ROOSEVELT LIKELY
MISSOURI VICTOR
Odds Declared Against Lam
don, Although President Will
Not Have 1892 Margin.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,
STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. October 2o.-
The odds against Landon in Missouri
look to be too heavy for the Republi-
can presidential nominee to overcome
The State is likely to give its electoral
votes to President Roosevelt, though
by very greatly reduced plurality
from the 100000 which he had over
Herbert Hoover in 1882
Missouri is sick of dirty politics and
the Pendergast Democratic machine.
But sick or no. unless there Is a tre-
mendous political upheaval, Missouri
will turn in for Roosevelt. probably by
100000 to 10000. Despite the COM
plications in the Democratic party
over the gubernatorial contest, and
despite the distaste which the great
rural section of the State has for Tom
Pendergast. the Kansas City boss, who
has sought to extend his power over
all Missouri, the Roosevelt sentiment
still prevails.
Both Kansas City and ST. Louis
at opposite ends of the State-have
larger registration Of voters than ever
before in their history. The great in
terest in the election is reflected in
the increased registration throughout
the State. In Kansas City. with a
population of 4l7,000, there are $4,000
registered voters, and in st. Louis,
where the population is $50. 900. the
total registration of voters is 427, 600.
Democratic Units Efficient.
Frequently large increases in regis
tration mean a protest vote, the people
are out to kick somebody around. Re-
publicans, however, admit that in these
big Missouri cities the Democratic
organizations have been very efficient
and that probably much Of the regis
tration increases have been due to the
work Of the organization. Indeed, the
Republicans themselves have been very
active in getting out new registered
voters.
In the old days st. Louis was Re-
publican stronghold, while Kansas
City was usually Overwhelmingly
Democratic. st. Louis, however, fell
by the wayside in 1882, from the G. o.
P. point of view, and it now has a
Democratic municipal administration.
The brewers are grateful to Roosevelt
for giving them back their beer. While
Landon has insisted that national
prohibition is a closed issue and that
there is no chance of its being brought
to the fore, the fact that he halls
from traditionally dry Kansas is being
used against him in st. Louis and other
wet centers of population. Instead OF
turning in a Republican majority Of
80 900 to 10000, st. Louis is likely to
