Senate Is Indicated;
Tariff Is Issue.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times stan Writer -

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. "a
Although Utah was one of the two
states which stayed Republican in
1912, Governor Franklin D. Roose-
welt is conceded an excellent chance
to carry it against President Herbert
Hoover in November.
Republicans admit they would
face defeat if the election were to-
day.
This mining and sheep-raiSing
state has suffered more acutely
that its neighbors.
Democratic leaders predict they
will defeat Senator Reed Smoot, who
is seeking his sixth senate term.
He is opposed by Professor Ebert D.
Thomas of the University of Utah,
who is centering his attack on the
tariff law Of which Smoot was CO.
author.
Hoover carried Utah by only $4,000,
when mines we're going full-blast,
smelters were on a six-day basis,
prices were high. and sheep men
were getting good returns.
Now these industries, which
supported Hoover in 1923, are fiat on
thoir back, and have made no move
to aid Smoot or Hoover.
ON here, the Democrats have

HOOVER ASSAILED BY

G. o. P. Administration Bitterly
Failed at Goshen Rally.
By Times Special
GOSHEN, Sept. 24.-"Inefectual-
lty and gross stupidness" of the
Hoover administration were assailed
by Paul V. McNutt, Governor nom
lnee, and Clarence L. Manion, Notre
Dame law professor, in addresses at
a Democratic rally here this after
noon. -
If conditions today amount to
normally, then let's get rid of
normalcy and back to the happy
days such as we had under Wood
row Wilson," asserted McNutt.
Decreased incomes and decreased
abilities to pay on the part of the
taxpayers have been met by Pres
loent Hoover with greatly increased
expenditures on the part of the
federal establishment. This BUSH

Roosevelt, However, Gains
in Shift of G. 0. p.
Supporters.

Scattered returns in the national
straw vote conducted by the Liter
airy Digest, and announced in to-
days issue, show that President
Hoover has a slight lead over his
Democratic opponent, Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
OF the 60,327 ballots returned, 3d.
1913 are for Hoover and 1854 are
for Roosevelt. Remainder of the
ballots have been cast for five can
didates of minor parties, with Nor
man Thomas, Socialist candidate,
receiving the largest share.
The slight national lead of Hoo
yer is reflected in Indiana in the
first returns, with Hoover receiving
1,l09 votes to Roosevelt's GOT.
Analysis of the Indiana vote
shows, however, that Roosevelt
gained in the swing from former
allegiances. Comparison of the votes
cast in the 1928 poll shows that 200
Republican votes then have been
given to Roosevelt this year, while
only ninety-five Democratic votes in
1928 have shifted to Hoover.

But the rub was the price Of

In addition, the statesmen out

point program for federal regula-

Roosevelt, himself, anticipated
such a consequence when he told
his hearers to judge him by the
enemies he has made.
Public utility interests long have

IN THIS CONSISTENCY?

The Juneau Empire waxes eloquent in it's protest against ransfeence of the activities of the Alaska Road Commission from the War to the Interior Department It sets up the postuae that such change would undo the accomplishments of the War Department.
 The announcement from Washington set forth as the reason for this change that it in line with emi nation of multiple bureaus and concentrating Alaskan federal activities under one department.
 Assuming this to be the actual status of the situation, 1t would appear inconsistent to protest against such soldaon in view of the repeated complaints of the that bureaucracy was the bane of the Territory
 The Empires position is pardonable in view of the fact that due to the heaviest federal investment in Alas ka is in the Railroad Zone many headquarters hitherto centered in Juneau promise to be removed in- innate contact with activities.
 It is eminently unfair claim that the Interior De- artment is honeycombed with ncompetency despite the fatal error of yielding to Senator Howell in placing bur- densome railroad rates upon the people,
 Juneau has multiple resources more important than bureau headquarters No grudges her these things but rather exalts with her.
 This continual protest against every seeking to reduce bureaucracy must appear to Washington rah CT paradoxcal in the light of what has gone before
 At any rate the change is worthy of a trial
