Wilkes Michigan Trip
Has $3.50 Results
BY H. c. GARRISON,


DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 12-Mich-
igan Republicans just now are
busily attempting to assay the re-
suits of Wendell L. WILKES tour
here. They contend-and hope
that the visit was sufficient to break
the deadlock in this doubtful State
The Democrats on the other hand
profess to believe 1t was a complete
failure.
1t probably was neither failure
nor 10-strike. A careful and I'M
biased survey would seem to indicate
that Mr.. WILKES visit was more
fruitful than was the VIGOROUSLY
unsuccessful visit of ALT M. Landon
four years ago. but that it was
nothing to write home about.
1t was not so much that Mr.. Will
kie and his party on two or three
occasions were targets for barnyard
and garden produce. That only
meant that the art of raising chill
dren apparently is lost one, be-
cause the missiles came from the
hands of under trained bratS. What
really mattered was that the Re-
publican organization was not able
to fill a 16,000-seat auditorium in
Detroit. Crowds in Pontiac and
Flint were stiff and unresponsive.
Plans for a big meeting of factory
workers in Lansing Topped. But
Grand Rapids-there was meet
ing! Crowds there were enthusiastic.

WiI|kie Expected 10 GET
Nebraska S German Vote
BY ROBERT LASCH,
Ii.y N~..s~nnS.ut ~ rrha 0ts

OMAHA, Nebr., Oct 12.-With a
population of 1918. 900, Nebraska has
1884 citizens who were born IN
Germany, and 70 232 both of whose
parents were born there. Altogether,
the Nebraskans who were born in
Germany or who have at least one
German-born parent number about
IL per cent of the total population.
Consequently the German vote"
becomes an item to be considered in
political calculations. Generally pol
iticians figure it may account for
around $4,000 ballots In elections
where the total vote runs about $780,
900 this may at times be decisive.
Most observers expect the German
vote this year. to go against Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The Omaha Trib-
une, a German-language newspaper,
carried on a vigorous editorial cam
paign year ago against amending
the Neutrality Act to permit aid to
Britain, and it is presumed that the
hostility to President Roosevelt evil
dent at that time still goes.
This week the American
Citizens League, headed by Val
Peter, publisher Of the Tribune, pub
lished a statement reaf11rming its
"unfaltering faith in the American
form of representative government"
and regulating both Communism
and totalitarianism as alien to our
American form of government" The
resolution deplored such groups as
the Amerikadeutscher Volksbund

Secretary of State Rawson C. Myrick

Mr.. Schirmer cannot get his name

0kIahomans Will Vote
On Dry Law Repeater
BY OTIS SULLIvANT,


OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. l2.-Ok-
lahoma Democrats are concentrating
upon Southern rock-ribbed Demo-
cratic counties to get the voters to
the polls November 5. They will be
aided by a proposed constitutional
amendment to legalize liquor in
Oklahoma and eliminate one Of the
two remaining dry States.
Prohibition repeal was defeated
four years ago and apparently is
doomed to failure this year as 1t
must receive a majority of all votes
cast in the general election to be
adopted. That means failure to
vote is half vote against it, and
the silent vote is expected to de-
feat it even if it receives a majority
of those voting on 1t, which is
doubtful.
AS the campaign enters the last
three weeks Democrats are striving
to roll up a majority approaching
the 255,O00 given them four wears
ago. The Republicans have con-
quered some of their defeatism by
waging an intensive campaign in
face of the long odds in favor Of
President Roosevelt.

North Carolina Democrats
Solve Money Problem
BY ROBERT E. WILLIAMS,

special Correspondent OF Inc StaI.
RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. 12.-North
Carolina Democrats have never
worried much about votes this year.
Now they profess to have lost the
only worry they have ever had,
that about ability to finance a third
term campaign.
Heretofore business men in the
State have seen to it that Demo-
cratic campaigns we're financed ade-
quately. This year party leaders
feared their usual contributors
would balk. Many of them did.
However, Democratic leaders are
no longer worried. Representative
Folger is regarded as having made
a ten-strike in the selection of a
State director for the Democratic
National Committee. The director
Is Richard J. Reynolds, son of the
founder of the R. j. Reynolds To-
becco Co. Mr.. Reynolds has not
only contributed freely of his own
time and money, he has induced
others to. Since he came it has
been difficult to locate Democratic
politician who was not smiling
broadly.
At present the only speculation
about North Carolina is in connec-
ton with the size Of President
Roosevelt's majority. which is still
expected to fall below that of 1886,
but not ~ far - was anticipated
earlier.

WiI|kie Tour a Tonic
To New Jersey G.0.P.;
Hague Is the Big Issue
Republicans Making Most
Of Poll Books Burning
Just Before Examination
By EDWARD NJ. GILROY,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

