4 EVENING STAR., WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDB;ESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1928 THE ‘ HOOVER HAS EDGE N KENTUCKY RACE Big Swing Needed to Wean Votes Away From G. 0. P. Coal Case Issue. (Continued from First Page.) As a matter of fact. the Democrats would be overjoyed if on election night | it was found that Smith had a lead of | 2300. They have had an uphill fight | and are still facing it. Smith’s nomi- nation was the signal for a general at- | tack on the Democratic candidate be- cause of his membership in the Cath- olic Church, because of his member- ship in Tammany and because of his wet views. Thousands of Democrats turned against him. It is the job of the Deinocratic organization to get them back in_the party fold. « The Democrats say that tons of lit- erature attacking Smith, the Catholics and_Tammany, have been distributed in Kentucky, all of it anonymous, They charge it up to the Republicans, Some of this literature, they say, was obscene, and most of it libelous. It has dis- gusted Democrats who were ready to Vote the Republican ticket and sent them back into line foi Smith, they declare. { | | State Is Divided. This State is divided, roughly, into three sections. the eastern section, which is Republican: the Blue Grass rountry, which is Democratic, and the western, tobacco-growing region, which has always been very strongly Demo- cratic. The Democrats admit that many of the voters in the western section are off the reservation, on the religious and prohibition issue. They fear the defections there even more than In other parts of the State. They do not believe these Democrats will vote for Hoover in great numbers, but they do fear they will not vote at all. Here in Louisville the Republicans have been greatly encouraged by the registration figures. Under a court de- cision a considerable number of the voting precincts have bheen rearranged, and full registration and partial regis- tration has been made In 538 precincts. This registration showed 84.000 regis- tered Republicans and 64,000 registered Democrats and about 11,000 registered 85 independents. Last time the regis- ration showed about 8,000 more Re- ublican voters than Democrats in this city. When the lists have been finally rurged of all duplications the Repub- icans estimate their lead over the Dem- ocrats will be from 20000 to 23,000. There are some 16.000 independents reg- istered, and Republicans claim that 70 per cent of these independents will vote for Hoover, asserting that they have checked up on many of the independent Voters Kentucky went Republican in -1896 with a 281 plurality when McKinley opposed Bryan. About 5,000 gold Dem- ocrats that year voted for Palmer. In that year Kentucky cast 12 electoral votes for McKinley and 1 for the Dem- écrat, Except in that Instance, the State cast its electoral vote Democratic presidential candiZ since reconstruction days, 924, when President Coolidge carried it with a vote of 398966 against 374855 for Davis and 38,465 for La Follette. Hard- ing lost Kentucky to Cox in 1920 by about 4,000 votes. Revolution Is Claimed. Tt is clear that there must be a con- giderable turnover of votes to give Kentucky to Mr. Hoover by the plurali- ties claimed by Republican leaders. For the State to go Republican by 50,000 there must be a real revolution in things political. The Republicans in- sist that such a_revolution developed as soon as the Democrats nominated Smith. = Py Mr. Hoover is popufar n the State. The people remember his work" here during - t] Mississippi flood. It was one of the early States to leap on the Hoover. band wagon in the pre-conven- tion campaign. He has strong support among the women here, and it is to them that the Republicans are looking to help roll up a great vote on No- vember 6. Some of the Protestant preachers in Kentucky are thundering against Gov. Smith on the prohibition issue. . E. Y. Mullins, a prominent Baptist, has issued s statement indorsing the elec- tion of Hoover, and the Baptist pub- lication, the Western Record, is attack- ing Smith with great regularity. nings Bryan, Democratic candidate from once represented by Undersecretary of the Treasury Ogden Mil Florida; Mrs, Edith Rogers, candida Left to right: Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, Republican nominee for Representative at Large in Illinols: Mrs. Katherine Langley, Kentucky; Mrs. Florence P.

