(Continued From First Page.) sought to have a wet plank included in the party’s national platform adopt- ed at Houston. He carried the State in 1926 over his Republican opponent by about 60,000 votes. Bruce and Tydings Wet. Both Maryland's Senators, Bruce #nd Tydings, are wet and proud of it. Scnator Bruce is seeking re-election this year and is opposed by former Phillip Lee Goldsborough, now | president of a bank in Baltimore. Mr. Gol4shorough Las taken the same stand in favor of prohibition as that taken by Mr. Hoover Mr. Goldsborough is one of the two Republican governors that Maryland has had. He served from 1912 to 1916. His election came after a desperate conflict among the Democrats of Ma land, with one faction supporting Ar- thur P. Goiman, jr., and another Blair Lee for the gubernatorial nomination. Mr. Goldsborough is a good campaigner and is giving Senator Bruce a real race. If Mr. Hoover carries Maryland, Mr. Goldsborough is likely to win the Sen- atorship, although Senator Bruce will run motre strongly probably in the courties than will Gov. Smith. The Democrats insist, however, that Bruce will be re-elected and run along With Smith to victory. Senator Bruce has never made any bones about being a wet. He has been one of the leading opponents of pro- hibition in the Senate. He stands four square with Gov. Smith, head of the Democratic ticket, on this issue. That is more than can be of several other Democratic canc es for the Senate this year. Wets Shocked by Smith. ‘When Gov. Smith said in the West that prohibition after all was not the most important issue in the campaign, it gave some of the wets in, Maryland quite a shock. Some of the Republican ‘wets, who had been prepared to follow Smith, asked themselves why they should desert their own party for Smith if that was the case. Just as the Democrats are pinning their hopes to the Smith speech here | Monday,” so the Republicans are count- ing on Senator Willlam E. Borah of Idaho, who Is to_come here on Wed- , hesday. Senator Borah has been trail- ing Gov. Smith for weeks in this cam- pllgnw 5 and has proved effective in the est. Maryland may be divided as to Ea.lmes roughly as follows: Western ryland, Republican; Eastern Shore, Democratic; ' Northern. and Southern Marylang, ' some of a stand-off between - the two/“old parties, with Baltimore_City regarded as a Demo-! cratic stroj d. % ‘This year the usual order of politi- cal prefq ce is upset. On the Eastern Shore, for iple, the Demo- cratic vote been slashed very greatly, by the ‘raising of the wet ,&nd dry and because of the so- ealled religious issue. House-to-House Canvass. In Baltimore and in other parts of the State, the Democrats have under- | away with opposition to Gov. Smith on religious grounds. = They say they have had much success in this campaign, for once the religious issue is brought. | out into the open, it languishes. i The Democrats are claiming gains! among & number of the racial groups, parti rly the German-. and * the Italla ‘They say, too, that con= siderable numbers of colored voters will cast their ballots for Smith, although in the past they have voted the Re- publican ticket. The Afro-American, published in Baltimore, has come out for Smith editorially. Taking up the districts, the State by congres: following §s found to be‘the situation: . First district, which is the Eastern + Shore, is likely to go for Hoover for President; Goldsborough for Senator, and for Representaiive Thomas Alan Goldsborough, Democrat, for the House. Second district, probably for Hoover and a toss up in the Senate race; Representative Cole, Democrat, likely to be re-elected. Third District Line-up. ‘Third district, for Smith, Bruce for the Senate and probably John Philip | Hill, former Representative and Re- publican, for the House. Fourth district, may go for Hoover, for Bruce and for Linthicum, Democrat, | for the House. Fiftn district, probably for Smith, Bruce and Gambrill, the Democratic n«;xfnlnee for Congress to succeed him- el Sixth district, strongly for Hoover, for Goldsborough for Senate and Zihlman, Republican, for the House. One of the strangest and most pic- turesque of these political contests is that waged in the third congressional district, the southeastern part of Balti- more. Col.

