McGrath, Democrat, of Georgia.
The States electoral votes are con-
ceded to Wendell Willkie.
Manager Of one of the State's
largest creameries, Mr.. McGrath is
probably the most popular farm

cratic banner in the gubernatorial
race. He is among the leaders in

While q Republican nomination

making their strongest bid in years.
Opposing Mr.. McGrath the Repub-
ncans have in Mr.. Wills one Of the
most popular Lieutenant Governors
in the States annals. An insur-

New Hampshire Looks

Special Dispatch to The Star.


MANCHESTER, N. H., Sept 81.
With the State primary a matter
of history, the two major parties
in New Hampshire are preparing for
their State conventions. The Re-
publicans meet Thursday in Con-
cord. while the Democrats gather
in Manchester. Both parties will
adopt their platforms and perfect

Tuesday has been set by the secre-

lots to decide the many ties in last

provision that in cases where such
deadlocks occur lots shall be drawn
by the secretary of State to de-
termine the winner. This does not
mean, however, that the result of
the drawing must necessarily be
final. The losing candidate may
still demand a recount of the ballots
If he so desires.
There were about 100 separate con-

Rhode Island Democrats
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Sept. al
The regular Republican leadership
in Rhode Island has settled upon
1t. Gov. James o. McManus as its
choice for the nomination for Sem
ator, a move calculated to bolster
the ticket in several ways and hold
an edge the party is apparently now
enjoying in popular favor.
Selection of Mr.. McManus to OPP
pose Senator Gerry-providing both
are nominated at their party con-
ventions the last of this month
represents a major effort in slate
making. 1t involved the withdrawal
of State Treasurer Thomas P.
Hazard, who had announced his
senatorial candidacy with the back
ing of Gov. William H. Vanderbilt.
The McManus candidacy has Gov.
Vanderbilt's approval.
A meeting of the Republican State
Committee this week was told by
skilled politicians, however, that
Senator Gerry cannot be beaten.
They openly charged that Mr.. Nc
Manus was being marked only for
sacrifice.
Intra-mural contests continue to
bedevil the Democratic effort to
unity and win. Mayor Thomas p
Mccoy of Pawtucket, q machine
politician with a history Of balance
of power operations within the
party, is repeatedly now flirting with
former Gov. Robert E. Quinn. Such
4 coalition would imperil the
chances for the nomination en-
joyed up to this time by former
United States Attorney ]. Howard
McGrath, choice of Senator Green
for the senatorial nomination. Mr.
Quinn still declines to reveal his
objective, but is storing up strength
for some move.
Particularly significant also is a
split among Democrats in the city
of Central Falls and the adjoining
town of Cumberland. The fight is
described as "the worst since 1902.
These are real key communities.
without them the State has never
gone Democratic.

Gov. james, Who Fought
WiIIkie Nomination,
Speoks for 6. or. Choice
BY CHARLES G. MILLER,

Special correspondent OF Inc 6tar.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. al
The fall campaigns of the two major
old parties, which have had their
Official" openings half . dozen times
during the summer In various county
political fights, actually started in
earnest this week in Pennsylvania.
The claim of Republican State
Chairman James r. Torrance that
Mr.. Willkie would carry the State
by 500, 900 in November was only half
matched by Democratic State Chair
man Meredith Meyers. who predicted
a substantial majority" for Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Senator Guhey,
however, made up for the Meyers
conservatism by declaring that the
Roosevelt majority would be larger
here than four years ago. In 1895
the President carried the State by
663 ,488.
The Republicans, confident that
that victory was the exception that
proves the rule, were considerably
more active this week than the
Democrats. Both have sent out
their caravans of sound trucks. the
Republicans including motion pic
lures of their own candidates for
the edification of the rural COM
munities that will not be visited by
the nominees themselves. State can
didates this week started county-by
county roundups of the voters, with
tours of the smaller towns in the
daytime and night meetings at the
county seats.
Republican enthusiasm was whipped
up here the last three days at the
annual session of the Young Repub-
leans of Pennsylvania. a gathering
that brought in most of the congress
sional, State senatorial, legislative
and other candidates. the county
chairmen and vice chairmen. They
interrupted their business sessions to
meet jointly with the Republican
State Committee, its Executive Com
mittee. the candidates and the local
chairmen. Later the Young Repub-
licans were hosts at dinner last night
for their elders, and Gov. Arthur H.
James, who as a candidate himself
had opposed the Willkle nomination
at Philadelphia, made his first speech
in Mr.. WILKES behalf
All elements of the party were
represented at the dinner but the
Associated Willkie Clubs of Penn
sylvania which. strictly speaking, is
not entirely Republican. William
H. Hartman, Philadelphia, State
chairman, is working in harmony

