nored completely allegations Of vote
frauds.
Charges Of dishonest elections Is a
particularly important issue this Fall
in st. Louis. A few weeks before the
primary, August 4, allegations were
made that nearly $4,000 fraudulent
names appeared on the registration
books. Gov. Guy B. Park ordered his
st. Louis Election Board to purge
the books" but the only action taken
was to name challengers to attempt to
prevent fraudulent voting.
Following the primary. the Gov
ernor was deluged with demands for
dismissal of the st. Louis board. He
has taken no action, asserting he Is
making an investigation and will an
nounce his decision soon. Meantime a
st. Louis grand jury has returned 80
indictments in connection with al
legged election fraud.
Because of this situation, st. Louis
Democratic politicians are fearful q
large independent vote in that city
may turn against them. In the past
St. Louis has been heavily Repub-
lican and this year the G. o. P. Is
making vigorous drive to return that
city to the fold.
Intensive campaigning by both par
ties will get under way in about q

selection were left to voters some
Liberty League Democrats might get
In and spoil the picture Of 100 per
cent support from this State for
President Roosevelt.
This manner of "hand-picking" the
delegates was opposed by State Chair
man Leon McCord Of Montgomery,
who ran for reelection to his partS
ofiice on the single issue Of rebuking
the State committee. He won handily
over the candidate selected by the
''hand-pickers."
But the State committee now, 1t ap-
pears, has forgotten this so-called
rebuke at the hands Of the Demo-
cratic voters
Many believe the real reason for
the ''hand-picking" was not to give
an impression Of harmony over Pres

litical machine with Gov. Graves %

SIOUX FALLS, S. OAK, September
19.-Republican leaders in South Da.

cent polls taken in South Dakota and
by State weekly and daily newspapers
which show a strong trend toward
Gov. Landon and the remainder Of
the Republican ticket. Some OF the
Democratic newspapers are conduct
ing counter polls showing Roosevelt
leading Landon.
Those in touch with the Republican
State campaign say South Dakota in
November would return to the Repub-
lican column by $4,000 or 10000 were

vote. This years drought has re-
suited in thousands Of South Dakota
voters, both men and women, again
being placed on the relief rolls, and
among them are many Republicans.
The battle for the relief vote is be-
coming bitter.
Non-partisans take the view that
the Democrats will lose much of the
relief vote in South Dakota. as those
on relief are said to realize they must
later pay in increased taxes their
share of the huge debt the Roosevelt
administration Is piling up.

CHAIN STORE LEVY
CALIFORNIA ISSUE
Tax on Large Incomes Also
Will Be Decided in
No.
November Vote.
BY BART SHERIDAN,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.


LOS ANGELES, September 49,
To tax or not to tax chain stores and
earners of large incomes must be
decided by California voters at the
November elections.
With no further indices registered
as to how greatly Gov. Landon has
narrowed the lead of President Roose-
welt in the presidential race, voters
have begun to analyze some of the %
propositions which will face them on
the lengthy ballot this Fall.
Most discussed Of the propositions
now that the sales tax repeal measure
has been ruled of the ballot. is the
referendum measure to discard the
chain store tax. This tax, passed by
the 1885 Legislature, is progressive
according to the number Of stores
under one ownership, up to $500 pei
year for each store when 10 or more
are so owned. The law exempts f1ll.
ing-station chains and theater chains
and is aimed principally at large-scale
grocery and drug store operators.
The tax on personal incomes, voted
by the Legislature without q popular
referendum vote, comes up as an initi-
ative repeal measure.

To SEE HAMILTON
Party Chairman Will Visit
State Thursday for
Three Addresses.
BY ROBERT H. HORNER,


