SHIPSTEAD 1S KEY IN MINNESOTA RACE May Be Relief Valve for Lib- erals That Will Give Hoover State. (Continued from First Page) farmer-labor Senator. Senator Robert M. La Follette, jr., of Wisconsin, is to Bank Head Dies address a meeting in St. Paul tonight In the interest of Shipstead's candidacy The Wisconsin Senator spoke at sev eral meetings vesterday out in the State for Shipstead. Senator Norris of Nebraska has al- ready been here and is expected to re-| tu.n and make a final effort for Ship- stead. Other Progressive Senators, like Frazier of North Dakota and Howell of Nebraska. have troubles.of their own. | campaigning for re-election. or. other-| wise. They too, might come into Min- nesota to say a good word for Ship- stead. For a while, séme months ago, it looked as if the Farmer-Labor party in this State might go on the rocks and resolve itself back into the Republican and- Democratic parties, wherever its members wished to go. It was even| thought” that Senator Shipstead might seek nomination for the Senate as a Republican. But along. came Pre: dent Coolidge’s second veto of the Mc- Nary-Haugen farm bill. and the Farmer- Laborites saw red again. Anyway, Ship- stead declared he was going to run for the Senate as a Farmer-Labor can- didate. Party Has Others Out. Senator Shipstead is not the on! candidate for office which the Farme: Lebor party has in the field this cam- paign. Tt hes-a candidate for govermor and eandidates for Congress from several districts. But Senator Shipstead i in the limelight to an_ extent that none of the others are. Minnesota has two Farmer-Labor members of the House | now, Kvale of the seventh district and Crass of the eighth district. Al ‘the other membeérs of the House from Minnesota are Republican, eight in number. In the first congressional district Ostly, the Farmer-Labor nominee, has withdrawn,” and the word has pass>d sround that he is favorable to the Democratic nominee there. Kershaw, Farmer-Labor nominee for the House in the second district, also has with- drawn, and he has openly announced that his withdrawal was in favor of the Democratic candidate. In ‘the third district Arens., Farmer-Labor can- didate, also sought to withdraw, but he was too late, and his name will stay on the ballot. Out in the tenth congressional dis- trict, the Democratic nominee for the House has_come out and urged the gcmofl:rfls o vote for Shipstead for the enate. Playing a Lone Hand. These unusual moves on the part of Democrats and Farmer-Laborites seem to indicate an effort to unite the forces | of the two parties in senatcrial and mn-f gressional races. The big bid, on the gart of the Democrats is, it seems, to zve- Shipstead throw his ‘influence to | Gov. Smith, in the presidential race. But - so far, the bid has not been ac- complished. Shipstead is saying nothing 2nd if his intimates are to be relied on, he will rontinue to remain: as silent as the ‘Fgyiisn Sphinx:>'He s playing a lone hand ed will play it through to Indeed, he is playing such a Jone hand that some of the Farmer-Labor Dpeople themselves are-not satisfied. They are inclined to say that he is seeking :!y for- his owgme'thgml and that he makifig no e elect. others on the Farmer-Labor ticket. i« ‘The “Farmer-Labor- cahdidate in the tenth congressional district has issued ; lelt;,et;_ -z:,;cwhgesn%m fiercely and leclaring thaf arty should be abov individual clndld&s. ’ s But in spite of ‘this jealousy, Ship- stead continues populdr with the rank and file of the Farmer-Laborites, and at the same time has a hold on many ?; tthehnldhlme R«guhflcnns. who believe at he has made .a good W;{s‘?s\lnswfl. record In _ opponent for -the Senate, Mr. Nelson, is an able an@ adroit campaign. er. He has challenged Senator Ship- stedd to debate with him in many of ththuj)miea, b:?d it is said that if such_jof iebates ctould be arranged KIr, Nelson plans to ask Senator Ship- stead how he stands as between Hoo' #nd Smith and where he stands on the wet and dry issue. So far Senator Shipstead has ignored the challenge the joint debates are not likely to m terialize, it is said. G. O. P.

