Sentiment in State Reported Still
Strongly in Favor of
Roosevelt.
BY GEORGE F. FISHER.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
OMAHA, Nebr., October 15-Secre-
tary of War Hurley for the Republicans
and Senator Thomas j. Walsh for the
Democrats will be brought to Nebraska
for campaign talks. The State Repub-
lican Committee has induced Senator
Robert B. Howell to make few Hoover
talks. Howell late this week consented
to do SO, after first announcing that he
feared his time would be fully occupied.
Seven former Governors, four Repub-
lican and three Democratic, are busily
Stumping the State. Both sides are or
ganiZing womens clubs in precincts.
Democrats lack funds. The local Re-
publican purse is not bulging, but the
National Committee is sending in three
outside Republican speakers to each one
the Democratic organization provides.
Sentiment continues strongly to favor
the Democrats.

c. O.P. CLAIMS GAIN
IN WEST VIRGINIA
Party Workers Assume New
Attitude in Effort to
Swing State.
BY ROBERT n. HORNER.


CHARLESTON. W. Va, october 15.-
West Virginia Republicans now are en-
gagged in straining every resource Of the
party organization, in a campaign for q
change which they hope may hold the
State to their column in the November
election.
Within the last 10 days party workers
have assumed a different attitude and
are forecasting an eleventh hour victory
for President Hoover in the State,
whereas before they privately expressed
only doubt. More optimistic statements
are being made by campaigners on the
State ticket than have been made at
any time previously during the present
campaign.
Democrats Confident.
cheerful and confident. They are reply
ing to Republican claims by saying
things have gone too far in their direc-
ton to bring about a material change.
Robert G.. Kelly Of Charleston, con-
tinues to hold to his claim that Gov.
Roosevelt will carry the State by q
majority OF at least $4,000.
At its meeting in Wheeling In Septen-
Der, the West Virginia State Federation
of Labor did an unprecedented thing by
adopting a resolution endorsing T. c.
Townsend, the Republican candidate for
Governor. The resolution was silent as
to President Hoover. Soon after the
State federation adjourned its meet
ing, labor groups throughout the State
began to charge that the State organi-
zation,s convention was packed" with
illegal delegates, including IS coal
miners and, as result, several local
organizations, including the Central
Labor Union, at Charleston, withdrew.
Intensive Labor Drive.
The Democratic organization took ad-
vantage Of the disputes among the labor
bodies and gave publicity to the with
drawals and protests. As q result. the
Democrats have lined up dozen OF the
best known labor leaders in the State
to campaign for Roosevelt and H. g.
Kump, their candidate for Governor.
An intensive speaking campaign by
these leaders. arranged at State head
quarters in Charleston. will begin next
week and continue until the close OF the
campaign.
It is estimated that rs per cent OF the
West Virginia coal operators are Re
publicans and, it is said, a majority
Of them will vote for President hoover
but their usual activity in general cleo
ton campaigns has been missing TINS
year.

TALK FAILS
TO CAPTURE IOWA
MissourIan's Speech Leaves
Both Parties In State
Feeling Good.
BY C. @. CLIFTON.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
DES MONIES, Iowa, October 15.-
President Hoover's stock continued to 70
up in Iowa after former Senator James
A. Reed Of Missouri, delivered his siz-
cling assault upon the administration
Moines speech.
The Democrats were not agreed be-
fore Reed spoke that the Missourian
was the best mouthpiece to combat the
gains made by the Presidents personal
appeal to the Middle West.
Protest Vote Considered.
Reeds intensely partisan speech
popped up the Democrats but angered
the Republicans. It contained no praise
Of Gov. Roosevelt until the concluding
sentences, and little of direct answer
to the Presidents address.
The closing weeks Of the campaign
IN Iowa disclose 1t As settling into .
contest. between the Republican organi-
zatton on the one hand and the com.
bined Democratic and protest vote On
the other. There is little pro- Roosevelt
sentiment In Iowa, and It Is conceded
privately by Democrats that their night
Is to hold the protest vote.
The presidential contest, waged al
most entirely on economic issues, has
overshadowed the senatorial and gov
ernorship races. The senatorial race
between Henry Field, Republican who
defeated Senator Smith w. Brookhart
in June. and Louis Murphy, Democratic
candidate, is affected by the prohibi-
ton issue, although neither is stressing
his views.
Wet Against DRY.
Field Is Methodist and dry: Murphy
Is Catholic and wet. Brookhart, who
Is running independently - the sole
candidate Of q newborn Progressive
party, will not divide the dry vote. II
will 60 to Field, because the drys ere
too smart to enhance the wet Murphy's
chances, and 1t will 20 to Hoover, not
enthusiastically, but as the safer candi-
date over Roosevelt.
Democrats have changed their minds
about Brookhart's candidacy. Several
months ago they did everything they
could to induce him to run. Recently.
they dropped these urgings. for they
began to realize that BrookhArt's old
standbys. in q contest between Field
and Murphy, would not vote for Field.
All Of them. Brookhart holds, will b
Murphy's loss.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBIA, s. c., October l5.-The
Republican party In South Carolina Is
seeking to have only one ticket, con-
tanning the names Of both Democratic
and Republican candidates, to Be dis
played at the polls. The party contends
that to do otherwise would be . viola
ton Of the National and State Consti-
tutionS, as 1t would not make for the
secrecy Of the ballot
The State Supreme Court has taken
the case under advisement It was intt-
mated the Republicans would appeal to
the United States Supreme Court II they
lose the decision.
Miss Clara Harrigal, the Republican
nominee for United States Senator, is
demanding that Senator Ellison D.
Smith make known his stand en- the

