DES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. Two
factors In political behavior hold the
attention of rival campaign organi-
cations in Iowa as they square away
for intensive battling to carry the
State November 5.
First is the agricultural vote
which the Democrats have held
strongly enough for President Roose-
welt to carry the State in the last
two elections.
Second is the traditional Republi-
canism of the State, which returned
in the 1888 by-election and was as
serted even more strongly in the spe-
cial congressional erection in the
sixth district-the States largest
last March.
Democrats privately concede that
they probably could not carry Iowa
for President Roosevelt now. They
believe that they will come from
behind again in the next two months
as they feel they have done before
Polls now indicate Iowa is Republi-
can by anywhere from 100000 to
200, 1000.
Republicans do not have to get q
majority of the farm vote to carry

cratic registration, but which in the
% years since statehood has given
its three electoral votes to three
Republican presidential nominees

Nomination of Wendell L. Will
kie by the G. o. P. injected new
life into the Republican party in
Arizona. bringing out a full State
ticket for. the first time in several
years.
President Roosevelt is unusually
popular, even though some of the
old-line Democratic leaders such as
Writ G. Bowman, former national
committeeman, and Dr.. John E. Ba-
con. former State chairman, op-
posed his nomination for a third
term. He carried the State in 1882
by vote of more than 2 to /,
which was increased to almost 9 to
l in 1896. Nevertheless there is an
undercurrent of dissatisfaction, prin-
cipally among businessmen, over
many New Deal policies. Willkie
buttons, including those with the
slogan: Il am Democrat for Will
kie," are as widely worn by Ari-
zonans as are Roosevelt buttons.
Most of Arizona's political inter-
est these days is centered in the
State primary next Tuesday. Sena-
tor Ashurst, chairman of the Sem
ate Judiciary Committee, is up for
denomination. His opponents are
Judge Ernest w. Mcfarland of the
Pinal County Superior Court, Hem
derson Stockton. Phoenix attorney,
and Robert E. Miller, Phoenix phar-
macist.

Iowa Democrats, Trailing Now,
See Garrison Finish Victory
Farm Vote and Traditional RepubIconism
OF fStute Are Chief Factors early in Campaign

the State. They win when the farm
vote splits evenly. This is a year
when Republicans hope to get better
than an even break on the farms,
and the Democrats hope that the
vice presidential candidacy of Henry
A. Wallace will get them the ap-
proximately so per cent of the farm
vote which wins for them.
Secretary Wallace vas an asset to
the Democratic ticket in Iowa
Whether Henry Wallace, the vice
presidential nominee, is an asset is
in dispute among Republicans, at
least, since his acceptance speech,
in which he implied that the presi-
DENTAL contest is between Roosevelt
and Hitler.
The agricultural speech by Wen
dell L. Willkie at Sioux City late this
month will determine whether the
Republicans can recapture enough OF
the farm vote to hold the State. Mr.
Willkie is popular in Iowa, though
not widely known. 1t is regarded as
significant that two places he will
visit this month, Sioux City, in the
ninth district, and Davenport, in the
second district, are the ones In which
the Republicans have been weak
since 1882.

.WiIIkie Clubs Unlikely
To Shift Arkansas Vote
pecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. T.
Although little activity has been
noted in the presidential campaign
in Arkansas as yet, interest began
to pick up this week Arkansas is
dominantly Democratic. but several
"Democrats-fo -Willkie" clubs have
been organized throughout the
State, and indications are that the
Republicans will put up a strong
fight to win the votes of dissatisfied
Democrats.
There is some opposition to third
termers, as indicated in the recent
Democratic primary, when Gov. Carl
E. Bailey, seeking his third term,
was easily defeated by Homer Ad-
kins. Conversations with "the man
on the street" indicate that many
will support Wendell L. Willkfe on
this account. However, there seems
to be little doubt that Arkansas
will stick in the Democratic column
unless something unforeseen de-
velops between now and election
time.

North Carolina Boilers

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RALEIGH. N. c., Sept. 7.--Despite
some enthusiasm in both camps, the
political campaign is receiving a
slow start in North Carolina. The
general expectation among observers
is that the State will be safely in the
Democratic column as usual, with
the margin somewhat reduced under
that of 1886.
Immediately after the Repub-
lican National Convention there was
considerable talk of widespread
Democratic detection. That move
ment has failed to develop into or
ganized effort as yet. John w
Hanes, former Undersecretary of the
Treasury, who is actively working
for Wendell L. Willkie, is q ma
tive of this State but not a po-
itical factor here. The situation
so far. is in marked contrast to
that of 1928, when the. State last
went Republican.

