DISABLED VE rs
TOF|GHT CUTS

Concluding a conference with
Government officials with whom
he has consulted for nearly a
week, William Conley, of Los
Angeles, national commander of
the Disabled American Veterans,
left Washington last night declar-
ing his organization would wage
the fight of it's history to pre-
vent slashing of appropriations
at the expense of disabled vet
Grams.
The country is being flooded
with propaganda, much of which
is misleading, as part of an anti
veteran movement, Conley de-
clared.
Retrenchment in Government
expenditures at the expense of
those today handicapped by ser
vice-connected ailments will not
be tolerated without a fight, the
commander said.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. October g.
Encouraged by what they termed Pres
ident Hoover's fighting speech at Dea
Moines, the Indiana Republican or
ganization redoubled its efforts this
week. The heartening effect Of the
address was noticeable, and for the first
time since the campaign began an op-
timistic note ran through headquarters.
The Democrats likewise felt encour-
aged by the handshaking scene between
Gov. Roosevelt and AL Smith.
Further aid to the Republican cause
came in the person Of Will H. Hays
movie car and formerly national chair
man, who arrived at State headquar-
tiers and Immediately plunged into a
series Of conferences. Hays explained
that he is returning merely to play "a
citizens part in politics" Nevertneiess
he is looked upon as the man who can
cement the discordant elements.
Senator Arthur r. Robinson has an
nounced he would seek denomination
in 1884. Rumors had been afioat that
the Junior Senator would retire at the
close of his term and that Hays might
seek the place The Senator also be-
gan a series of IS speeches In behalf
Of President Hoover and his colleague,
Senator James E. Watson.
Despite all the renewed activity IN
Republican circles. however. polls, both
official and individual, still ran strong

PORTLAND. Greg, October S-The

for Governor as an independent and

badly shattered and in debt.
This year the committee elected an
anti-Meier man as State chairman,
while the administration sat on the
side lines. Finally D. w. Davis of the
Department of Agriculture came to Ore

SIOUX FALLS, S. Oak, October g.
In their plans to leave nothing undone
which will aid them in carrying South
Dakota. especially for their national
ticket, Democrats Of the State announce
they will have at least two speakers of
rational reputation invade the State

The Republicans Of South Dakota are
not inactive An active part in the
campaign is being taken by Senator
Peter Norbeck and Representatives c. A.
Christopherson and William William
son, who were renominated by the Re
publicans at the May primary election.
Some political scouts for the Repub-
licans contend that large numbers OF
Republican farmers of South Dakota
will not dessert the party. but will at
the November election support Presi-
dent Hoover and the remainder of the
nominees on the Republican ticket.

HOOVER'S IOWA SPEECH
HELPS ARIZONA CAMPAIGN
Democratic Drive in State Gets

PHOENIX, Ariz, October 8.-Presi-
dent Hoover's farm speech at Des
Moines strengthened the chances of
the Republican national ticket in the
agricultural section of Arizona, where
40 per cent of the States voters reside.
Political leaders in the capital city
credit the Presidents farm talk with
winning many thousand more votes
for the Republican ticket in Arizona
than the personal appearance here of
Gov. Roosevelt did for the Democrats.
Arizona Democrats appear to have
ample funds for the campaign. Writ
G. Bowman, former owner of the ex-
elusive Aqua Caliente Hotel at Tia
Juana, Mexico, and multi-millionaire
is Democratic national committeeman.
Mrs. John c. Greenway, Democratic ma
tional committeewoman, is the widow
of the late Gen. Greenway, multi-mil-
Honaire copper mine owner. Both are
credited with advancing generous sums
to the Democratic organization.
The general election campaign got
under way during the week with two
Democratic parties starting on State
wide tours. One group is headed by
United States Senator Carl Hayden and
the other by DR.. B. B. Moeur, guberna-
torial nominee. United States Senator
Henry F. Ashurst returned to Phoenix
late in the week and announced he
would stump the State for Roosevelt

Former United States Senator Ralph
H. Cameron, defeated by Hayden in
1925, is attempting a comeback. Cam
eron and Jack G. Kinney, Republican
nominee for Governor, will begin State

DES MONIES, Iowa, October g.
President Hoover made votes for him
self by his address Tuesday in Des
Moines, both by turning wavering Re-
publicans back to him and by firing the
enthusiasm of Republican leaders.
The Democrats remained Democrats.
but Republicans became more enthusi-
aStic about the President. who won
them both by what he said and the
fighting manner in which he said it.
1t commonly was agreed the Presi-
dent had gone far to win those Re
publicans previously none too certain
they would vote for him.
James A. Farley, Democratic ma
tional chairman, and Arthur Mullen
vice chairman of the Democratic Cam
paign Committee, telephoned from New
York to Iowa Democratic headquarters
and offered the pick of the Democratic
stumpers to answer the President.
Iowa headquarters chose former Sem
ator James A. Reed of Missouri, who
was in New York at the time the ofier
was made. Reed will speak here Mon

The quick Democratic rejoinder to the
President by Senator Reed will be
followed with other speeches by Re-

