no little in downing the Vic's
Sport Shop, AZ to %, before the
largest crowd to witness court
game at Silver Spring Armory
this year.
Evans was assigned to guard
Joe Sweeney, scoring ace OF
Vic's. He did this so well that
the little IriShman was unable to
get but seven points. This is
something very unusual as Swee-
ney has a point average OF IL
points per game or better.
The Eagles struck early. Be
fore the contest was a few min
utes old the defending champions
had piled up an II to 2 score.
The first quarter ended with the
Skinkers on top, IL to 6. In fact
the challengers were never ahead.
At intermission the score was 19
to 10. The third quarter score
was, 33 to IL.
Not only did Evans look good,
hut the entire Eagle team played
a bangup game, Bennie, Radice,
Nee, Heagy and MacCartee. Jake
Goldblatt and Joe Sweeney made
the majority of the losers points.
BY the virtue of the victory yes
terday the Skinkers now lead the
round robin series. Standings:

are confident of ultimate victory.
The significance of the Brookhart
candidacy lies in the fact that the DEM

year than for two decades: No one
knows how much has been lost by the
Republicans, but it is certain that Hoo

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, September "a
Both national party camps have started
moving their big guns up on the Mis-
souri, front which in the approaching
election holds out one of the most at
tractive prizes at stake, a block of IS
Representatives, in addition to its
electoral vote
Few States are receiving more atten-
ton than Missouri, which this time
must elect at large its members to the
National House of Representatives. due
to the failure of the General Assembly
to realign MiSsouri's congressional dis
trictS. It is fair forecast at this dis
tance to say that the States delegation
will go as block to the party which
carries Missouri. and that Is one of the
big reasons the two national parties
have already begun to center their
efforts here.
Gov. Roosevelt, who has already bow
ed to the Missourians on a trip across
the state plans to return f he here around
speeches Of the campaign in st. Louis
Likewise others of his party are being
lined up for service in this State. On
the Republican side Vice President Cur
tbs is scheduled to speak October 3 in
Kansas City with arrangements now
under way to bring in three of Presi-
dent Hoover's cabinet, Secretaries Hyde,
Mills and Hurley, to carry on the @. o.
p. assault.
Today still finds the Democrats of
Missouri more cocksure than ever with
conservative onlookers strongly inclined
to the opinion there is foundation for
their hopes. In the face Of the Demo-
cratic prediction shouts the Repub-
licans, who have had control of the
State the last IL years, are marshaling
their forces as few times before to down
the Democratic atmosphere which has
followed in the trail of the Roosevelt
trip across the State last week.

A great many of the $1,000 absentee
voters in the District are preparing to
vote in their home States this year, &C
cording to indications at the headquar-
tiers Of the National Capital Republican
Club.
This statement was based on the rela-
tive number of inquiries received at the
clubs headquarters. at Sixteenth street
and Scott Circle. for information In re-
gard to registration, the number OF calls
for assistance in preparing registration
blanks and the amount OF interest
shown in mail voting.
Some Changes in Laws.
A number of residents who were I'M
able to vote by mail in 1928 will find
that alterations in the election system
in their home States will permit them
to cast ballots this year. club officials
said Rhode Island, they pointed out,
has a new absentee voters law, while
the system has been modified in Kansas
to permit voting by mail. California,
Colorado and Arkansas also have made
more liberal provisions for voting by
mail.
The HOO Washingtonians entitled to
vote in Rhode Island can secure ln1or-
nation on the new regulations from
Joseph H. Trainor at the clubs head
quarters on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays.
Since registration can not be COM
pleted by mail in several States, ar
engagements are being made with prin-
cipal railroads to transport District
residents to their homes for the pur-
pose of registering and voting at a
minimum cost. 1t is expected the re-
duced fare will go into effect late in
October.

Progressive" Movement Plays Out

Convention.
BY L. M. THAYER-
Special Dispatch to The Star.


