REPUBLICAN HOPE
RISES IN MISSOURI
"Bossism" Becomes Issue as
New Democratic Candidate
for Governor Is Picked.
BY GEORGE X. WALLACE.


KANSAS CITY, Mo, october az
Republican chances for carrying Mis-
souri,, which until now have not been
substantial, have taken a jump forward
with more than mere hopes for foun-
dation.
The unexpected death last week OF
Francis M. Wilson, Democratic noml-
nee for Governor and the filling of the
vacancy this week by the Democratic
State Committee which selected Judge
Guy B. Park of Platte City has pro-
duced this condition. The new standard
bearer OF the Democratic party in the
State had the support of T. j. Pender-
gast, the Kansas City boss upon whom
a relentless fire has been centered by
the Republicans of Missouri on the issue
OF boSsism.
G. o. p. Renews Fight.
From one end of Missouri to the other
the Republicans have started Waglng
their battle afresh, picturing the new
Democratic gubernatorial nominee as
the hand picked candidate of Boss
Pendergast. Until now Pendergast'S ac-
tivities had been largely confined to his
big organization in Kansas City, al
though he long has been tremendous
factor in his partv's affairs in the State
Selection of successor to Wilson pro-
duced sharp differences in the Demo-
cratic ranks. which finally fader on the
eve of the committee meeting Monday
at Jefferson City which Pendergast at
tended. This has given the G. Q. T.
direct shot at Pendergast and the voters
of Missouri are being told that II the
Democrats win it will mean that Pen
nf
States affairs. Not only has this new
situation left dissension in that part OF
the Democratic ranks where there was
already noticeable feeling against the
Kansas City organization, but Is being
famed by the newspapers of st. Louis
where many Republicans are out OF line
because Of the attractiveness Of the wet
plank in the Democratic platform.
Republicans Confident.
Republicans feel confident that the
boss issue will result in driving many
Democrats to the G.. o. P. standard and
also bring back no small number OF
Republicans who have been of the
party reservation in st. Louis because
of the cry that is being made that the
election Of the Democratic State ticket
will mean that "Pendergast will run
Republican st. Louis"
Although Democrats belittle the re-
G. o. P. activities built on the
sudden loss through death Of Wilson
and the selection Of an almost unknown
candidate in his place, they are losing
no time in an attempt to counteract
the Republican assault. The G. o. P.
contends that the situation will prove
beneficial to the party from the top to
the bottom Of the ticket and gives
them renewed confidence in this State
where Democratic chances have been
regarded the best

SENATE CONTROL MAY HANG

Successor to Dwight w. Nor

Seen as Key Man.
Present Trend in State Re-

Democratic Candidates.
BY EDWARD M. GILROY.

special DlSpatch TO The Star.
TRENTON, N. j., October "a
Recognizing that control of the Senate
committees and patronage for the short
term OF Congress may be determined by
the senatorial election here, both Dem
ocratic and Republican national organ
izations are giving considerable aid to
their respective candidates.
Regardless Of how the elections will
affect the next Congress, the special
election here for the five years unex-
pired portion of Dwight w. Morrow's
term may be decisive for the short term
with the present membership a tie.
Neither Good Campaigner.
w. Warren Barbour, who served last
Spring by appointment, is the Repub-
lican candidate, and Representative
Percy H. Stewart is his Democratic op-
ponent
Neither candidate is considered good
campaigner a strange situation in such
an important election. Stewart, never
theless. will benefit by the strong or
ganization vote controlled by Frank
Hague, Democratic leader, while Barbour
is handicapped by the patchwork or
ganiZation Of the Republicans. How
ever, Barbour has the normal Repub-
lican majority in his favor.
Each candidate has attacked the
others record in Congress this year and
Democratic speakers have termed Bar
bour the successor to Joe Grundy OF
Pennsylvania as the high-tariff king.
Expect Financial Aid.
Substantial financial aid is under
stood to have been promised for the
two candidates by their respective ma
tional committees. The trend now is
Democratic without doubt, although there
is no pronounced margin in sight for
either party.
The Republicans unquestionably have
gained some ground by Favorable rc-
action to President Hoover's speeches,

MANCHESTER, N. H., October o.
With election only two weeks away, Re-
publicans of New Hampshire are max
ing a united effort to assure the re-
election of Herbert Hoover. Senator
George Moses, Gov. John G. Winant
and the entire Republican ticket. De-
spite the straw polls which indicate
New Hampshire as one of the sure Re-
publican States, leaders of the G. o. P.
feel the only way they can be sure
of victory is by an avalanche of ballots.
On the other hand, New Hampshire
Democrats feel more sure of electing
their candidates than ever before. Henri
T. Ledoux, candidate for Governor. and
former Gov Fred H. Brown, Senator
Moses opponent, seem to be gaining
strength. Manchester and Hllsborcugh

