Hoyas Attain
High Local
Ranking
By KIRK MILLER

Possibly we here in
Washington have fall
tered a little in paying
proper h o m a g e t o
Georgetown's position
in the local football
picture, now that all
others except t h e
Hoyas and Maryland
have laid away their
gadgets in the cam
phor balls.
The Hilltoppers left today to
play Miami in the Magic City
Friday night, and from what
can be learned of the Ever
glades outfit there is no parti-
cular certainty as to the out
come. Meanwhile Maryland
plays Western Maryland in
Baltimore Saturday to end the
year for both.
But what I would emphasize in
today's greeting, because think
the fact hasn't had near the
proper focus, is that Georgetown
deserves high place among the five
major colleges in the immediate
Washington terrain, rated off its
games to date.
One More RiUer
Hagerty'S HuSsars come down to
their final game with about as
enviahle a record as their very
fondest doters could wish for
them. If they can hurdle the
Miamians Friday, there should
be genuine cause for rejoicing up
yonder on the Potomac'S heights.
Indeed, the Hilltoppers, in my
mind, sort Of forged to the front

Since Georgetown had previ-

CoLonials' Great Push
AS the trapped fans trudged
stiff-jointedly out of Griffith Sta

trees, hot or cold, the thought
must have been uppermost in
their minds that while they had
seen a fiercely fought battle, with
Messrs. Pixlee and Reinhart pull
ing their potatoes out of the fire
in the last, hectic minutes of play,
after all Georgetown had made
much shorter work of the Morgan
town Marauders, and therefore by
the common yardstick Of compar
ing football teams which do not
actually face, deserved niche in
local rating slightly higher than
any team here.
In actual losses and ties, George
town and George Washington are
even, the Colonials having been
beaten by Rice and the Hoyas by
q great Manhattan machine. Each,
too, ha a tie on its blotter and

tority Of C. o. p. leaders admit pri-

strike an issue which would appeal to

The number Of persons on various

DENVER, October 31.-Charges and

Out Of the welter of verbal and

Worth Allen, Democratic State
chairman, declared President Roose-
welt would carry Colorado up upwards
of $4,000. He said Gov. Ed c. john
son, Democratic United States sena-
torial candidate, fould roll up a
huge majority, easily in excess of
$4,000" And predicted that Teller
Ammons, Democrat. would be elected
Governor by majority of at least
$4,000.
Allen said last minute poll by
county chairmen throughout the State
indicated Roosevelt might carry every
county in Colo RADIO.
The oppoSin, claims were pune
tuated by heated debate by the can

senatorial candidate, emphasized his
oft-repeated declaration that the New

Gov. johnson, Sauter's opponent,
stressed his plan to sponsor measures
designed to shift the tax burden to

PRESIDENT AHEAD
IN WEST VIRGINIA
Democratic Majorities Put
Up to 25,OOO-G. 0. P.
Seeks Big Vote.
BY ROBERT H. HORNER,

