HARTFORD, Conn, September "a
-Connecticuts much publicized third
party, the Independent Republican, has
been launched with lack-luster State
convention that nominated Milton
Conover, an instructor in American
government at Yale. for United States
Senator. Albert Levitt, the leader Of
the party, a major purpose OF which
is to encompass the defeat of Senator
Hiram Bingham because OF his anti
prohibition stand. was nominated for
Governor.
The independents are supporting the
Republican national ticket and named
the regular Republican presidential
electors on their ticket, despite the facV
that these electors have all notified the
Secretary of the State that they will
not permit the use of their names on
the independent ticket.
T. A. D. Jones, former Yale foot ball
coach, has been nominated by the Re
publicans in the third district for the
seat in Congress held by John G.
Tilson, who Is not a candidate this
year. Jones will be opposed by Mayor

was a candidate for the senatorial
nomination, but withdrew in favor of

OHIO SEEN TURNING

Roosevelt and Buckley Be-

BY ]. H. GALBRAITH.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, September "a
Though the trend in Ohio is decisively
in favor of Gov. Roosevelt. mixed
result Is indicated now. The same
political gauges that show Roosevelt
running far out in front place show
David S. ingalls,. Republican candidate
for Governor, still further out in the
lead of Gov George White, Democratic
candidate for reelection.
Apparently Gov. White made tacti-
cal mistake when he decided at the
opening of his campaign to abandon
his long-held dry position and stand
for revision of the prohibition amend
ment.
That brought him no support from
the wet Democrats, and the dry DEM
ocrats seem to be drifting largely to
the support Of the prohibition candi-
date. So it would seem that Gov.
White threw away an excellent chance
to ride into a second term as Governor
on the coattails of Gov. Roosevelt. who
is surely to win the electoral vote OF
this State unless something radical
occurs between now and election day.
Bettman Turned Wet.
Attorney General Gilbert Bettman
anu dpPCdlo " IidNC q
similar mistake in his race for the
Senate by taking a position on prohi-
bition far more wet than the Republic
can national platform. The majority
of the Republicans of this State are
dry, and the attorney general would
probably have Jared better if he had
merely stood on the party platform.
He went even further in denouncing
prohibition than his Democratic oppo-
nent, Senator Robert J. Buckley. Sen
ator Buckley naturally went the limit,
having been once elected on that issue
over Senator r. j. McCullock, a dry.
Senator Buckley secured large sup
port when he ran the first time from
wet Republicans. There is very con-
siderable element of the dry Republic
ans who are deserving Mr.. Bettman to
support the Prohibitionist candidate.
From Large Cities.
These indications come from the
large cities, and the results may be
altered somewhat by later expressions
from the rural districts, but they are
so pronounced now they can hardly be
eliminated.
The most reliable straw votes taken
in the State indicate that Gov. Roose-
welt will receive about 60 per cent OF
the vote of the State. Assuming the
total vote to be about 100000 that
would indicate for the Roosevelt ticket
q plurality of about 100000 in Ohio.

departed for the East, the show was
continuous.

After the conference, it was agreed
that Roosevelt did more listening than

that the Democratic candidate dis

Following close on Roosevelt's heels,
Mayor James M. Curley Of Boston came

Josephus Daniels came to Utah from

he spoke was held at Provo, then an

during the week with their organiza-

they have had no outside speakers and
no outstanding events in Utah during
the week. evidently waiting to hear the

clear away before starting a counter

Headquarters Of both parties are
decidedly active and each side makes
many and extreme claims. but the
trend, generally here in Utah. seems
to be toward Roosevelt. He made a
remarkable impression in this State and
IL will take much on the part OF the
Republicans to counteract it.