PHILADELPHIA, October 10.— A serious economic peril is confronting the industrial structure of the United States, requiring immediate upward tariff revision, Gov. John S. Fisher of Pennsylvania sald in an address last night before the Union League Club. The speech was broadcast. Gov. Fisher, urging the election of Herbert Hoover, assailed the Democrats | for sponsoring “false issue.” He ques- tioned the sincerity of their tariff plank and warned against the invasion of for- eign-made products. The situation had become so grave. he said, that the present tariff sched- ules must be raised to give the Amer- ican manufacturer adequate protection from foreign importations, which have increased until “the volume of imports | is now as large as in the final year of | the Democratic non-protective Sim- mons-Underwood act.” “We refuse to permit the overshadow- ing importance of the tariff to be ob- scured,” he added. TREASURE HUNT PLANNED BY AMERICAN PEN WOMEN Entertainment Scheduled for Sat- urday Afternoon in Aid of Pro- posed Memorial Clubhouse. A “treasure hunt” to obtain funds for the erection of the proposed memorial clubhouse of the National League of American Pen Women will | be held Saturday afternoon, 2:30 o'clock, at the home of Capt. and Mrs. C. C. Calhoun, at Chevy Chase, Md. The treasures will be hidden in the wood region surrounding the Calhoun home.. A paper chase on horseback, conducted by members of the Riding and Hunt Club, under the direction of Mrs. R. K. Smith, will be held later in the afternoon. Refreshments and entertainment will follow the paper chase. Special transportation has been provided. Tickets are on sale at the Willard Hotel and can be purchased at the entrance of the estate on the afterncon of the hunt. Mrs. Calhoun is chairman in charge of the affair, and the committee con- sists of Mrs. Charles Augustus Hawley, Mrs. Aaron D, Newman, Mrs. E. Rich- ard Gasch, Miss Evelyn S. Weems, Mrs. Theodore Tiller, Mrs. William Wolff Smith, Mrs. Edward Nelson Dingley, Mrs. R. K. Smith, Mrs. Angela McHugh Barr, Mrs. J. Harry Cunningham, Miss Loretto Lowenstein, Mrs. A, C. Cron, Mrs. Bertha Taylor Voorhorst and Mrs. Daniel C. Chase. CITIZENS’ BODY NAMES Senator Barkley was attacked in an nonymous pamphlet after he came out ?m' Smith declaring that Barkley pro- posed “to turn the government of Ken- tucky over to the Pope.” He made light of the pamphlet, asserting that he felt complimented by the suggestion that he could turn Kentucky over to any one, but not by the suggestion he would rn it over to the Pope. tu"BI‘I! if T did turn it over to the Pope.” he said in his campaign speeches, “if Kentucky was not. better governed fhan by the present Republican . gov- ernor, Gov. Sampson, I'd take it right back.” Wan by 52,000, Gov. Flem D. Sampson, by the way, was elected last year by 52,000 votes over his Democratic_opponent, former Senator Beckham. Beckham took the dry, snti-race track side in the election and Sampson stood for the liberals. Beckham, the dry, has finally come out ublicly for the election of Smith, and is announcement is believed to be a ¢onsiderable aid to the Democratic ominee. The Louisville Courier Jour- s0, after holding aloof for some e, declared for Smith and is con- ucting an active fight to carry the tate for him. Republican victories in Kentucky have nerally been achieved only when the | mocrats have engaged in rows among Republican governors and have been vic- rious under such circumstances. Not frequently the fight has been waged én wet and dry lines. Despite the fact that this e was once a great whisky manufacturing State, there is a strong dry sentiment in Kentucky, and thou- sands of Democrats are in favor of pro- hibitibn. Up in the mountains, where the natives have made moonshine since time immemorial, they have also voted dry for years. It is the prohibition issue lus the opposition to Gov. Smith on re- rmlnus grounds which is dividing the Democrats this year. The immigration issue also has been raised against Gov. Smith, since in his speech accepting the nomination for President he said that he believed a later census than that of 1890 should be used in arriving at the quota basis in the restrictive immigration law. Such a | change. it is held. would increase the | quotas from the countries in southern | and central Europe and reduce those in the northern countries. Same in Other States. The same opposition to immigration | is found in Kentucky that ix found in | Tennessee, North Carolina and other Southern States. Republican speakers here attack Gov. Smith on this issue daily Kentucky has three Republican mem- bers of the House—Thatcher of the Louisville district, Mrs. Langley of the tenth district and Robson of the elev- enth district. It is expected that they will all be re-clected. Republicans say | that if there should develop a real sweep for Hoover they might pick up another seat or two in the House. But the revolt among the Democrats is against Gov. Smith and not against the Democratic ticket otherwise The Democrats are making elaborate plans to welcome Gov. Smith when he comes to Louisville Saturday to deliver en address. They are counting a great deal on this visit of their candidate to Kentucky and promise to have a crowd of 40,000 to 50,000 to hear him. The hall in which he will speak holds 12,- 000, but plans are made for carrying LIST OF HONOR WINNERS Prizes Awarded by University Park Association in Competition for Best Kept Premises. William T.

