Mountain States Shift
BIZ J. J. Mullen.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 21.-As the
campaign moves into the final two
weeks stretch, Colorado's political
picture is beginning to take definite
form.
While much depends upon the
size of actual registration figures.
conservative observers who have
watched developments throughout
the State in the national front see
little hope of the Democrats wrest-
ing the State from the COP column
in November.
Colorado labor leaders predict
their organizations will put more
than 10000 votes in the Roosevelt
column. If their prediction is COR
rect organized labor will give the
President approximately is per cent
OF the Colorado vote.
Utah's campaign which continues
to roll forward at ever increasing
speed will be carried right down to
the finish line judging from tho
program schedule of both partieS
for the final weeks.
One OF the surprising features of
the campaign has been the COM
plete absence of disaffection in the
Democratic machine which existed
In pre-campaign weeks. The con-
certed drive of this newly-built ma
chine, observers say, has done much
to keep Utah still leaning Demo-
cratic on the national front.
In New Mexico, the rush of voters
to register in the final days has

American Water Color Exhibition Opens
New Season at the Washington Arts Club

ETHIOPIA, ne says, is hereditary
craft passed on from father to son.
1t survives because of the patronage
of monasteries and churches, which
for centuries in that country have
depended upon native talent for
their decoration. When the old
paintings begin to show signs of
age they are discarded and replaced
by new examples. This practice is
distressing to antiquarians, VINO are

native folk history and battle
scenes. The artists were not afraid
OF color; they laid it on strong,
bright and clashing, and the sub
jects are heavily outlined in black.
Church Paintines
st. George, England's patron
saint, also has Ethiopia under his
protection, and is the subject of
numerous church paintings in the
latter country. One of these is
shown. In common with most
European paintings of the saint, it
does not flatter his prowess at
dragon-slaying. The dragon ap-
pears to be harmless little beast
and ST. George is dispatching it
with one hand while he holds his
horses reins loosely in the other.
1t will be recalled that Emperor
Halle SelaSsie claims descent from
King Solomon and the Queen of
Sheba. Their legendary romance
is a popular subject in Ethiopia !;
version of it in this exhibition is
delightful. The painting is divided
into nine panels, each about one
| foot square, and each little scene
Is complete with details.
There are two battle paintings
crowded with fighting troops, a pro-
fusion of casualties strewn between
the opposing forces and curious and
intrepid onlookers, including roy
atty, nobility and women, dressed
as though for a carnival. These
scenes have such exotic details as
cheerful elephants carrying cannon
on their backs like howdahs. Par

Virginia Safely Democratic
Bu G. w, Houston.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 21.-With
Virginia definitely in the Roosevelt
column, the campaign continues to
center on things to come in the
State.
Senator Byrd remained silent on
support of the Democratic ticket,
but Representative Howard w.
Smith, another severe critic of the
New Deal, admitted he would vote
the straight Democratic ticket.
In Prince Edward County four
members of the County Democratic
Committee resigned because they
could not support the Roosevelt
ticket, and in other places it is
reported that nominal Democrats
are declining either to resign or
to support the ticket.
In spite of minor defections, the
Democrats are showing some signs
Of life, and there Is no doubt any
where that Mr.. Roosevelt will win
handily in the State.

Chinese Paintings Shovn
At the Whyfe Gallery

Wang Chi Yuan, distinguished
Chinese artist who has been in the
United States for several years, is
having an exhibition OF nearly 40
water colors at the Whyte Gallery
until the end of this month. This
is Prof Wang's second appearance
in Washington; large group of his
paintings was included in an ex-
hibition of modern Chinese art cir
culated last year by the American
Federation of Arts and shown at
Howard University's Art Gallery.
Prof. Wang was born in Hsi- -Hsien
in 1894. He taught in many of
China's schools. In 1922 he was
head of the faculty for western
painting in Shanghai College of
Fine Arts, of which he has also been
vice president. As a member of the
General Affairs Committee of the
Ministry of Education, he promoted
art exhibitions throughout China.
He was head of the Shanghai Art
Association, and founded two other
professional art organizations. He
has exhibited his own work in
Europe as we'll as in China, Japan
and the Philippine Islands, and the
United States of America. He is
author of many books, including
texts on art for normal schools
Prof. Wang is famous for his
painting of bamboo; he captures its
endless variety in different seasons.
hours and weathers. Several varia-
tions on this theme are included in
the current exhibition; striking one
is that painted in white on dark
blue paper.
A blend of ancient Chinese and
modern Occidental painting is seen
IN the work now on view. 1t is in

rather than in individual water
colors. Exquisitely decorative flower
paintings on silver or tinted paper
appear wholly Chinese, while a few
landscapes might have been done by
an American or European artist,
save for their calligraphic notations.
Chinese writing is an art, not a
scrawl, as is so much of our own
penmanship, and Chinese artists
signatures and titles seem a part of
the design of their works.
Chinese landscape must be the

Sheridan few weeks back.
Dewey sentiment took an upward
surge following the Sheridan visit,
but this trend has not carried
through to the more heavily popu-
lated sections where organized labor
and the soldier vote will play an
important role.
Unless registration totals show a
pronounced increase over recent
low figures, these same observers
see Wyoming still leaning toward
Roosevelt unless Bricker's two
scheduled speeches in Cheyenne can
turn the tide.