CHARLESTON, w. Va, September
19.-West Virginians will get their
hrst glimpse of John Hamilton, Re-
publican national chairman, when he
visits the State Thursday for three
meetings at widely separated points.
He will visit Charleston in the
morning to meet with County Com
mittee members, candidates and lead
ers assembled from all over the State
to discuss organization. Early in the
afternoon he will visit Point Pleasant.
60 miles west of the State capital at
the Ohio border, for an address. From
there he will 60 to Wheeling, in the
extreme northern end of the State, to
speak at night.
Republicans count upon the visit Of
the national chairman for new
strength in their organizing efforts
and In the campaign they have
launched.
At the first of the week considerable
attention was attracted by statements
issued by Judge Summers H. Sharp,
Republican nominee for Governor,
charging that State Democratic
administration representatives had
sought to cover up primary election
fraud charges by offering job to D.
Earl Brawley, a Kanawha County con-
testant. Both Attorney General Homer
A. Holt, Democratic candidate for
Governor, and Gov. H. G. Kump chal-
lenged Judge Sharp to name his in
formant and the Republican nominee
replied that Brawley, the contestant,
could give them all the facts.
Hearing of the Brawley case, which
has attracted Statewide notice be-
cause Of the charges Of bribery, fraud
and ballot box stufing involving some
of the major candidates., actually
began in the Kanawha County Court
the three commissioners being Demo-
crats-early in the week under Su-
preme Court mandate.
Republicans have delivered several
attacks upon Gov. Humps admins
tration, the latest being the charge
that he allowed exorbitant fees to at
torneys for closed banks in receiver
ship. To this the Governor replied
that liquidation of such banks is an
expensive process, but he declared the
damage had been done in previous
Republican administration.
For the present, most Of the OBJ
servers here are placing West Virginia
in the doubtful column, although
many profess to see Democratic ad-
vantages in their powerful organiza-
ton. Gov. Kump is reputed to be
strong among the business interests OF
the State, while President Roosevelt
is strong with labor, and it Is said the
two combined will materially help the
Democratic ticket.

Democrats Neglect State,
Rediscovered by Foes in
Chicago Talks.
BY RALPH WATSON,
Special CORRESPONDENT Of The Star.

PORTLAND, Greg, September 10.
Oregon, q forgotten State to large
extent as far as the Republican and
Democratic national commands are
concerned, has been rediscovered by
National Chairman John Hamilton.
under whose directions a Statewide
major offensive is to be launched
Monday in an attempt to nail down
the States five electrol votes for the
Landon- Knox ticket.
The latter part of the past week
Hamilton suddenly ordered all State
headquarters key men to come to Chi
cago for a conference last Monday,
those summoned including the chair
man and secretary of the State COM
mittee, president Of the Oregon Re-
publican Club, an auxiliary organiza-
ton covering the State; the national
committeewoman and the head OF
the veterans division of the State
committee.
The purpose Of the conference, as
reported here, was to outline plans for
an organization and vote-getting
drive, to be launched simultaneously
in all the SO scounties of the State
Monday.
Generally speaking, Northwest
Coast observers have classed Oregon
with its five electoral votes as fairly
safe in the Roosevelt column.
The Democratic State headquarters
has been finding difficulty in securing
campaign funds from local sources on
the one hand. while being handed a
heavy quota for use by the national
committee on the other, which ap-
parently has taken the position that
the State Is anchored and in better
position to give help than to need it.
Representative William Lemke came
to Portland few days ago to address
q mass meeting at the public audi
torium in support of his candidacy.
He will be on the ballot here as an
Independent. He spoke to approxi-
mately 2.400 people, the bulk Of the
audience being Townsend plan fol-
lowers, not as large gathering as
came to hear Frank Arbuckle, head
of the Los Angeles Townsend head
quarters, who spoke here q month ago.
Col Frank Knox came to Oregon
Thursday to speak at the State con-
vention of the Oregon Republican

DETROIT. Mich, September 19.-
The question Of whether Representa-
tive William Lemke will be able to get
on the Michigan ballot still remains
unanswered, although the State Farm
er-Labor Convention, which was to
have decided it, has come and gone.
The Union party, as such, Is barred
from the ballot because it was formed
too late to conform with Michigan
law. The strategy Of Lemke and
Father Charles E. Coughlin, therefore,
has been to persuade some party with
q place on the ballot to permit the
Lemke electors In its column. Dicker-
ing produced no results, and the
Coughlin-Lemke forces decided to
make a play for the Farmer-Labor
Endorsement.
At Farm Union meeting In Grand
vile resolution was adopted indors-
ing Lemke as the Farmer-Labor can
didate for President. At the Wayne
County Farmer-Labor Convention, In
Detroit, resolution was adopted
CAPA SooiAlS VIC POiiSy tAAdS ehiC PoA W
should indorse no candidate for
President.
Stage Set for Struggle.
The stage at the State convention
at Owosso, therefore, was set for q
bitter struggle between the farmer
and labor ends Of the party over the
Lemke Endorsement.
The Lemke group formulated plans
for packing the Farmer-Labor Con-
vention with their cohorts. They
worked through the Farm Union units,
which had a right at the convention,
and through the N. U. s. J. and
Townsend plan units, which never
before had evidenced the slightest
interest in the party, and whose right
Of presence at the convention, there
fore, was open to considerable
question.
The convention opened with the
Wayne County labor group, backed by
. scattering Of Communists. in con-
troll. The N. U. s. j. and Townsend
delegates were refused credentials.
After a long wrangle, these elements,
together with the Farm Union dele
gates, walked out and started their
own convention in another building
