NEW DEAL ISSUE IN BATTLE FOR AZ NEW YORK VOTES
Democrats Unlin,ber Big Guns
For Norris Driue IN Nebraska
Secretary and La Toilette Are Among
Squadron of Noted Speakers Aiding
Senate Veterans Reelection.

When Senator Norris came West
he had made tentative commitments
to speak for Roosevelt In West Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania and Kansas. It
Is understood these have been can
celed and he will devote his entire
attention to his home State, where
the three -cornered fight between him
self, Terry Carpenter, Democrat, re-
pudiated by his party organization,
and Robert G. Simmons, Republican,
for the senatorship. will give him
plenty to do.
Carpenter Is likely to be forgotten
as a possible winner in the struggle
for votes, but he still holds a strategic
balance of power that admittedly wor-
ries the Norris managers. With Gov.
LAndon making so strong bid for
Nebraska's seven electoral votes, Sim
mons may gain enough strength to
nose in.
In his talks so far. which have been
in the main at locations where irriga-
ton or power projects organized
through P. w. A. funds have been
started, Senator Norris has devoted
his attention in the main to arraign-
ment Of the power trust" praise of
the several governmental agencies that
have helped establish power projects,
and eulogy Of the administration agri-
cultural program.
White House Calls Mullen.
When Arthur F. Mullen returns
from his long European tour, he is
expected in Nebraska. 1t Is reported
that he has been asked to call at the
White House before that and specu-
lation exists whether he is to gain q
return Of his power so suddenly ter
minated when he resigned with other
Democratic national. committeeman
practicing law in Washington after
the Inauguration Of President Roose-
welt. The ONCE Of committeeman still
remains vacant.
The Nebraska Democratic organiza-
ton now existant, was organized by
the Mullen faction. 1t is functioning
under direction of State Chairman
James c. Quigley Of Valentine, but
more fire would come to its activities
under the Mullen leadership it is
believed. Mullen, however, Is no po-
litical friend Of Senator Norris.
United States Senator Edward r.
Burke, Democrat, is admittedly still
thinking over the situation. He has
not thrown himself into the campaign.
He Is not dated UP for Norris.
Republican State campaign leaders
are greatly cheered at the outlook.
AS the congressional situation now
stands. the Republicans feel they will
elect at least two Representatives
Representative Karl Stefan in the
third district and Judge z. B. Perry
in the first.

BALTIMORE FIGHT
HITS DEMOCRATS
Mayor Jackson and Curran
Maintain Separate
Headquarters.
BY JOSEPH G. DEPONAI,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

BALTIMORE. October 3.-With a
factional fight in Baltimore City be-
tween Mayor Howard w. jackson and
William Curran, who controlled a
number Of wards for years, in addi-
ton to Statewide contest for leader
ship Of the party between Mayor Jack
son and Senator Millard z. Tydings,
the outlook for success of the Demo-
cratic presidential and congressional
candidates Is not nearly as encourage
ing as it was four years ago.
For the first time in the history Of
the party two headquarters have been
opened here-one by the State Central
Committee and the faction headed by
Mayor jackson and the other by fol-
lowers Of Mr.. Curran. While all fac
tons are working for the reelection of
tne President and the Democratic con-
gressionai candidates, split in the
party such as this does not augur well
Tor the success of the ticket, and de-
spite the fact that the President is still
leading Gov. Landon by about $4,000
votes in poll being conducted by a
local paper, Maryland continues in the
doubtful column.
This Is explained by the fact that
out OF over 350,000 voters on the lists
in Baltimore only approximately 49,
600 have taken the trouble to cast a
straw vote, with President Roosevelt
receiving $4,000 and Gov. Landon
$4,000. the rest of the vote being cast
Tor the Socialist, Labor and Com
munist candidates.
It Is reported that word has been
passed to Republican workers not to
send In any ballots in this straw vote,
and many Of the votes for Gov. Ian
don are what Is termed the "inde-
pendent VOTE which often controls
the result of both State and national
elections. It Is also noted that out of
over 350, 900 ballots mailed out in Bal
timore City. taken from the books of
the supervisors Of election, over 10000
have been returned by the post office
as unbelievable" despite the fact
there was q general registration of all
voters in 1891, while about 81, 900 bal
lots have been returned from the
counties for the same reason.
In the counties about $4,000 votes
have been cast with the President re-
ceiving $4,000 in round figures and
Gov. Landon 10000. With the excep-
tion Of Prince Georges County, where
President Roosevelt Is leading, the
vote In Southern. Maryland counties
50 far is close. especially in Mont
eomery, where Gov. Landon has polled
approximately $4,000 and the Presi-
dent $4,000 out of the. $1,000 votes
cast. Calvert shows about an even
break. while returns from Charles and
st. Marys Counties give the President
q slight edge. t

DEMOCRATS KEEP
CALIFORNIA EDGE
Los Angeles County Reveals
$685. ,035 Plurality in
Registrations.
BY BART SHERIDAN.
Special Correspondent of The Star.

