WOMAN IS CANDIDATE
FOR U. S. SENATE SEAT
Miss Clara Harrigal First Of Sex
in South Carolina to Be Nomi-
mated for This Office.
BY FITZ HUGH McMASTER.

Special Dispatch to The Star
COLUMBIA, S. c., october 1.-For
the first time in over 40 years the Re-
publican party in South Carolina has
a nominee for the United States Senate.
For the first time in over 200 years the
State sees a woman nominated for such
a high office The candidate put for
ward by the Republican leaders Is Miss
Clara Harrigal of Aiken Miss Harrigal
is the daughter of Confederate war
officer. a member of the United Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy and an ohce
holder in the local chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
The nomination Of Miss Harrigal,
and her platform will draw many votes,
but in no way will it bring fear into
Democratic hearts. for the registration
of Democrats Is SO overwhelming that
the votes cast for any Republican
nominee will be small.
Nevertheless, with Miss Harrigal in
the field for the United States Senate,
and nominees in each OF the congress
sional districts for the National House
Of Representatives. and nominees for
several county Offices and for the State
House of Representatives, distinct ad-
vance is seen for the Republican party,
and. as Miss Harrigal says. will afford
opportunity for the establishment Of a
strong opposition party.

ILLINOIS POLITICS IS SETTING
UNDER SPUR OF INSULT FAILURE

National Leaders Focus on State
to Hold It for Hoover.
publican State and national organizers

publican State and national organizers
have entered upon a determined cam
paign to try to save Illinois 20 electoral
votes for the Republican column. Ever
EFT Sanders, Republican national chair
man, has let it be known that Chicago
and Illinois have not been surrendered
and that on the contrary, he has some
surprises up his sleeve which he claims
will turn the tide.
United States Senator Otis F. Glenn.
Republican, who Is making the fight of
his life for reelection, has locked arms
with Len Small in an effort to combine
known to be definitely antagonistic.
Former United States Senator Charles
8. Deneen, for instance, was very close
to President Hoover when he was
member of the Senate He Is vigorous
in his support of the President, but can
not reconcile himself to the candidacy
of Small for Governor. 1t was Senator
Deneen who joined with Gov. L. L.
Emmerson in preventing the election of
Frank l.. Smith as national committee
man during the caucuses of the Illinois
delegation at the Republican National
Convention.
Governor Is Aloof.
1t Is also noticeable that Gov.
Emmerson and his defeated candidate
for Governor in the recent Republican
primary, Omer N. Custer of Galesburg,
are holding themselves aloof from the
campaign to re-elect Len Small, Repub-
lican candidate for Governor
United States Senator Glenn thus be-
comes the spearhead of the closely cir
cumscribed Hoover Small harmony
group. He is voicing the rallying cry
that President Hoover is not responsible
for the depression. He says: "On the
contrary, President Hoover avoided the
disaster which has overtaken other ma
tions during the worldwide depression
and has paved the way back to pros
perity."
Senator Glenn has classified the
Western speeches OF Gov. Roosevelt as
"demagogic," to which the Democrats
retort that President Hoover's appear
ance at Des Moines next Tuesday is but
slipping and that the President himself
has been forced to join the rescue squad
Meanwhile, flames of political excite
ment are spreading over the prairies of
Illinois. The State Legislature is in a
special session snarl over relief bills
Feeling engendered in the Horner- Small
battle for Governor turks in every nook
and corner of the State. Former Gov.
Small is being pilloried for a court ac-

fund 100000 in interest money to the
State and Small's campaigners are re-
plying with bitter attacks upon Mayor
Cermak of Chicago.
These flames threaten at this writing
to grow into the greatest political con-

CHICAGO. Ill, October This city
has become the focal point of great
political drama being enacted in Illi-
nois and the Nation. Follow the pres
ence here today of Gov. Roosevelt, Dem
ocratic presidential nominee. Demo-
cratic State and national organization
leaders reiterated their prediction that
Gov. Roosevelt would carry Illinois by
half million and the Nation by TO-
100000 votes
Conferences held in Chicago earlier
in the week with James A. Farley, New
York, chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, as the nucleus, were
marked by the utmost confidence in
Roosevelt's strength in Illinois They
say the only question is the size OF his
majority.
That Gov. Roosevelt has agreed to
return to speak in Chicago and other
points in Illinois later this month Is
interpreted as meaning that the Demo-
cratic nominee not only wants to make
victory in Illinois secure, but to spread
the psychic effect of his strength in this
Republican State into the doubtful sec
tions of the East.
insult Failure Big Factor.
The sensational collapse Of the insult
utility empire founded here in Chicago
is accepted by Gov Roosevelt and his
lieutenants as convincing proof Of the
need Of some such drastic action as
recommended by Roosevelt in his Port
land address relative to full publicity
for holding companies, the regulation
of rates and the protection Of investors.
That section of the Republican press in
Illinois which is supporting Henry Hor-
ner, Chicago Democratic candidate for
Governor, against former Gov. Len
Small, Republican, Is calling attention
to the facts with deadly effect. One OF
the most powerful of those newspapers,
which will support a Hoover -Horner
combination, says:
Mr.. Roosevelt's references to the re-
lations of public officials and power in
terests were peculiarly pertinent in Illi-
nois, where Frank Smith Republican
national committeeman is managing
Small's campaign for the governorship.'
Publication of the list Of prominent
Illinois politicians and business men
who formed a S6000.000 secret insult
utility investment company in 1880 and
bought common stock $40 under the
open-market price has caused veri-

