By the Associated Press BIARRITZ. France, October In recent weeks the newspapers of Spain have repeated published reports of the possible marriage of the Prince of Wales and Princess Beatrice, sec- ond daughter of King Alfonso and Queen Victoria of Spain. Official de- nial of the reports has heen made by the Spanish foreign minister, but the anish royal family have s de- reference to them Prince of V visited San sions during races and other events v sh royal family.

(Continued from First Page.) not alone by Republicans. Demecrats | are not outspaken about the Coolidge | candidate, | | popularity popularity, but they admit it in private conversation. So far as this of the President can be extended to cover Senator Ermst, $0 much the better for the Republican Prosperity Is Disputed. The Democrats deny there is pros- perity in Kentucky. They point to the distress of the tobacco growers, particularly in the western part of the State, where the dark tobacco is produced, and where the co-operatives have failed to be the success they have been in the central part of Ken- tucky, in which burley tobacco is pro- duced and where the cooperatives have really proved a success. Ken- tucky produces about one-third of all the tobacco grown in the United States. The prosperity or lack of prosperity of the tobacco growers, therefore, is an important element in the prosperity of the entire State. The coal mines, on the other hand, have done fairly well. Many of them are non-union mines and they reaped a harvest during the coal strike. A canvas of the situation shows that while the State generally is not greatly prosperous, it is still not so hard up by any means as the Demo- s would paint it. FFormer Senator Stanley, in a speech for Barkley last night, however, took a shot at President Coolidge and at Republican prosperity that is typical of the campaign. He said: ““They talk about Coolidge needing Ernst. Coolidge is not going to want irnst or anybody else very long. His troubles and cares will soon be over. We are going to elect a Democratic President in 1928, “And thi it aunted prosperity, where Who is it? What is it? Is it the v erity of the steel trust, the lum- ber trust, the aluminum trust? They tell us that while agriculture is ter- ribly depressed the ‘country’s all right." There is no wholesome pros- perity in this country whose roots are not fixed in the soil.” Lambasts Protective Tariff. Senator Stanley then proceeded to lambast _the Republican protective tariff. The tariff issue is one, how- ever, that the Republicans have ac- epted here as elsewhere in this cam- paign with little misgivings. Senator Ernst and his supporters are calling the turn upon the protective tariff wherever they can. The Democrats have made their is- sues against Senator Ernst his votes zainst the soldiers’ bonus bill, against overriding the President on the Bur. sum bill to increase the pensions of Civil War and Spanish War veterans, against overriding the President's veto of the postal employes’ increase salary bill. They have attacked Senator Ernst because he voted against throwing for- mer Senator Truman H. Newberry out of the Senate when he was charged with corrupting the electorate in Michigan, and because he voted against the Senate resolution calling n i nvestigation of the senatorial pri ries this year in Pennsylvania, Ilinofs and_elsewhere. Indeed, the charge of corruption and of buying elections is one of the main issues ised by the Democrats in this State gainst the Republicans. They at- tack Senator Ernst also for his vote \inst the publicity clause of the 1924 income tax laws. When Judge Barkley opened his campaigr here he said: “If the road to the Senate must be paved with gold, I confess I cannot travel it. pid to be a Senator is to be an apologist for corruption and a companion of those who practice it, then I cannot qualify.” Labor Supporting: Barkley. Judge Barkley has the support of for organized labor. He has been in- dorsed by the non-partisan political campaign committee of the American Federation of Labor. He has the in- dorsement of the railroad brother- hoods. Half a million copies of a special edition of Labor, ' the organ of the railroad brotherhoods, prais- ing Barkley and attacking Ernst, have been sent into the State and are being widely circulated. labor, however, is not as strong in Kentucky as it is in some of the other States, and even in the ranks of or- ganized labor there aj those who will vote the Republican ticket this year. The Republican strength lies par- ticularly in the eastern part of the State, in the mountains, where the people take their Republicanism along with their patriotism and rel the central and western parts of the State lie the Democratic strongholds. Louisville, the metropolis Republican for several Republican leaders here estimate they will carry it by 10,000, and if they do Senator Ernst in all _prob- ability will be elected. The Demo- crats deny that the Republicans will have such strength here, and claim that the city will actually go Demo- cratic. The colored voters, and there are many here, vote the Republican ticket. The four dally newspapers, in- cluding the influential Courier-Jour- nal, are all supporting Barkley this yvear. The Courier-Journal two ago supported Senator Sackett af e Senator Stanley. It circulates widely through the State and doubtless will have its effect on the election. An argument which the Republi- cans are using ags his support during his campaign for governor of a proposal to levy a tax on the production of coal.

They hope to de- feat Representative Thatcher, Re- publican, who represents the fifth, or Louiseville, district in the present Con- gress. The Democratic nominee for the fifth district is S.

The other two Republican districts are in the mountain region of the eastern part of the State, the tenth and eleventh districts, and they will continue to be represented by the Republicans. Mrs. John W. Langle: wife of former Representative Lang- ley, who i penitentiary for violation of the Vol- stead act, is the candidate of the Re- publicans in the tenth district, and is as sure of election as the rising of the sun in the morning. Accord- ing to all reports, Langley is con- sidered a martyr in his district. There ‘has_been gossip to the effect that the Republicans of the tenth district would not support Senator Ernst because he had not inter- ceded for Langlgy at the time of his indictment and trial. The Demo- crats have made as much as they could of this_reported disgruntle- ment.

Some of the support of Judge Barkley is coming from those who denounce this kind of \political domination. It is charged by them that the Jockey Club does not scru- ple to lend money and grant favors to gain its way with the State Legis- lature. The senatorial race here looks to be close at this time. Judge Barkley Is making a vigorous speaking campaign and is more effective on the stufap than his Republican opponent. Every effort is being made to line up vet- erans of the World War and other against Senator Ernst because s votes against the bonus and pension legislation. But some of the American Legionnaires are campaign- ing for Ernst, too. The Ernst cam- n management claims the State 25,000. The Barkley campaign com- ts their candidate will win, but makes no estimate of his plural- ity. The edge seems at present to be with Ernst. Murals Centuries Ago.
