October 20.— Unless 2l signs fail the Republicans net only will elect a United States Sen- ater in Indiana, but the majority of the representation in the Congress the death of Eenator Ra'ston. both United States Senctors and 10 of the 13 Representatives have bcen Re- publicans. 4 This year Senator Rebinson, appoint- ed originally by Gov. Jackson {o suc ceed Ralston. is running for re-election 2gainst Albert Stump, comparatively unknown young man who almost de- feated Senator Watson two years ago. The seenatorship rare. which unde any other circums‘ances would be ex- citing, has been submerged in the more general interest manifest in the presi- dential and governorship contests. Polls indicate that Robinson is run- g well up with Hoover and m political observers agree that he prob- ably will inich in that pesition. How- ever, anal recall that Stump is a vigorcus personal campaigner and that since his debut into politize he has fooled 2 good many of the wiss prog- nosticators. Both Men Are Dry. Both men are drv and both have the tmdorsement of the Indiana Anti- Salcon Leagus, but E. S. Shumaker. superintendent of the organization. is giving Ecbinson the benefit. Robinson is being attacked for his clo ship with D. C. Stephenson. former grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan and now serving a life sentence for murder. but it is doubtful, inasmuch as that was used against him in the election two years ago, that it will have much effect. He also has been placed under fire for his now famous “bir ther” speech in the Senate ator Harrison took him to a trim- ing, but the adroit Senator has turned that castigation into a lone-handed vic- tory for mimselt. ersonally a drf.mt:g' a Tittle trouble in readjusting himself to the candidacy of Gov.

He repeated later in the Fall when he carried the State to the borders of Lake County, which alone saved Senator Watson. H came back last Spring and soundly de- feeted Walter Mvers, formerly Demo- oratic nominee for mayor of Indian-| apolis, in the primary.

Probably the most interesting con- gressional race is that between Louis Tudlow, veteran Washington newspaper correspondent, and Ralph Updike, Re- publican incumbent, in the seventh dis- trict, which includes Indianapolis. Up- | dike was raised from a State repre-| sentative t5 Representative by the Klan | in 1924, and was re-elected in 1826, each time leading his ticket. Within the last year, however, the Marion County grand jury reported that he had signed a contract with Stephenson | for the disposal of his patronage, but nothing could be done abcut it, be- cause the statute of limitations had | expired. He furthermore is regarded 2s a protege of the Coffin machine, which is under fire in Marion County.

Cashman. in favor of Senator Shipstead. but he failed to reciprocat> with any kind words for Gov Smith. The Democrats are sup- porting him and thus are bidding for Farmer-Labor support of Smith. Silent to Questions. The Senator not only has the support of two political parties, but has many active and, open adherents among Re- publicans. Some of them say that the nator persenally is for Hoover. however, in reply to all a tions, that he is taking no part in the national contest. “I have my own fight to make” he remarks. His speeches | generally are eritical of Republican | policies and records, but avoid any ref- erence to the candidates for President. He has been quizzed about prchibition. but has avoided any commitment. _Hoping to corner the Senator, Mr. Nelson the other day challenged him to a series of joint debates. He de- clined, however, to elter the schedule made for the campaign or to take Mr. Nelson in to address his meetings. Things have broken rather badly for Mr. Nelson. Several of his Senate col- | leagues - have come into the Staie to | talk for Mr. Shipstead. Nor: La Fol- | lette and Nye have made a sories of | addresses for him, under no party aus- pice: Senator Borah cam2 into the State and spoke for Hoover, but let 1t known that he iz friendly to Ship- stead. Mr. Nelson, first scheduled to preside at the Borah meeting, did not attend. Senator Curtis cams into the State and indorssd Mr. Nelson a‘ Duluth, but forgot to dn =0 on the platform in St. Paul, Mr. Nelson's heme town. Tireless Campaigner. The Republican candidate is a “whirl- wind” campaigner, 37 years old, who won the nomination of his party over two strong rivals in a spectacular peaking campaign. He is tireless and a good miker, He was mayor of St. | Paul for two terms. but has never run for any other office. Perty lines are badly broken in this as in other contests. the votes of many Democrats who do not like the withdrawal of their own candidate Paul and is expected to carry that city strongly, though Smith also’ will earry | it. On the cther hand, he will not do much better than break even in Minneapolis, which reports indicate Shinstead majorities in many rural counties, normally publican, The Senator's own party seems to be isintegrating. The campaign is built around him and the other candidates on the State ticket are little heard of. There is complaint among third-p: men that the Senator considers him- self “bizger than his party.” His sup- port, it is true, is largely personal, and in his spseches dwells on in- dependence of party lines. The odds favor Senator Shipstead's election. In the 10 congressional districts indi- cations are for fow changss in the del: gation line-up, and in mast of the di tricts interest is lacking in the con- sssional race. G. 0. P. May Gain.