Undoubtedly many Demo- cratic men who were strongly against Smith soon after the Houston conven- tion have been won reluctantly back to the regular Democratic ranks. But i is different with the women. They c:e not coming back so readily, and many of them are either openly espousing Hoover’s cause or flatly refusing to say how they will vote. The Star correspondent interviewed representatives of all three organiza- tions—the Smith Democrats, Anti- Smith Democrats and the Republicans. The information here given comes from men and women in positions which should enable them to know as much, if not more, than anybody else about col ditions. They have gathered all the in- formation they can, but all frankly de- clare that this campaign has “got them guessing.” T. Russell Cather is chairman of the Democratic campaign committee of Frederick County and the city of Win- chester. John W. Rosenberger is chair- man of the Anti-Smith campaign com- mittec. The Republican committee for the county is headed by Russell Potts, with H. B. McCormac as vice chairman. | Hardest Fight in 50 Years. “We are having the hardest election fight this section has known in 50 ‘ather, “and we expect a close result in the presidential bal- loting. I look for a Smith majority in Winchester of 100 and a Smith ma- Jority in the county of at least 500. I am quite aware that the other side does not agree at all with these figures. Normally the city and county com- bined give a majority to Democratic residential nominees of about 1,000, it not half the total vote is usually polled, because there is usually no real contest. “This year, however, it Is evident that the total vote will be away above any- thing in the history of this section. There is in reality only one issue here, although others are mentioned. That issue i8 Gov. Smith’s religion.” ‘The pro-Smith Democratic leaders admit the possibility that Hoover may carry Frederick County, but they do 1.0t thi he will. One of them informed this representative of The Star that more than 75 per cent of the Prot- estant ministers of Winchester are working openly for Hoover's election, and that the same condition, or some- thing very similar to it, obtains through- out the county. The significance of this is not only that this immediate section but the whole Valley of Virginia is overwhelmingly Protestant. _Just how much influence the anti-Smith preachers will have on the result it is impossible to say. That they will have me. perhaps a great deal, no one lenies. « Smith Sentiment Gains. Conditions seem to have improved somewhat for the pro-Smith Democrats lately, although the anti-Smith leaders also claim to have increased their strength. A month ago the anti-Smith leaders among the Democrats and Re- publicans predicted they would carry the county and city of Winchester for Hoover by 1,500, and the regular Demo- crats do not deny that they may have been right then.

By the Associated Pres NASHUA, N. H, October 27.—Gov. Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic presi- dential candidate, was declared by Sec retary Wilbur last night as preferring ‘0 “flirt with victory by asserting 1deasi irectly at variance with his party plat- orm” than to acccpt defeat by Herbert Icover on the ‘ariff issue. Asserting that the Democratic party loes not believe in a protective tariff,” lespite Gov. Smith's Louisville, Ky. peech, Secretary Wilbur said that t) Democratic party had demonstrated its antagonism to & protective tariff for 68 | years and its favoritism for a com- tive tariff. ‘The issue between the parties is plain and clear and unmistakable,” Sec- retary Wilbur declared, “and if proper- ly understood the result is equally clear—the election of Herbert Hoover.” He had opened his address by stating: that a majority of the voters of the United States believe in the protective tariff. “But the candidate of the Democratic party is not willing,” he said, “to ac- cept defeat on the clear-cut issue made by his party and he prefers to flirt with victory by asserting views directly ay variance with nis party platform and | exactly contrary to his acceptance speech and indorses the protective tariff. * * « The fact is, no candidate, high or low, can change his party's platform, nor. reverse the decision of its convention. * * * The party is not bound by the platform utterances of its candidate conflicting with its platform, and any promise made in op- position to its platform is null and void and of no effect. “If Gov. Smith really believes in the protective tariff, he should vote the Re- publican ticket and not try to convince those favorable to the protective tariff that he is or will be powerful enough to make the Democratic party accept the protective tariff, or make its elected officials in the Congress enact such a law in violation of the platform on which they are elected.” i Hobby Also Accused of Operating Auto While Intoxicated. Although booked at the sixth precinct for driving while intoxicated following his arrest when his car struck a parked machine, Edward G. Hobby, 36 years old, 1101 Florida avenue northeast, was charged with reckless driving when ar- raigned in Police Court yesterday. A fine of $25 was imposed by Judge Rob- ert E. Mattingly after Hobby had plead- ed_guilty. ‘The reckless driving charge was pre- ferred following a preliminary hearing gl the assistant corporation counsel's of- ce.