JERSEY STILL HELD
IN DOUBTFUL LIST
What "Four-Year Vote" Will
Do May Decide Election
Next Month.
BY EDWARD NJ. GILROY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TRENTON, N. j., October New
Jersey must still be listed as doubtful
State and its Is electoral college votes
not assured to either President Hoover
or Gov. Roosevelt on the basis Of senti-
ment displayed SO far.
The State normally is Republican in
presidential years by 100000. The big
gest difference this year is that the
usual Republican sentiment, strongly
pronounced at this time Of the cam
paign, is entirely lacking. The only
Republican advocates are closely allied
with the party or the administration,
so that their support means nothing
But there is no evidence as yet how the
large bloc of four-year voters, not con-
trolled by the organizations. will vote.
And their ballots will decide the elec-
tion.
Democrats Well Organized.
On the basis OF organization the
Democrats are far ahead. Mayor Frank
Hague of Jersey City, Democratic State
leader, returned this week from Eu-
rope and was well pleased at the or
ganization work progressing. The DEM
tzation, and also are well tntrenched
through patronage Of the Governors Of
fice IN many counties normally Repub-
lican.
The Republicans, on the other hand,
have no State wide organization worthy
Of the name. Edward 8. Stokes, former
Governor, has taken over chalrmansnlp
Of the campaign, a job that had no
seekers. He is working hard to rebuild
the ranks shattered by the Democratic
landslide of last year, but It Is plain the
party has not got its former confidence.
In addition, the Republicans are hav-
ing a hard time financially, burden
for organization work, because they
have been financed so well in the past.
Year Vote Facts.
The Republicans best chance OF
holding the State, which their leaders
have been frank enough to admit, Is
to retain enough Of the four-year
voters to give them a majority, no mat
ter how slim. Overwhelmingly RepuD-
lican in the past, this four year vote
will be sufficient to elect the ticket TINS
wear. unless the Democrats make tre-
mendous inroads on the dissatisfaction
with economic conditions.
Democratic leaders declare the pro-
test vote will be more evident IN this
group than elsewhere, since 1t Is not
amenable to organization control, and
therefore the party will sweep the
State. The Republicans hope to retain
enough Of this vote to offset the de-
preston protest and their lack OF or.
ganization. Only that cushion OF
100000 normal plurality can save the
Republicans.

THREAT IN Indiana
ST|RS REPUBLICANS
No Effort Made to Gloss Over
Factors Favorable to
Democrats.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October l.
The Republican State Committee,
charged with the duty Of keeping In
diana in the G. o. P column, frightened
its belt at a meeting this week and
ordered an intensive organization drive
in an effort to defect what appears to
many observers to be Democratic tide.
The committee soberly recognized the
fact, after thorough check up. that
the State which gave President Hoover
a 100000 majority four years ago ap-
pears bent in the opposite direction at
this time No effort was made TO paint
the picture In rosy hues: instead, the
committee openly commented on the
situation and used it as the basis for
renewed activity.
Ivan Morgan, State chairman, thinks
the next five weeks will see definite
trend back to the traditional Republic
canism Of the Hoosier State He Is
placing considerable reliance in the
forthcoming speeches of President
Hoover and also on the heavyweights
the national committee IS expected TO
throw into the State.
In the meantime the Democratic
leaders, recognizing that it is no small
trick to capture the State for Demo-
cratic presidential candidate, are eau
tioning their workers against overcon-
fdence.
Gov. Roosevelt is expected to
enter Indiana for mass meeting at
Indianapolis sometime after the middle
of October, and he will be supplemented
by two nationally known Democratic
flgures-Gov. Joseph B. Ely Of Massa-
chusetts. and Gov. Albert c. Ritchie OF
Maryland. Ely was asked TO come in
an effort to win back some of the Smith
Democrats who have held aloof from
the Rocsevelt-Garner ticket.
Echoes of the famous Washington
social battle will be heard in the State,
too, for the Republicans have booked
both Mrs Alice Roosevelt Longworth
and Mrs. Dolly Gam for speeches.

that they are lining up for Theodore
Warner, Democratic candidate for Con-
gress; Tom Berry. Democratic candi-
date for Governor, and for Roosevelt
for President. Democratic leaders be-
lieve this will result in a Republican
defeat in the Western South Dakota
congressional district.
Republican leaders do not concede
any Of the claims of the Democrats
and expect to carry South Dakota for
Hoover and re-elect Senator Peter Nor
beck. their two candidates for Congress,
their candidate for Governor and their
entire State ticket, with a majority in
both branches of the State Legislature.