Each makes his appeal to these Scan- dinavian groups. lican organization in the State is work- ing hard to encompass the defeat of Shipstead and the election of Nelson. They want, they say, to_reclaim the Btate utterly from the Farmer-Labor party. When Senator Curtis, ‘Republican candidate for Vice President, came into Minnesota campaigning, he gave his indorsement to Nelson. But to many. it appeared there was some reluctance about this indorsement. However the State organization may feel about the senatorial race, the national organizh- tion is somewha® shy when it comes to offending Shipstead. Senator Borah ‘of Idaho, the clean-up hitter tor the Re- publican national outfit this year, when he came to Minnesota and undid pretty much all the work that. Gov. Smith had done for the Democratic ticket in his St. Paul speech refrained from campaigning for Shipstead, but he had his picture taken with Shipstead the day after he, Borah, had spoken here. Many Backed La Follette. ‘The Farmer-Labor party and its adherents may play a very important part in the presidential election in Min- nesota. They followed the former Sena- tor La Follette almost to a man in the presidential race four vears. For a time it looked as though La Follette would probably carry Minnesota, but in the last week or two, the Republicans made a great finish and landed Cool- idge a winner. When all the ballots were counted, the President had polled 420,000 votes to 60,000 for Davis and 339,000 for La Follette, The Democrats are hoping that this biz La Follette or Farmer-Labor vote, which ever one may choose to call it, will go to Smith, and that all the Dem- ocrats_wiX line up for their national ticket ‘and that many disgruntled Re- publican Tarmers and Republican wets will go over to Smith, too. * But-4ll_the-La” Follefte vote is not going to Smith in. this State, Careful check-ups in this-city show that Hoover will get one-third -at least of the votes that were cast here four years ago for La Follette. Senator Shipstead is as mum as a wooden Indian when it comes to talking about Smith and Hoover. He is not indorsing either of them, nor going to. But it is a hun- dred ‘doHars to a plugged nickel that i{ he had to indorse one of them, he would not indorse Smith. Johnson Favors Smith.

His visits to Europe invariably were accompanied by talk in the money centers of the world of some pending financial development of magnitude. Leading European bankers conferred in New York with Mr. Strong in July, 1927, arousing much speculation on the purpose of the conference, which he allayed by explaining was merely an exchange of views on financial and economic subjects.

The nominee, who now is engaged in stumping Texas, sald he passed up the Arizona engagements after being advised of cancellation of his speaking dates. Last night, as at Houston Sun- day night, Gitlow was refused use of the Labor Temple for a campaign speech. Here he also was refused use of a second hall, and finally secured a roof garden, where he spoke to 200 people.

Washinrtonians who Hove to vote by mail this year. but who are doubtful concerning the laws of their home States on the subject, may re- ceive the necessary information by Qirestine fnquiries to The Evening follows: Voting Information, ews Jepartment, Evening Star. The aquestions and answers will be published each day. Q. Please enlighten us on the follow- ing questions: “A and B married and made their home in Michigan both having made their respective homes in that State for a number of years pre- vious to their marriage. In May, 1918, A enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, and saw service in that organi- zation until April 1919. A and B then went to Denver, Colorado, where they purchased a home and voted. In Feb- | ruary, 1921, A received a Civil Service appointment in the Departmental Ser- | vice in Washington and his status is that | of a residence 6f Michigan due to his en- listment in that State. A &nd B both wizh to vote and have filed applica- tions for registration and ballot. Have they a legal right to claim their State rights? They no longer own property nor vote in Colorado.—Mrs. J. McF. A. When A and B moved to Cplorado, purchased property and voted, they were residents of Colorado and had no further claim npon the State, of Michi- gan. The only way.they could acquire a voting residence again in Michigan would be to live there six months. Q. I was born in Pennsylvania, but have been living in Washington- for several years. I am not in the Govern- ment service. I have never voted. Am I ‘entitled to vote in Pennsylvania, and | can I send my vote by mail? What is | the amount bf the poll tax in- Pennsyl- vania, and wheh must:it be paid?— | Question of Residence. A. Your right to vote in Pennsylvania depends entirely upon whether or not you can claim residence in that State. From the information you give I judge that you have taken up permanent resi- dence in the District of Columbia and could not be considered a resident of Pennsylvania. There is no provision for voting by mail. The amount of the poll tax varies with the different counties from 60 cents to $2. It must be paid not later than October 6. Q, Yesterday I called at one of the headquarters for registration, and as I understood that. persons in the Govern- ment were entitled to a vote by mail in Minnesota. I found that the county of Ramsay oath required a continuous res- idence during the six months just previ- ous. to election for eligibility to vote. Please explain, as I believe there is som¢ mistake.—Mrs. K. K A. You are confusing the matter of legal resigence with actual gg\yflcll presence. e constitution of the State of Minnesota requires that in order to vote one must haye been a resident of the State six months, and the applica- tion for registration recites this fact, but neither the constitution nor the law contem.‘:lnes that you must have been physically present there during the six months immediately preceding eléction. If such were the case there could be no such thing as absentee registration and voting by mall. North Carolina Case. Q. Mr. P..and I weré residents of Asheville, N. C., for more than a year. We registered there last year. Can we vote by mail?>—Mrs. H. H. P. A. You should write to the chairman of the county Board of Elections and make sure that your names are still on the books of the registrar of your pre- cinet and, if not, you would have ‘o present_yourselves in order to be regis- tered. You can vote by mail, and the application forms are available at either the Republican headquartérs, 823 Fif. teenth street northwest, or the Demo- cratic headquarters, 1411 G street northwest. Q. I voted once In West Virginia, In- gram Branch County Fayette, since coming to the Capital City two years ago. I haven't pajd any taxes in West Virginia. Can you tell me if T can pay these back taxes and vote at this next election either by mail or gaing back there. West Virginia is the only State in which I have voted.—H. B. A. There is no tax réquirement for voting in West Virginia, and both regis- tration and voting are permitted by mail, the last registration date being October 23, The necessary blanks can be obtained from either the Republican headquarters, 823 Fifteenth street north- west, or the Democratic headquartfers, 1411 G street northwest. Naval Status Raised. Q. Please inform me whether or not I am_eligiblé to' vote in the State of New York. While in the United States Navy I lived in Brooklyn, N. Y., for over one year. Have never registered. Will ii be sible to vote by mall? If so, what is t::.flntl date for registration?—W.N. A. Your eligibility to vote in New York State depends entirely upon how long you have been out of the Navy and what your occupation has been since that time. If you are still in Government service or in any other oc- cupation which will explain your ab- sence from the State, you are eligible to vote; however, the last day for regis- tration was Saturday, October. 13. Q. My home is in a town in New York State where I have voted until last elec- tion, when I was here and will be here this coming election, Please tell me if T can vote by mail and how?—NO NAME. A.

