NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
SPURRED IN ARIZONA
Republicans Claim Progress in
Winning Anti-New Deal
Democrat Support.
BY T. W. B. ANDERSON,

Special Correspondent of The Star.
PHOENIX, Ariz, September 10
With Arizona's hectic primary out Of
the way, Democratic and Republican
leaders are turning attention to the
National contest.
Roosevelt and Garner headquarters
in Phoenix, practically deserted during
the spirited State primary campaigns,
suddenly sprang to life and is now one
Of the busiest places in Phoenix. 1t is
in charge of w. C. Joyner, former
State game warden working under
direction of Charles E. Addams, State
highway commissioner supervising the
task Of keeping Arizona in the RooSe-
welt column next November.
Meanwhile, Republicans claim they
are making considerable progress in
lining up support from anti-New Deal
Democrats. An organization of anti
New Dealers was formed in Pima
County recently and the idea will be
sprung in other sections of the State.
Only three of the IL candidates for
Representative in Congress to succeed
Mrs. Isabella Greenway gave unquali-
fed Endorsement to New Deal policies.
They were defeated as was Brig. Gen.
Pelham D. Glassford. former Wash
ington, D. c., chief of police. Glass
ford, while complimenting a few acts
Of the national administration, was
critical of most of the Presidents

be foretold. The first hurdle to
be cleared is the appointment Of
new county chairmen. viii the men
named by Mr.. Greenleaf relinquish
their posts willingly or viii they at
tempt to hold on? This situation
contains the germs Of bitter factional
war. The State Committee, of course,
can authorize Mr.. Barnes to oust re-
calcitrant county officers, but how
ever this goes there will be sore spots.
While intraparty friction may serve
to cut down President Roosevelt's ex-
pected majority, there Is little chance
that he can lose the State. He figures
to get Kentucky's electoral votes no
matter who is managing the campaign.
Former Gov. Laffoon came out in
the open with an attack on the
Chandler administration in speech
before the Madisonville Kiwanis Club.
He accused his successor Of deceiving
the public with his tax program, abol-
ishing the Laffoon 8 per cent.sales tax
and replacing it with "the most out
rageous and iniquitous tax ever fos-
tered upon the State"

Special Correspondent of The Star.
RENO, New, September 19.-Unless
the Nevada New Deal machine is
stronger than Republican leaders
imagine, this State may 60 into the
Landon column next November. Re-
publican leaders believe the Democrats
are losing strength.
On the other hand, the New Dealers
do not seem worried and are not max
ing the intensive campaign one would
look for from a party supposed to
have Its back to the wall"
The haying season is on now and
fanchers cannot get help, even Indian
labor. High wages do not bring In
any labor for the hay fields, for the
workers, 1t seems, prefer work on W.
p. A. projects, with less hours and
less work, but in some instances more
pay than the ranchers can afford. It
is declared there will be much hun
ger when the Government runs out of
projects.
Democrats do not seem to be paying
much attention to Nevada, which has
only three electoral votes. Nevada
seems prosperous at the moment, but
It is question whether the New Deal
administration can keep 1t SO.
Although it cannot yet be said at
this time that Nevada Is going Re-
publican. 1t Is evident the Roosevelt
administration Is losing ground. II
@. o. p. leaders can maintain the
present rate of voter conversion they
cut down the Roosevelt majority
enough to send Nevada for Landon.

Gov. Clyde Tingley, having returned
from California where he has been
with his wife, who IS Ill, the Demo-
Gratis plan to open their campaign next
week, two weeks after the Republicans
took to the field.
Despite the belated start, the Demo-
Gratis will put on longer speaking
campaign than is customary in New
Mexico. Usually a little more than a
month Is the duration.
As their first objective the Repub-
licans started of in the Southeastern
counties Of the State, all Democratic
strongholds, and, according to reports
given out at their State headquarters,
the candidates, especially Judge Mig
uel A. Otero, jr., have been drawing
record-breaking crowds, If that means
anything.
The Republican attack, in so far as
it has been developed, is directed at
the New Deal in part. but chiefly on
Gov. Tingley, who has been charged
with issuing pardons in consideration
of votes, dominating the w. p. A. in
New Mexico and the injection of poll
tics into State educational and social
institutions.
Talk of fusion Of dissatisfied Demo-
Gratis with the Republicans continues
in several of the more populous coun-
ties.

|G0V. bRANN'S VOTE
personal TRIBUTE
Landon Majority in Maine
Expected to Exceed
Hoover's in '32.
BY SAM z. CONNER,
Special Correspondent of The StaY.