Republicans have high hope of wiping out the Democratic majorities in Winchester and Frederick County, ac- cording to Vice Chairman McCormac of the Republican campaign committee, wiho is also president of the Virzinia Manufacturers’ Association and general manager of the Virginia Woolen Co. of ‘Winchester. He - regards ' prohibition and farm relief as the dominant issues. “We believe,” said Mr. McCormac to ‘The Star, “that great numbers of men and women will not make up their minds how to vote for President until all phases of the campaign issues in! which they are particularly interested have been presented to them in an un- derst:ndable way. The injection of moral issues into this campaign has created a condition and aroused an interest that have heretofore not ex- isted here. Fight for Zistence. “The issues have appealed to the deeper emotions of the people, and the apathy which has usually been notice- able in the Democracy of Virginia has given way to a real fight for existence. Although the city of Winchester and county of Frederick are normally Dem- ocratic by 20 per cent, the Republican organization anticipates this majority will be entirely eliminated November 6, and unless the attitude of the voters changes prior to that day this city and county will undoubtedly cast a major- ity for Hoover.” ‘To a non-partisan observer it is quite apparent that the Republicans are mak- ing a much more determined effort to win Winchester and Frederick County for Hoover and Curtis than they have ever made for any other Republican nominee. While there has always been some sort of a Republican organization here, it has not functioned extensively beyond the election of delegates to dis- trict and State conventions until this Fall, when it seemed suddenly “quick- ened,” as one observer expressed it, “as crats think—or at least they hope with all the power that is in them—that the if by an electric shock.” Since then the Republicans have been carrying on a campaign for Hoover with the utmost Printer Collapses When He Learns of $250,000 Legacy By the Assoclated Press.

HUGHES ATTACKS SVITH POSITION: Takes Governor to Task and Explains Hoover “State Socialism” Utterance. By the Associated Press. BUFFALO, N. Y. October 27.— Charles Evans Hughes chided Gov. Smith last night for jumping “for the martyr's crown.” In his third political speech of the campaign Mr. Hughes defined the term, “State socialism,” as used b, Herbert Hoover in describing Gov. Smith’s pro- gram. “What Mr. Hoover meant by State socialism is plain,” sald Mr. Hughes. “He used the term in its proper sense as apolied to the Bismarckian philos- ophy of the centralization of Govern- ment dominating all the activities of the people. Mr. Hoover is a liberal and opposed to State socialism. “It the governor’s proposal for modi- fication of prohibition is not the method of State socialism, as stated by Mr. Hoover, I do not know what it is.” If the goverpor is for the equalization fee for farm relief, Mr. Hughes said, it would be the “most gigantic program of Government in_commercial business ever proposed.” If Smith is not for Government operation of power plants then he is with Hoover, who insists upon complete rontrol by the Govern- ment, the speaker added. He chal- lenged the governor to clarify his posi- tion on both of these issues. Attacks Liquor Position. “If you put the State in control of the manufacture and sale of intoxicat- ing liquors,” he added, “you will have either no restrictions at all or else the most widespread corruption.” He said it would be futile to think of modifica- tion because the Supreme Court will never hold that it has the right to invalidate the eighteenth amendment or the Volstead act. “That, I believe,” he said, “is one incscapable fact. Congress cannot pass a valid act which would give to the States authority to manufacture and sell intoxicating liquors contrary to the Constitution.” Turning to the speech delivered in New York by the Republican presiden- tial candidate to which the governor took exception in his last address at Boston, Mr. Hughes said that “if any one has called measures in the inter- est of health and human welfare, such as Gov. Smith cited, socialist measures, it is not Mr. Hoover. “If any one has opposed Gov. Smith as being socialistic in relation to such humanitarian legislation, it is not Mr. Hoover. 1Is any one in this campaign opposing Gov. Smith with respect to such welfare legislation? Quite the contrary. The Republican party is stating its own progressive record.” CANDIDATES MAKE REPORT OF EXPENSES Kean of New Jersey Heads List With $18,070. Spent on Cnm}nign.

