STRAIGHT FROM
WASHINGTON
BY STEPHEN M. YOUNG
Congressman-at-Large

The house of representatives de-
votes every second and fourth Mon
day of the month to legislation re-
lating to the District of Columbia.
Speaker Byrns cancelled the District
Of Columia's legislative day schedul-
cd for May II. The reason is that the
Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage bill is
slated to come before the house of
representatives for consideration on
that date. This is one of the most con-
troversial measures pending in con-
9ress. Even though it is passed in the
house Of representatives, it is very
unlikely that it will be enacted into
law. The senate will probably pigeon
hole i. # It is not pigeon-holed il
the senate. the president is likely to
veto It.

The Democratic State campaign,

State convention, postponed through

President Roosevelt would appear as
q speaker and thus counteract the
widely known fact that the State and
national Democratic campaigns will
be conducted separately, was held only
Friday of this week. President Roose-
velt did not appear, but an effort is
to be made by State strategistS to
make it appear all is harmonious be-
tween Gov. Davey and Mr.. Farley.
The Governor has much to gain if
he can convince the voters that it is.
The President hasn't anything to lose
II the attempt fails.
1t becomes clearer day by day that
the issue in Ohio. more than national
deficits, budgets, regimentation, re-
lief or any of the half dozen ma
tionally accepted questions, IS Davey.
He occupies a peculiar position. That
he is the outstanding factor in the
State campaign is a certainty. That
he is an important one so far as the
national ticket in this State is cor
cerned there is more than a mere
suspicion.

IDAHO VOTE BOOST
HELD AID TO 6. 0. P.
Borah Reelection by Majority
Of 10000 to 25, 600 Is Gen.
orally Conceded.
BY JAMES r. STOTTS,

Special Correspondent Of The star.
BOISE, Idaho. September 12.-The
1896 political campaign is now in full
swing in Idaho. with recognition that
1t will, perhaps, be the closest ever
waged in the State.
The greater the vote the better the
chance for Republican success, it is
declared by G. o. P. leaders, who
estimate the total vote in the general
election at from 10000 to l85, 600.
The total vote Of the primary elec-
ton was only 90 900, and it Is conf
IDENTIFY predicted that of the increased
vote the Republicans will benefit by
not less than IS per cent. How
ever. If the future is judged by the
past, independent voters, who hold
the balance of power, are likely to
vote for individual candidates rather
than for a ticket.
Agricultural sentiment is largely
against the reciprocal trade agree
ments and President Roosevelt stands
to lost much Of this vote. Farmers
also evidence lack Of faith in his
agricultural program. On the other
hand, among the rank and file of
the Republican party Landon's in
depreciation of the monetary plank
of the national platform is still a
sore spot.
Senator Borah's reelection by
majority of from 10000 to $4,000
votes Is generally conceded. 1t is not
improbable that Henry Devorshak,
Gooding newspaper man, will defeat
Representative D. Worth Clark Of the
southern district for Congress.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, September
l2.-Political observers here now
place West Virginia In the doubtful
column, but they still admit the Re-
publcans must overcome the power
full Democratic organization in order
to win the November election.
1t is common talk here that never
before in the States history has a
political party out of power and seek
ing office been brought face to face
with such an organization OF patron
age as that now possessed by the
Democrats, as to both State and Fed
eral offices.
Estimates Of the number OF en-
ploes holding Democratic Jobs range
as high as $4,000. not to mention
q 900 on the w. P. A. pay rolls and
5000 more on other Federal emer-
gency agency pay rolls.
Republicans are said to view these
figures with some misgivings. but
claim to find several encouraging
points which they are confident will
help turn the tide In their favor by
November. They place considerable
faith in the fact that West Virginia
Is normally Republican, and some be-
lieve enough of the party followers
will be induced to return by election
time. Another point the Republicans
count upon p their claim OF edecting
large organizations in each OF the IS
counties. With these organizations
the Republicans expect to bring cut

On the Republican ticket Maj.

posed by Eliot A. Carter, also Of
Nashua, for the nomination for Gov

Perhaps the biggest Republican bat

for U. S. Senator.
In the First Congressional District
three Republicans seek the nomination:
A. B. jerks of Manchester, Secretary
Of State Enoch D. Fuller Of Manches-