C,, residing in Maryland, de- | clared his intention to become a citi~ zen of Maryland. If he changes his in- tention, and desires to retain his voting rights in Idaho, the State from which | he came to enter Government service, may he do so? He has not followed up his declaration of intention by regis- tering or voting, though he has pur- chased property there—R. S. O. A. As residence is largely a matter of |intent, he would not lose his rights to | register and vote in Idaho until he has actually completed residence in some other State. Q. If I may register and vote by mail in the State of New Hampshire, please been in Gov- ernment service for seven years. New Lflln'gpsmn is my legal residence.—O. A. If your residence is in a town of more than 600 population, it will be nec- essary for you to register in person, as there is on provision for registering by mail. You may, however, vote for presi- dential electors by mail. To do this, you should address the town or city clerk for the application form on which to apply for the official ballot, Bay State Residence Tssue, Q. I work for the Government, and claim Cambridge, Mass., as my legal residence, giving my mother's address. I am not registered, but would like to vote this year.

Considers Younger Pupis. Dr. Carusi said it is his plan to give tion in any new building program which may be framed because of his convie- tion that the younger children can make poorer headway amidst unfavorable conditions than can the older boys and girls of high school age. “So strongly do I feel the handicaps under which the little children are be- ing obliged to work —in frame shacks and on part-time schedule —that I place the correction of conditions in- volving them even before the establish- ment of a school for crippled children, and I have deep sympathy, too, for the latter school,” Dr. Carusi declared. New legislation for the administra- tion of the schools is difficult to obtam, Dr. Carusi said, unless the bills pro- posed by the Board of Education hap- ven to meet with the full approval and pleasure of the Commissioners. At present it iz requared that proposed bilis governing the schools be submitted firct to the Commissioners, who then may transmit them to Congress. Under this practice the Commissioners may simply “forget” or pigeonhole legislation about which they may feel indifferent or, per« haps, opposed to. One Bill Ts Listed. Among bills to suffer this fate recent- ly is that drafted by the Board of Ed- ucation to permit teachers to take leave of absence for purposes of study with- out loss of their full pay. Under the rovisions of this bill a teacher on such relve ‘would receive the difference tween his salary and that which would be paid to a substitute, who naturally would be compensated on a lower scale. This bill was submitted to the Commis- sioners, who subsequently asked thaf the citizens’ bodies express opinions con- cerning it. Although these bodies sub- mitted reports of favorable action dur- ing the last school term, nothing more concerning the bill has been heard from the Commissioners. Because of this situation, Dr. Car- usi plans to seek authority from Con- gress this term to present proposed school bills directly to the Senate and House District committees, which would then send coples to the Commissioners with power to demand action in the form of an expression of an opinion from these officials after a reasonable | 1a) of time, g’l:nunfly. the president of the school board feels that the school estimates should be submitted directly to the Bureau of the Budget before whom the Commissioners would be able to appear along with school authorities to thrash | out the relative importance of the school needs and those of the District Government departments. The school board, unwilling to admit that it does not already possess authority for this course reinrmnx proposed legislation, last month returned to the Commissioners its original estimates for 1930 without making any changes in- volving the cutting of practically $1,000,000 from the total in accordance with the Commissioners’ request. All these proposals for the better- ment of the school system will be in- cluded .in the school board's program of action during the next few weeks and the consensus is that this year will witness one of the greatest strides toward a smooth-running school system of any recent year.