LOS ANGELES, October 3.-Demo-
cratic voting strength in California
continues to maintain a slightly bet
ter than 3 to edge over the Repub-
lican power, according to unofficiat
figures on registration for the Mo-
vember presidential elections.
While final figures for the State
at large have not yet been compiled,
preferences voiced in the latest regis
tration in Los Angeles County, homo
Of nearly half the States voters, ia
vored the Democrats by a plurality
Of 309,035. This slightly exceeds the
plurality recorded at the August reg
istration. but the vote ratio remained
unchanged.
Democrats Had Edge In May.
Oficial figures for the entire State
at the May primaries gave the Demo-
Gratis an edge The advantage in
creased slightly when registrations
were completed for. the August
primaries.
The probable effect OF the candi-
dacy Of William Lemke, at first
thought potential influence in the
final balIoting. appeared negligible as
signatures on his petition to be placed
on the California ballot fell short Of
the 1l8, 900 required by the State laws
Final determination on this point
may await court action, however, as
the secretary Of states Office invali-
dated more than half Of the Lemke
signatures because signers had failed
to record their precinct numbers.
The scarcity of petitioners is never
theless strong indication that the
Union party will not exert any con-
siderable pressure.
Rivalries Settled.
ra-party rivalries we're virtual
settled this week when the newl-'
chosen State Central Committees O.
both parties elected their State chair
men. Justus Cramer of Orange

publican post. Clifford Anglim OF

PORTLAND, Oreg. October 3-Po-
litical observers in Oregon are watch
ing the surprising shift in Fall regis
tration with more than a little inter-
est for what prediction portent it
may hold for the November results.
The State has been heavily Republican
in registration for so years or more
now it is narrowing this margin almost
to the vanishing point.
Multnomah County. in which Port
land is situated, casts approximately
one-third Of the vote In the State. In
1928 Republicans outnumbered the
Democrats nearly three to one Just
prior to the November election In
1882 the margin had come down to
$500. In the face Of that registra-
ton Roosevelt carried the county by
3l,697 votes.
Books Close October 8.
The registration books close October
5, and compilation by the registrar,
made one week before that date,
showed that the Republican majority
had dwindled to 1852. According to
the registrars estimate, based on the
proportionate shift Of the past month,
the Democrats will have crept up 10
approximately 5000 Of the Republican
totals by the close of registrat ton time,
something new in the political history
OF the State.
While ohicial compilations have not
heer made IN, the remaining az coi1p.
ties Of the State, unof1cial surveys
disclose the same general trend away
from the Republican and toward the
Democratic lists.
It has been the contention of Re-
publican leaders for years past, when
ever Democratic ONCE seekers have
prevailed at the polls, that the Demo-

Gratis have invaded the Republican
lists, which probably to large extent
has been true since political battles
generally were won or lost in the pri-
mary election and voter not regis
tered Republican had no voice IN those
contests.
Three Causes Given.
Three causes are given for the
change in registration-first. that
voters normally Democratic spurred
by the organized effort of the Deme-
cratic headquarters, have come back
home; second, that FIRST voters"
coming into the field for the first
time are predominantly Democratic;
third, that many on relief projects
have registered Democratic under
pressure, actual or assumed. Be that
as it may, political students look upon
the shift as indicative of q Roose-
welt victory in the State.
This assumption seemingly is sup
ported by reports brought in by those
who have surveyed the State during
the last few days in the attempt to
sense the drift Of sentiment. These
reports may be summarized in the
report Of one that Main street is
for Landon, but when you get OF
that street, it is Roosevelt"
These surveys have it that Senator
Charles L. McNary is running easily
in the lead for reelection. Represen-
tative James Mott, Republican Town
send indorsed, is given another term
in the first district: Representative
Walter M. Fierce, Democrat Town
send indorsed. Is picked to win In
the second district and Representative

ALABAMA REPUBLICANS
ENTHUSIASM is SMALL
Chances Of Jobs Non-Existent
With Democrats Controlling
National Administration.
BY J. r. ROTHERMEL,


Special Correspondent of The Star.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, October S.
Alabama Republicans are about as
quiet this year as they have been
since reconstruction days. There Is
hardly voice raised among them.
One reason is the fact that the
national administration has been
Democratic for four years and has 0
pretty good chance to remain 50.
When there is no pie to distribute,
Republicans in Alabama have little
enthusiasm for their cause.
Recent elections also did little to
encourage Republicans. The party
generally has elected officers in four
or five counties. But the 1882 land
slide saw every county 60 Demo-
cratic. Republicans expect this year
to recapture winston, DeKalb, Shell.
by and st. Clair Counties, their usual
sources Of strength, and that is about,
all. -.
Congressionally the Republicans. are
virtually without hope.