The History of Presidential Elections X—Tippecanoe BY FREDERI ‘The presidential election of 1840 wasinrres of land and that he resigned his fought without an issue. tion to the dominant Democratic part The oppo was made up of so many diverse ele- | ments that it was impossible to adopt | a platform upon®which all could unite. Therefore the Whigs passed up th making of a platform, nominated a war | |hero and set. about a campaign of | | clamor with victory as its only object. | When the Democratic _convention | | tried to nominate a Vice President to | run with Van Buren, there was a hope- | less split. Vice President Johnson had | been elected to that position by the Senate. The opposition had not for- gotten its grudge against him. The convention adjourned without choosing | a vice presidential candidate. This led the Whigs to remind the country that the Democrats could not agree on a candidate, which brought the retort fhat it was better to agree on issues and disagree on men than it was to agree on men and be split hopelessly over principles, Remark Swung Election. ‘There have been two occasions in the history of the presidency when an unfortunate remark by the opposition gave a party its cue and swept it into the White, House. One of these was when the editor of a Baltimore paper wrote of William Henry Harrison that if he were given a barrel of hard cider and a pension of $2,000 a year he would sit content by his sea coal fire in his log cabin in Ohio the rest | of his days and study moral philosophy. That settled it. What finer oppor- tunity could there be for an appeal | to class prejudice? The Whigs took it up and straightway it became the log | cabin and hard cider campaign, a | campaigh in which a war hero was simply sung and shouted into the pres- idency. ‘The Whigs held their national con- vention the first week in December, 1839. Henry Clay was again in the race, but his Freemasonry weakened him in the East and his tariff views hampered him in the South. Clay wanted to be President, but he early announced himself to be for the man who had the best show to win. He wrote that if his name should create any obstacle to union and harmony, then “away with it.” Clay led on the first ballot, but Harrison was nominat- ed on the third. John Tyler was nom- inated for Vice President—it was claim- ed as a result of deal over a Virginia senatorship. He and William C. Rives | were candidates for the senatorship in | 1839. Clay agreed with Tyler that if he would leave the Senatorship to Rives, he would use his best efforts to put Tyler into the vice presidency. If this well attested story be true, Tyler became President simply by giving up what seemed a losing fight for a sent torship, Log Cabins on Wheels. ‘The Whigs worked themselves into & fine frenzy over their candidate. They built log cabins on wheels with bunks in them for traveling campaigners; cities and towns had Whig cabin rais- and housewarmings. Miniature cabins with a barrel of hard cider and a coon-skin nailed on a piece of plank by the door were everywhere in evi- | dence. “Contrast with the simple life of this man of the people,” exclaimed the Whigs, “that of the court of Van Buren, with its ruffied shirts, its dainty clothes, satin chairs and damask sofas. Listen to the fawning minions of power cast- ing sneers at the venerable hero of Tippecanoe on account of his poverty. Hear them urging against him that he is only a clerk in a county court. He who has fought more and harder bat- tles than any other warrior now living in the United States (this notwith- sanding Jackson was alive), who was governor of the Northwest territory, a Representative in Congress, a United States Senator and a Minister to a foreign court has come out of all these | offices poor. Had he been as un- scrupulous as they, he might have been as rich as Jackson and as aristocratic as Van Buren.’ In attacking Van Buren they ex- claimed from every husting, “What do ou think of the democracy of a Presi- dent who sleeps on French bedsteads, =nlks on Royal Wilton carpets, eats his | pate de foie gras from silver plates with | forks of gold, dips his soup a la Reine with a gold ladle from a silver tureen and rides in a gilded maroon coach of British make?” Harrison Takes the Stump. The Democrats complained that they could not get the people to listen to ar- gument or reason. At last they jumped into assailing Harrison. “Keep it before the people,” they said, “that Harrison supported the odious aifen and sedition | laws; that he wore the black cockade; that he voted for selling white men into slavery, a law that would make it pos- sible for a free negro to buy a Revolu- tionary hero and to administer 39 lashes if the Iatter attempted to escape. Keep it before the people that as Governor of Indiana he cut out all citizens from the right of suffrage who did not own 50 It is not necessary to have had an Ac- count at this Bank to and Tyler, Too. C J. HASKIN commission in the Army in the hottest of the fight in the last war." The Democrats forced the Whig can- didate to take the stump and thus started the American custom of presi- ential candidates devoting much of their time to speechmaking. They charged that Harrison was a fitter sub- | ject for a session of a lunacy commis- sion than for the White House and as- serted that he was kept in the back- ground because he would ruin his cause if he should open his mouth. The whole | Whig party was declared a party of padlocked lips. The result was that Gen. Harrison went on the hustings and | won many a vote by his speeches. Horace Greeley became editor of the Log Cabin that year, and his trenchant editorials and sharp paragraphs were | copied by Whig journals throughout the | country. His paper was a repository of | more campaign slogans and political songs than any other campaign paper ever brought out. It mattered not that Johnson. the vice presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket, with his own hand had slain Tecumseh, the chieftain for whose defeat Harrison became Tippe- canoe. He could not get into the hero class with Harrison at all, and in spite of the fact that his freinds tried to make the most of his feat, the hero worship still continued with Harrison. “Tippecanoe and Tyler, too!” was the popular slogan. The early States to vote were carried by the Whigs, and while Harrison's popular majority was not great, he won 19 of the 26 States, including most of the big ones. Van Buren won only New Hampshire, Vir- ginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Illinois. Missouri and Arkansas. The electoral vote was 234 to 60. The log cabin and hard cider hero had been sung and shouted into the White House, where he lived only a month. John Tyler, who was not much of a Whig at any time, but really an anti-Jackson Democrat, reaped the fruits of victory, and thoroughly upset | the party which had worked so strenu- ously for victory.

