Special Dispateh to The Star., HARRISBURG, Pa., October 21— toth parties in Pennsylvania are fighting apathy among voters and thus far the democrats seem to have had the best of it. Considering the tremendous republican strength against which the democratic candi- s are driving, their effort is be- taaular and even Gifford governor, has found it necessary to warn against the dangers of over- confidence.

Fumds Are Searce. Added to the lack of energy among some republicans due to the Pinchot attitude, the fact that there is a carcity’ of campaign funds thus far is making things more or less un. pleasant. Perhaps much of the dis- satisfaction reported to date is due to financial stringency and there may be a change early in November. The twogUnited States senators and their opponents are out on the stump. The republicans joined Pin- chot today in the anthracite region, where much attention is to be given to campaigning. Owing to the state-wide situation, the congressional fights have not been arousing much attention ex:ept in Lancaster, Cambria, Luzerne and one or two other counties w like W. W. Griest, J. J.

LEADERS Spirit of Indifference Regard- ing Election Manifest in Washington State. Special Dispatch to The Star. TACOMA, Wash., October 21.—Re- publican leaders in the state are frankly worrled by the spirit of apathy which is being shown the coming general election. This spirit general throughout the state. It 1s ticularly noticeable in the ranks of the republicans, and this is due to 4 large extent to the fact that the cpublicans, rank and file, with few ptions, are overconfident.

There lare many politicians who have been watcliing the situation, however, who predict that Dill, through his gum- shoe tactics, will be able to carve down this majority. Reports re- | ceived in this city from practically |every county seat in the state indi- {cate” that Poindexter's strength as {shown at the primaries will not be affected much by Dill and that he {will roll up considerably more than 150.000 majority unless Duncan with- jdraws from the race within the next jtwo weeks and throws his entire fol- |lowing into the democratic fold. {Even then Duncan’s advent into the { democratic fold will tend to frighten away many of the old-line conserva- | tive democrats.

AUSTIN, Tex., October 21.—Des- perate efforts are being made by the regular organization of the demo- cratic party of Texas to rally sup- yort to Earle B.

Because there is a possibility of his name being left off the official ballot, leav- ing the race an even break between him and his opponent, George E. B. Peddy, Frank C. Davis, chairman of the state democratic executive com- mittee, has issued a demand on all who took part in the democratic pri- maries to give their support to Mr. Mayfleld in the general election. The big deflection of anti-Ku Klux democrate to the support of the fusion candidate, Mr. Peddy, has caused much alarm to the so-called collar democrats.

CHARLESTON, W. Va., October 21.— Much of the lethargy which attemded the opening weeks of the campaign in this state is disappearing in the face of redoubled effort by"the two party organizations. Both sides now have many speakers touring the state and there willl be steady augmenta- tion in this respect until the cam- paign ends. There has been no en- largement of moment in the cross debate. Former Representative Mat- thew M.

This feature of the Ohio campaign is echipsing the mere political campaign work on both sides of the party fence. The wet managers are claiming a great change of sentiment in the last two years, due to the raiding of pri- vate houses, and to some extent this is probably true. The drys are preac ing it to the people that the proposed amendment wiil mean the return of the saloon without the old state regu- latory and restricting legislation, to control them. Some lawyers predict that if the amendment is adopted the federal courts will declare it of no effect, for the reason that it contro- verts the federal prohibition. But the drys are not willing to take a chance on that, and are pointing out that with the amendment of the state con- titution in this regard carried, all the state laws for the enforcement of pro- hibition will fall, and in Ohio we shall have oniy the already overcrowded federal courts to look to for such en- forcement. Representatives Unaffected. The listing of candidates for the House as favorable to the proposed amendment of the Volstead act has had little effect on the congressional campaign for the reason that those s0 listed were generally regarded as wet before. The work of the several members of the President’s cabinet who have come to Ohio to speak in the cam- paign does not seem to have con- tributed much to enthuse the party membership on the issues of the cam- paign. It is mow proposed in the re- publican state campaign headquarters to organize a driving force of eighty- eight experts in practical campalgn work, county, to work through the party county committee, with the one ob- ject of arousing the voters of the party to a sense of the importance of carrying the President's state in this bye-election. Gov. Davis, who has been ill, has now recovered and is announced to take the stump in the republican state campaign next week, and this is viewed with some concern by not a few republican leaders, who fully understand that the governor's ad- ministration has not been a shining success, and that, as & mader oi 1act, that was the real reason he did not ask nomination for a second term. The democrats will be sure to tak dvantage of the opportunity and drag inta the discussion features of the present state administration that have come in for severe denunciation ifrom prominent republicans them- seives. 'VICTORY NOTES YIELDED. the leaders of the movement against the Volstead law have made up their dry speakers one or more Sundays $250,000,000 Worth Exchanged for New Treasury Bonds. Preliminary reports to the Trea: ury yesterday from federal reserve banks indicate that a total of $250,- 000,000 worth of 4% per _cent Victory notes and December 15 certificates were exchanged for the 43 per cent new Treasury bonds of 1947-52 In the exchange offering this week by the Treasury Department. Allot- ments in full have been made on such exchanges in accordance with the terms of the offering, it was a nounced.

There are 600 mem- bers of the Huntington Moose Lodge and a goodly percentage of these turned out as a body to welcome the supreme director of their order. Democratic Chairman’s Claim. Chairman R. F. Dunlap of the dem- ocratic state committee announces from the Hinton headquarters that Maj. Neely is now attracting uniform- Iy large crowds and that the enthu- stasm for him grows apace. The turning point was in Charleston last week when some 2,000 people wel- comed the senatorial candidate on his visit to this city. The first joint meeting of the campaign was held in the' Summers county courthouse at Hinton Monday afternoon. Senator Sutherland. Representative Wells Goodykoonts and others held up the republican end while Maj. Neely and Mrs. Izotta Jewell Brown, whom he defeated in the primary, were the principal opposing speakers, Mrs. Brown is to speak in Charleston and elsewhaere in- Kanawha county next Monday and Tuesday. Noteworthy Development. One noteworthy development of the repubMcan campaign is the activity of two of Senator Swutherland's pri- mary opponents. These are Herschel C. Ogden, the Wheeling publisher, and former Attornev General A. A.| Lilly of Charleston. Both offered their services to Chairman White and were put to_work on the hustings. Former Gov. H. D. Hatfleld opens the G. O. P. campaign in Mason county with a speecit at Point Pleasant to- day. Judge Ira E. Robinson of Graf- ton, who was .defeated for governor in 1916 by Johu J. Cornwell. and who is being mentdoned prominently for appointment as federal judge in the fourth circuit, will begin a two- week speaking _trip Monday. At- torney General E. T. England and Samuel B. Montgomery, labor's politi- cal chieftain in West Virginia and the Non-Partisan League candidate for governor two years ago, have itin- raries which cover all parts of the state. C. Fred Edwards, the Huntington mattress manufacturer, continues to provide much of the spice of the campaign.