BURLINGTON, VT, Sept. t.
Holding the political spotlight in
Vermont is the race between Gov
George D. Aiken and Ralph E.
Flanders, industrialist, for the Re-
publican nomination for Senator In
Tuesdays primary.
Gov. Aiken has held office for two
terms, stanch Republican, but ma
tionally known as a critic of G. O.
p. policies. A champion of States
rights, he has vigorously and sue
cessfully opposed land acquisition
plans in a Federal project for Con-
necticut Valley flood control. He
faces great opposition from his erst-
while political adviser, Mr., Flanders,
who has the support of large business
interests.

Republicans Are Given
Edge in Rhode Island
Special Dispatch to The Star.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Sept. u
Rhode Island, leaning Republican by
public and private nese-counting,
finds more money in its State treas
ury and more money IN the indi-
vidual pocket after 20 months of adj
ministration py Gov William H.
Vanderbilt. On these circumstances,
notable among others the Governor
and his colleagues will seek to base
another Republican victory in No.
yember.
Their opposition will tee of Mon
day, when, for the first time in many
years. Senator Gerry addresses the
annual Democratic clambake. which
biennially launches the party's cam
paign. His temperance is taken
as dependable indication that oppo-
sition to his denomination has been
quelled. A successful Democratic
vote-getter in the past, he is ex-
pected this year to be the beneficiary
also Of widespread Republican admi-
ration for his conservative. fre.
quently anti-New Deal record In Of
f1ce. The rest of the ticket, wher-
ever the nominations 90, will repre-
sent whole-hog support Of Roosevelt
policies. ..-,..
That the financial policies of the
Vanderbilt administration will be an
important point in the Republican
campaign has already been made
plain. The Governor also is in-close
relation with the Willkie movement,
having been the first Governor to in
dorse the Republican nominee. Will
kie sentiment was strong in Rhode
Island just before the Philadelphia
convention. There was a long pc
riod of inactivity then. Within the
last week the Associated, Willkis
Clubs have launched campaign to
organize 210 units. .-..vl

g. 0. P. 10 Gain in Ohio
Over '3S, but Victory
Is a Moot Question
Third Term Is Greatest
Of Three Fuctors
Presueing Big Turnout
By L. r. O'CONNOR,


COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. THE
Republican gains made in Ohio in
1888, when the State elected a Re-
publican Governor and sent IA Re-
publican Representatives of its total
of "a to Congress, are expected to
be maintained and even enlarged
this coming November.
Despite the tendency amcng so
many observers to see a continual
ton of this 1888 trend away from
the New Deal, it Is too early to say
that either President Roosevelt or
Wendell L. Willkie is sure of VIC
tory in the State. There are at least
three factors, however, that indicate
strong Republican turnout.
One of them is negative and lies
In the lack of any widespread con-
Germ over the outcome Of the guber-
material race. Gov. John w. Bricker
who won handily over his Demo-
cratic opponent two years ago, is
opposed for reelection this year by
former Gov. Martin L. Davey, who
still is handicapped by the 1888 split
in the party when he was denied
even denomination for Governor by
his fellow Democrats. They pre-
ferred National Committeeman
Charles Sawyer. The scars of the
battle between Mr.. Davey and Mr..
Sawyer have not yet healed.
War Issue Prominent.
The second factor is the so-called
war issue. Opinion here is solidly
behind an effective defense program
for the Nation, but seemingly is far
less favorable toward such questions
as CONSUMPTION and full aid for Eng
land than it is in the East.
In most of the rural areas and
in even some of the larger COM
munities isolation sentiment and
sentiment against conscripted
Army are vociferous and probably
numerically strong.
1t is conceded. however, that in
the event of Englands surrender or
some other equally grave develop
ment that would dramatic the war
crisis, opposition to the Roosevelt
war" program might dwindle con-
siderably.
The third term issue is at this
time the third and probably the
most clean-cut factor. This Is re-
f1ected in the fact that not since
1916, when President Wilson was
running for reelection and the
newspapers of the State almost
solidly supported him, has there
been such unanimity of the press
on national political question.
Metropolitan Papers Opposed
Practically all the big city papers
are opposed to the third term. The
Cleveland Plain Dealers dramatic
front page announcement of its
withdrawal of support for Mr..
Roosevelt after 100 years of sup
porting Democratic candidates for
President and going unreservedly for
Mr.. Willkie typifies much of the
published expression in Ohio, both
in rural and urban centers. The
third term has been too much for
many conservative Democrats to
swallow.
Thus the situation in Ohio may
at this writing be summarized: ::
There is nothing spectacular enough
about the race for Governor to have
a vital bearing on the national ticket.
The so-called war issue Is so far
largely academic. But the third
term is a concrete issue on which
the voters seemingly have made up
their minds.