Third Term Becomes
Basic Issue in Ohio;
Splits Develop on Wal
Roosevelt Soon Must
Answer WiIIkie Attacks,
Is Growing Opinion
By L. r. Common.
Special Correspondent of Tn. Star


COLUMBUS. Ohio. Sept. 2l.-It
continues to become more and more
apparent in Ohio that the basic
issue in this presidential campaign
is the third term. Wendell WILKES
supporters differ in the warmth of
their support on other questions,
even being divided upon the sub
ject of his radio voice.
The so-called war" issue has not
jelled. Contrary to Mr.. Wilkes sup
port of the draft and the destroyer
transfer. several of the larger news
papers of the State. including the
Taft-owned Cincinnati Times-Star
and the Columbus Dispatch, have
opposed those measures. The Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, on the other
hand, which on the occasion of the
Elwood acceptance address made a
historic decision to oppose Mr..
Roosevelt and throw its support to
Mr.. Willkie. has agitated for even
greater help to England and has
asserted that the place of America
is in the war at the side of Britain.
Thus on the most important for
eign affairs issue the Ohio Willkie
support is split. This does not seem.
however, to have affected in the
least the almost universal decision
of Ohio newspapers to unite in OPP
position to a third term for Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The Cof1eyville speech was widely
approved in Ohio, both publicly in
formal editorial opinion and pri-
vately by individuals who listened
to it or read it. The only objection
voiced-and this was made of the
record in most instances-was that
the delivery was disappointing. The
content was warmly approved, how
ever, and the growing consensus
among Ohio political commentators
Is that Mr. Roosevelt cannot we'll
remain politically silent in face of
many more such attacks on his
record, his purposes and his faults.
Because the Ohio legislature this
last year made change in the cleo
ton laws which separates the ma
tional and State ballots, thus max
ing the presidential and guberna-
torial races separate. the contest for
Governor is not the factor it once
was in the presidential race. A
strong trend in one race is not so
likely to carry over into the other.
Mr.. Willkie cannot count as much
on the popularity of Governor Brick
er for aid as if the ballots had not
been separated. He will have to
win Ohio largely on his own merits.

Republicans Growing

In Connecticut
Apparently Feel State
Candidates Will Run

By ROBERT d. BYRNES,
Special Correspondent of The Star


HARTFORD, Conn, Sept. 21.-
Republicans have nominated State
ticket headed by Gov. Raymond E..
Baldwin, with Paul Lincoln Cornell,
former advertising agency execu-
tive, as the candidate for Senator
against Senator Maloney. Mr.. Cor
nell, who has been a resident OF
Connecticut only brief time, was
nominated by reclamation. but with
out the enthusiastic support OF
many delegates who felt the place
should have gone to some one with
a longer record of Connecticut Re
publicanism. They we're unable to
produce an outstanding candidate,
however, and those who entered the
race against Mr.. Cornell withdrew
before the nomination session.
AS its keynote speaker the State
convention heard Senator-elect
Brewster of Maine, who maintained
the Republican margin in the cleo
ton there indicated a victory for
Mr.. Willkie in November.
Despite this, opinion among the
delegates seemed to reflect a grow
ing pessimism on the chances Of
victory for the Republican national
ticket. They apparently felt that,
in Connecticut, the State candi-
dates will run ahead of Mr. Will
kie Immediately after the national
convention the feeling among the
Republicans was that Mr.. Willkie
would lead Gov Baldwin and his
colleagues.
Representative at Large Monkie-
wicz was nominated by reclamation,

naming Mayor Jasper McLevy,
Bridgeport Mayor, who polled 1866
900 votes for Governor in 1888 for

McLevy, taking the stand that the
party, which is opposed to the ma
tional group of the same designa-
ton led by Norman Thomas, could
not afford to join either of the
major parties, led successful move
ment to prevent Endorsement OF
President Roosevelt's candidacy. AS
result, no presidential electors
are on the McLevy ticket, and any
voter who wishes to vote for him
for Governor this year and also to
vote for presidential candidate will
be compelled to vote a split ticket.