HELENA, Mont, October 22.-Na-
tional issues have been showed some
what in the background during the
week by f1are-up in the gubernatorial
battle. in which the incumbent, Gov.
j. E. Erickson. Democrat, seeks to retain
his seat, to which Lieut.. Gov. Frank A.
Hazelbaker of Dillon aspires. Hazel
baker, long a Republican war horse,
has been attacking Gov. Erickson's con-
duct Of State affairs. especially as re-
CARDS economy, to which Erickson has
made equally spirited reply.
United States Senator B. K Wheeler
has returned to battle for the Demo-
Gratis and United States Senator T. j.
Walsh is to get into the fight before
it is over. United States Senator Ed
ward P. Costigan of Colorado was
brought to the State during the week
by the Democrats.
One of the puzzling phases OF the
campaign thus far is the utter lack of
interest in prohibition. Montana is usu-
ally ranked among the wet States, but
neither party seems to care to stress
liquor and the issue is almost forgotten.

HARRISBURG, Pa, october 22.-
Gov. Roosevelt's appearance in Penn
sylvania for an address in Pittsburgh
this week brought the Democratic cam
paign in this State to its highest point.
Republican scouts who trailed him re-
ported his advocacy OF beer for rev.
enue" brought the greatest approval
from his audience.
Some of the scouts added his state
ment that bonus cannot be paid until
the Federal Treasury holds a cash sur
plus. has lost him many veterans votes.
Other observers discount this claim
holding the Hoover bonus veto cost the
President the veterans votes which Will
not be changed by Roosevelts reiter-
alton of his bonus stand announced last
April.
Helped Roosevelt Cause.
Obviously, Roosevelt's bonus state
ment and his economy proposal to cut
the Federal Governments operating ex-
pense by IS per cent, has not hurt him
with the conservative element, from
which the Hoover votes will be drawn
almost entirely
On the eve of his appearance here,
Roosevelt received aid from an uncX-
pected quarter, Father James R. Cox,
Pennsylvania only presidential nomi-
nee announced his withdraw from the
race and asked his followers in the
"Jobless" party to follow Roosevelt.
While the priest was not expected to
cut much Of figure in the total vote,
he has a following in the Pittsburgh
district where the Republicans have
been facing trouble in this campaign.
His action will aid in consolidating the
protest vote for Roosevelt
The difficulty of the Democratic cam
paign seems to be that it reached its
crest too early. The climax came with
Roosevelt'S appearance-almoSt three
weeks before election-and no other
main attractions are scheduled by the
Democrats to keep the interest in their
candidate at high pitch Hope that Al
Smith might speak in Philadelphia or
elsewhere in the eastern part of the
State, appears to have been abandoned
bv the Democratic leaders, who recog-
nize Smith more than any other speaker
could aid Roosevelt in that section.
John w. Davis, the nominee of 1924,
may be sent in as a substitute.
Plan Active Climax.
Meanwhile, the Republicans are plan
ming their hardest campaign for the
closing weeks, to take the edge off the
Democratic climax. They are planning
900 meetings for the Friday and Sat-
urday nights before election. with a big
rally on the final Saturday in each of
the 81 county seats.
To counteract the effect of Roosevelt's
appearance, the State candidates have
been campaigning in the western end
of the State and two rallies are planned
for Pittsburgh in the coming week.
Wednesday night the State nominees
will speak there and Friday night SEN
ator David A. Reed will do his first
campaigning of the year at another
Pittsburgh rally. Secretary of War
Patrick J. Hurley will speak in Phila-
delphia Thursday night

informed that the House Resolu-
 tion providing for the appropria-
 tion of $30,O0O to defray the ex-
 penses of participation by the Gov-
 ernment in the Second Polar Year
 Program, August 1, 1882 to August
 31, 1883, is likely to pass the Sen
 ate and thus become a law, as the
 Resolution has already passed the House. Most of this money will
 be used to erect and maintain a
 station at Fairbanks. According to the plan there are to be some
 80 stations established throughout
 the world, supported by various governments of the world. To cer- tain governments are allotted cer- tain stations. Our government is allotted station at or near Fair banks, Alaska. The idea is that
 at an instantaneous moment throughout the world the whole 80 stations will take observations, % that when all the data is gather ed together the station in Alaska can say what happened to that station on that particular day at that particular minute and the other stations of the world will be able to say what happened to their stations at that particular place and at that particular mo- ment. It could not be brought to such accuracy 50 years ago when the other polar year was held, but by reason of the radio it can be brought to the very in- stant. The consequence will be that when the station in Alaska says that the polar lights ap- peared at certain time and cer- tain things happened, the stations of the world can say what hap pened by virtue of those polar lights at their particular station.
