Ex-President Expected to

NEW YORK, July 2s.-Republican
leaders and close friends of Herbert
Hoover expressed belief today the
former President would make at least
two major addresses in the East in
behalf of the Landon ticket, one in
Maine and the other probably in
Pennsylvania.
In all, they expect M. Hoover to
deliver four or five speeches over
the country in the closing weeks OF
the campaign.
The former President, these sources
said, plans on coming to New York
for the directors meeting of the New
York Life Insurance Co. September 9.
Maine Date September Ia.
The Republicans will be winding up
their campaign for the Maine State
election of September II. Already
requests have been made for Mr..
Hoover's speaking services there.
The former President, according to
his friends and political associates
here, may 60 directly from the New
York meeting for the Maine address,
which would be made at the prin-
cipal Statewide rally closing the
State campaign.
Whether the former President would
remain in the East for the second
address, probably at Philadelphia, or
would return late in october was not
known 1t remains to be determined
at conferences of Republican leaders.
Late Period Favored.
Eastern leaders, 1t was said. would
rather have Mr.. Hoover make this
second address in the last week or so
OF the campaign, but the national
campaign plans or Mr.. Hoover's own
activities may not make this feasible.
One of the other contemplated ad-
dresses would be made in the Middle
West and another on the Pacific Coast.
Another possibility, it was said here,
was that Mr.. Hoover would make

DES MONIES, Iowa. October 10
The close battle between Republicans
and Democrats for Iowa's IL electoral
votes Is being waged with increasing
vigor as the campaign enters the
home stretch.
President Roosevelt made his second
visit to the State this week on tho
way to Denver. Colo. few days after
former Gov. Frank o. Lowden Of Illi-
nois placed his o. K. on Gov. Ian
don in Lowden's former home con-

of some Representatives. maintained
that Roosevelt would carry the State
regardless of those losses Secretary
Of Agriculture Wallace made a series
OF speeches in Iowa attacking the
Landon candidacy. and Senator L. j.
Dickinson answered the Wallace
claims.

The determination of both parties

is something new in the State For
many years all the attention Iowa
received from Republican national
headquarters was the sending in of
a few former Senator's or Governors
Democratic national headquarters
paid even less attention to the State.
This year Landon has made six
trips in the State; Roosevelt has been
in it twice, and probably will come
back again. and big guns of both
parties have made many speeches in
it, What the farm vote does prob
ably will tell the final story.

Landon is considered strong enough
in the cities and towns. except with
labor. to carry them sufficiently well
to win the State if he gets an even
break in the country. Lowden Is the

he would carry the State hands down.
The district in which the Repub-
licans expect to gain Representatives
are the sixth, seventh and ninth
They already have Representatives in
the third, fifth and eighth districts,
and are in no danger of losing them.
The second district, where the edge
is with the Democrats. may be close.
The first is leaning to the Democratic
incumbent. The fight in the fourth
is close enough that Wallace indorsed

DIVIDING BALLOTS
HITS DEMOCRATS
Failure Of Action to Touch
% Indiana Counties
Eases Effect.
BY WILLIAM L. LEWIS,
Special Correspondent of The Star,

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. October 10.
Some of the concern Indiana DEM
ocrats have been showing over their
own act of separating national and
State ballots is mitigated by the fact
the law does not apply in % of the
larger counties where voting ma
chimes will be used in November.
These counties. as usual, will pro-
duce the bulk of the State vote as
against the vote originating in the
other 70 smaller counties That the
vote for the State as a whole will be
the largest of all time is a relatively
safe prediction, in the light of the
heaviest registration in history. In
Marion County, seat of the State gov
ernment and the most populous
county in the entire State, a SO per
cent vote was registered and it is the
prediction of election officials that no
more than 10 per cent of these regis
trants will fail to vote on Novem-
ber 8.
1882 Precincts in 20 Counties.
One of the significant features of
the registration is that the heaviest
registration percentage invariably has
been in the larger counties. Alto
gether, the % voting machine coun-
ties of the State embrace a total of
1892 precincts out OF 1924 for the
entire State.
The commonest explanation for the
action Of the McNutt State admins
tration in separating the ballots is
that the Democrats at that time
feared the Roosevelt administration
might become drag" by 1896. Sub
sequent events proved the McNutt
administration wrong and the present
situation is the reverse of what was
expected.
For the Democrats the real blessing
now is the fact the ballot separation
act did not apply to the % voting
machine counties. Its application
was restricted to the 10 counties using
the Australian ballot.
On the machines this time, as
usual, the party candidates for presi-
Dental electors will appear on the
same row as the State ticket of each
party. The manual operation of pull
ing the lever to vote for Roosevelt
electors thus also casts a straight vote
for the Democratic State ticket unless
the voter wishes to scratch"

Five party tickets will appear on

These are the Republican party. the

SOUTH CAROLINA VOTER
REGISTRATIONS HEAVY
BY FRITZ HUGH McMASTER.
Special Correspondent OF The Star,

COLUMBIA, S. c., October TO-
There has been a larger registration
for the general election in South
Carolina than for many years. This
is true both Of the white Democrats
and the Negroes. and the latter this
year may be considered Democrats
for, almost without exception. those
registering declare intention to vote
for Roosevelt.
Whites are registering largely
through enthusiastic support for the
President. The general feeling is one
of expectancy for the reelection Of
President Roosevelt. but the assur-
ance is not so overwhelming as the
masses of the people would like 1t
to be.
The greatest activity among Demo.
Gratis Is raising contributions to the

SOUTH DAKOTA POLLS
SHOW LEAD FOR G. 0. P.
Democratic Leaders Persistent in
Denying Republican Victory

BY ALFRED BURKHOLDER,

oI AIR NED bUHhHOLDEhs
Special Correspondent of The Star.
SIOUX FALLS, S. Dak., October 10.
While national polls and straw votes
taken in South Dakota apparently
show South Dakota safely Republican,
State Democratic leaders are far from
conceding South Dakota will go that
way in November. These leaders,
chiefly Federal or State office holders,
are leaving no stone unturned to carry
the State again.
Democratic publicity agents are
flooding the newspapers with figures
on the many millions of dollars sent
into South Dakota by the Roosevelt
administration through the w. P. A.,
the P. w. A., benefits to farmers,
money loaned home owners and
drought relief. Democratic leaders
hint that voters who have benefited
in this way should remember their
friends in November.
Republicans in turn broadcast that
the money coming to the State be-
longs to all the people and that Re-
publicans as well as Democrats and
members Of other parties ultimately
will have to make up tie sums In In

The Republicans this year have

the Democrats was that at Charlotte

velt made "non-pblitical" speech.

visible evidence of numerical supe-
