Smith managers are making no secret of the fact that they are attempting to win over the La Follette adherents and are looking with confidence to the abili- ty of their presidential nominee to make a favorable impression in the Northern border sections. While President Coolidge had neariy 4,000 majority in Wyoming and topped the' Davis-La Follette vote by about 2 000 in Minnesota in 1924, he fell almost 25,000 shy of the combined opposition total in Montana and approximately 9.~ 000 short m North Dakota. In Wiscon- sin La Follétte rolled up a vote of more than 452000, as against 311,000 for Coolidge and only 68,000 for Davis. In Minnesota Coolidge’s ~total was | 420,000, La Follette’s 339,000 and Davis' | 55.000; in North Dakota Coolidge got 94,000, La Follette 89,000 and Davis 13,- 000; in Montana Coolidge received 74.- 000, La Follette nearly 66,000 and Davis about 34,000, while Wyoming gave Cool- idge 41.000. La Follette 25,000 and Davis only 12,000, Senators in Race. In every Sta‘e Gov. Smith enters after he leaves Denver and until he gets back in Illinois on his return to New York a tan!ed States Senator is up for re-elec- ion. In Wyoming Senatar Kendrick. Demo- crat, is seeking a third term. Senalor Wheeler, who bolted the Democratic party four years ago to be La Follette's running mate, is after another term in Montana. Senator Frazier,who is classed as one of the Republican independents and who has announced for Hoover, again is making the race in North Da kota. In Minnesota Shipstead, the oni Farmer-Laborite in the Senate, is up for re-clection and in Wisconsin young “Bcb” La Follette is the Republican senatorial nominee. Neither La Follette nor Shipstead has expressed himsel! openly as to which presidential candi- date he will support.

League and the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment. Speaking for the Anti-Saloon League, Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington, its director of cducation, said the league was sup- poriing Herbert Hoover and dry candi- dates generally the country over, re- garcless of party or religious affiliation. He pronounced absolutely false anj statement that the organization had raised the religious issue. Henry H. Curran, president of the Association Against the Amendment, disclosed that a decision whether to put the association actively into the presidential campaign is await- ing a meeting of the executive com- mittee to be held late this month, but that a widespread effort would be made to secure the election of members of Senate and House who oppose prohi- bition. “The repeal of the eighteenth amendment” was said by him to be the | ultimate goal of these efforts. Information Requested. Both of the statements were made in response to requests for information as to just what the two organizations | would attempt during 1928. “In_the present political campaign,” said Dr. Cherrington, “the Anti-Saloon League is supporting for public office dry candidates against wet ones regard- less of political affiliations or of any other issue that might be involved. “It judges candidates for office by their own records and by the public statements which they have made con- cerning their attitude upon the principle of prohibition and upon the enforcement | of this policy of government. “The repeated public statements that we oppose certain candidates for office because of their religion is not only absolutely false but is undoubtedly used by the enemies of prohibition to becloud the real issue. The Anti-Saloon League is _interdenominational. It _includes among its officers every variety of re- ligion. TIts national officers are Con- gregationalists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, Christian Scientists. Roman Satholics, Episcopalians, United Brethren and Quakers. Neither publicly nor privately does the Anti-Saloon League fight any candidate for public office be- cause of his religious convictions. Divided in Choice. “The Anti-Saloon League officials are practically evenly divided between the major political parties. They are abso- lutely non-partisan and any attempt by any group inside the organization to unfairly weight the scales in behalf of one party as against the other party | would be immediately productive of in- ternal discords that would wreck the The methods of the Anti- Saloon League are not secret, nor do they involve intrigue. “The Anti-Saloon League publishes a national and many State publications which reach probably a million readers weeXkly, biweekly or monthly, with infor- mation concerning issues or candidates for public office. Its speakers address public meetings in churches, halls or in the open air each week, thus reaching weekly many hundreds of thousands of citizens with information which might not be carried to them by the public press. It distributes literature elucidat- ing moot questions which might be part of the issues of the day. The success of the league is due to the simplicity of its methods, which might be summed up in the phrase, ‘Tell the voters the truth and they will do the rest.’” Mr. Cwiten saild the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment was “especially interested” in the congres- sional elections, in view of the fact that Comprletelg Installed lankage Extra Heat King Automatic Oil Burner The proved Heat King—made by the foremost manufacturer of rotary oil burners. 7 years ahead!

Reaching Virginia_soil early Ilast night. at Bristol on the Virginia-Ten- nessee line, the Senator found a crowd awaiting him on the platform demand- ing a speech, This he declined, saying | he deemed it improper to deliver a campaign address on Sunday. Instead, he told the gathering where he had been and of his future plans, saying that after his tour through the suth, he proposed to take a few days’ rest at Little Rock, Ark., his home, and then start on a trip that would carry him to the Pacific Coast. Chis was the first timie the Senator said publicly that he proposed to ACTross the continent, although it became known at the time of his visit to New York for the Smith notification ceremony that the Demo- cratic speakers' bureau hoped he would make such a trip. Preceding his welcome at' Bristol, the Senator also was met at Johnson City, Tenn., by another crowd. There he left the platform of his private car and shook hands with a number of those who had gathered. Mr. Robinson said today that upon the start of his second week of cam- paigning in the South he was “more than ever convinced that the traditional Democratic solidity of this great sec- tion will prevail in November.” “I have found Democratic leaders | everywhere roused to action,” he de- | clared in a statement. “They not only realize the importance of the issue at No. 1 By the Associated Press BOSTON, September 10.—Clarence A.

Mr. Barnes' acceptance, contained in | an open letter to Gov. Smith, made one provision—he accepts only in the event of his being nominated as a_candidate for attorney general in the Massachu- setts primaries, September 18. “If I am nominated,” Mr. Barnes said, ‘I shall leave for Albany the following ay, and place bcfore you a complete record of the Albany pool's operations during the past three and a half years, when you publicly stated that you would stop all the lottei n New York State.” In his letter, Mr. Barnes advocated hat Gov.