AUGUSTA, Me, September 19.-
There was little solace for the admin
istration In Mondays election. Care
full study Of the returns, by which
Senator Wallace H. White, jr, was re-
elected by approximately 5000 ma
jority over Gov. Louis j. Brann, the
Democratic candidate, shows nothing
to indicate q New Deal strength In the
State.
The Governors vote was, substan.
tally, q personal tribute to him, dis
play of his great personal popularity
throughout the State. It had been this
which he and every Democratic leader
in Maine had figured on to win him
the election. Any other Maine Demo-
crat running as the senatorial candi-
date would have been smothered by
White by majority as great, or
greater. than the 10000 by which
Lewis o. Barrows defeated Democratic
r. Harold Dubord for the governor
ship.
Brann throughout the campaign
carefully avoided taking a stand on
the New Deal. He confined himself to
State issues almost exclusively, while
his running mate, Dubord, came out
fat-footed for the New Deal. He in
dorsed it whole-heartedly, while Bar
rows, the successful Republican, de-
nounced 1t and urged it as a reason
for Dubord's defeat. Barrows won.
As to the significance of the elec-
ton result, there is but one inter-
probation to be made:
Landon electors will carry Maine
in November, and probably by a
greater majority than the State went
for Hoover in 1882.
Post mortems in an election are
rarely Of any account, but in the case
of this Maine election there are some
interesting conclusions to be reached.
Among these Is the effect of Gov.
Landon's visit to Maine one week ago
tonight. To the wisest politicians it
was practically nil. 1t neither helped
nor hurt the Republican cause.
The strategy of Gov. Brann in the
last 10 days Of the campaign was
poor. His first big error was when he
brought Gov. James A. Curley of Mas
sachusetts to Maine to speak In his
behalf. Maine has never liked Curley
and his speech unquestionably cost
Brann votes.
Next the Governor made a tour of
the State with Jack Dempsey, former
heavyweight champion, speaking to-
gether and urging Brann's election.
Maine folks admired Dempsey as q
fighter, but they didn't like to have
him advise them how to vote.
Finally, in the last 10 days of the
campaign the Governor took to shout.
ing his own praise, which was re-
sented by many voters.

.LANDON EFFECTS
JERSEY HARMONY
Hoffman Faction Agrees to
Back Kansan After Train
Conference.
BY EDWARD M. GILROY.
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

TRENTON, N. j., September 19.-
Gov. Landon's brief visit in New Jersey
on the way to his Maine speech ap-
pears to have gone long way toward
effecting harmony among the various
Republican factions. For the first time
since the campaign got under way Gov.
Harold G. Hoffman and his followers
seem to be as enthusiastic for the ma
tional ticket as are the supporters Of
the Essex clean-government organiza-
ton.
Landon rode through the State
without making any speeches, but he
conferred with all representative Re-
publican leaders. Both Gov. Hoffman
and Walter E. Edge, former Ambassa-
dor and the Republican campaign
manager, got up early to board Lam
don's train here at 7:30 am. and rode
on to New York. The Governor and
Edge, who have not been enthusiastic
friends since the Cleveland convention,
were the first to see Landon and had
a long conversation. Other leaders
were admitted later.
Understanding on Recognition.
Reports are the Governor reached
an understanding with Landon on
party recognition. The Governor, who
heads the most powerful Republican
organization in the State. has been in
the background of the Landon move
ment in New Jersey. Arthur T. VAN
derbilt, Essex leader: Edge and others
worked closely with the Iandon man
ayers at the Cleveland convention
while the Governor and his followers
did little.
While no statements were made
about the conference, belief is the
Governor wanted some measure Of
recognition by Landon as Republican
State leader. That assurance was given
by Landon the Governor would not be
thrust aside is seen in announcement
that Gov Hoffman and Landon will
have private conference within a few
days at Topeka. This is the first occa-
sion in which the Governor has had
any close association with the Landon
camp.
Appearance Plans Hailed.
Republicans are enthusiastic over
the agreement by Landon to make a
major appearance here. Early ef-
forts of leaders to obtain a date for
a Landon rally were unsuccessful. but
both Gov. Hoffman and Edge were
assured the candidate would be avail
able late in October. Probabilities
are Landon will speak here the day
before or the day following his Octo-
Der 20 speech in New York.
Paralleling President Roosevelt's
own campaigning. the Democratic
organization here is avoiding all is
sues for the present. The Demo-
Gratis, feeling the burden Of attack is
on the Republicans. are ignoring
speaking campaigns and putting all
their time on party organization.
Their campaign will be an intensive
five-week drive before election, built
around an automobile tour Of the
State by William H. Smathers, Demo-
cratic nominee for United States
Senator.
