ROBINSON DEFEAT
SEEN IN Indiana
MCNutt Favorite Due to Win
Senate Seat-Watson
Is Silent.
BY HAROLD C. FLIGHTNER.

BY HAROLD C. FLIGHTNER.
By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November 3.
Unless all the usual signs, such as
agreement Of political observers, polls
and organization activity fail Indiana
voters next Tuesday will retire Ar
thur r. Robinson from the United
States Senate by electing his Demo-
cratic opponent, Sherman Minton.
Robinson, never popular with the
Republican organization, has cone
Quoted more or less an individual
campaign this Fall which has inten-
sified the breach between him and
the party leaders. On the other hand
Minton, young New Albany attorney
and prominent American Legionnaire,
has had the full-hearted support Of
Gov. Paul v. McNutt's far-reachirg
Democratic organization.
Estimates Of the predicted Demo-
cratic majority range from $4,000 to
100, 900 and include a sweep not only
for Minton, but the entire Democratic
State ticket. That would mean that
McNutt, with two more years to serve,
would have a friendly administration
and a loyal Legislature.
Reelection Predicted.
Some enthusiastic Democrats are
figuring on majority that may reach
as high as 10000. The predictions
are general that at least 10 Of the IL
incumbent Democratic Representatives
will be reelected. The Republicans
are putting up hard battle to elect
Frederick Lands, former Representa-
tive in the second district, where
George r. Durgin is his Democratic
opponent. They likewise are hoping
to elect Charles Murray over Finley
Grey in the tenth district.
The Republicans became inspired at
the last moment when a deputy at
torney general began an investigation
Of the escape of John Dillinger from
the Crown Point Jail last Spring.
While the Republicans were pointing
fingers of scorn at McNutt, however,
two men were placed under arrest,
confessions were obtained and the De-
partment Of Justice stepped in. The
general belief was that the Governor,
against whom most of the G. o. P.
darts have been aimed, had pulled
himself out of hole.
Democrats Confident.
Popular faith in President Roosevelt,
accretion Of farm support to the
Democrats, plus the McNutt organiza-
ton, has made the Democrats con-
fident. On top Of that the Repub-
licans, bereft of money and with di-
vided counsels, have conducted a
rather aimless campaign. Robinson
has spent the last weeks of his cam
paign In criticizing McNutt, saying
little against Roosevelt and the New
Deal. Minton, on the other hand,
has based his campaign almost en-
tirely on upholding the President ana
in explaining the various aspects Of
the washington regime to the voters.
James E. Watson, retired two years
ago by Senator Van Nuys, is back in
his native State to vote. He took
part in one rally, but steadfastly re-
fused to take the stump for Robinson,
his former colleague, on the plea Of i'll
health. The Watson elements of the
organization do not disguise the fact
that they will be pleased if Robinson
is defeated

NEW DEAL HOLDS
VOTERS IN IOWA
''Vote the Roosevelt Ticket"
Is Campaign Slogan
for Tuesday.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DES MONIES, Iowa, November 3.
Iowa is all set to go for Roosevelt
for the second consecutive time Tues
day.
It matters little that the President
is not running for Office this year.
The result of the Presidents appar-
ent popularity is that Iowa's Demo-
Gratis in general have staked their
chances to retain control of State and
congressional offices on his name.
Until the last few weeks Iowa
Democratic candidates have urged
their election as a means of further
ing the New Deal. Now the original
impersonal slogan, Hold on to the
New DEAL has changed to Vote the
Roosevelt Ticket"
Biermann Against A. A. A.
Only in the fourth congressional
district is this complete dependence
on the President not in evidence.
Representative Fred Biermann has de-
clined to climb out on limb with
Roosevelt, for the reason that he is
Zoe OF Cne "A. A. "A.
In fact Republicans with a sense
Of humor are getting almost their
only consolation from the fourth dis
trict campaign. There they see the
spectacle of G. A. Benson, Republican
candidate for Congress, attacked be-
cause he has co-operated in the corn
hog reduction campaign, while Bier
mann stoutly condemns the entire
affair as nefarious.
In the face of almost certain de-
feat, Republicans have continued
fighting bitterly. There are evidences,
they claim, Of q swing away from the
Democrats and they cite increasingly
larger attendance at Republican
rallies.
Fights Tammany Influence.
Dan Turner, Republican candidate
for Governor, has pounded for the
last week and more on the single
theme of an underworld financed
Tammany Democracy In Iowa, max
ing serious charges against the ad-
ministratfon of Clyde L. Herring.
Turner's charges have been lurid,
tales of vice in night clubs which
have sprung up since beer and repeal,
pathetic tales of the running OF young
girls by liquor and drunken men.
Stoutest defense Is being made by
the Republicans in the sixth district,
most populous in the State, Of which
Des Moines is the largest city.
In this district G. G. Dowell, dean
of the House of Representatives, is
facing a bitter battle from Hubert
Utterback, strong Democratic vote
eetter. Both Dowell and Utterback
live In Des Moines, as does Gov. Her
ring. Five candidates for lesser State
offices, two Democrats and three Re-
publicans, also 1--we In the distrtct