TRENTON, N. j., Oct. 12.-The
entire New Jersey Republican cam
paign experienced a sharp uplift
this week from Wendell l.. WILKES
tour through the metropolitan
areas and his assault on Mayor
Frank Hague as one of President
Roosevelts closest advisers
Leaders from Bergen, Passaic and
Essex Counties talked Of old-time
Republican pluralities after Mr..
Wilkes automobile tour. Mr.. Will
kie saw more people in New Jersey
in a 12-hour stay and covered more
territory than any presidential cam
didate in recent memory. His prin-
cipal speech at Newark, broadcast
over a Nation wide hookup, was
directed almost entirely at Mayor
Hague and his Hudson Democratic
machine-the principal issue in New
jersey politics today.
Appeals by Mr.. Willkie for cleo
ton of Robert c. Hendrickson. can
didate for Governor, and OF Senator
Barbour gave their candidates. a
personal Endorsement that is ex-
pected to combat the spreading talk
of Willkie for President and Charles
Edison, Democrat, for Governor.
Mr.. WILKES New Jersey speeches
were the first time in many years
that any presidential candidate has
devoted himself to State issues at
the expense of national discussion.
Mr.. Willkie raised Mayor Hague's
support of President Roosevelt to a
major national issue, referring to
Mayor Hague as "a welcome visitor
at the White House" That assault
proved a tonic for the New Jersey
Republican organization. One i'm
mediate effect was an increase in
registration in Republican areas.
Democratic candidates by contrast
were on the defensive as result Of
the destruction Of the 1886 and 1887
poll books by Mayor Hagues organ
ization. Mr. Edison condemned
burning of the poll books but never
mentioned Mayor Hague's name.
Senator Hendrickson countered by
saying Mr.. Edison was afraid to
ALLEVIATE Mayor Hague's support.
James H. R. Cromwell, Democratic
nominee for Senator, disapproved
the poll-book burning several days
later and mentioned Mayor Hague's
name along with those of several
Republican leaders who have been
involved, or mentioned. in other
election disputes. But the burning
of the poll books by the Hague ma
chine at a time when Republican
election officials planned, to COM
pare signatures In the books with
those when the voters were regis
tered has given the Republicans a
major issue and compelled the
Democrats to do some explaining.

WiI|kie Enthusiasm
Climbs in New York
After Candidate Talks
State Highly Uncertain;
Registration Figures
Closely Watched
BY a Special Correspondent Of The Star.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE major
political development in New York
State this week was a resurgence of
enthusiasm among Republican ranks
as Wendell L. Willkie followed up his
personal appearance campaign in
New York City last week end with a
detailed upstate tour starting to-
day in Albany,
The Republican presidential NOM
inee, completely changing the pace
of his campaign. shifted from philo-
sophical generalities to a direct
smashing attack on the President,
his New Deal administration and the
Democratic political bosses. He
stormed the Democratic strongholds
of Brooklyn. Manhattan and the
Bronx last Saturday and Tuesday
in the most extensive campaign
ever conducted in the city by presi-
Dental nominee. Eleven speeches
and two radio talks in two days
marked the opening of his drive to
capture the States important Al
electoral votes.
The reaction here to Mr. Willkie' s
speeches, in which he dashed out at
the President and "bossism," was
exceedingly good, but if his tour of
the city served no other purpose 1t
had the effect Of instilling renewed
enthusiasm and revived hopes of his
supporters who had been worried
about the slump during September.
AS a result, the State must still be
listed as one of the outstanding
doubtful ones. At present, the En-
pire State is "a horse race" with
neither side having any particular
decisive advantage and with the
final outcome probably in doubt
right down to the finish.
To date, the Democrats have ap-
peared to be overconf1dent and have
engaged in hardly any actual cam
paigning. The State organization
apparently has followed the example
of the President and has been
blithely ignoring the Republican
campaign. This procedure, however
is gradually being pushed aside as
the Democratic organization realizes
it has a real fight on its hands.
Both Republicans and Democrats
kept close watch on the figures for
the first four days of registration
in the city during the week. Due to
the Jewish holidays over the week
end, the registration will not be
completed until Tuesday and final
figures, therefore, are not available
But from figures to date. 1t is esti-
mated an all-time record figure OF
over 100000 registrations will be
reached.
While both sides contend that
they will be helped by large regis
tration, it would appear from an i'm
partial standpoint that the Repub-
leans will probably benefit more
than the Democrats. The Republi-
cans have been centering much Of
their pre-registration efforts on an
attempt to get out the so-called
"stay-at-home" voters who, it is be-
lieved. are more inclined to vote Re-
publican than Democratic.

Delaware Democratic
Split Virtually Ruins
Chance 10 Garry State
Regulars Refuse to Let
Liberal Foction Name
Identical Electors
BY G. E. GRAY,
Special CORRESPONDENT of The Star


WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. a.
The organization of the Liberal
Democratic party, split from the
regular organization in Delaware,
is seen as almost destroying what
chance the Democrats may have
had of carrying the State for Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Although a full slate has been
named, the ballot will not contain
the names of the presidential elec-
tors on the regular Democratic
ticket. 1t was planned by the bolt
ers to have the same electors on
both tickets, but after the regular
electors had also been selected by
the party headed by former Rep
resentative w. F. Allen, candidate
for Senator, they all refused to al
low their names on the third party
ballot.
This puts the Liberal Democrats
in an embarrassing situation. A
ticket without electors would be
giving aid to the Republicans. If
another set of electors were named
there would be a division of the
Democratic vote.
An effort is being made to enlist
the aid of the Democratic National
Committee. The new ticket mer
will ask that pressure be brought
on the Delaware Democratic party
to allow its electors to go on the
third party ticket.
One of the arguments is that
those in charge of the recognized
Democratic body have not been &C
tive in furthering the New Deal
policies of the President. This is
denied by organization men, who
say the new party leaders are seek
ing revenge after they have been
beaten in q political feud of long
standing and that If the State is
lost to the Democrats because of
third party activities the boilers
must take the blame.
There has been little change In
the Republican situation.
