Utah Primary Shows
Democrats Keep Lead
By FRANK PAGE STEWART,
en..,.I r,rrssnondsnt At The Atar.


SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, Oct.
5.-Philo T. Farnsworth, Salt Lake
City lawyer. has been nominated by
Utah Republicans to oppose his
cousin. Representative Murdock, for
the Senate. The run-of primary
was Tuesday. Mr.. Murdock was
nominated by his party at the first
primary, receiving substantial ma
jority over all his opponents COM
bined. Some Republicans expressed
the opinion they could elect Mr..
Farnsworth if they got help from
the national ticket. However, the
primary vote Tuesday, which COM
pleted the nomination for both
tickets, showed q Democratic vote
lead of nearly two to one.
Herbert B. Nav, Progressive can
didate for the Democratic nomina.
ton for Governor, led Henry D.
Moyle, who carried State admins
tration support, by wide margin.
Don B. Cotton, former Representa-
tive, was nominated for Governor
by the Republicans, winning over
Reed Stevens by a narrow margin.
Mr.. Cotton will not draw Democratic
votes, as he is decidedly partisan.
Unless there is a decided upset in
the national outlook, Nav should
lead his entire State ticket to VIC
tory in November.

Indiana Doubtful Voters
As Numerous as in 1882
By WILLIAM L. TOMS,
.,..,.I corr..,ond.nt Of The Star.

Special Correspondent OF Inc etAl
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. S. Two
mine run major political organiza-
tions in the Hoosier State have be-
gun to respond to the urge OF the
voters for more action as the cam
paign enters its last month.
In defense of the local Democratic
and Republican organizations it may
be said that the workers have been
occupied almost exclusively, in re-
cording the 30-day polls and COM
pleting registrations. The polls are
showing virtually as many doubt
fuls" as they did in 1882, a situa-
ton always of concern to the party
in power. Later on the significance
of the unusually heavy new registra-
tions and transfers will be ascer-
tanned.
Meanwhile the State candidates
are stumping with vigor exceeding
that of any campaign this current
decade. After several weeks Of
harmless campaigning at county
fairs, old settlers picnics and civic
barbecues, the Republican and
Democratic nominees for Governor
have rolled up their sleeves and now
and then succeed in injecting an
issue into their clash of personalities.
The national campaigns have been
furthered on the Republican side by
Wendell L. Willkie, who has spoken
at Elwood and South Bend, and on
the Democratic by Henry A. Wallace.
Here the native-born Willkie has q
great edge over the chief spokesman
for the third-term proposition, as
judged by public response.

ness in confronting the problems of
a troubled Nation.
After he had concluded the rather
uninspiring text of his Omaha
speech and gone of the air, Mr..
Willkie treated his capacity au-
dience to a 5-minute extempora-
neous peroration which lifted peo-
pie out Of their seats. He spoke on
a theme which he has often men
tioned-the necessity of taking a
warning from the collapse of democ-
racy abroad, the belief that in Eu-
rope not attack from without but
decay from within brought about
that collapse. He was rs inspiring
as Mr.. Roosevelt ever was during
those 5 minutes, and local leaders
regretted the fact that the radio
audience did not hear him in that
mood.
Reports of defective organization
in Mr.. WILKES campaign were
borne out to some degree by his
visit here. His campaign train Is
being run by amateurs and arrange
ments do not 60 as smoothly as
they might. For instance. the
Nebraska State leaders who boarded
the train and asked for an audience
were given unnecessarily short
shrift. They did not take o6ense,
because they recognized the can
didate's need for rest in . strenuous
schedule, but Q little diplomacy In
discouraging their request would
have helped.

OMAHA. Nebr., Oct. 5.-Straw
votes are becoming as numerous as
campaign speeches these days, and
one of the most interesting in these
parts was the poll taken at a Shen-
andoah, Iowa, pancake festival last
week.
Shenandoah is in Southwest Iowa
and farmers from four States at
tended the festival. To get free
pancake ticket they had to take q
straw vote ballot. At the end OF
three days the vote stood: Wendell
Willkie. II, 1,401; President Roosevelt,
1884. Four years ago the poll
went for President Roosevelt over
All M. Landon, 6 to 4.
Broken down into States, the
pancake eaters showed Iowans, Ne
braskans and Kansans for Mr.. Will
kie, while President Roosevelt had
a slight edge among the Missouri
visitors.
Mr.. Willkie, now making his bid
for the bigger electoral votes east
of the Mississippi, is generally be-
lieved to have improved his stand
ing in this section by his speech at
Omaha and his appearances in Iowa.
This is attributed not so much to
his farm program as outlined at
Omaha-which proved q disappoint-
ment to anybody expecting novel or
startling proposals-as to the I'm

MANCHESTER, N. H., Oct. s.
Republican State leaders are con-

there is a slight gain in favor OF
the President.

