State over the gubernatorial nomination, with the Luke Lea-Caldwell faction supporting Horton and the crump fac- tions supnortin? McAlister. Horton won by only a few hundred votes, and there was talk of the expenditure of $200,000 in the campaign and the pos- | sibility of a contest. But the proposed | contsst was dropped. In the Repub- Jican ranks all has not been harmony. At the State convention Hopkins, the gubernatorial nominee, was infured in a cutting affray. which did not tend to elevate the tone of the campaign There have been other troubles among ! the Republicans. There is a "m!lh‘é“ faction,” represented by J. Will Taylor, Representative from the second district in Congress and Republican national committeeman. and a faction dominat- ed by Republicans who have come Into the State from outside. In the latter faction is former Assistant Secretary of Commerce Houston. There was a threat of trouble between these fac-|{ tions before the Republican national convention, but it was ironed out and ‘Taylor left in control. Lowden-Curtis Sentiment. Before the nomination of Mr. Hoo- | ver there was not a liitle Lowden and | Curtis sentiment in the State. A few of the delegates to the national conven- tion were intent upon voting for Low- den or Curtis, but in the end. when it | was apparent that Hoover was to be | nominated, they “went along.” But in | view of factional differences. the Re- | publicans appear now to be pretty | solidly lined up for Hoover. Hal | Clemens, former State chairman, was A Lowden man. He was not re-elected State chairman. Gov. Horton has much strength among the farmers. and it is expected he will aid the Smith ticket greatly in the rural sections. It was in those seéctions of the State that he beat his opponent, McAlister, in the primary race. Democrats here are talking poverty. They say they have comparatively i tle money for the campaign; that prac- tieally nothing is being sent in by the Democratic national committee, and | that the gubernatorial primary cost so | much money that local Démocrats are | not subscribing as much as they other- wise might have doné to the general election. The Republicans are better fixed financially. it is said. They are utting their greatest efforts, however, ito the fight for the national ticket. Attitude of Democrats. A month ago. some of the Democrats | say, the situation looked black for the | Smith-Robinson ticket. Not a few of the Protestant clergymen, including Bishop Dubose of the Methodist Church, had attacked Smith and urged that he be defeated. Their attacks, however, brought protests from many of the lay members of their churches, and the clergymen have been far less active re- cently. Democratic voters, who were inclined to be for Hoover, or rather | against Smith, have changed their mind in many instances, it is said, be- cause .they resented the kind of cam- | glum that was being made against im. The reaction has set in. The anti-Smith attacks, had they been nMfid now instead of a month ago, probably. would have been more effec- tive, since there would not have bene many weeks in which to counteract them. The Smith opposition. it is be- ligved, shot its bolt too soon in Ten- nessee. ‘However, Mrs. Mabel Walker Wille- brandt, Assistant Attornev General, In‘ coming to Knoxville within a few days | to speak for the Republican national | ticket. What “effect she will have/ among the woman voters remains to be seen. Plans for Gov. Smith. “When Gov. Smith comes to the State | the latter part of the week, he will be urged to make at least one address, | ailthough the announced program calls for no speech here, but for a speech in Louisville, Ky., on Saturday. { hold conferences with Democratic lead- ers and mix with the people as much as possible in Tennessee, it is said. But the Democrats here are anxious to have him talk to them. 1 ‘While they predict that Smith will carry the State, the more conservative Democratic leaders say that it is about | 8 6 to 5 bet in favor of Smith and| it Hoover. Republican claims that the State will go for Hoover by 50,000 ‘votes they declare are “absurd.” ‘The fact of the matter is that the | final outcome in Tennessee is still ob- | scure. While the State is leaning | Democratic, the Republican cause | might be given added impetus by a| fortuitous circumstance. Those Demo- erats who are willing to look the situa- tion squarely in the face are ndmmmg; that a plurality of 10.000 or 15,000 is | #bout all they can expect, although they ‘hope for mo: Large Negro Vote. { There i= a considerable negro vote | in Tennessee.