OMAHA, Nebr., November 3.-Ne-
braska probably will go strongly
Democratic next Tuesday.
In spite of a bitter campaign by
former Representative Robert G. Sim
mons, Republican candidate for United
States Senator, all signs point to elec-
ton of Edward r. Burke, Democrat
present representative from the second
Nebraska district.
Indications point to as heavy a vote
as has ever been cast. The primary
total in the State reached 458,000. A
vote of almost 100000 is anticipated
Tuesday. With such a total two
years ago President Roosevelt had a
majority of 167 1000.

corn-hog program gave less than 1000
majority in their recent vote for the
A. A. A. program, this is not held rep
resentative of a sharp feeling of dis
satisfaction in their ranks with Demo-
cratic doctrines generally. 1t might
indicate higher percentage of Re-
publican votes than Democrats antici-
pate. Political observers seem to agree
that the feeling the administration
has at least tried its best to do some
thing for the farmers will outweigh
arguments for non-interference in
business that have featured the Re-
publican campaign.
Election of Burke by a majority
from $4,000 votes or more seems in
dicated.
The fact that Nebraska has OBJ
tanned more public projects and other
recognition in appropriations than
ever before in its history weighs
heavily In favor Of the Democrats.

Missouri River development and

Even at this, there may be one slip
and possibly two in the delegation to
the House. In the five districts the
Democrats are rated safe in the sec
ond, fourth and fifth districts. A
Democrat is probable in the first,
though M. l.. Poteet, prominent
Legionnaire, Is crowding Henry
Lucky, Democratic nominee.
Due to q recent illness Representa-
tive Edgar Howard Of the third dis
trict, Democrat, has been unable to
make as energetic a campaign as
usual. Karl Stafan, vigorous young
Republican, has been crowding him.
The House delegation probably viii

there he could find nothing tangible

Foley, working at full speed with his

arrangements for trying Hauptmann

.|CKES ASKS NEW
LIBERTY CONCEPT
Proposes League for Eman-
cipation of Poor From
SIum Districts.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, September 29.-secre-
tary Ickes here today challenged those
"who are bewailing the loss Of lib
erty'" to join "us in the organization
of q liberty league for the clearance
Of slums."
The Interior Secretary, in his Ca
pacity as public works administrator
flung this challenge here after firing
charges Of dynamite which actually
started the Government on q program
of city slum clearance.
He fired his appeal for liberty for
the underprivileged with a declaration
that II commend to those gentlemen
Of wealth and power, who, with their
tongues In their cheeks. are bewailing
the loss of liberty in the United
States, that they join with US in the
organization Of liberty league for
the clearance Of slums."
1T is not enough" he added. "to
crusade for liberty for the captain
Of industry. the banker and the null
timillionaire. These gentlemen after
all have little to complain of. Let Us
instead enlist under the banner Of
President Roosevelt, fight for liberty
for the underprivileged. for the liberty
Of men. women and children to have
homes in the neighborhoods where
they can at least have light and
sweet air where they will not be
forced to rub elbows daily with vice
and corruption"
"Slums were the inevitable and
universal by-product Of q laissez faire
social order. It was an accepted part
Of that America in which the strong
had all the liberty they wanted to ex-
plot the weak. Slums will have no
place IN the newer and finer social
order that We are evolving"
The slum projects were dynamited
personally by the Secretary in . busy
day in Atlanta. He first visited Spell
man College of the Atlanta University
colored institution. and explained
to a gathering Of more than 1000 the
Federal housing program. A moment
later he touched of q charge that
dynamited . colored slum district
nearby.
Hurrying to Georgia Tech. where
he made the radio address, he dyna-
mited a nearby white slum district.
In his address at Tech, Ickes cut
lined the ebjectives Of slum clearance
and assured his audience that the
Government does not intend to al
low the spoilsmen to make anything
out Of these projects"