The State Democratic Committee
will have to fill two vacancies when
new officers are elected soon. State

Michigan 6. 0. P. Jettisons
Bosses, Gains Prestige
BY H. C. GARRISON,

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. s.
Through a sudden and surprisingly
successful uprising led by octogen-
arian Gov. Dickinson at their State
convention, Michigan Republicans
kicked out their bosses and thereby
gained back some Of the prestige
they lost among the independent
voters during the long years of boss
domination.
The bosses dethroned ut the con-
vention were Frank D. Mckay Of
Grand Rapids and Edward N. Bar
nard of Detroit. Previously, VIII
liam H. McKeighan Of Flint. had
been thrown overheard at the Gene
see County convention.
For more than a decade this tri-
umvirate ruled Michigan Republican
conventions. Although the poll
tician element has supported Mr..
Mckay, the rank-and-f1le OF his
party resented his domination bit
terly and there is no question that
the situation has cost the Republi-
cans thousands of independent
votes.
The very opportuneness of the Nc
Kay overthrow has aroused the sus-
picion of some Democrats.
"It's mighty funny" they assert,
that Gov. Dickinson did not dis
cover Mckay was q nasty man until
the last possible moment before the
election, when his remarkable dis
covery would have q political effect.
He went along with everything Nc.
KAY did for Q yoay and Q half"

Republicans, United, I,
Attack Wisconsin's
Wrang|ing Democrats
Proqressives Go on Record
In Favor of Third Term
For Roosevelt
BY CHARLES w. HOLMBURG,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

special correspondent OF Ihe StAI
MADISON, Wis, Oct. 5.-Wis-
consin Republicans, their differences
over party control harmoniously
settled at their platform conven-
ton, this week entered the Anal
month Of the campaign with every
effort being expended to put Wis
consin in the Willkie column in
November and re-elect a full State
and congressional slate.
The Republican State platform
adopted at this weeks convention
took pride in reviewing Republican
achievements. expressed "enthusias-
tic support for Wendell Willkie and
Senator McNary, and declared: I'VE
adhere to the unwritten law Of this
Nation that there shall be no third
term for any President"
Both Democratic and Progressives
in their platform conventions went
on record in favor of the President.
The action of Senator La Toilette
in issuing a statement on the eve
of the convention indorsing Presi-
dent Roosevelt opened the way for
the Progressive party's pro-third-
term resolution. The Endorsement OF
Senator La Toilette and the con-
vention, however, did not include
the Presidents foreign policy. Sena-
tor La Toilette is known to have
supervised the drafting Of the plat
form and he helped write the tele-
gram sent the President offering
Progressive party support. 1t pointed
ly remarks that there is no issue
on foreign policy" between President
Roosevelt and Mr.. Willkie.
Democrats, badly split into pro
and anti-Roosevelt factions with a
State and senatorial ticket rejecting
all shades of opinion, wrangled
throughout their convention and
finally brought out platform
extravagantly praising President
Roosevelt.
Endorsement Of the State Demo-
cratic ticket. headed by Francis E.
McGovern, governorship candidate.
and James E. Finnegan. candidate
for Senator, was voted, but not with
out an attempt to ignore the Fin
negan candidacy. Mr.. McGovern. a
former Progressive-Republican Gov
ernor turned Democrat, has an
nounced himself strong Roosevelt
supporter. Mr.. Fnnegan, a former
attorney general. Is conservative
pro-Garner Democrat.
Reciprocal tariffs were favorite
platform topic. The Republican plat
form sternly opposes the trade agree
ments. charging they discriminate
against agricultural and dairy
products.
The Democrats. who Endorsed
them. point out that the head OF
the Republican national ticket, Mr..
Willkie. had praised the treaties early
in the campaign.
The Progressives, while telegraph
ing their support to President Roose-
welt, adopted a plank condemning
the agreements.