CHICAGO, October 10 (#)—Former Senator Henry Clay Hansbrough of North Dakota, chatrman of the Smith | Independent. League, last night attacked | Herbert Hoover's agricultural record in a radio speech broadcast by Station WBBM. “I have been a Republican all my | life,” declared Hansbrough, “and I have | a message to deliver to Republicans. It | is this: Any candidate for Congress or | for any other office, or any individual | who seeks to elevate Mr. Hoover to the | presidency on the ground that he is a friend of the farmer and can be relied upon honestly to solve the farm prob- lem, forfeits his right to farmer support. “Republican propagandists are broad- casting their defense of Mr. Hoover's record toward American agriculture— and if any man ever needed such a de- | fense it certainly is Mr. Hoover, who was brought from England, where he | had made his home for some 20 years, | to hold down the prices of the essential products of the American farm.” NOW READY FOR DUF. ‘The Army Retiring Board, convened | in this city, has been reorganized with the following members: Maj.

PN SRR TRACE§WAGE INCREASE FOR WESTERN TRAINMEN | Economist Says Scale Is 90 Per Cent Above Pre-War, With Living Up 65 Per Cent. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, October 10.—J. L. Jacobs, a Chicago economist, told President Coolidge’s railroad fact-finding commis- sion yesterday that.train service em- ploves of Western railways have in- creased their average annual earnings by 90 per cent since 1914, while the cost of living has advanced 65 per cent. He testified for the railroads in their wage and working conditions dispute with conductors and trainmen. Hé placed the average earnings of trainmen in the West at $2437; at $2,359 in the East and at $2,230 in the South. The wage increase of 6'; per cent offered by the Western lines, Mr. Jacobs said, would put the wages of Western conductors and trainmen at the highest level ever reached. Frank L.

In a letter to Michael Williams, editor of the Commonwealth, organ of the Cal- vert Associates, a non-partisan, non- sectarian organization formed to_com- bat religious intolerance, Dr. Butler wrote that it was the duty of American voters, without regard to party, to check bigotry, and asserted that this duty was more important. than the pro- tection of material prosperity. ‘The letter said, “I will take occasion to record the fact that no one who loves his country and who has any compre- hension of the intellectual and spiritual foundations on which it rests can be otherwise than deeply moved and pro- foundly shocked by the widespread ex- hibitions of ignorance, intolerance and r;:é!zhms bigotry manifested on every side.” J.

Chairman Work, in a reply to the letter of Chairman Raskob offering to resign if Work could prove Gov Smith | favors the Underwood tariff plan, de- clared last night that the Demoeratic nominee indicated his approval of the Underwood tariff in his acceptance speech, when he sald: “The Democratic party does not and under my leadership will not advocate any sudden or drastic revolution in our economic system which would cause business upheaval or economic distress. This principle was recognized as far back as the passage of the Underwood tarift bill.” Declaring that the Democrats are “beating about the bush” on the tariff question, Work wrote: Calls for “Showdown.” “Your candidate does not make him- self clear on the subject. Does he now approve the Underwood tariff law, as would seem to be indicated in his ac- ceptance speech, and as he and his party did when it was passed, or does he condemn it? “Do Gov. Smith and Senator Robin- son approve ‘the traditional poliey of the Democratic party in favor of a tariff for revenue only’ or do they not? “When I express mv bélief in the pro- tective tariff principle, I am able to point to the record of the Republican party from its birth in behalf of that principle, and can assure you that there is not a Republican candidate for Con- gress who does not join me in favoring a protective tariff, Defends Prosperity. “On the other hand., the record of your adopted party has been one of consistent opposition to a proteetive tariff. If vou were to undertake tn get the Democratic candidates for Con- gress to join you in advocating a pro- tective tariff you would be abandoned by most of them. GCongress is the branch of Government which passes tariff laws.” Recounting unemployment_problems following passage of the Underwood tariff bill, Work said: “I am told you deny that the eoun- try is prosperous, but 1t seems to me that the sale of 16.000.000 automobiles in this country in the past seven years is a sufficient answer to that. because this means that half of the families in the country have bought automobiles in that time. * * *" Manassas Democrats Meet.