viewpoint Of low values. At least two
store owners, they said, demanded as
much as $25 900 each for their prop
erty.
The Housing Division spent several
months in actual negotiations with
owners In the section. Although the
average assessed valuation for this
area is around SLIT per square foot,
and appraisers set an estimated valu-
alton of $1.27 per square foot, P. W.
contracts that could be negotiated av-
eraged $3.50 per square foot. Origi-
nal sponsors of the project had
claimed the area could be purchased
for 80 cents per square foot or less,
1t was explained.
Commenting on the decision to
withdraw from the site. Ickes declared
that the dropping of this project,
under the circumstances. was inevita-
BILE and indicated that other cities and
other areas might expect similar ac-
tion where high-priced land made
low-coSt housing impossible.
We have engaged on q program to
establish a number OF low-cost hous-
ing and slum clearance projects in a
number of cities" he said. When we
say 'low-cost' it means exactly that.
We can never by an legerdemain or
juggling produce housing at moderate
rentals on land that is expensive to
begin with.
IF. upon investigation Of q pro-
posed site, We find that justifiably or
otherwise, property is too high-priced
for our purpose. or If it is running
above ordinary measurements of value
such as fair appraisement and as
sessed valuation, We cannot accept
such a site, and must go elsewhere
That has applied and continues to
apply to any city, not alone Wash
ington."
The P. w. A. low-cost housing prof.
ects in Washington, it was explained,
are not to be confused with q move
ment to demolish alley dwellings. This
program is to be started under q
$500, 900 appropriation and President
Roosevelt is expected soon to name
the committee to supervise it.
Commissioner George E. Allen, in
conjunction with the F. E. r. A, also
has a low-cost housing project for
persons on relief rolls which is entirely
independent of Ickes' project. This
latter plan, combining subsistence
gardening, is in the process Of formu-
lation.

when they revamped their national
organization. They thought seriously
of picking a Western man as their
new national chairman. They even
went so far as to sound out the ener-
getic and youthful Senator Gerald P.
Nye Of North Dakota, and he was
called to ask what he would do il he
were named chairman of the G. o. P.

candidate for the job, but that if he
were elected chairman he would still
feel free to campaign for Bob La
Toilette in Wisconsin. for Henrik
Shipstead. Farmer-Labor Senator, in
Minnesota, and for any progressive
Democrats, he favored. The talk OF
Nye went no further. In the end the
Republicans named Mr.. Fletcher. who
had followed Theodore Roosevelt in
Bull Moose days, but had been in the
diplomatic service almost ever since.
The Republicans insist, under Mr..
Fletcher's lead, that they are pro-

however, that so far the dominant

day, and should the Giants win, the
first tie in major league history would

And the Giants still would be a

This situation has come about as
the result not only of a remarka BILE

who enjoyed seven-game lead on
September 6, when the Cards had just
passed the Chicago Cubs to take sec
ond place, but of an equally remark
able squirt by the st. Louis club.
Won FL Out OF 20 Games.
Since they tied the Cubs for second
place early this month, the Cardinals
have won 81 out of 28 games. and
they were going at just 81 East clip
for some time before that. The
Giants, who forged to the front for a

ing the lead for brief period earlier
In the season, weren't even threatened
until the crack-up began in the last
couple of weeks. In a rather sad
home stand against the Western clubs
they managed to win eight games
against seven losses only because they
could beat the Reds regularly.
Today's loss was their fourth in a

have suffered that fate and their fifth

Outstanding among the reasons for
the Cardinal rise was the pitching of
the Dean brothers-Dizzy, who won
his twenty-ninth victory yesterday,
and his rookie" brother, who was to-
days victor. Since Labor day the
elder brother has won six games and
the younger five. including two over
the Giants, and their total of 48 VIC
tories for the season has been more
than enough to spell the difference
between a pennant winner and q
second division club.
