CENTERS ON CROSS
States Attorney Alcorn Leads
Vigorous Campaign Against
Governors Reelection.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARTFORD, Conn, October a.
The Connecticut campaign is focusing
almost entirely ON the contest be-
tween Gov. Wilbur L. Cross, Demo-
cratic candidate for reelection, and
States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, the
Republican nominee. Comparatively
little attention is being given to the
contest between United States Sena-
tor Frederic c. Walcott, Republican,
and Representative Francis T. Ma
loney, Democrat, and even less to
the district contests, except in the
first (Hartford) district, where Rep
resentative Herman P. Kopplemann
is being given a strenuous fight by
Col. Anson T. McCook.
The main fight between Cross and
Alcorn is being waged on State issues,
with the liquor r-control act and the
milk-control act prominent. The
Democrats so far do not seem to have
been able to capitalize the New Deal
very effectively, although Maloney
and the candidates for Congress are
all running as Roosevelt men and
there is some effort to win votes for
the State ticket on support Roose-
welt" plea. The Republicans insist
they are all for the Humanitarian"
features Of the New Deal, but are
critical of the Brain Trust and charge
the administration with waste and
extravaganza. A favorite theme is
the amount Connecticut has to pay
for grants to less prosperous States.

BURLINGTON, VT, october IL
Vermont, the rock-ribbed Republican
State which has not sent a Democrat
to Congress or to the Governors chair
since the Civil War, and which was
one of the only two States casting
their electoral vote for President TAFT
in 1912, is just now the scene OF the
hottest political campaign the present
generation has ever witnessed.
A United States Senator, Represent
ative in Congress, complete State and
county tickets, including 80 members
of the State Senate and 248 members
of the State House of Representatives,
will be elected November 6. There Is
no likelihood that the Democratic
nominee for Representative in Con-
gress, Carroll E. Jenkins of Orleans,
will defeat Representative Charles A.
Plumley of Northfield, the Republican
candidate, who is now serving his first
term.
The Republican State ticket, head
ed by the present Lieutenant Cover
nor. Charles M. Smith Of Rutland,
who defeated former Lieut.. Gov. Ben
jamin williams of Proctor for the
nomination for Governor, will be elect
ed. The Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, James P. Leamy, of West Rut-
land, declared in recent speech that
he did not expect to win.

eff Gov. Green had gone out and
found out what was going on, instead
of sitting at the State House, guarded
by six State troopers and afraid to
go home in the dark, there would
have been no trouble" said Gen.
Callan, speaking of the killings in
WoonSocket and Saylesville when
National Guardsmen and police fired
on rioters. The Governor has not
answered Gen. Callan's charges on
this subject.
Senator Hebert, confining himself
almost solely to an analysis of the
New Deal and his own votes in the
Senate, has daily attacked the in
activity of ex-senator Gerry when
that gentleman was serving IA years
in the national House and Senate.
1t is rousing campaign. State
Senator william c. Troy, Demo-
crat, gave the Republicans ammuni-
tion when he referred to small-town
voters as skunk hunters" The small
town voters replied by rallying in
groups for the defeat Of Democratic
candidates to the State Senate, thus
to defeat the Democratic hopes Of
holding a constitutional convention
in which to remold that State docu-
ment in accordance with some long
argued Democratic theories. This is
an important phase Of the campaign
and will have its effect upon the vote
for United States Senator and the
general State officers.

How the Political Tides Are Flowing
Trendsas by The Correspondents.

w YITH the Democrats likely
November 6, interest in the
national phase of the ap-
preaching election centers around the
question of how many House seats the
Republicans will be able to win back
this year, dispatches from The
Stars special political correspondents
throughout the country indicate.
In various sections Of the country,
the reports reveal the G. o. P. has
prospects of recapturing some of the
House seats lost in the Roosevelt tide
two years ago, but there are no signs
at this time that the changes will
be sufficient in number to affect
Democratic control. With the mem
bership Of the House now standing at
308 Democrats, lis Republicans, s
Farrner-Laborites and z vacancies,
the impending election does not seem
likely to do more than narrow some
what the gap between the two major
parties. The upsets that seem prob
able in the House would still leave the
Democrats with a safe majoriyt.
The makeup of the Senate at the
last session was so Democrats, IS
Republicans and l Farmer-Laborite.
State Contests Lively.
In the background of the congress
sional and senatorial campaigns, the
political map Is dotted also with many
lively contests for State offices and
some of these have forged into the
tably the race for the governorship
Of California. In that State Upton
Sinclair, Democratic nominee and
author of the much-discussed E. P.
I. C. program, Is reported to have lost
ground in recent weeks. Accordingly,
the prospects. are brighter for the
election of the Republican, Gov.
Frank Merriam. Another candidate,
Raymond Haight, does not appear to
be in the running, but may draw from
the Merriam vote.
Predictions of Democratic victory in
New York State is another highlight
of the political trends, as they appear
less than 10 days before the balloting.
Gov. Lehman is reported an almost
certain winner to succeed himself
against Robert Moses, Republican, and
the reelection Of the Democratic
Senator Copeland Is described as Q
formality.
The Republicans, however, are con-
centrating on the congressional slate
and may gain from one to three House
seats. In the Seventy-third Congress
New York had l6 Republicans and 40
