in Congress.
BY FRANK p. STEWART,


SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. October
10-The campaign is in full swing
in Utah. Both camps are well or
ganized and have efficient workers
covering the State thoroughly.
Democrats expect to carry Utah for
Roosevelt and the two congressional
nominees by better than two to one
majorities. They freely admit. how
ever, that they have a hard fight
to re-elect Henry H. Blood. Gov
ernor. They count on the big lead
the President will carry.
Republicans do not expect to carry
Utah for Landon They do expect to
elect Ray Dillman Governor. how.
ever, as we'll as enough of thu Stats
Legislature ticket to permit them to
barter with Democrats and, two years
hence take over control.
In the meantime. stock of Harmon
Peery, independent candidate for
Governor, is rising, and he may bs

DEMOCRATIC SPLIT
ENDS IN KENTUCKY
Unified Support of Tickets
Replaces Airing of Re-
sentiments.
BY HARRY BLOOM.

Special Correspondent Of The Star.
LOUISVILLE, KY. october 10
Factional fireworks within Democatic
ranks, marked by the recent replace
ment Of J. j. Greenleaf. Richmond,
with Vego Barnes. Hopkinsville, as
campaign chairman, has stmmered
down, on the surface at least. Demo-
cratic orators Of all factions are fall
ing in line, relieved of airing latent
resentments by unified support Of the
national and State tickets.
Barnes in making 100 county chair
man appointments made 46 new Sc
lections but retained 54 of the 1Oc
men chosen by Mr.. Greenleaf. he
also named chairmen for the 20
counties that Greenleaf had not
reached at the time he was ousted.
Senator M. M. Logan, running for
reelection, and his opponent, Robert
II. Lucas. are campaigning vigorously,
making several speeches a day. Next
to the opening, the high light of the
Republican campaign was set for Fri
day night with a rally in Louisville
This was expected to be the largest
assemblage Of the campaign.
Kentucky's big question mark is the
size Of the vote. 1t should touch the
million mark, but the introduction Of
Statewide registration of voters this
year may whittle it down.
The registration closes at midnight
tonight and although the law does not
require tabulation by parties, there is
little doubt that energetic county
chairmen will compile the enrolment
for their own information and for
ward it to headquarters.
The registration period began Au-
gust l. On the first day, which CO.
incided with the primary election, a
total Of 633,089 voters were enrolled.
446,419 Democrats and 186,670 Re-
publicans. This was about 350,000
shy of the 9S3,063 votes cast in the
presidential race Of 1882. Many Of
the absentees have been enrolled since
then, but that this gap has been
bridged is doubtful.
In the meantime rural voters
seemed to have whipped up more in
terest in the age-old wct-dry fens
than in the presidential campaign.
They have held local options In II
counties, Is Of which went dry.
Under the States local option law,
the most stringent in existence. an
election may be held at almost any
time on petition of voters, but the de-
cision thus recorded stands for at
least three years.
One of the more obnoxious features
Of the law is a reward for informers.
Any one may get 10 per cent Of a
neighbor's property by telling on him,
II conviction follows.
The rapid accumulation OF dry
counties may force a new revenue
problem on tine State. approximately
q third of the States revenue comes
from liquor taxes of various counties.
While local option drought does not
affect production taxes on either beer
or whisky, it does affect taxes on re-
tail sales and retail licenses. They
stop cold in those counties.

OKLAHOMA FACES
ISSUE Of REPEAL
Liquor Dispute to Attract
EIectorate-Defeat
Is Expected.
BY OTIS SULLIVANT.


OKLAHOMA CITY. October 10
The two major political parties have
failed TO dramatic the general elec-
ton campaign In Oklahoma, but all
the issues involve promises to bring
out another big vote November 8.
Repeal Of State prohibition and liq-
uor control has become a heated issue
in the State and will serve to pull
voters to the polls November 3.
Gov. E. w. Marland intensified
interest in the issue recently by COM
ing out fatty for a proposed constitu-
tional amendment to repeal prohibi-
ton. which has been in effect since
statehood in 1907, and provide control
by the State monopoly system. The
constitutional amendment proposal
was placed on the general election
ballot by initiative petition.
Favors Repeal and Control.
It am for repeal because of the
quantity of liquor coming into the
State and the evidently great number
Of consumers" says Marland. II
think repeal and control is a question
the people are pretty well decided
upon. They have made up their
minds"
Marland's open declaration was Z
signal for United Drys Of Oklahoma
to launch q counter attack. At the
same time, Marland was accused of
trickery in attempting to get the
people to vote for it. He asked that
the measure be given a trial for a year
TO see If 1t wouldn't improve existing
conditions.
The Democratic party has side
stepped the question Of repeal. Re-
publicans have not capitalized upon it
as an issue, although they might have
launched an attack against the bill.
Defeat Is Expected.
It Is the consensus Of political
observers that the liquor measure will
be defeated. And, If it is voted down,
it will be because of the control fea-
lures, which opponents charge would
set up q system of graft and political
corruption in the State.
Col. Frank Knox. Republican NOM
inee for Vice President. will speak in
Tulsa Friday night. It will be the
first appearance of one Of the candi-
dates in the State.