The fact that Gov. Smith has had | support. from the negro voters of Har- lam, N. Y., is having its effect among the colored voters. too. Over in Mem- | phis, Bob Church, who has been a powerful leader of the negroes in poli- tical campaigns, has not been given @ place on the Republican county com- mittee, and this may have its effect. However, Republican leaders point out that Church is friendly to the chair- man of the committee. who has just been elected. They insist that Church will work actively in the interest of the Republican national ticket. Some of the anti-Smith Democrats in. that section of the State said flatly that they would go back to Smith, it is re- ported here. if Church was given recog- nition on the committee.

Hamilton Lewis Tells Ger-5 man-Americans to Oppose Dry Law. | By the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, October 8.—J. Ham- | ilton Lewis, former Democratic Unfted | States Senator from Illinois, told a large gathering of German-Americnmi here yesterday that it was their duty to oppose the prohibition law. The Chicagoan addressed the German- Americans at their celebration of the establishment of the first colony of Ger- | mans in America, October 7, 1682. After congratulating the German-Amer- icans upon their contribution to Amer- | ica, the speaker turned to prohibition. | “You did not leave one tyranny to | accept another,” he said. “You want all | the Constitution can give you—Ilife, lib- erty and the pursuit of happiness. You cannot consider yourselves happy when you are oppressed with the fear that you may be arrested for drinking a bev. erage which your fathers considered part of their happiness and diet. “Be assured that you have the right | to oppose such oppression. It is not only your privilege to oppose it, but your duty. I am not pleading for party. I am pleading for liberty.” The celebration was sponsored by 28 German-American socleties, and more than 250 society members from Omaha | attended. INDIANS LOSE SUIT FOR LAND RECOVERY St. Rigis Tribe Second Time De- feated in Battle for Realty Site on St. Lawrence River. By the Associated Press. ALBANY, N. Y., October 8.—For the second time in a year St. Regis Indians have met defeat in their court battle to recover land near Massena now oc- cupied by a power plant of the St. Lawrence River Power Co., a subsid- iary of the Aluminum Co. of America. The State of New York was a party in the defense. An opinfon rendered by Judge Frank Cooper of the northern New York dis- trict of Federal Court, forwarded to Judge H. C. Hale, Canton, attorney of record for the power company, dis- missed an amended complaint of ihe Indians. The litigation was brought by James Deere on behalf of himself and all other members of the St. Regis tribe against the power company. The plaintiff claimed a treaty, dated | 1824, between the tribe and the State of New York was involved because in contravention of Federal statutes pre- | sumable inaccurate. The action was | regarded by lawyers as a “key base” | which if won by the Indians would have served as a basis for similar liti- gation over thousands of acres of land in the State conveved in the past by Indians to the white men. Charles Evans Hughes was counsel for the power company. CANNON HITS RACE ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN | Bishop Deplores Injection of Ques-| tion and Says He Fights Smith Solely on Prohibition. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, October 8.—Deploring the injection of the race issue into the presidential campaign, Bishop James Cannon, jr., of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, in an address here yes- . terday declared he was fighting Gov. Smith, the Democratic nominee, solely on his stand on prohibition. Bishop Cannon appeared at the Bap- tist Tabernacle under the auspices of | the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-Saloon League and spoke for three hours, frequently read- ing newspaper clippings. “Senator Robinson has been up and down the Southern country telling preachers to leave politics alone and preach the pure gospel,” he declared. “I propose to denounce sin wherever I find it.” Bishop Cannon also referred to John J.