By the Assoclated Press. EN ROUTE WITH SENATOR ROB- INSON TO DES MOINES, Iowa, Octo- ber 27.—The most important speech of a long tour in the farm belt of the West lay before Senator Joe T. Robinson to- day as he traveled south through Min- nesota to Des Moines for an address to- night over an extensive radio hook-up. At the Towa capital he intends to marshall all of his arguments on the farm-relief issue to send into the homes of thousands of farmers. His conten- tion is that Herbert Hoover's New York address “seals the doom of agriculture” if he should be elected President. Stresses G. O. P. Broken Promises. The Senator has been hammering away on what he has called “the broken promises of eight years by the Repub- lican party” in his series of Middle Western addresses, but nowhere has he had the extensive radio facilities that awailt him at Des Moines, and he conse- quently prepared to make the most of this opportunity. His speech in Duluth, Minn,, last night_was devoted to an attack upon the Republican prosperity issue and the Republican policy on farm relief. ‘The nominee recited succinctly the oil scandals, the Daugherty investiga- tion, the Forbes trial and the alien property disclosures. Hoover Assailed. He declared: “Are those examples of | the dashing, daring leadership of which Mr. Hoover boasts and concerning which he remained as dumb as an oyster and as silent as the sphinx?” ‘The nominee read a statement he said was made by Senator Norbeck, a Re- publican of South Dakota, in the Sen- ate that Hoover “did not have sufficient interest in the affairs of his country to vote until he was 43.” Senator Robinson is due in Des Moines at dinner time this evening. To- morrow he will travel to Peoria, and after three speeches in Illinois will wind up his campaign in Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia | |“UNFAIR” PROPAGANDA CHARGED TO REPUBLICANS By the Associated Press. RALEIGH, C. N, October 27.—0. M. Mull, chairman of the Democratic state committee, in a statement last night charged that the Republicans and anti- Smith forces were circulating unfair propaganda to the effect that Gov. Smith of New York favored an equality | of negro and white in New York. Mull sald that the forces opposing Gov. Smith are circulating in this State “a picture purporting to be that of Fer- dinand Q. Morton, colored, member of the Municipal Service of New York, dic- tating to a white stenographer.” Saying that the literature purports to “hold” Smith responsible for the colored man’s appointment, Mull de- clared that Morton was appointed to office by the administration of Mayor Hyland, whom Gov. Smith opposed and that his term of office has not expired since Mayor James J. Walker, Smith's candidate, took office. He added that colored persons appointed to positions on school boards and similar control- ling units in New York were given of- fice through laws enacted by the Gen- eral Assembly, which is “controlled by Republicans.” He also charged that the forces that appoint these colored per- sons to office are now the forces “sup- | porting Herbert Hoover” for President.

NEWARK, N. )., October 27.—Lead- ers of the Democratic party in Hudson County, in which the names of more than 40,000 registrants have been stricken from the voting lists on grounds of illegal registration, organ- ized yesterday to have the courts de- clare unconstitutional a recent State law under which the voters were de- clared disqualified. J. M. Walsheld, county counsel of Hudson, served notice on George T. Vickers, attorney of the Hudson County board of elections, that he planned to| appeal to the Court of Errors and Ap- | peals the Supreme Court decision which upheld the constitutionality of the law Vickers announced he would combat the appeal on the ground that the Court of Errors was without jurisdic- tion, and Phillip Klen, counsel to the Essex County election board, said he would help him. Appeal May Be Taken. The law, known as the Wolber law, empowers the superintendents of elec~ tions to remove from registry lists names they believe to have been ille- gally affixed. Appeals may be taken to the courts. Declaring that of 20,000 names be- lieved to have been stricken from the Essex County lists by Supt. Rachlin 90 per cent were in Democratic wards of Newark, the legal committee of the county Democratic committee has es- tablished a bureau to aid the fight of those against whom action was taken. Two attorneys charge they were ejected from Rachlin's office when they at- teipted to assist a woman who went to_file a protest with the board. Frank J. Reardon, assistant corpora- tion counsel of Jersey City, charged the | Hudson County board deliberately was delaying the consideration of appeals | so that the appellants would not have sufficient time to go to the courts if the board rules adversely. “They are trying to rob the Demo- crats of votes,” he said.

NEW YORK, October 27 (P)A—Anl additional grand jury will sit next week investigation into alleged fraudulent registration in New York City, District Attorney Banton announced yesterday. Mr. Banton said a request to this end had been made by Attorney General Albert Ottinger. Several hospital registration lists and 1700 names registered in the Bronx were being investigated, in addition to reg- istrations in other parts of the city, it was disclosed. The New York County Supreme Court refused an application to have 65 inmates of St. Francis' Home, on East Fifth street, removed from registration lists. In Brooklyn, Miss Sally Kramer was arrested on a charge of false registra- tion. She testified that State Senator Philip Kleinfeld, Democrat, of Brook- Iyn illegally gave her a certificate of literacy, but she failed to identify Kleinfeld. LABOR EDITOR DEAD. W. H.