BRUCE AND GOLDSBOROUGH WAGE MARYLAND CONTEST Prohibition Is Paramount Issue in Race. Doubt- ful So Far. Results in Four Congressional Districts Are Fair’y Certain. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, Md., October 20.—With the prohibition issus paramount, the senatorial race in Maryland is g hotly run between Senator William Ca- bell Bruce, Democratic nominee, and Fhillips Lee Goldsborough, Republican candidate. Mr. Bruce is the wet and | Mr. Goldsborough. a former governor of the State, the dry. The outcome of this race todav is doubtful. It probably will remein doub: ful until the last bz1lot is ccunted. Mu-h depends_on the outcom2 of the pr dential fiight in Marvland. Shou'd Gov. | | Smith have a landslide in Baltimore, | undoubtedly Senator Bruce would ride ate for another six years | But if Gov. Smith does poorly in Bal- timore, Senator Bruce's prospects of re. election would not be bright. His candi- dacy will be subjected, in large measure, to the same factors that will attach themselves to the candidacy of the presidential nominee. | Supported by Wets. | | It is true that Senator Bruce will not | be hit as hard in the counties as the presidential nominee, because of the re- | ligious issue. On the other hand, many | Progressives will vote for Gov. Smith, ibu'. will withhold their support from | the Democratic Senator. Many other | Democrats do not like Senator Bruce's | party irregularity. This loss, however, | will' be offsct to some extent by Repub- | licans who will vote for him. Senator Bruce has the support of the Association Against the Prohibiticn Amendment. He has been outspoken in nis denunciation of Volsteadism. For this will receive a largs vote in the wet | sactions of Baltimore. Mr. Goldsborough | has the active support of the Anti- | | Saloon League, and, although he has | | not made his position absolutely clear, | he has asserted that he stands with | Mr. Hoover on the prohihition question. | | For that he will receive the support of | the militant drys. There are no other clear-cut issues be- | tween the two men. Mr. Goldsborough in his speaking campaign, which he started only two weeks ago, devotes con- siderable time to talking about the tariff and “Republican prosperity.” However. Senator Bruce has always stood for a tariff on canned tomatoes. straw hats and other products manu{actured in Maryland. | Four Fairly Certain. In the six congressional districts in the State, the results in four are fairly | obvious at this time. These districts | are normally Democratic and are now represented by members of that party. The incumbents will be returned to office, it is expected by non-partisan | observers, | | In the first district, Representative | Goldshorough is being opposed by A.| | Stengle Marine, Republican nominee. | Two vears ago Mr. Goldsborough car- tied this district, which comprises the | | whole Eastern Shore. by a majority of 7486 votes. At the same time Mr. Marine ran for a judgeship in a circuit comprising four of these counties and lost by a margin of 2873 votes. His greatest strength lies in the four coun- | ties in which he was defeated in 1926. Both men are supporters of prohibitior Representative Cole of the second dis- | | trict has as his Republican opponent | vinwood L. Clark, who also opposed him in 1936 On that occasion Mr | Cole's plurality over Mr. Clark was 115.978.

Representative Linthicum from the fourth district was first elected to Con- gress in 1910. He has been re-elected since then and is expacted to win easily this time. His Republican opponent is John P. Brandau. member of the Balti- more City Council. Both men are wet and both have been indorsed by the anti-prohibition association with the preference going to Mr. Linthicum be- cause he now is the leader of ths wet bloc in the House. 1 | Gambrill Oppose: In the fifth district, whi South Baltimore and the Maryland counties, Oliver Metzero Republican, is seeking to oust Repre- sentative Gambrill, Democrat. It is the first time since 1914 that the Re- | publican nominee hes bsen a memb>r | of the famous Mudd family, which held this s=at in Congre:s for abeut twenty- six years. Mr. Gambrill appears to be strong-r | than in his two previous campaigns in th> district. His majority two years 2go was 5,000 and since his friends ars grooming him as gubernatorial timber | for 1930, it should be larger this vear Mr. Gambrill is a wet and has the wet association’s indorsement.

LYNN KIRTLAND. KEAN GRANTED EDGE 1% GEORGIA DELESATIOM IN NEW JERSEY RACE Ldwards Hit by Republican Lean- ing of State in Presi- dentie]l Years. Spactal Dispatch to The St NEWARK, N. Octeber Senator Edwards of New Jerser. test thember of the Upper Hou: running for re-election. and, strange it may seem. ths Anti-Saloon Leagu has no candida‘e against him. The Jeagus has withdrawn its suppsrt from Mr. Edwards' Republican oppenent Hamilton F. K+an, becaus~ he has pub- licly stated he is as wet Senator Edwards. Edwards will profit by this condition. for the probability thousands of Anti-Saloca Leaguers in New Jersey will vote fer no senatorial candidate. Tt is a closs fight, regardless. with Kean favored to win. Edwards is one of the Democrats’ best vof tters in New Jorsey, having been e g0 ermnor and United States Senator by substantial majorif but he is handi- capped by MNew Jersey's Republican leaning in p-esidential years. Edwards is making an active cam- paign, reaching far more people than Kean. He is the most effective campaigner by far, and in an off year would have no trouble disposing of Kean. The latter is counting on going in on the Hoover vote, although he is supporting an expensive organization of his own. Th» senatorial campaign is not at- tracting as much attention in New Jersey as are the presidential and gubernatorial campaigns. Willlam L. Dill. D*mocratic candidate for governor, has a chance to carry the State. Smith and Fdwards will run thousands of votes behind him. Morgan F. Larson Republican _ gubernatorial candidate has made a poor campaign and has lo: for himself a largs RepublicAn ind: vendent vote that will go for Hoover, Kean and Dill. The New Jersey congressional dele- gation now stands 9 Republicans and 3 Democrats. After November 6 it will probably be 10 Republicans and 2 Democrats.
