WEST VIRGINIA ADVANCE
SCORED BY REPUBLICANS
Democratic inactivity Increases
Uncertainty of Victory
in State,
BY ROBERT H. HORNEH.

Special Correspondent OIL he SLhi'
CHARLESTON, w. Va, September
ee. The Republicans are making
progress throughout West Virginia on
both national and State issues. The
Democrats are not quite so active.
however, and the question is being
asked when they will start their cam
paign.
West Virginia is considered in some
quarters to have shifted from Dem
ocratic certainty to the doubtful COL
umn. This is in conformity with
some straw ballots, which within the
last 10 days have placed this State
on the borderline.
Republicans, led by their nominee
for Governor, Judge Summers H.
Sharp, of Marlinton, are keeping -
q fire of charges of waste and extrav-
agance. The latest accusation is
nepotism.
Headquarters of the West Virginia
branch of the Independent Coalition
of American Women against the New
Deal, have been opened at Charles
ton, with Mrs. M. M. Moorehead,
chairman, in charge.

OHIO CONTINUING
QUESTION MARK
Definite Tendency Absent
in State-TraditionaI
Lines Lacking.
BY L. r. COUNOR,
Special Correspondent Of The star.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 26-
The days pass swiftly in Ohio with
out this State finding out any more
definitely whether 1t will give its elec-
toral vote to President Roosevelt or
Gov. Landon. The traditional polit-
ical cleavages are absent from the
picture in the straw votes being taken
in every corner Of the commonwealth.
Office building and suburban samples
give Mr.. Landon only nominal edge.
Labor gives Mr.. Roosevelt an almost
unqualified Endorsement. The colored
vote, which has been stanchly Repub-
Gcan throughout the years, has split,
and in many colored districts of cities
such as Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo
and Cincinnati Roosevelt campaign
buttons are much in evidence.
The State ticket seems to be set
tied. Gov. Davey apparently will be
Overwhelmingly beaten. But con-
trary to what is SO often the case,
Attorney General John Bricker. who
is at this writing fated to carry an
almost unprecedented Republican vote
for Governor, isn't expected to be able
to give Gov. Landon much of a pull.
The Lemke vote, which earlier was
expected to mean considerable in the
final national result, looks as though
it would be too small to make much
of a difference.
The Republicans, however are look
ing forward with much confidence to
Gov. Landon's visit in Ohio when he
will make two political speeches at
Cincinnati and Cleveland, and when
he will touch briefly at several other
points. Gov. Landon, it will be re-
called, was reared in Ohio. in Mari
eta, the Oldest settlement in the
great Northwest territory. and he il
expected to visit the scenes Of his
boyhood. His boosters hereabouts are
certain that once he becomes better
known to the voters of the State he
will have slight difficulty winning the
Ohio electoral votes.
In the meantime both the Scripps-
Howard and the Columbus Dispatch
Statewide straw vote polls show
Bricker away ahead of Davey, and
Roosevelt with a comfortable margin
over Landon. The former newspapers
have received about $4,000 votes in
their poll and the latter publication
about 10000 in its.
Unless something happens to
change the situation materially in
Ohio, all the political forecasters seem
doomed to making uncertain predic-
tions qualified at every turn with
many and large ifs. For so far as
the national situation is concerned
the race between Landon and Roose-
welt is close. has been close and prom
ises to continue being close. The
Governors swing around the State
may start the ball rolling more def
nitely in his direction.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, September 90
With exception of a few district con-
ferences devoted largely to plans for
raising funds, the Tennessee cam
paign still lags with little prospect
that it will get under way before Oc-
tober. The Democrats generally are
awaiting the signal from national
headquarters, while the Republicans
appear to be content to watch and
see what will happen.
The first Monday of each quarter
Is county court day in Tennessee, and
for century has been the occasion
of large gatherings at the county
seats. The Democrats usually take
advantage Of the first Monday in Oc-
tober to fire broadside in every
county. While no announcements
have been made, 1t is probable that
the 1896 campaign will be touched
OF in this fashion.
Though there will be a supplement
tai registration of voters next month,
the time limit for poll tax payments
expired September 4. The main drive
when the campaign starts will be to

SEEKING CONTROL
Party Enthusiasm Lacking.
Republicans "Bury
Differences"
BY JOSEPH G. DEPONAI,
Stan CORRESPONDENT Of The Star.