CpcCldI SOII >SpOuQenI OF ne StkTs
CHARLESTON, w. Va, October
3l.-As the campaign draws to q
close, West Virginia political OBJ
servers continue to give the advantage
to President Roosevelt and predict
Democratic majorities ranging up to
$4,000. This figure varies widely from
the vote cast in 1882, when President
Roosevelt won the State over Presi-
dent Hoover by majority of $4,000.
1t also varies broadly from the 1928
election, when Hoover won the State
over Al Smith by a majority Of
111,000.
Observers say that. in view of the
great protest against Hoover in 1882,
1t was surprising that he received
as many votes as he did, but they
point out it was evidence that the
Republican organization held together
and was responsible for it.
Democrats Rule Machinery.
This year the situation Is reversed,
for the Democrats, instead of the Re-
publicans, control the governmental
machinery in the State at large
and in Al Of the IS counties and
are expecting their organization,
which is larger, to hold together as
well, If not better. than the Repub-
icans held in 1882. Since the pro-
test this year against the New Deal
is of q different nature than the
protest against Hoover, the Demo-
Gratis claim the greater advantage.
The Republicans appear to have
perfected organizations in all Of the
counties and they expect to bring
out their largest vote on record.
United States Senator M. M. Nicely,
Democratic candidate for reelection,
may see his strength materially re-
dueed this year on account Of the
campaign against him by Senator
Rush D. Holt.
Holt Active in Campaign.
Attorney General Homer A. Holt,
Democratic candidate for Governor,
has been the most active member of
his party. opposing Judge Summers
H. Sharp Of Marlinton, Republican.
Attorney General Holt, however, will
have the support of the Democratic
organization, which gives him the ad-
vantage.
In congressional contests, all six
Democratic incumbents are candidates
to succeed themselves. Democrats
are said to hold the advantage except
in second, third, fifth and sixth dis
tricts.
West Virginia also is to elect two
Supreme Court judges. The can
didates are Judges Homer B. Woods
and M. o. Litz, Republican incu-
bents; Fred L. Fox of Sutton, present
State tax commissioner, and James
B. Riley of Wheeling, Democrats.

Special Correspondent of The star.
HELENA, Mont, October 31.-The
close of the campaign finds every indi-
cation that, as in 1892, the Montana
electoral votes will be authorized for
President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Despite the expected and routine
claims Of Republican leaders. it is
difficult to see how the tremendous
majority piled up by the President
four years ago, can be overcome.
Moreover, not only will the Demo-
Gratis sweep the State for President.
but they will, in all likelihood, keep
their seat in the United States Senate
as we'll as their two seats in the
Lower House of Congress.
The Republicans may elect the
Governor.
The registration is officially given
as 283, sos, against 265, 181 in 1882.

BALTIMORE, OCTOBER 31.-With
the Maryland campaign closing to-

opinion Of best posted political OBJ
servers here.
Senator George L. Radcliffe, Demo-
cratic campaign manager, declared
tonight President Roosevelt would
carry the State by about 100, 900 plu-
rality and all six Democratic con-
gressional candidates would win re-

committee, was equally emphatic in
his statement that Gov. Landon
would come to Baltimore City with a
plurality of $4,000 votes and would
carry 1t by small majority"
Lawson declared larger @. o. p.
majorities were expected from Mont

for the vote in these counties to over

observers here. however, the result
either will be very close or q land

In congressional fights the Demo-
Gratis appear pretty sure Of re-electing
their candidates in the first, second,
fifth and sixth districts. with the Re-
publicans having fighting chance
in the third and fourth districts, both
OF which are within Baltimore City.

Reelection of Borah to Senate In
Only Certain Result Of

BOISE, Idaho, October 31-An i'm.
partial survey of Idaho justifies the
contention Roosevelt still has the lead,
but by such slight margin the State
may be termed doubtful" and ulti-
mately land in the Landon column.
Should Roosevelt win, it is safe to
estimate his majority will range only
from $500 to 10000 votes.
Only one result can be set down
as certain and that is that Borah will
be returned to the Senate by a large
majority. probably the largest he ever
received. Clear reflection of this is
to be had in the fact that in all parts
Of the State Democrats are out openly
for him and that he will probably
draw from the Democratic party q
total Of 10000 votes.
For the past two weeks the voters
OF the State have been gravitating
towards Frank Stephan, Twin Falls

torial nominee, and his election now
appears probable.

CASPER, Wyo.. October 31.-One
of the most bitterly contested political
campaigns in wyoming history moved
toward a climax this week with both
major parties claiming victory, but
with preferred positions divided at the
head of the ticket.
President Roosevelt appeared q
winner by smaller majority than in
1882, while Senator Robert D. Carey,
Republican, and Representative Paul

feel confident.
Possibilities of upsets hinged on the
wavering Townsend vote Roosevelt
strength springs from important pub
lie works projects, organized labor
support, farm benefits and general
relief activities as we'll as improved
business conditions. Landon counts
numerous OBJECTIONS from Democratic
