G. O. P. HOPES HIGH
IN RHODE ISLAND
Democrats Who Walked in 1882
Flock to Roosevelt in
Disorganization.
BY JAMES S, HART.

PROVIDENCE, r. l.. July Ii
Rhode Island Democrats who took
a walk in 1882 and refused to support
President Roosevelt are whooping IL
up for him in 1886 in the hope that
ne will bring their sadly disorganized
party to a third successive victory
this Fall. At this writing it is a
forlorn hope even in the hearts of
the Democrats themselves, but they
cling to the memory of the Presi-
dents miracle workings of the past
in the shape of corralling votes.
The Democratic slate is completely
assembled in spite of the lack of off,
clal announcements. Gov Theodore
Francis Green will seek the United
States senatorship, Lieut.. Robert E.
Quinn the governorship. a new face
will be seen in the third-place can
didscy and the rest of the State
ticket will be almost the same as last
election. Representative John M.
O'Connell. Democrat, has said moth
ing about seeking reelection yet in
the second district, and the first dis
trict nomination is open to the
scramblers.
At this point it appears that
former State Senator William H.
Vanderbilt, son of the late Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt, who died when
the Lusitania went down, has the
inside track for the Republican nomi-
nation for Governor, but there are
others who will dispute him, for this
looks like the year for the G. O. P.

LOSSES BY ROOSEVELT
IN TENNESSEE SLIGHT
BY THOMAS FAUNTLEROY.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, July 11.-Most
Democratic leaders admit the Roose-
welt majority in Tennessee this Fall
will not reach the 1882 proportions,
but unless the Republicans show more
strength than now, there is every in
dication that Roosevelt's lead will be
far above the normal $4,000 Demo-
cratic majority.
Tennessee was one of the few States
that participated in and profited by
the Triple-A in all its phases. Ten
nessee farmers took part in all of the
five major objectives, corn and hogs
cotton, wheat and tobacco. Tennessee
also has entered whole-heartedly into
the T. v. A. program, which has meant
millions to the State in money and
has kept thousands employed.

RALEIGH, N. c., July 11.-Any seri-

SWEEP FOR ROOSEVELT
IN VIRGINIA FORECAST
BY R L. C. BARRET.

RICHMOND, Va. July 1l.-Al-
though Henry w. Anderson, Repub-
lican leader. has claimed that 1886 will
see a repetition of the Republican vic
tory of 1928 in Virginia. there are so
far no indications to point to the full
filment of this prediction.
Not only is Gov. Landon lacking in
the prestige and publicity which caused
many Virginians to vote for Mr.. Hoo
yer in 1928, but the Kansas executive
is almost unknown in this State. Re-
publican leaders claim this is really
an asset, as the campaign this year
will be strictly for or against Roose-
welt, and that it makes no difference
who the Presidents opponent is SO
long as he is a man who has clean
and capable record.
One of the Presidents greatest assets
in the campaign this year is the States
prosperity. With industry booming as
it is and shortage of labor on the in
crease change to the Republican side
is not among the probabilities.

BOSTON, July 1.-THE course pur-
sued by Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, the
Detroit radio priest, may have an i'm

next United States Senator from Mas

At the moment, there is every indi-
cation that Gov. James M. Curley will
be the Democratic nominee, and that

CAMPAIGN JULY17
Democrats Get Two Weeks
Start-Hamilton Visit
Planned.
BY JOSEPH G. DEPONIA.

BALTIMORE, July 1.-THE presi-
dental campaign In Maryland will
open July II, with the Democrats
having two-week start on the Re-
publicans.
In issuing the call for next week
Joshua N. Warfield, chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
announced the campaign would get
under way Immediately after the
meeting. at which committees would
be appointed to conduct the campaign
for the reelection of President Roose-
velt.
The Republicans, on the other hand.
will not start their campaign until
July 81, when John D. M. Hamilton,
chairman of the national committee
and campaign manager for Gov. Lam
don, will come to Maryland to confer
with the State leaders of the G. o. P,
according to an announcement by
William P. Lawson, chairman OF the
State Central Committee.
While there is fight on between
Senator Millard E. Tydings and Mayor
Howard w. Jackson of Baltimore for
leadership of the Democratic party
in Maryland, both are solidly behind
President Roosevelt and the party,
both in the city and the counties.
On the Republican side things are
not so harmonious. While the regu-
lars, headed by Gov. Harry w. Nice,
plan to set up financial committee
to collect and distribute campaign
funds, the Maryland Committee, large
ly identified with the Liberty League
and composed of a number of influ-
ential Republicans, plans to send
collections to headquarters in Chi
cago. but to maintain control over
the distribution of that part of the
amount that is spent in Maryland.
Another factor that is said to be
causing considerable uneasiness in the
ranks of the regulars" is Just what
part Galen L. TAFT, former chairman
of the State Central Committee, will
play in the Landon-Knox campaign
in Maryland. This will probably be
decided by Hamilton when he comes
here to map out the campaign in the
State.

Father Coughlin and Gov. Curley
have been very good friends for sew
eral years, and 1t was generally as
sumed that there was an alliance be-
tween them until last week, when the
priest boldly stated that any one sup
porting President Roosevelt and the
New Deal could not be associated even
remotely with the Union party. Gov.
Curley already had taken the plunge
into the New Deal pool. and, accord
ingly, he was eliminated.
As Father Coughlin surveyed the

Eager Candidates
Rush Indiana Into
Early Campaign
BY WILLIAM l.. TOMS,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July IL.
Much to the displeasure of party
organization leaders, the 1896
Indiana campaign already is un-
der way and gaining momentum
as each week passes.
Were 1t to be left up to the
heads of the Democratic and Re-
publican State organizations in
Indiana, little would be done in
the way of campaigning until
after dog days, thus clearing the
way for a brief. peppy drive in the
eight or ten weeks preceding the
presidential election next Novem-
ber. That was what the party
generals decreed two years ago in
the senatorial contest, but the two
candidates simply would not re-
main hitched. AS it was, they
shuttled from one end of the State
to the other. keeping upward of
three speaking engagements a
day, ana wound up pretty fresh
themselves, but leaving their re-
spective organizations and the
voting public wearied of politics.
If there are more than two
major issues In the Indiana cam
paign this year, many observers
will be fooled. One, the big issue,
will be acceptance or rejection Of
the New Deal. In so far as the
State is concerned, retention Of
the gross income tax Is the prin-
cipal issue. t
