West Virginia Labor
On Record for Roosevelt
By LEO E. PETERS,

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. 12-
Labors part in the coming election
in West Virginia may we'll spell Sue
cess for the political party which
gains it's solid support.
All C. I. o. organizations, includ-
ing the powerful United Mine Work.
ers of America, with its more than
100 900 paid-up members, have gone
on record as supporting the Roose-
velt-Neely-Kilgore ticket in West
Virginia, block of votes which, no
doubt, the Republicans would give
their eye teeth to possess.
Leaders of the American Fedora
ton of Labor group are leaving such
matters, with a few exceptions, up
to local organizations. The West
Virginia federation recently went. on
record as opposing Senator Nicely,
candidate for Governor, without,
however, indorsing any other can
didate. However, since West Vir-
GINA may be said to be c. l. o.
stronghold, the action of the A. F. L..
body has comparatively little polit-
ical significance.

L. Willkie.
The Republican candidates trip
across the northern part of the State
was phenomenal in the enthusiasm
It aroused. Those Ohio observers
who joined his train at Detroit and
disembarked at Pittsburgh, of which
there were about half a dozen, re-
marked that the men who had been

ton, is proof enough to practically
all Ohio political observers that Mr..
WILKES Cleveland speech, espe-
cially, made its impression not only
here but in other parts of the Mid
die West. Analysis of the Presi-
dents invasion, especially Of his
Dayton address tonight, must wait
until manifestations of public opin-
ion are visible next week.
The two Statewide newspaper
polls being conducted in Ohio are
equally productive of an almost I'M
believable switch in rural votes,
especially, from the Democratic to
the Republican column. Other indi-
cation lies in the poor showing being
made by the Democratic guberna-
torial candidate. former Gov Mar
tin L. Davey. AS has been pointed
out before, however, the strength or
weakness of gubernatorial candi-
dates will not influence the vote for
President as much as in former
years, for by recent enactment of
the Legislature the presidential bal
lot has been separated from the
State and will be voted by itself.
Two significant incidents marked
Mr.. WILKES appearance in this
State. One was the courageous and
firing automobile trip he took
through go miles of factory districts
in and around Toledo, which, being
strongly c. I. o., were openly hos
tile to him. The other was the blow
he made against the New Deal lead
ership in his Cleveland address
charging it with laxity in providing
national defense. 1t is conceded
that the former changed few. if any,
organized labor votes from Presi-
dent Roosevelt, but it did make a
deep impression on the Ohio farm
vote, which in 1888 manifested its
strong dislike for the c. l. o. and
the shutdown strikes. The Cleveland
speech impressed urban and rural
voters alike.
Ohio largely is opposed to in
volvement in the European war. but
Is practically unanimous in its de-
sire to see the Nations defenses
strengthened.

New Hampshire Sees

Senator Moses Is Ill
Bv ]. ]. MCCARTHY,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

MANCHESTER, N. H., Oct. IA
Despite an intensive campaign by
New Hampshire Democrats, the old
Granite State, as far as political
observers can figure, is still leaning
strongly to the Republican ticket
and Wendell l.. Willkie is expected
to lead the G. o. P. to victory.
Hundreds of New Hampshire resi-
dents, not only Republicans but
Democrats, heard Mr.. Willkie
speak IN Boston Friday night.
Special trains were run and New
Hampshire had special section
in the stand.
Hundreds of New Hampshire
voters whose names appear on the
Communist party rolls have pro-
tested that they signed a petition
without knowledge of its character
and have asked their names to be
withdrawn. Under the State law
a minor party seeking place on
the ballot must present a petition
to the Secretary of State, signed
by at least 1000 names. The petition
as presented had l,l79, and appar.
emily one of the questions to be de-
cided is whether the later protest
has legal standing. The American
Legion and New England Yankees
Inc, are leading the protest against
the Communists and the method
used in securing names.
Former Senator George H. Moses
is reported seriously i'll at his home
in Concord. The former Senator
II, who was defeated for reelection
few years ago, had planned to take
an active part in the campaign.
Both the Republican and Demo-
cratic State Committees have
opened Offices and arranged inten-
sive campaigns from now until elec-
ton day. DR.. Robert o. Blood OF
Concord, Republican gubernatorial
nominee, and F. Clyde Keefe Of Do
yer, Democratic nominee, will speak
at rallies in all sections of the State,
as we'll as congressional nominees
and other candidates.

New Mexico Republicans
Fioht on Eastern Sector
BY A. N. MORGAN,


SANTA FE, N. Mex, Oct. 12.-Re-
publican campaigners now have
turned to the Democratic field for
votes.
It is undeniably greener, with
100000 registered Democrats to
$1,000 Republicans. The greenest
section is on the east side of the
State. Little Texas" There the
Republicans have been concen-
trating for a week or more.
Apparently they have read a
promising augury in the fact that
so per cent of the Democratic vote
in that part of the State retained
from taking part in the primary.
Considerable Willlkie sentiment Is
reported among the Democrats there.
The Democrats do not start their
campaign until October II.

needed her attention.
AS Santa Barbara society wom-
an, Mrs. Hoffman had taken a deep
interest in the community theater
just one of those things women do
to fill up time. 1t suddenly occurred
to her that it was something she
wanted to do more intensely, SO
she studied diction and acting as a
prelude to dropping down the coast
(92 magnificent miles, we remem-
ber) to Hollywood.
She didn't know a soul in the
place and she had not the slightest
idea of how to meet the proper peo-
pie. That made no difference, how
ever. She read a note in the news
paper that R-K-O was casting
Little Women and decided to drop
around and see them about job
That she had known the Alcott
family and the locale of the story
she figured might stand her in good
stead. 1t didn't, but the producer
was either nice enough or anxious
enough to get rid of her that she
suggested she see another producer
The second producer was Irving
Pichel and, without asking too many
questions, Mr.. Pichel gave her a
job.
Before Dawn" was the picture
and when a Paramount producer
saw it, he got in touch with Mrs
Hoffman and offered her a second
job.
Others followed in quick success
sion until Mrs. Hoffman became one
of the busiest character players in
Hollywood. Between parts, how
ever, she did find time to write the
story of how she crashed the movies
and it turned out to be such an in
spring and intelligent tale that one
of the more mammoth weekly maya
zines bought it.

moment is to play granddame parts,

she made the rounds of every studio
in Hollywood-and spent most of
her time posing in abbreviated