By the Associated P ST. PAUL, Minn., October 8.—It is a strange mixture of political aspira- tions, some of them the common herit- age of the whole Northwest, which has drawn Minnesota Into a conspicuous role in the political extravaganza of 1928. Farm relief, prohibition, the tariff, the St. Lawrence Waterway and the racial and religious characteristics of a large | foreign population all are coming into play in making up the decision of No- vember 6. What that decision will be still is disputed in these early days of Octo- ber. By the tradition Minnesota’s 12 | electoral votes should belong in the Re- publican column, and the Republican | leaders declare that within the past two weeks they have scen the tide setting In steadily toward Hoover. This asser- tion 15 contradicted by the Democrats, | who say Gov. Smith’s visit here gave impetus to. his campaign, and who are claiming better than an even chance to pry the State away from its long-estab- lished Republican anchorage. Farm Issue Pressed. | The farm question has been the prin- | cipal lever of the Smith men, and in | public discussion this issue has outstrip- | ped every other. The Republicans have | taken up the challenge of their op- ponents, and are presenting Mr. Hoover to the voters as better qualified than QGov. Smith to deal with the problems of agriculture. The Democrats are claiming wholesale Republican defec- tions among the farmers, but the Hoo- ver people pronounce these claims great- ly exaggerated. The bulk of Minnesdta's delegation to | Kansas City was for Lowden and_the | McNary-Haugen bill. Afterward there was a period of uncertainty and delay before the Hoover lines in the State | were definitely drawn. Senator Schall, | & Republican, at first said he could not actively support Hoover, but later he announced that he would do so. Two of the best-known farm leaders | in the State, both Republicans, took the stump against the Republican national | ticket. One was Frank W. Murphy, | legislative representative of the corn | belt committee, who, as a delegate at Kansas City, had helped carry the McNary-Hagen fight to the floor of the convention. The other was J. F. Reed, who resigned as president of the State Farm Bureau Federation and now fs head of the “Minnesota All-party 8mith-Robinson Clubs.” Dry Question Is Factor, Minnesota's farm population is pre- dominantly of foreign descent, and gere the farm issue crosses with prohibition and religion. The largest group is Ger- man, rated wet, and the next two groups in point of size are the Swedes and the Norwegians, rated dry. Thousands of all three nationalities’ are members of the Lutheran Church, and there is among them all much talk of the re- ligious issue. The tariff is strongly urged by the Republicans as an aid to | the farmer, and there is widespread | interest, particularly In northern Wis- consin, in the St. Lawrence waterway. Such is the jumble of elements which make up the high lights of the picture— a_picture which is better understood when it is examined against the back- ground of the recent political history of the Northwest. Throughout this whole region, for one reason or another, the voters have been dividng along lines | other than the old accepted party lines. ‘The Dakotas have had their battles over the Non-Partisan League. In Wiscon- sin the La Follette offshoot dominated the whole political fleld for years. In Minnesota the Farmer-Labor Party rose to a strength which has permitted it to debate serfously for State control. ‘These various movements have not followed parallel lines in all respects, but they all are illustrative of the tend- ency toward a breaking down of the ordinary party distinctions. What the Democrats hope to do this year is to extend this shifting about of party al- legiances to the national ticket on a major scale. Itself greatly outnumbered, the Democratic organization has made & gesture toward fusion of its national interests with those of the much strong- er Farmer-Labor party. Some Leaders Worrled. Some Republicans have shown frank concern over this situation, and even | as late as last week Senator Schall told | party chiefs in Washington that the situation in the State needed watching. Other Hoover leaders, putting faith both in the nominee’s’ farm proposals and In the great preponderance of nor- mal Republican strength in the State, have declared from the beginning that Smith’s Minnesota campaign was des- tined to overwhelming failure. In the past there have been few States so loyally Republican as Minne- sota. Her record for keeping out of the Democratic column is_exactly as perfect as Pennsylvania's. Even in th? Republican split of 1912 Wilson did not get the Minnesota electoral votes. They went to Roosevelt. Four years later, when Wilson swept the West, Minnesota went Republican, though it was by a margin of less than 400 votes. Harding took the State in 1920 by 519,000, and in 1924, when the Farmer-Labor party indorsed La Follette, Coolidge had a majority of more than 25.000 cver the combined vote for La Follette and Davis. The figures were: Coolidge, 420,759; La Follette, 339.192; Davis, 55.913. The extent of the Farmer-Labor sup- | port of Smith in Minnesota has not been definitely defined. The State's Farmer-Labor * Senator, Henrik Ship- stead, a candidate for re-election, has indorsed neither Hoover nor Smith, but | he has been making speeches attacking the Repubhcan policies at Washington. The Democratic nominee for Senator recently announced his withdrawal, whereupon the Democratic State chair- man said in a public statement that the | development_ apparently insured the | election of Shipstead over his Repub- lican opponent, Arthur E. Nelson. These are but few of the complexities of current politics in a Northwestern State. To describe them all weuld flil a newspaper. HITS G. CG. P. REGULARS.

