SIX PARTIES GET PLACES
ON BALLOT IN MONTANA
State Appears Headed for Demo-
crat Column-Negligib Vote
Seen for Minor GroupA
BY L. NJ. THAYER,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

Special correspondent OF Inc star.
HELENA. Mont, October 1o.-The
deadline for filing found six parties
entitled to appear on the ballot in
Montana in November-Democratic.
Republican. Union. Socialist. COM
munist and Prohibitionist. All have
named presidential electors and the
Unionist has q fairly complete ma.
tional ticket.
The four minor parties are not ex.
pected to poll, in the aggregate, a
substantial vote, nor is there the
least probability that their entrance
will affect the issue between Repub-
licans and Democrats. The State
appears certain to be found in the
Democratic column November 3.
The influence of the Unionist party
is waning. With H. L. Maury Of
Butte refusing to run for Governor.
1t finally has settled on D. j. Ryan
of Great Falls as its nominee.
Democratic chances for the Senate
seat have increased recently. Senator
James E. Murray is a candidate for
reelection. His Republican opponent
is State Senator T. o. Larson of
Choteau. Representative Joe P. Mon.
Afghan is an independent Democratic
candidate. The Democrats probably
will elect the Senator and their can
didates for Congress, j. ]. O'Connell
in the first district and James F.
O'Connor in the second.

BY THOMAS COMPERE,

NEW YORK, N. Y, October To-
The full forces of Democratic and
Republican machines we're marshalled
here this week in an effort to get
New York City voters to register, and
it Is regarded as certain that the
previous high of 2,339,6l7, established
in 1882. will have been exceeded when
the books close late tonight.
Democratic leaders are elated over
the high registration in the city.
which gave President Roosevelt .
plurality Of 871,120 votes four years
ago. Republican campaign managers,
however, are Of the opinion that the
very heavy registration was due in
part to independents opposed to the
New Deal, who previously had not
taken the trouble to vote. They also
predicted decided gains in upstate
registration. which will not be COM
pleted until the end of next week,
in that Republican stronghold.
OF major importance in the cleo
ton in this State, however, is the
apparent fact that Tammany leaders
at last have determined unequivocally
to fight for the reelection Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Gov. Herbert H.
Lehman. Though there Is friction in
spots, and many Of the leaders do
not personally approve of some New
Deal policies or the patronage dis
pensation of James A. Farley, State
and national Democratic chairman,
the Democratic machine in this city
unquestionably still Is capable of run
ming up tremendous pluralities for
the President and Gov. Lehman.
G. o. p. Needs 500. 200 Plurality.
This means the Republicans must
come down to the Bronx line with at
least a 100000 plurality If they re-
main in the running for New York's
Al electoral votes. The Republican
leaders appear confident, however,
that they will take upstate and
Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long
Island by more than 100000. while
the Democrats now are claiming q
plurality Of approximately the same
figure in the city. Although the
position of the Democrats has I'm
proved recently, it remains a nip and
tuck race.
The general attitude taken by Demo-
cratic leaders here is that former
Gov. Alfred z. Smiths pro-Landon
campaign will not have much effect

WILMINGTON, Del. October 10
The Democratic organization. which
has lain dormant since the convention
when the candidates were named. held
its first big meeting Of the campaign
tonight at Georgetown.
Another rally will be held in the
Dover Opera House October %, when
the principal speaker will be either
Senator Joe Robinson or Senator Pat

The campaign will be brought to q
close with a rally in Milford, Satur-
day night. October 81. This viii be
held under the joint auspices Of the
Kent and Sussex County committees.

either way In this State. They con-
tend that those who would follow him
from the Democratic ranks already
had taken their walk. They also are
of the opinion that Mr.. Smiths
initial speech for Landon here was
far below the former Governors usual
standard.
Some Of the Tammany organiza-
tions even have gone so far as to
remove the pictures of Mr.. Smith
from their club houses, and more than
one Of the old line leaders have been
outspoken IN their criticism of his
open opposition to the President.
Former Mayor James j. Walker. who
resigned while . hearing Of charges
against him was being held before
the then Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
came out sharply against Mr.. Smith
at a recent meeting attended by major
Tammany leaders. These leaders ap-
plauded the attack on Mr.. Smith with
enthusiasm.
Bieakley Campaign Active.
Justice William F. Bleakley has
been carrying on very active cam
paign since he was nominated for the
governorship by the Republicans. In
speech after speech he has denounced
political aspects of relief as admin
istered by both State and Federal ad-
ministrations. He charged In his first
radio speech Of the campaign that the
present administration of relief ''is
100 per cent political in character" !"
He said the Republicans favored work
relief as against the dole. but that the
party would not tolerate "the waste,
the extravaganza and the high ad-
ministrative costs and the politics.
in which it has become SO involved" !"
Some friction in the Republican
State machine was apparent shortly
after Justice Bleakley's nomination,
but it is believed to have been
smoothed out. Upstate leaders. who
supported State Senator George r.
Fearon Of Syracuse in his losing fight
for the nomination, are said to have
lined up solidly behind Justice Bleak
ley.
Gov. Lehman's formal campaign
for reelection got under way Tuesday
night in this city. when he was
notified oficially Of his denomination.
In his speech Of acceptance, he made
It clear that he would stand squarely
on his record as progressive and a
supporter OF President Roosevelts s

NEVADA DEMOCRAT.
WORK INTENSIFIED
Republicans Are Confident
of Swinging State to
Land0n Column.
BY EDGAR REINHART

RENO. New, October 10-Intensive
Democratic precinct work marked the
week in Nevada, while the Republican
campaign was confined to two or three
radio talks over the Reno station.
Republican leaders are confident Of
cutting down the Roosevelt margin Of
four years ago so far as to carry the
state for Landon, but many OF the
rank and file appear disappointed 50
far. "
One complaint is that radio speeches
do not reach every community in
Nevada. Replies have been received
from as far east as Chicago and North
Dakota, but radio owners between here
and Carson City. which Is only 80
miles distant. say they do not get
KOH, while Carson City gets it plainly.
In order to assure reaching Las Vegas.
Elko and Ely. it is likely one or two
broadcasts will be made from Los
Angeles and Salt Lake City.
The Democratic campaign is being
managed by youth in Nevada this
year. Many old line Democrats are
out Of the campaign entirely.
The effect of the alignment OF Al
Smith with Landon is not thought to
be such as it will affect many votes
in this state.
Young Democrat clubs are being
organized throughout the state.
The congressional campaign has
settled down to a personal canvass. and
candidates are trying to meet person.
ally every voter of the State. Repre-
sentative James G. Scrugham, Demo-
crat; Ed C. Peterson, Republican, and
Harry H. Austin, Independent with
Townsend club indorsee, are making
this kind of race.
Nationally known speakers are ex-
pected to invade Nevada this week,
the first being Senator Henry Ashurst
of Arizona, in behalf Of Roosevelt.