R00SEVE[TLETTER
ON SUGAR IS ISSUE
Statement of Tariff Given
Circulation in Beet Sec.
ton of Colorado.
BY MAX HILL.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


DENVER, Colo, October 15.-Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt's stand on the tariff on
Cuban sugar, vital to sugar beet produc-
ers in Western States, may have an i'm
portant bearing on the outcome Of the
November election In the Rocky Noun
tain West.
Almost every Western State has vast
acreages planted to sugar beets. now
protected by 2-cents- perl pound tariff
on Cuban sugar Thousands Of farmers
took . new interest in the presiden-
tial campaign after publication Of a
letter signed by Roosevelt in which Re
publican leaders say he admitted he pre-
ferred 20 per cent ad valorem duty to
the present 2-cent tariff.
May Prove Costly.
Republican managers are attempting
to make the most Of the controversy
and Immediately sent their top cam
paigners into the sugar-producing Sec
tions Of the State.
Republicans long have maintained
control of Western States such as Utah
and Colorado through their protective
tariff stand and G.. o. P. leaders here
say that unless Roosevelt can give sat-
isfactory reasons as to why he signed
the letter published in Havana his cause
in sugar beet producing regions will be
hurt materially.
However. Colorado, normally Q Re-
publican State in presidential elections,
apparently is leaning toward the Demo-
cratic ticket this year, in common with
other Western States
This, in part, explains the scheduled
speeches Of nationally known Repub-
licans in Colorado cities next week.
These speeches will mark the high
point of the Republican campaign in
the State, with Vice President Curtis
and Secretary Of War Hurley taking
leading parts.
Candidates Take Stump.
Karl c. Schuyler, Republican candi-
date for the United States Senate, and
Alva B. Adams, the Democratic nomi-
nee, were stumping the State this
week. Schuyler speaking in the eastern
and northern sugar beet sections. and
Adams in the southwestern and west
ern regions.
Among the leading Democratic cam
paigners who will be in Colorado short
ly to urge the election Of Roosevelt. are
Senators Pat Harrison and Thomas J..
Walsh. There is . possibility that
Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, former Gov
ernor Of Wyoming. will come to the
State for series Of speeches. Senator
Walsh will speak in Denver October 28.
While not under Democratic auspices,
Senator George w. Norris of Nebraska
will speak here for Roosevelt on Oc-
tober 26. An attempt IS being made
to arrange for speeches at Sterling,
Greeley and Fort Collins.
Vice President Curtis address here
will be on the night of october 49,
Hurley will speak in Pueblo on Oc-

order whipped out his revolver and drilled a hole

police headquarters Stephens ordered back to his
beat.
In Philadelphia. Municipal Judge William M.
Lewis. confronted with similar problem, announced
IT will not sentence man to jail if it is proved that
he has stolen to feed his family. shall put him
probation"
In Nashville, capital punishment without trial, for
the attempted theft of bottle of milk; in Phia-
delphia not even Jail sen',nce for theft of food
On the hand, police brutality and anarchy in the
name of law; the other, justice tempered with
mercy and wisdom.

Senator Borah's great plea for American cooper
alton in world economic conference to restore pros
perity has the politicians bowling. 1t can't be
done, they say. 1t shouldn't be done-America must
stand alone, others add.
Protests range from Smoot the tariff high priest
and Senate Leader Watson on the Republican SIDE
to Harrison, Connally, and House Leader Rainey on
the Democratic side. White House aids repeat that
the administration will not discuss war debt revision
and the state department joins in the obstruction
But, in the end economic forces will prove stronger
than political maneuvering. The same hard facts
that converted Senator Borah from an isolationist
will in time move the more timorous politicians
Even they will that is to the selfish interest
of the United States to cancel debts in exchange for
disarmament and to hasten joint tariff reduction
There be sound business revival in this coun-
try or any other until these barriers are blasted.
Senator Borahs proposal for conditional debt
cancellation, part of general settlement OF world
economic problems. is not new. We and others have
been urging it for long time.
But never has the issue been stated so clearly. SO
forcefuy, by Senator Borah in his broadcast last
Saturday
While the short-sighted waited for the Lausanne
cancellation OF reparatons to produce prosperity