By the Associated Preas. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.,, October 8 —Herbert Hoover pointed to his speech | Haven, | of March 12, 1927, at New Conn,, to show where he stands in re- gard to the St. Lawrence waterway, in a letter to Senator Arthur H. Vanden- berg, made public here yesterday. In bis New Haven speech Mr. Hoo- | ver had summarized the St. Lawrece waterway project as ‘“urgent to the prosperity of the vast Midwest." ‘The Hoover letter, which quoted the New Haven speech, was in reply to one from Senator Vandenberg, which sald in part: “I invite your attention to the fact that certain gentlemen of the opposition | b * * are pretending that your at- titude is changed. To answer all of these expedient, self-serving roorbacks is quite impossible. But I repeat the present fact and leave the matter to your own attention.” Mr. Hoover replied: “Just to show you where I stand, I may quote some passages from a speech which I delivered on March 12, | 1927, at New Haven, Conn.” | “I' propose to address you upon a great and urgent undertaking which confronts the people of tke North Amer- fcan continent: that is, the construction of the shipway from the Great Lakes to the sea—a project larger in its undertaking and potentialities than the Panama Canal. * * * It would remove a great barrier to world transportation. | It is urgent to the prosperity of the vast Midwest. It will contribute to re- lief of many of its post-war difficulties. “It will contribute a wealth of hydro- slectric power. It is a task worthy of the strength and purpose of the two sister nations who have in two centu- ries already overcome countless obsta- cles in implanting the most hopeful | civilization of history. But our major | purpose is to open a great and cheaper | transportation route. | “The construction of the St. Law- rence route after realization of the power may cover its entire cost, but in any event intermediate plans imply a cost of less than one-third the shortest New York route.

Moisan, an Episcopalian, president of the Women's Democratic Club of Balti- more, who urged all Catholic women to vote for Gov. Smith for President. This editorial also calls attention to the fact that there are a number of Catholics actively interested in Hoover's campaign, including Patrick H. Sullivan, | Republican national committeeman | from Wyoming, who denounced Gov. Smith's speech in Oklahoma, and | Kathleen Norris, one of the women actively seeking votes for Hoover. | This statement was made in contra- diction of the assertion that “all Catholics are Democrats.” ‘The Baltimore Review editorial said, in part: “The .tatements attributed to the woman referred to were impertinent and un-American and are deeply re- sented by all Catholics. “Catholic men and women are taught by their church to vote according to the dictates of their conscience. No Pope, no archbishop, no bishop, no priest, no layman has any right to ask any member of the Catholic Church to vote against his conscience. “The Pope would not dare to make the suggestion which the Democratic woman politician made to the Catholics | of Baltimore. His suggestion would not be accepted if he did dare. “The Baltimore woman's suggestion will recelve just as much consideration as it warrants—none at all.” BOULDER DAM PROJECT SURVEYED BY COMMITTEE Investigators Appointed by Dr. Work Will Report Finding to Congress in December, By the Associated Press.
