PENNSYLVANIASEES FIRST REAL BATTLE Democratic Efforts Give - State Close-up of Na- tional Politics. BY BYRON PRICE. Associated Press Staff Writer. PHILADELPHIA, October 25.—What- ever other purpose it may serve, the Democratic try for Pennsylvania has given the present generation of Penn- sylvanians their first real close-up of | naional politics i Ever since the time of Lincoln it has been the ordinary thing for this State l.to sit in her own spacious corner in presidential years, aloof in her unques- tioned Republicanism, busying herself with home affairs as she waited for the per moment to quietly hand over rich gift of electoral votes to the Republican nominee. ‘This year, however, the Democrats ve lighted up the premises with the u-ed fire of a Smith campaign. The Republican leaders, who four year ago carried the State for Coolidge by just phort of a million plurality, have re- fused to take the present Democratic nctivities very seriously, but neither do they propose to be caught napping. Interest Is Growing. ‘The result has been an appreciable interest everywhere. are well attended by the partisan$ of both national tickets. The rexm.ntinn figures have jumped by hundreds of thousands. In short, the State is taking notice, and is pre- paring to speak on election day with & voice that will be heard for some considerable distance. ‘To support these assertions that the returns will show Pennsylvania as rock- ribbed as ever in its Republicanism, the Hoover leaders point out that the new registration rolls, just completed, dis- close that seven voters out of every nine in the State list themselves as Republicans. The totals show 2,800,000 registered as Republicans and 800,000 #s Democrats. Of course, that does not mean that straight party tickets in these numbers will be voted on Novem- ber 6. Defections are expected, and not even the most optimistic Republi- can is claiming a two-million plurality for Hoover. The figures do emphasize, however, how great the defection would have to be to turn the State to Smith. ‘The effort to accomplish that turn- over finds its principal objectives in the larger cities and in the coal mining districts. Gov. Smith’s prohibition views have been counted upon as & powerful leverage, both in cities like The State has a large voters of foreign extraction, and many of them are Catholics. Here in Phil- adelphia, Seotor Vare's: Republican or- ganization has in jts own ranks many leaders who are both wet and Catholic, and Vare's own ‘llness during most of the campaign has not made for solidar- ity among his lieutenants. It was a combination of all of these elements which led Chairman Raskob to accede to the plea of Democratic leaders in the State that a real fight be made to swing Pennsylvania to the Democratic ticket. Samuel Rea, former president of the Pennsylvania Railway, accepted the honorary chkmnahlp of a Smim-!or-l’resldent “citizens’ organ- ization,” which is working here in Phil- adelphia in co-operation with the Demo- cratic State committee. It is holding nlgmly meetings throughout the dg and is organized in every ward. plans a monster demonstration when Gov. Smith comes to Pl speak next Saturday night. The citizens’ organization and the Democratic committee have adjoining offices on the first floor of the bullding in which Vare's own are jocated. It is a noisy headquarters, with an audi- torium in which speakers for Smith and Robinson address noon-day crowds. Amplifiers carry their words to plsurs- by or. the street and upward to the windows of Vare's seventh-floor suite, from which is strung & mammoth Hoover and Curtis banner. Dry Issue Looms Big. The real Republican headquarters, however, is & block away, out of earshot of the Democratic din which strikes so unaccustomed a note at the center of this Republican city. The Smith supporters: have made much of the prohibition issue in this State, and on that issue the Democratic nominee has lost the support of one of the outstanding Democrats of Pennsyl- vania, Vance McCormick of Harrisburg, a former national chairman of the party. It Is generally -conceded, too, that there has been defection on the religious issu bfi:h in city wards and country pre- cincts. On the Republican side, greatest re- liance is placed on the protective tariff. Party chiefs regard the tariff policies of previous administrations as having been potential in keeping Pennsylvania Re- publican, and they are preaching it at every opportunity. SOCIALIST ACT!ON URGED. SYRACUSE, N. Y., October 25 (#).— Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President, declared in an address here last night that “one way to progress is to have our own political party. Let us begin to build it anew.” “Does not our own self-respect call on us to build our own party?” he asked. “Is it not time to stop throwing away our votes by voting for what we do not want and getting it? Is it not time to roll up a protest vote which any victorious party must heed? It is always the minority parties which force the peace.” THE EVENING!