With warm days taking their

bug injecting the swingin' arm of
adherents to the sport, were bring
ing about other tangible efforts in
the Country Club with launching of
the membership drive the first i'm
portant business Of the 1910 season.
"The golf course is a defin-
ite community asset" DIR. j. f.
Dubois, chairman, said Monday
as he prepared to send his COM
mittee of IL into the field.
Letters to each committee worker
went out early this week, and a
report of early work on the COM
mittee is expected to be made next
Monday evening at a meeting sub
ject to call from president of the
club, DR.. M. G.. Franta.
1.-The feeling that a golf course
should be sustained by those who
play alone loses some of it's force"
he said, when you consider that
it is a drawing card for summer
visitors"
He explained that it should be
the responsibility Of everyone to see
that the course is maintained in
Sank Centre because it's one of the
big pulls for certain class of tour
list. It would certainly "be a def
mite black eye if we lost it" he
pointed out.
Committee members will contact
prospective members during the
week. Those who feel not enough
interest in the game to purchase
a full membership, are certainly
welcome, the committee feels, to
make some kind of contribution.
Committee members are as follows:
Floyd Fetherhuff, Vic S:eben, Bob
Rydholm, Phil Steiner, Cliff Gand-
rud, Mrs. Gene Harvey, Mrs. Harry
Hamilton, Jr., Mrs. Phil Steiner,
Mrs. Pat Dubois, of this city, DR..

The course was alive with the

ing any phenomenal scores, but
it is reported that the day
found people at every cup. 1t
looked like a tournament day
in the summer. With COM
mittee appointments made for
the 1910 season by President

drives and tournament schedul-
ing are expected to get under

Before you run around crying in

donkeys are well shod with tennis
shoes. And no damage can come
to the floor. Dave Hooper has
consented to be captain and choose

precinct to make up one team. A
group from the faculty and bust
nessmen are to be enlisted as an
other. And the thing looks like
a gold mine Of entertainment. i.

It's next Tuesday at 8:15 at

Sank Centre, it appears, will
again have it's summer recreation
program that thins the streets of
the youngsters and congregates
them in the City Park. Last
week the Board of Education, CO.
sponsor of the movement with the
City Council, okayed the program
as outlined by director Gene Har-
vey. The Council has as yet TAX
en- no action on the program, but
it's probable that they will. The
program is among the recommen-
dations made to the reorganized
Council last week by Mayor
SchwarZbauer. =.
Harvey says that this year
the program, If completely
okayed of course, will begin the
first or second week in June
depending on the weather. It's
going to run for six weeks,
combining much of the pro-
gram that was SO popular
year ago. Last year the
program wound UP in August
with q picnic, in which the
Welfare Council tossed in its
hand, and 288 youngsters of the
city had one whale of a time.
It was examination time, too,
for that evening parents flock
ed to the Park to see what
Junior had been doing all sum-
mer. They found Junior
had been doing all right, par
entail vest buttons strained. =.
I think it a highly interesting
comparison that the program was
five times more popular in 1889
than in 1887 It doesn't prove
there are more kids; it proves there
was more interest and a more var
led program. In 1889 the registra-
tions marched to 14,140, represent
ing about 300 individual young peo-
pie. Now when you put 300
kids in that Park every day for
six weeks, you're accomplishing a
lot in the proper use Of leisure
time which seems to be such a
bugaboo today. b. Providing the
program goes all the way, Mr.. and
Mrs. Harvey are directors, and
WPA leadership will be at their
disposal, correlating activity. :.
Swimming is the most popular sin
gle event and during the season it
registered the high tally of 1920.
The average weekly participation
for all activities was 1857. -. The
program moves into it's fourth year
this season, is one of the best youth
promotion ideas yet put out by this
hamlet, and last year the program
according to WPA advice, stacked
up with the best in the state. /. :.
Spring football at the school
is going to sit on the sidelines
awhile. Coaches aren't over
anxious to get into 1t, because
their practices are pared, by
statute of the West Central
Conference, to Is. And they
want every one to count.
There's little additional mat
ter that you fans will be inter-
ested in. They're going up
town this year and offer an in
ter-squad game that should be
high I'm interest. Track gets
it start this week with calls