In the Second District five Repub-
licans are after, the nomination:

On the Democratic side Amos N.

side-stepped on the ground that such
debate would only serve to give am
munition to their common enemy, the
Republicans.
An announcement Of the week that
may have some effect in the Novem-
Der election was that of Judge Ed
ward J. Jeffries of Detroit, the States
most prominent off-sider, that he is
candidate for the Farmer-Labor
nomination for United States Sena-
tor. Jeffries has been practically
everything at one time or another. He
came to Detroit back in the '9Os as
member Of Coxey's army He has
been Populist, Democrat and a
Republican. He is elected judge of
the Recorders Court of Detroit time
after time in non-partisan elections.
The arrival in Detroit of Louis r.
CLAWS and a corps of investigators
from the Senate Committee on Cam
paign Expenditures has caused a lot
Of Indignation in the Brucker camp,
where it Is felt the inquiry is directed
against their candidate.
Couzens Spurns Donations.
Both Brucker and Couzens have
furnished financial statements. Bruck-
er's statement show his campaign will
cost about $25.0O0. Cou1ens has spent
little more than $1,000. The Michi-
gan statutory limit is q little over
1000.
Couzens has refused contributions
and has furnished all the money for
his campaign himself. Brucker re-
fused to reveal the sources of his
campaign fund. It has been rumored
that bankers inimical to Couyens have
financed the Brucker campaign.
Apparently there is little ground to
believe that too much money has
been spent in the Michigan campaign
SO far. although strenuous efforts are
being made to raise a huge war chest
for the Republican national cam
paign fund here. Michigan has been
assigned a quota Of $500 900. of which
one third Is supposed to come back
to the State for State and local cam
paigns.
The source for the committees in
formation that 100000 is being
spent in Michigan apparently is an
obscure Detroit lawyer nameds John
P. McGovern, one-time foot ball
player at Catholic University. Nc
Govern wrote the committee a letter,
naming this figure and stating that
unnamed oil men had told him they
were making heavy contributions to
the Republican fund. There is a
possibility the Investigation may
boomerang to the damage Of the
Democrats.

BY L. r. CONNOR,


COLUMBUS, Ohio, September a.
It Is a question Of whether the peo-
pie Of Ohio are attaching more sig
nificance these days to the numerous
straw votes. the whirlwind opening
Of the State Republican campaign or
the long-deferred Democratic con-
vention.
No matter which turns out to be
most significant in the national
picture it is safe to say Ohioans will
do more understanding in Novem-
Der than at any other recent national
election. The reason-and the rea-
son for almost every political STU
alton in the Buckeye State this year
Is Gov. Davey.
Ohio has been listed as doubtful
State in the presidential election by
practically every competent commen-
tator in the Nation. If it is unduly
weak from the Democratic stand
point, it Is so because of Gov. Daveys
administration.
If the Republican ticket shows any
unexpected strength it will be due to
the popularity Of Attorney General
John Bricker, candidate for Governor,
who, nominated without opposition,
has just opened his campaign, and
who is finding 1t easy to capitalize
on Davey's weaknesses.
1t is expected Davey will be much
weaker throughout the State than
President Roosevelt, but that his
weakness will hurt. to some extent,
the Presidents chances in doubtful
territory. 1t is expected also that
Mr.. Bricker will be stronger in Ohio
than Gov. Landon, but that his
strength will aid. in some degree, the
national ticket.
1t is to what extent each of these
men will influence the national vote
that has made the straw vote follow
ers scratch their heads.

RALEIGH, N. c., September Ia
Democrats believe President r2oose-
velts majority will equal the 280, 900
he received in 1882, the largest mar
gin ever given any candidate for the
presidency.
Huge and enthusiastic crowds
greeted the President in every town
and hamlet through which he passed
during his two days in the State. de-
spite the fact that large part of the
l25-mile motor trip TO Charlotte
Thursday was made in a downpour
Of rain.
It was not so surprising that the
$4,000 persons attending the Demo-
cratic rally at Charlotte should have
sat through the rain which drenched
them before the President reached
the stadium. But the extent to which
desire to see and cheer the Presi-
dent along the route outweighed ths
personal comfort Of thousands Of per-
sons was remarkable.
