COUGHL|N RULES
BAY STATE SWING
Radio Priest Pledges $1,000
to Vote for Lemke
and O'Brien.
BY w. E. MULLINS,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

Special correspondent Oh ne SLdI.
BOSTON, October 17.-Political
observers in Massachusetts, are in
general agreement that the influence
exercised by Rev. Charles E. Cough
lin on his Bay State followers prob
ably will determine the outcome OF
the vote for presidential electors here.
At a mass meeting here last Mon
day in the interests of the candidates
supported by the National Union for
Social Justice Father Coughlin was
given a tumultuous reception by 27,-
900, who paid admission to hear him
speak at local base ball park.
He exacted a public pledge from
them to vote for Representative Will
liam Lemke and Thomas c. O'Brien
for President and Vice President and
to support O'Brien for United States
Senator against Gov. Curley, who for
merly was on terms of intimate
friendship with the radio priest.
Support Won for O'Brien.
Father Coughlin definitely brought
votes to O'Brien, although it is con-
ceded that he has no chance, and
that Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., the Re
publican nominee, is the favorite.
There is some question as to the dam
age he did President Roosevelt's cause
here.
The President will come into Mas
sachusetts next Wednesday for full
day of campaigning. He will speak
on Boston Common in the afternoon
and in Worcester at night. He has
abandoned previous plans for a two
day visit to the State and will leave
for Connecticut Immediately after
his Worcester speech.
The paths of Cardinal Pacelli and
Father Coughlin nearly crossed in
Boston on Tuesday, but the radio
priest hurriedly left the city early
in the evening. and the two church.
men failed to meet.
Largely through industrious mis-
sionary work accomplished here by
James Roosevelt, the Presidents eld-
est son, the Presidents chances have
improved here during the past two
weeks, but Gov. Landon continues
the favorite to carry the State.
Aid Withdrawn from Connery.
Father Coughlin created a local
sensation when he withdrew the sup
port of his organization from Rep
resentative William P. Connery, jr.,
of Lynn, who voted for the Frazier
Lemke bill. ,Connery was denied the
support of the Social Justice units
because he insisted upon giving a
public Endorsement to President
Roosevelt.
Father Coughlin announced his
units would support Representative
Joseph E. Casey, John P. Higgins and
Arthur D. Healey, Democratic candi-
dates for reelection. 1t was assumed
that all three had agreed to refuse
public support to the President be-
cause of the abandonment of Con-
merry for supporting the President.
The three Representatives have re-
mained silent, having accepted Father
Coughlin's Endorsement.

ROOSEVELT INCREASES

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, October IL
President Roosevelt Is increasing his
margin in Alabama as the campaign
moves into its homeStretch.
In the early stages Of the campaign
there was some vocal opposition TO
the President, especially in that group
naturally sympathetic to the Liberty
League. An Alabama lawyer. Borden
Burr of Birmingham, it should be re-

Liberty League dinner in Washington
in which AL Smith made his threat 10

is concerned, have been steadily with.

SENATOR THOMAS HELPS
UTAH DEMOCRAT TICKET
Sentiment Shifting to Governor
Blood-Roosevelt Lead Con.
tinues Wide.
BY FRANK p. STEWART

opcCldl correspondent OF Inc star.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, October
Elbert D. Thomas, junior
United States Senator from Utah,
stands out as the hardest worker in
the State campaign. Coming here to
help re-elect the State Democratic
ticket, he has covered most of the
State on speaking tours. Aside from
this, he is helping Democratic NOM
inees for the Senate in all Western
States, mostly by mail. Furthermore,
he takes time to study pending legis-
lation in Washington and is looking
forward to the enactment Of impor-
tant laws by Congress early next year.
Much credit for improvement Of
Democratic chances on the State
ticket undoubtedly is due Senator
Thomas. AS a result of his efforts
sentiment is gradually changing to
Gov. Blood from the Republican NOM
inee, Ray Dillman, and the independ-
ent, Mayor Harmon Peery Of Ogden.
President Roosevelt continues the
popular candidate in Utah, leading
Landon by more than two to one.

DELAWARE G. O. P. SPLIT
EFFECT SCARCELY SEEN
Insurgent Republicans Fail to

Party Is Confident.
nv ruApICS cpAv
BY CHARLES E. GRAY,

Special Correspondent of The Star.
WILMINGTON, Del, October IT.
Democratic leaders are not conducting
the campaign of other presidential
years. When the Independent Repub-
lican party was organized they
thought the State was lost by Re
publicans. At first it appeared the
split would lead to a Democratic VIC
tory. However, the third party has
failed to gather the following ex-
pected. The Republicans are con-
fident of victory and from appear
ances have cause for optimism.
In the first place, the State is nor
mally Republican and there are no
indications that any former voters,
not even the insurgents, will switch
to the support of President Roose-
velt.
The economic administration OF
Gov. C. D. Buck has been a big help
to the Republicans.

BURLINGTON, VT, October IL
Edwin B. Meekins of Brattleboro, with
the Townsend old-age plan as his
platform, has withdrawn his candi-
dacy for Congress as an independent
at the November election. In doing
so he reveals the Townsendites are
flirting with the Democratic nominee,
John B. Candon of Pittsford, in the
hope that the latter will announce
himself in their favor. Mr.. Candon
has not yet done so.
There was some doubt whether the
Communist party's certificate Of NOM
nations bore the required number Of
legal voters, but Communist candi-
dates are assured place on the
State election ballots along with the
candidates Of the Republican and
Democratic parties.

COLUMBIA, s. c., october 17.-An
overwhelming majority of South
Carolinians have deep affection for
President Roosevelt, and they feel
almost that he was sent Of God to
relieve their difficulties. This feeling
is shared by whites and Negroes alike.
But South Carolina is not unani-
NOUS in wishing the reelection OF
President Roosevelt. There are prob
ably 40 1000 to 1000 among the 100000
white voters in the State who would
be pleased by the election OF Gov.
Landon.
This disaffection from Roosevelt
may not strengthen the Republican
party In this State appreciably, but
may cause many thousands Of Demo-
cratic voters to leave the party later
and 60 bodily into the Republican
party II 1t should remain the con-
servative party Of the country. X

developments in Chicago pointed to-

between Senator Borah and Colonel

A prospect of Borah invading the

Knox, intrigued politicians and stir
