Alabama S Stand Sure,
Even Without 6. 0. P. Riff
BY J. F. ROTHERMEL.
enecisI Correspondent of The Star

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Oct. IL
The 1910 presidential campaign In
Alabama is beginning to assume
normal condition of apathy. The
furry at the beginning of the cam
paign, when a lot of Willkie money
began to flow. has pretty we'll sub
sided, as both sides are realizing
that there is not a question this
year of the States deserving its &C
customed Democratic position.
The current spotlight is taken
over by an undercover but bitter
rift in Republican circles. 1t arises
from the fact that 9 Of the II Re-
publican electors are best described
as men formerly identified with the
Democratic party. Some were
nominal Democratic as late as the
beginning of the present campaign.
The II electors were chosen by
the State Republican Executive
Committee. and the so-called Will
kiecrats were presumably included
to entice additional wavering voters
from the Democratic fold. How sue
cessful that plan will be awaits
November S. but it Unexpectedly has
created a feeling on the part Of
some old-line Republicans in the
State that they have been sold
down the river.

workers in both major parties have
redoubled their efforts since COM

Quoted by the Hutchinson News
Herald. While this poll samples
the vote only in the 80 counties in
the southwest corner OF the State,
it proved remarkably accurate in
1882 and again in 1896. Both times
it forecast within a few thousand
votes the Roosevelt majority in the
State as a whole.
In 1896, for instance, 1t foretold
that President Roosevelt would
carry the district and the State by
S. per cent. The actual vote in
November gave President Roosevelt
"a. In the 1886 poll President
Roosevelt led in all but four of the
32' counties. In the poll just COM
pleted Wendell L. Willkie carried %,
tied President Roosevelt in three
and lost six.
On that basis Mr.. Willkie will
carry the whole State by from go 900
to 10000, the Republican statisti-
clans declare. Gov. Rather, run
ming for reelection, will defeat his
Democratic opponent, w. H. Burke,
by not less than $4,000.
The Democrats are starting an
intensified campaign to Offset the
trend. Charles E. Young, Demo-
cratic State chairman, has renewed
his appeal for distribution Of farm
allotment checks before November