REPUBLICAN LEADERS
TO INVADE NEBRASKA
Pro-Roosevelt Sentiment in State
Is Pictured as Protest
Against Conditions.
BY GEORGE F. FISHER.
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OMAHA, Nebr, October 8.-While
sentiment in Nebraska continues
strongly in favor of Roosevelt, there is
no doubt but the speech made by Presi-
dent Hoover at Des Moines Tuesday has
set the farmers thinking.
Outcome of the election, observers
say will depend on whether voters who
have suffered heavily by the depression,
and many of whom have been consistent
Republicans, will desert that party in
November in face of the warning Presi-
dent Hoover has given.
The Republican organization is bring
ing in a battery of outside speakers of
national standing to talk in the small
communities.
The Democratic organization, still
supremely confident after the Roosevelt
visit, is spreading the view that Hoover's
speech is the utterance of a man fight
ing with his back against the wall.
Democratic speakers say the threat that
If the Democrats win, a worse panic
than has yet been felt will follow, is
idle talk.
Pro-Roosevelt feeling so far Is more
Of a protest against Republican results
than an abiding confidence in the
Democratic candidate himself.
Much will depend on the utterances
of Gov. Roosevelt in later speeches His
reconciliation with former Gov. Smith
has turned the tide here in his favor.
Straw votes indicate Roosevelt
sweep in Nebraska.

w YITH Republicans aroused
to new hope by President
NV Hoover's speech at Des
Moines and Democrats
finding encouragement in
the handclasp Alfred E. Smith gave
Gov. Roosevelt at Albany, this
weeks reports from political cor
respondents of The Star in all Sec
tions indicate that interest has been
heightened in the presidential CAM
paign throughout the country.
In the Western sector the Hoover
speech had an invigorating effect
on Republican campaign workers,
and is squirting them on to greater
activity, especially in States where
the Democrats are counting on the
agricultural situation to strengthen
their chances this year.
Several changes in trends are con-
tanned in the latest dispatches from
widely scattered sections of the
country. Washington State, on the
Pacific Coast, where earlier reports
indicated Roosevelt had a slight ad-
vantage, is reported now as being
in the doubtful column.
A dispatch from Delaware de-
scribes Republican leaders there as
being worried. They are reported to
be Of the belief that If the election
were held now Roosevelt would carry
the State, but they are hoping for a
change before November 8.
Plan Final Phases.
From most of the States, espe-
cially those with large blocks Of
electoral votes, the dispatches this
week deal principally with the plans
of the rival forces for the final
month of vigorous campaigning,
during which time it is expected the
outcome will be more discernible.
In New York-With Al electoral
votes-speculation is rife as to how
the gubernatorial race may affect
the presidential contest, now that
both parties have named their. State
tickets The dispatch from an OBJ
server in the Empire State predicts
the naming of Col. William j. DON
ovan as the Republican nominee for
Governor will strengthen the Hoo
yer candidacy in the State. The
Democratic convention named Lieut..
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman as its can
didate for Governor, with the COM
bined backing of Gov. Roosevelt and
former Gov. Smith.
The dispatch from New York
points out that Col. Donovan is ex-
pected to draw some Irish Catholic
votes from the Democratic nominee,

man will attract some Jewish Re-
publican votes. If the unemploy-

MEMPHIS, Tenn, October 8.-Prob-
ability of q solid Democratic congress
sional delegation from Tennessee, which
went glimmering with the refusal
Tuesday of the Federal Court to void
the redistricting act, has clarified a po-
litical situation which threatened TO
muddy the waters in Tennessee. An
nouncement that an appeal would be
taken appears to disturb neither po-
ltical camp.
Strangely enough, both the Demo-
cratic and the Republican State Cam
paign Committees fought the annul-
nent of the redistricting act. Both
were content to accept the normal dl-
vision of seven Democrats and two Re-
publicans, which Is assured by the re-

nominees out with speeches or state
ments and both Senators Mcclellan and
Hull on the stump. Lewis S. Pope, who
refused to accept the result of the pri-
mary for Governor, is speaking daily

formed.
There are no visible signs of activity

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BURLINGTON, Vt, October 8.-The
most important political event of the
week was the Republican convention,
held at Montpelier Tuesday. Adoption
of a platform, and particularly the
wording of the plank dealing with the
liquor question, provided the most de-
bate.
The platform as finally adopted de-
clares: I'VE favor the submission by
Congress at the earliest possible date Of
a resolution for constitutional conven-
tions of the people in the several States
proposing to repeal or to morify the
eighteenth amendment to the end that
the people of the several States may vote
to adopt or reject any such proposal OF
modification or repeal; and further, we
believe that any such proposal should
vest in each State the sole right to
deal with the problem as it may de-
ternine to the extent OF the powers re-
turned to it. and retain in the Federal
Government its power 10 protect each
State whose laws forbid the sale OF
liquor from interference and invasion
by other States. In accord with Presi-
dent Hoover and as matter OF State
policy, we are opposed to the return OF
the saloon"
The State committee was reelected
and the following presidential electors
were nominated: Harold w. Mason OF
Brattleboro, Hall P. Mccullough OF
Bennington and Clarence Morgan OF

Democratic activity during the next
month is to be directed especially
against United States Senator Porter

ator Dale's attitude on prohibition, but
