THE SOUTH HAS LOST ITS VETO POWER

It is already apparent that the problem Of gov
erning the new House is going TO be difficult one
On the Democratic side there will be "a members
who did not serve in the previous Congress- Mose
of them are believed to be more radical than the
men they have supplanted.
There will be Is new Republicans total new
and untred membership of 90.
OF the 334 Democratic members, the North East
and West including the border states will control
all but 101.
The South has not only lost the veto power over
the nomination of a president in the national con-
vention of the Democratic party surrendered at
Philadelphia, but the South has lost its traditional
veto power within the Democratic party in the
House
AS result of the 1886 Roosevelt landslide, the
control of the House in the new Congress will def
nitely pass from the Democratic party to the New
Deal party.
Yet, owing to the strong tradition of seniority in
the House, the leadership will remain in Demo-
cratic control. Nearly all of the key men, includ-
ing committee chairmen, are from the South They
could not be removed without an immediate party
schsm. No split will occur over the question of
committee chairmanships, but there are so many
elements within the Democratic majority that fac
| tionaism probably cannot long be suppressed.
| Here is a task which the recognized leaders of
the old House are approaching almost prayerfully.

date for the vacant position Of floor leader, is send

THIS DASTARDLY KILLER MUST BE
PUNISHED

One of the most dastardly crimes ever
committed anywhere was the murder OF
Joe Whitaker game warden of Henderson
county. II was one of the most cowardly
and ineXcusable crimes in the whole his
tory of Henderson county. The killer,
caught in the act of spotlighting game, was
guilty of miSdemeanor under the North
Carolina game laws. To avoid arrest on
this charge ne committed murder.
All the power for law enforcement and
the punishment of crime lodged in the
county of Henderson and the State Of
North Carolina should be marshaled in
the effort to apprehend and punish this
killer. The public does not need to be in
formed that he is dangerous outlaw, and,
running at large. a menace to law enforce
ment and to the peace and security of the
section. as well as to the safety of all law
enforcement officers.
Joe Whitaker, young man 33 years OF
age; a good citizen, conscientious and
efficient officer, has been shot down with
out reason or provocation. The laws of
North Carolina must be indicated. All
good citizens unite in urging the officers
of the law to take what ever steps are nee
essary to find, convict and punish the
killer.

C.. O. P. CHANCES FADE in DEMOCRATIC COUP

MayHint Trend
Local Disorganisation
Is Handicap for
Democrats.
BY ROBERT ID. BYRNES,
Snecial Cnrresnnndent of The Star

HARTFORD. Conn, october s.
Connecticut's small town elections
Monday in about 120 of the States
169 towns will be watched more closely
than usual this year because the State
campaign has progressed far enough
to bring national issues before some
of the voters who will name local
candidates.
Most of these small towns are Re-
publican, and local issues sway re-
suits in many of them, but a trend
has been discernible in the October
voting in other years.
An increase In the number of Demo-
cratic towns and in the total vote Of
that party began in 1925 and continued
until last year, when the Republicans,
making the New Deal the issue, gained
more towns than at any time since
1893. Democrats are handicapped by
disrupted local organizations in some
towns they now hold.
Fourth district Republican renom-
mated Schuyler Merritt unanimously.
There was minor opposition to re-
nomination of James A. Stanley by
Democrats in the third, where Re-
publicans have named John F. Lynch
of West Haven as their congress
sional candidate.

TOPEKA. Kans., October 8. -
The Kansas Republican organization,
which holds the reelection of Sena-
tor Capper and the election Of Will
G. West as Governor and the entire
State ticket practically assured, is pre-
pairing to bend its efforts the rest of
this month on the western Kansas
wheat belt.
The two wheat belt districts of Kan
sas are the sixth and seventh. To-
day these apparently are in the
Roosevelt camp, thought not by
enough to give Roosevelt much chance
of carrying the State. If these two
districts can be swung into line, then
Kansas should give Landon a re
spectacle" majority in November. II
these two districts go for Roosevelt,
and also the fifth-which seems a
foregone conclusion-the Landon ma
jority might drop down around the
$4,000 mark. though probably nearer
$4,000.
Senator Capper is campaigning for
Landon With Representative Frank
Carlson of Concordia in the sixth dis
trict next week. He will move over

COLUMBUS, Ohio, October s.
Aside from the Davey-Bricker con-
test for Governor the uncertainty of
the election still is a topic of con-
versation among Ohioans, who are
having a difficult time deciding who
will win the States electoral votes.
The political wind hereabouts con-
tinues to blow the many straws in all
directions. The Dispatch's Statewide
poll so far gives President Roosevelt
an edge of almost per cent over Gov.
Landon. Another straw vote, how
ever, indicates a nip-and-tuck race,
with no definite prediction of which
will carry Ohio And the Literary
Digest gives the State to Gov. Landon
in what seems walkaway.
Republicans in Ohio are enthusiast
tic for their cause at the moment.
Col. Frank Knox has Just recently
swept through the State.
Ely to Speak Soon.
The Constitutional Democrats are
to listen soon to former Gov. Ely of
Massachusetts, and others who will
gather in Columbus for an anti-New
Deal meeting. And Gov. Landon,
it seems pretty certain. will go through
the latter part of this week October
s, Z and 81, with perhaps two major
political speeches and host OF public
appearances, most Of them informal
He plans now to stop in Columbus
over the week end of October 7 and
see the Ohio State University of
Pittsburgh foot ball game, an event
which before the Governors intentions
were announced promised to cause
sell-out in Ohio State University's
10000 capacity stadium. 1t is sup
posed the Governor will spend Satur-
day evening with the Republican or
ganization representatives of the
State, talk over plans, map out
strategy and be available generally for
discussions with his lieutenants and
admirers here. Sunday morning he
is expected to attend church in Co
lumbus, and Sunday afternoon to
rest before continuing his trip.
While in the State, it is hoped
he will take occasion to visit the
scenes Of his boyhood in Marietta and
to make appearances in all the South
eastern hill country, where there ex-
lists a local pride Of association with
the man who is Republican candidate
for President.
New Deal Efforts Lag.
This expedition, it is hoped, will
erase any doubt cast upon a Repub-
lican victory In Ohio by. several poll
results.
Why the New Deal has not done
more about insuring Ohio for itself
is somewhat Of mystery. Ad-
mittedly the State is close.