HELENA, Mont. September 24.-The
way. Both parties have chosen their
State Central Committee chairmen and
arranged their platforms. From row
until the end, an intensive campaign
will be waged from headquarters estab-
Iished here.
The Democrats reelected w. w. Nc
Dowen Of Butte as their State chair
man. The Republicans chose j. w.
Speer of Great Falls, who succeeds J.
D. Scemlan of Miles City, resigned to
become national committeeman.
A much advertised progressive con-
vention to have been held IS the old
parties met did not materialize. So
lar as could be learned, not delegate
showed UP, not even Jesse Stevens,
Great Falls lawyer. in whose name the
call had been issued. This probably
ends all effort at bolt from either
old party
Some interest was shown this week
in the statement made in New York by
Clarence Hathaway. national chairman
that that party expected to elect q
member of Congress in Montana. The
party has a candidate for Congress,
Harry Juvel, in the second, or eastern,
district, but neither Mr.. Juvel nor his
party has aroused much concern. The
Communists control a portion Of one
county in the second, but of late have
been understood to be losing ground.
Perhaps the outstanding incident Of
the week was the visit Of Gov. Roosevelt
to Butte, where on Monday he was
greeted by a tremendous outpour1ng OF
Democrats from all sections of the
State. Gov Roosevelt seems to have
made a very happy impression on all
who met him, and his visit, while brief.
unquestionably gave the party's cam
paign great impetus in Montana.

SIOUX FALLS. S. Oak, September
24.-Contending that the presidential
election throughout the Nation may be
SO close that the comparatively small
electoral vote of South Dakota may be
necessary to give victory to one side
or the other, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis have redoubled their efforts to
carry the State at the November
election.
AS yet it appears to be anybody's
fight with the farmer vote being the
uncertain quantity in this years presi-
dental contest in South Dakota.
Angered by the low prices of farm
products, they are said to be deserving

Republicans of South Dakota. how
ever. are confident of re-electing their
candidates for Congress They are
Senator Peter NorbeciS and Representa-
tives C A. Christopherson of Sioux
Falls and William Williamson Of

The Democratic candidates who OPP
poe them are making a hard fight,
but it is believed the Republican slump

tend to the United States senatorship

PORTLAND, Greg, September a.
Oregon's Democratic organization came
to the high tide Of its campaign We'd
nesday, when Gov. Roosevelt spent the
day in Portland delivering one Of his
scheduled major addresses" the sub
ject chosen being water power and
utility control. That subject undoubt-
edly was chosen for this particular sec
ton of the country upon advice given
by Oregon and Washington party lead
ers, for 1t is a live issue in both States.
The Columbia River, the largest po-
tential electric power source in the
nation forms the boundary between the

the leadership Of the pro-power cam.
paigns here were most outspoken in OBJ
lection to the stand on that question
taken by President Hoover.
At any rate the Democratic State
Committee sent Gov. Roosevelt and
Chairman Farley on their way with
the contention that all that was neceS-
sary to see Oregon in the Roosevelt
column on November was to hold the
line.
G. o. p. in Difficulties.
The Republican State Committee is
broke, in debt and having difficult
time to raise current funds, let alone
meet the demands of its creditors. This
has resulted in the organization OF a
Hoover Curtis Club, into which has
been drawn as leading organizers Gov
Meier, regardless of his having bolted
the ticket and wrecked the State or
ganization two years ago. Also Sena-
tor Charles l.. McNary, who has been
quiescent at his farm home since the
adjournment OF the Senate. and Sena-
tor Frederick Steiwer, who is running
for reelection, are included.
1t is no secret that neither of them
is enthusiastic about being tied into
the presidential campaign this time
particularly when the underlying pur-
pose in the organization of the Hoover
Curtis Club is to have 1t, in practical
effect, supplant the State Committee
and assume the leadership in the con-
duct of the campaign from now on.
II indicates the disOrganized condition
in the Republican ranks. which gives
the Democrats reason to have high
hopes.

Roosevelt Backers United, While
Republicans Disagree on
Issues in Campaign.
BY W. b, GATES.
Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BURLINGTON, VT, September "a
The upset in the supposedly rock-ribbed
State of Maine has given the Repub-
lican leaders in Vermont much food for
thought and through the newspapers
they are calling on the State. county
and town committees to get busy and
start an energetic campaign.
The fact that the Democrats had only
one candidate for each of the principal
State Offices at the primary last week
while the Republicans were divided and
the further fact that the Democrats are
apparently united in their views about
national issues. particularly prohibition,
while the Republicans are far from
agreement on the latter question. leads
many to believe that the vote for Roose-
welt in November will far exceed that
ever cast in the Green Mountain State
for any Democratic nominee for the
Presidency.
Roosevelt's visit to the State early in
the month enthused Vermont Demo-
Gratis to a point not reached in many
years, but if Calvin Coolidge could be
induced to attend rally at Montpelier
and appeal for votes for Hoover. Yer
mont Republicans might show some OF
the enthusiasm which now prevails
among their political opponents.
