Improvement Hailed
In Respect for Flag

To the Editor OF The Star:
Having for several years been the
active head of the United States Flag
Association, whose aims are to foster
reverence for the flag of the United
States and 70 combat all influences,
Communistic and other, which are hos
tile to the ideals and institutions for
which that flag stands. l read with
deep interest your recent editorial
Respect for the Flag" I agree with
you absolutely regarding the desirability
Of our people paying greater respect to
our national emblem. That there is
room-indeed, much room-for improve
ment no one will deny, but l cannot
agree with your statement to the eff
feet that the Stars and Stripes when
passing in parades now receives less
tribute than formerly. As student of
the subject. my observation has been
that since the adoption of the flag code
nine years ago and the educational work
that has since then been conducted by
the American Legion. the Daughters of
the American Revolution, the United
States Flag Association and other pa
triotic societies there has been great
improvement in the paying of proper
respect to the flag.
There is no question but that the sv-
erage American wants to pay proper
respect to the flag of his country If
he fails to do SO, it is because he does
not know how. He has never been
taught. The matter has never been
brought to his attention.
Careful study of the subject and sew
eral years experience in flag work con-
vince me that the paying of proper
respect TO the flag by the American
people is simply matter of education,
especially OF our youth-just the kind
of work the United States Flag Asso-
citation has been doing for the last eight
years.
The newspapers OF the country can
help very much by the publication of
articles like your splendid editorial by
conducting flag contests and in other
ways. JAMES A. MOSS.

From his own lips We have this
pledge: The first duty of the Presi-
dent of the United States is to enforce
the laws as they exist That I shall
continue to do to the best of my abil-
ity. Any other course would be the
abrogation of the very guarantees of
liberty itself
mo such word has come from his
opponent. Gov. Roosevelt has prom
ised beer and yet more beer-a special
session of the Congress to legalize
beer-as though getting drunk were the
supreme good and a revenue wrung
from the degradation and destruction
Of American citizens a blessing greatly
to be desired.
His utter lack of vision his willing
ness to pander to the criminal and cor
rupt in the community, and his pledge
to attempt sheer notification of the
Constitution in the interest of intoxi-
eating beer, stamps him as utterly
unfit for high Office of President.

WILMINGTON, Del, November s.
Although the campaign on the Repub-
lican side has not been as harmonious
as the party leaders could wish and
the Democrats have raised the issue Of
vote buying, Delaware today seems safe
for Hoover and most of the State
ticket. After an uninterrupted record
of State domination Of 80 years there
is no doubt that the Republicans have
lost ground. However. with nominal
majority of $4,000 out a total of 10000
votes, the Republicans should withstand
the strong inroades made by their op-
ponents. The latter are hopeful OF
carrying the State by from 1000 to
5000. Gov. C. Douglass Buck, Repub-
ican. will be elected over Landreth L.
Layton, Democrat, probably running
ahead of the rest Of the ticket. Mr.
Hoover's speeches are given credit for
saving the State for the Republicans.
Delaware will elect a Representative
to succeed Representative Robert G.
Houston, Republican. The State has
but one member in the national House

platforms. The drys .and Houstons
irate friends in the two lower counties
have rallied to the support of the
Rev. F. Burgette Short. q Methodist
minister, who was nominated by the
Independent party 1t is thought that
he will pull enough votes away from
Satterthwaite to defeat him. It would
not be surprise if Adams won.
The Legislature is in doubt. The
Republicans are claiming that they will
at least control the Senate. The con-
troll of the Legislature will be of the

have the appointment of an entirely
new State judiciary and the Legislature
will have to confirm the new judges.
In some of the districts the liquor
question is a factor, as an effort will be
made this time to repeal the dry en-
forcement and liquor possession laws.