BALTIMORE, September 26-Despite
the fact President Roosevelt is leading
Gov. Alfred M. Landon by about $4,000
votes in Statewide straw vote, Mary
land can still be placed in the doubtful
column, according to best posted
political observers here. This is based
on the fact that, while all party leaders
are working for the reelection of the
President and the Democratic con-
eressional candidates, there is split
in the party over the gubernatorial
and senatorial election in 1888, and
the enthusiasm which was so evident
in 1882 is woefully lacking this year.
fight for party control is being
waged between Senator Tydings and
Mayor Howard w. Jackson of Balti-
more, and while both are working for
the reelection of President Roosevelt,
the fight for control of the party III
Maryland is the outstanding objective
OF both sides.
jackson Leads for Governorship.
At the present time Mayor jackson
Is not only the outstanding guber-
material candidate, but the logical
successor to the late Gov. Ritchie as
the leader of the Democratic party in
Maryland. However, it is reliably re-
ported that he is being opposed by
Senator Tydings. as well as Herbert
r. O'Conor. attorney general. and
William S. Gordy jr., State controller,
both of whom, it is said, also have
gubernatorial aspirations.
This lack of harmony in the party
is bound to have an effect in the presi-
Dental election, as the leadership OF
the party will depend largely upon the
result of the election November 3.
The Republicans, on the other hand
while split since the election of Gov.
Harry W. Nice and the subsequent
displacement of Galen L. TAFT as State
chairman, have buried their differ
ences' and are solidly working for
the success of the Landon-Knox ticket
IN the State.
The Republicans also stand good
chance of electing their candidate in
at least one congressional district, it
is said-in the third district, which
is wholly within Baltimore City and
where John Philip Hill is opposing
Representative Vincent L. Palmisano,
the incumbent.
Palmisano has been the center OF
fire between two factions OF the
Democratic party for several years
one headed by Mayor Jackson and
the other by William Curran, who has
been the leader in the East Baltimore
section, within which the district lies
and with the fight for leadership cen
tered in this district Mr.. Hill stands
q good chance Of being elected.

Sam Fry, jr.. declared he would bid
two spades. and after his partner re-
sponded with two no-trump (ordi-
narily there is no other possible re-
sponse, since there are on high honors
missing), he would then rebid his
four-card suit in order to ascertain
if support for spades was forthcoming,
or if partner had another suit to
show.
Our host. Mr. Won Zedtwitz, sug-
gested an opening bid of five no trump,
which, he claimed, would automati-
cally ask partner to respond with six
Of some suit. We disagreed with this
because we thought a bid of five no
trump should show solid hand with
two distinct losers and request partner
to bid six only If he held an ace or
king.
Howard Schenken said he would bid
two hearts and follow with three dia-
monds, because he hoped his partner
cloud then bid spades on the second
round.
While this discussion was enulreiy
theoretical, such q hand or one SIM
liar might appear some time, and it was
interesting to note the different meth
ods employed in attempting to reach
the correct final contract.

ner's hand, and we think the opening
two-heart bid won out. The hand was:

5peciaI Correspondent of The Star,

DETROIT, Mich. September 26.-
The Michigan primary provided
plenty Of material for arguments and
very little else.
The Republicans took 58 per cent
OF the vote, and are jubilant over It..
The Democrats are respondent be-
cause they had hoped to top the Re-
publican vote. AS q matter Of cold
fact, the vote indicates an actual
increase in Democratic voting strength
in Michigan. Never before have DEM
ocrats cast so large a proportion OF
the vote in the primary. In 1882
the Republicans cast 68 per cent Of
the vote in the primary: and in No
vember the Democrats swept the
State, Roosevelt carrying 1t by 10000
votes.
Republicans shouted gleefully that
the New Deal had been "rebuked''
because of the defeat of Senator Couz-
ems in the Republican primary and
because of the close squeak Represent
ative Prentiss M Brown had in get
ting by Louis B. Ward. Coughlin lob
byist, for the Democratic nomination
for Senator.
Vote Held New Deal Strength.
Democrats answer that when Re-
publican Senator can indorse Demo-
cratic presidential candidate and then
take some 38 per cent Of the vote in
Republican primary. it is an indica-
ton of New Deal strength rather than
weakness. AS to Ward, they contend
that his big vote was largely due TO
the fact that he made hard cam
paign and was well known in the
metropolitan area Of Detroit, where
he led Brown. Brown, on the other
hand. waged a desultory campaign
and was not we'll known in the De-
troit area. He comes from st. Ignace,
in the Upper Peninsula.

maries does prove one thing and that

Mr.. Hymes elucidated further:

Mr.. Hymes elucidated further:
Whether you are playing four
hearts or four spades, clubs are opened.
At four hearts you will have to trump
three clubs with three of your high
trumps before your spades are estab-
lished. With your two remaining
trumps you can then take two rounds,
and on one of your established spades
you can throw dummys losing dia-
mond, but West will then make a
trump, so that you will lose one club,
two spades and a heart trick.
"At four spades you trump the sec
ond club and make the safety play of
a small spade. After trumping the
next club. you play the ace of spades,
leaving West with the master trump,
and then simply run of your hearts,
so that all the opponents will make
will be two spades and one ciup trlck.'
Mr.: Hymes then concluded:
This particular principle occurs
frequently. Many times, where you
hold two suits, one solid and one
broken, 1t Is better to play the hand
with the weaker suit as trump, reserv-
ing the solid suit to furnish discards
of losers in dummy. In this partic-
ular hand, with hearts trumps, it is
necessary to play three ROUNDS OF
spades in order to establish that suit,
whereas with spades trump, the de-
clarer has only to play small spade
and then the ace. only two rounds,
and can then force out the master
trump with his solid heart suit"
