Defections Threaten Chances
Of Democrats in Kentucky

ularly in Harlan County, where
about 100 persons are under in

some 5000 to 1000 votes were er-
roneously counted for the Demo-
cratic candidate.
The Democrats retained eight OF
the nine seats in the House but by
reduced majorities. In the seventh

crat, was reelected by a scant few

A polling concern made a survey
which indicated that the detection.
will run high. One Democratic
wheelhorse, who makes a poll of hi
own, received letters from a con
siderable number of former Demo
cratic workers, outside of the public
payroll, who said they were goins
Republican this year. On the othe.
hand, the Republicans insist tha
none of their party members will
desert Judge Willis for the Demo
cratic nominee.
OBJECTIONS Admitted.
The Republican hope is tina
enough Democrats will be found vot

with Democrats who will not go II
the polls at all, to give them the vic.
tory. Democratic leaders pooh pool
this suggestion. Privately they ad
init defectionS in their ranks. Bu
that these defections will be any
thing like enough to elect Judg.
Willis they emphatically deny.
The Republicans refer hopeful,
to the 10000 votes cast in the pri
mary for Mr. Kilgore, the farmers
candidate. They insist that the Ken
lucky farmers, like those in othe
States, are off the New Deal ant
that they intend to show the resent

do not like the restrictions that hav,
been placed upon them, although
they are making more money thai

counting on general dissatisfaction
of the people with all kinds of bus

The Absent Vote.
In a general way, the absence o
so many young men-and women
in the armed forces is supposed t
be an advantage to the Republical
ticket. For the young people, NOR

1t is estimated that about 10000
workers have left the State to wor

of these are Democrats. The Ne,

tucky is not without its own wa

the count of Kentucky votes until q
day after the voting had elapsed
has been repealed.
Another Labor Element.
Another situation which may have
its effect on the labor vote in this
State grows out of the dissatisfac-
ton of the coar miners and of the
railroad workers. Many of the coal
mines are located in Republican ter
ritory, but some of the miners have
been voting Democratic
Republican hopes are for large
majority in the traditionally Repub-
lican 9th district, in the eastern sec
ton of the State, now represented in
the House by Representative Rob-
sion. They hope to roll up a 10000
vote lead in that district. They have
hopes of polling large vote in the
I7th district, too, and in the 4th,
which has been represented by the
late Representative Creal. They must
do we'll in Louisville, the metropolis
OF the State, also if they are to win.
Both the Democrats and the Repub-
llcans are claiming the advantage in
Louisville, and the chances are that
the outcome in the city will be close.
Democratic campaign orators are
sticking to the war and President
Roosevelt-who has been very pop
ular in Kentucky-as their prime
issues. They claim that the election
OF Republican Governor in Ken
lucky would be regarded as a repu-
diatlon of President Roosevelts war
leadership.
COP. Talks State Issues.
Republican speakers are keeping
away from national politics and the
War-except to deny the Democratic
charge that Republican victory
would impair the war effort. They
are concentrating their fire on the
Democratic state administration
talking state issues entirely. They
have declined to bring any outside
speakers into the state to campaign
Tor them. 1t was reported at one
time that Wendell Willkie would
come here to speak for Judge Willis,
and also that Rep. Clair Booth Lucs
of Connecticut would be here. But
apparently these efforts to obtain
outside assistance have been dis
| couraged.
If they do not desire outside speak,
ers, the Republicans would neverthe-
less be delighted TO receive financial
assistance from the hinterland. So
far there has been no evidence that
material funds have been sent in to
help in the election. But the Repub-
licans still hope to have money to
use for their organization workers
by the time Election Day rolls round.
/ Up to date the Democrats appear to
be better heeled in this respect than
their opponents.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY OF
LIBERATION, Corsica (by aerial
courier Hard is the lot of the
country girl who goes astray with
soldiers in Corsica.
An American officer witnessed the
punishment Of one such offender
when he was invited to spend Sun
day with some guerillas in a little
village in the mountains above
Corte. There was public ceremony.
First, the girl was seated in a chair
in the village square while a barber
slashed off her hair and then shaved
her head. Then she was forced to
strip naked and paraded through the
single street.
Just an old Corsican custom, the
officer was told.
French troops were provided with
American c rations for the Corsican
campaign. The meat and vegetable
stew contains pork, to eat which
would forfeit good Moslem all his
chances of Paradise. Allah might
forgive, however, if the culprit did

Washington Hospital continued to
support library service to patients
and the staff.
Demands from Agencies.
Miss Herbert reported that the
principal demand for advisory and
reference service had come from the
war agencies of the Government.
She described the transfer of the
bindery to the District Division of
Printing as IAN important admins
tratlve change" and one which
should prove to be an economy to
the District and at the same time
give employment to local book
binders"

work adequately" Miss Herbert
stated, "is a revision upward of the

Justify such revision and it is hoped
that some improvement in this re-
spect NAV be effected in the COM
ing year"
Linguaphone Successful.
Reporting that the use of Spanish
and Portuguese linguaphone records
had proven successful Miss Herbert
said it was hoped to add several
other languages to help those going
into foreign service work for the
Government. The most important
photographic work of the year, Miss
Herbert said, was the Authoritative
list of the United Nations, prepared
at the request of the American Lii
brary Association"
Mr.. Noyes expressed to the Com
Imissioners the regret of the Board
iof Trustees over the resignation of
DR.. Frank w. Ballou from the board.
During his 18 years of service his
interest and wise advice had been
most helpful. In his place the Com
missioners appointed William Mont
gomery, who is a valuable addition
to the membership" Mr.. Noyes
added.
DR.. Ballou resigned last week as
superintendent of schools.