DEMOCRATS CLAIM
WEST VIRGINIA GAIN
Forecast Gives State to Gov.
Roosevelt by Safe
Majority.
BY ROBERT H. HORNER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, November 8.
West Virginia's eight ELECTORAL votes
will go to Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt
by a safe ma ajority Friday unless fore
casts fail to materialiZe.
A powerful eleventh-hour drive TO
re-elect President Hoover has been
started in an effort to line up the con-
servative groups in both parties. Some
observers think 1t may have been more
effective than Is shown on the surface.
Within the last several weeks there
has been change in the political
outlook which succeeded in bringing
President Hoover's candidacy more
prominently before the people. This is
admitted on all sides. The shift has
stimulated party workers. Republican
leaders now assert publicly that the
President will carry the State, but pri-
vately admit they have doubts.
Democratic leaders have refused to
admit. even privately, that any gains
have been made by the Republicans.
Robert G. Kelly, chairman Of the State
Democratic Campaign Committee, in
his latest statement, said Roosevelt had
gained in strength, particularly in in
dustrial centers where Republicans, in
spired by President Hoover's tariff
speeches in the State, claimed to have
achieved their best results.
Predicts 100000 Majority.
Mr. Kelly said that he would be pre-
pared to close the campaign Monday
with firm belief that Roosevelt's ma
jority in West Virginia would run well
over 100000.
The Democratic chairman Is not
alone in making such claims. They
come from all of the Democratic lead
ers and from many other sources.
The first evidence Of a widespread
shift to the Democrats came two years
ago when the Republican registration
dropped from majority Of 10000 to
around 10000. Since 1880 the Republi-
can registration has taken another drop
and is now only about 10000 more than
the Democratic registration.
GovernOrship Race Close.
The State tickets are expected to
have little effect on the presidential
candidates The contest between T. c.
Townsend OF Charleston, Republican
candidate for Governor, and H. G.
Kump OF Elkins, the Democratic can
didate, is regarded as close Mr. Town
send, however, early in the campaign
appeared to have things his own way,
bit according TO observers here, he has
steadily lost ground, because of the Wig
orous campaign work Of Mr.. Kump
II Mr. Kump wins, 1t is regarded as
extremely likely the entire State Demo-
cratic ticket will win.
Democrats appear to have excellent
chances of winning both houses of the
State Legislature If they elect six
State Senators they will gain control
of the State Senate while the Repubh-
cans must elect eleven in order to
maintain control
The present House OF Delegates al
ready is heavily Democratic and party
leaders feel that their majority will be
maintained after the election.
The Democrats also appear to have
a good chance to elect four out Of the
six Representatives allotted to West
Virginia.

Capper Tariff Is Leading Issue in

Arlzonas three electoral votes will 20

Douglas to victory.
Arizonas registration, however.
doesn't reflect the political alleciance
of the voters. Many Republicans reg

party's primary. The normal Demo-
cratic majority is estimated at $4,000
out OF $4,000 registered voters.
Much of the active opposition to
senator Hayden and Representative
Douglas from World War veterans for
their votes against immediate payment
OF the bonus has disappeared It was
the principal issue in the primary con-
tests in which both had Comparatively
narrow margins.
A copper tariff has been the prtn-

Cameron by advocating a 10-cent tariff.

IN c. D. P. LOSSES
Roosevelt Expected to Garry
State and Nye to Return
to Senate.
BY KENNETH w. SIMONS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BISMARCK. N. Oak, November s.
President Hooyers friends have only a
forlorn hope of carrying this State Tor
him Tuesday.
There has been something OF shift
toward the President since the opening
Of the campaign, but most observers
hold it doubtful that it has been strong
enough to stem the sweep of anti-Hoo-
Yer sentiment. The shift has been
strongest in the cities. which were just
as strongly against Hoover at the be-
ginning as the rural districts, but the
Hoover campaign has been unable to
reach the folks on the farms.
Chief among the reasons for this has
been the detection from Hover among
candidates in his own party.
G. o. p. for Roosevelt.
Not one of the candidates nominated
at the State primary in June has ex-
pressed open support for him. One. Will
liam Lemke. Republican congressional
candidate, has openly campaigned for
Roosevelt. The other congressional can
didate, j. H. Sinclair, has kept mum as
has Gerald P Nye, Junior Senator seek
ing reelection.
The reason for this is that the dom
inant wing of the Republican party,
which carried them through In the pri-
mary. also is for Roosevelt, and every
candidate has felt that support of the
presidential ticket would seriously i'm
pair his chances of election.
The Democratic State ticket has made
campaign in North Dakota for the
first time in years Although their
main hope is that a large number OF
persons will vote her straight" after
deciding to leave the G. o. p, the
Roosevelt campaign has been disso-
ciated from that of other Democratic
candidates.
Since the beginning of the campaign
Hoover's friends have wondered only
how big the. ma jority will be and esti-
mates run all the way from 10000 to
$4,000. 1t is only recently that any Of
them have even begun to suggest the
possibility that he may win.
Odds Favor Nye.
In the State races, however, the odds
still favor the Republican candidates.
and Nye is regarded as certain to win
the Senate contest as Roosevelt is to
carry the State.
With regard to the governorShip. the
States internal politics have played a
big part and the Democrats are really
confident of winning for the first time
since John Burke, late treasurer of the
United States. was elected in 1906 as the
result OF split in the Republican ranks.
The size of the vote will depend
largely on the weather. In 1928 the
total poll was slightly more than 249 900,
but roads were good and farmers found
it easy to get to the polls Indications
this year are that the vote may be
smaller. since the population of the
State is believed to have been slightly
reduced during the four-year period.