OHIO RECOGNIZES
LIQUOR ISSUE DEAD
Effect of Formerly Strong
Faction November 3
Hard to Foresee.
BY t, r. CONNOR,

Special Correspondent of The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 10
Once such a statement as Gov. Lam
being dead issue would have embat-
tied dry Ohio, but today nothing is
being said.
However. in trying to foresee how
Ohio will vote November 3, 1t must be
remembered that the base of Ohio's
once strong Republican dry strength
is unalterably opposed to President
Roosevelt.
There was q time when one could
tell exactly how much strength the
dry element in Ohio would exert at
the polls. Today it is far more diff
cult, for, as Gov. Landon said, the dry
issue is dead
Some recent factors which may help
determine the outcome in Ohio are
Gov. Landon's trip through the State
today and tomorrow, including his stop
for the Ohio ate-University Of
Pittsburgh foot ball game in Colum-
bus: Landon's many conferences in
Ohio's capital with State Republican
organization workers; his address at
Cleveland and his many brief appear
ances from the rear platform Of his
train; the announcement by Jesse
Owens. Ohio State University's Negro
Olympic star, that he Is supporting
Landon, and the Cincinnati Enquirer's
recent Endorsement of Attorney Gen.
eral John Bricker, Republican, for
Governor.
The last day for registration of
voters is past and George Neffner of
the secretary of States Office is pre-
dieting record presidential vote of
about 2,800, 900, or, about 100000 more
than were cast for President in 1882.
Followers of the Columbus Dispatch
Statewide poll, which to date gives
President Roosevelt 50.4 per cent Of
the vote, Landon. 448 per cent, and
Lemke, 4.8 per cent, are awaiting pub
lication of its purely rural poll to see
If that will alter the standing. Votes
hitherto have been taken in cities and
the larger villages. In four Ohio
counties in the youngstown district,
the poll of the Youngstown Vindica-
tor and Telegram gives Landon s76:
Roosevelt, 846; Lemke, IS. The To-
ledo Blades postcard poll Of all the
registered voters in Lucas County so
far gives Roosevelt, 1924; Landon,
2,281: Lemke, 675. The Concinnati
Times Star, with returns from poll
Of 18 Southwestern Ohio counties,
gives Landon, s81; Roosevelt, $40, and
Lemke. IS. In each Of these polls the
percentage of drip from Democratic
to Republican is considerably greater
than the percentage of switches from
Republican to Democratic.

DEM0CRAT|CLEAD
Majority of 154,538 Over
Republicans Noted in
Registrations.
BY JOSEPH G. DEPONAI,

3peclal Correspondent OF Inc Stsf.
BALTIMORE, October 10.-While
new general registration Of all vot-
ers in Baltimore city, closed this week,
showed a total of 343,186 persons
eligible to vote next month. of which
the Democrats have majority Of l54,-
538, leaders of ,the Republican party
here are not discouraged.
This is due to the fact that Balti.
more city has always been overwhelm-
ingly a Democratic city and it is only
in the case Of a split that Republicans
have ever been able to elect a mayor
or any sizable number of members
of the Cnty Council.
Jackson Fights Curran.
Such a situation prevails here to-
day with fight between Mayor How
ard W. Jackson and William Curran,
who has controlled several city wards
for a number Of years. for city leader
ship. as well as contest for State
control between Mayor Jackson and
Senator Millard E. Tydings.
VI tilC total AShhoSA~ W
account for TOTS per cent Of the vot-
ers in the 685 precincts, as compared
with 2572 per cent affiliated with the
Republican party, with minor party
affiliations and declined voters making
up the other 3.53 per cent.
While a Statewide poll. conducted
by a local newspaper, which closed
this week, shows President Roosevelt
leading Gov. Landon by over $4,000
votes. it is significant that out of ILL.,
900 ballots sent out only 275,000 were
returned, with approximately $1,000
in Baltimore city and $4,000 In the
counties being returned by the post
office as unbelievable"
Split Barred to Public
The split in the party was brought
to public attention in a radio speech
this week by Mrs. Marie Bauern-
schmidt, secretary of the Public School
Association, who declared that a NUM-
ber of Democratic leaders paid Presi-
dent Roosevelt Zip service only" and
were "lukewarm" in their active
support.
Republican leaders, on the other
hand, are generally united and work
ing for success of the ticket. Despite
the plurality Of $4,000 for President
Roosevelt in the straw vote. they point
to the fact that for the first time in
years the Democrats have brought in
several Senators to make speeches in
Maryland. as well as the fact that the
President himself attended a political
gathering in Prince Georges County.

RICHMOND, Va, October 10
This campaign in Virginia has been
marked by the absence of change in
the original trend. Roosevelt started
of with long lead. is maintaining
that lead and barring something un-
expected will maintain that lead when
the returns are in. 1t looks as II Vir-
ginians had made up their minds be-
fore the campaign began.
Lemke's Union party is virtually
unknown in this part Of the country.
"Jeffersonian Democrats" are still
hammering away at Roosevelt, but
are avoiding the hustings.
OBJECTIONS from the two main
parties have been small. Although
industrialists have turned their backs
on the Democratic party, its organi-
zation is intact.
Even in matters Of finance the
Democrats are in better spirits than
a few weeks ago.