HOOVER POSITION DECLARED DISTORTED Pamphlet Charged With Misrepresenting His Views on “Open Shop.” Democratic By the Assoclated Press. Charging that the position of Herbert Hoover on the “open shop” had been deliberately misrepresented in a pam- phlet distributed by the labor division of the Democratic national committee, W. N. Doak, director of the labor bureau of the Republican national committee, | issued a statement yesterday in which he declared that Hoover did not make remarks attributed to him in the pamphlet issued by the Democrats. ‘The Doak statement, addressed to all labor bodies, said Mr. Hoover was quoted as telling the Senate labor and education committee on May 14, 1920, that “the principle of individual freedom requires the open shop,” in the pam- phlet which was issued by George L. Berry, chairman of the Democratic labor division. A review of Mr. Hoover’s testimony before the committee, Mr. Doak’s state- ment recited, “will disclose that Mr. Hoover did not make the statement ac- credited to him by Mr. Berry. “Therefore, the information contained in the circular distributed by the Demo- cratic national committee does not square with the factd. On the con- trary, the testimony of the Republican nominee for the presidency will show conclusively that instead of taking an antagonistic attitude toward labor, his | utterances were favorable thereto.” Mr. Doak called on all labor bodies to rescind any action unfavorable to Mr. Hoover which might have been taken on the strength of the Demo- cratic pamphlet and explained that ef- forts had been made to have Mr. Berry correct the statement, but that so far he had not done so.

Cannot Compete. “Judging from its long record of achievements under a protective tariff system, it seems that with the lower foreign standard of living, wages and low cost of production, American labor and industry cannot successfully com- pete with foreign production—certain not the American farmer tilling his farm with jts estimated value of $100 and $200 an acre. “I believe that the farmers are en titled to farm relief administration * * * There are differences of opinion as to by what method it may be mad effective. * * * Fee Not An Issue. “The equalization fee is not an issuc Nowhere in any part of the platforms is it specifically mentioned, nor can any specific comr ‘ttment to it be found in either party platform.” Brookhart described Hoover as know- ing “more about handling farm sur- pluses than any other man in the | world” and George N.

But more im- portant probably has been his stand against prohibition in a district that has no usa for prohibition at all. For months now Col. Hill has campaigned, and it is said that the swing has finally set in toward him in the district. Col. Hill, however, is running under circumstances even more difficult than usual In the third district. The Repub- lican presidential candidate is dry and | §0 is the party’s candidate for the Sen- ate. Both Gov. Smith and Senator Bruce, on the other hand, are extremely wet. The district is likely to go strongly for Smith. Under these conditions, a victory for Col. Hill would be a real accomplishment. Maryland. © gave both President Coolidge: and the late President Hard- ing its electoral votes. Harding carried the State over Cox by 56,000 votes, President Coolidge had a lead of 14,000 votes over John W. Davis four years ago, but in that same election La Follette polled 47,000 votes. If thos» Progressive votes were added to the Democratic votes of 1924, then Presi- dent Coolidge had only a minority vote in the State. McKinley carried Maryland against Bryan in 1896 and McKinley turned | the same trick in 1900. In 1904 and 1908 Marvland's electoral vole was split, though the greater part of it went to the Democratic presidential candidate. Not a little interest attaches to the result in Maryland this year, It is one of the States which Smith needs to win, and it is one of the border States, which have frequently gone Demo- cratic, that the Republicans are mak- ing strenuous efforts to carry. o Up to the very last minute before election the pro-Smith Democrats in- tend to carry on their work upon indi- vidual voters. The other side seems de- termined to follow their example in this respect. Although many persons contend that liquor and not religion is the chief issue, others disagree with | them. Coples of the Fellowship Forum, the Menace and other anti-Catholic and anti-Smith literature, attacking the Democratic nominee on account of his religion, his liberal views of the liquor question and other issues, have been circulated in enorrous quantities here and throughout this and other nearby counties. A veritable flood of it has found its way into Winchester. One of those who look upon the liquor iscue as paramount is Mr. Rosenberger, who speaks for the anti-Smith Demo- crats, “I regard this as a great set- tling period,” said Mr. Rosenberger to The Star correspondent. “The time has come to end all this fuss over pro- hibition. It is time for us to show that this section and this State stands fore- square for prohibition, and stop the areumont. “I am not a politician. I am only standing where I have always stood— in favor of prohibition. I have always voted the straight Democratic ticket, but this year I prefer to vote for a man wh» represents my principles—my view of life—rather than a man who stands for ail or most of the things I have always opvosed, even though that man ‘lix ‘a Democratic nominee for Presi- ent.” Work for Harrison. Mr. Rosenberger hopes that Repre- sentative Thomas W. Harrison, Demo- cratic member of the National House from the seventh congressional district, of which this county is a part, will “pull through.” It is against Smith as the presidential nominee that he end his associates are fighting, not the Democratic candidates. _“But,” sald Mr. Rosenberger, “I be- lieve Representative Harrison is suffer- ing some from the gencral defection. I look upon the result for President in this county and city as problematical. ‘The great silent vote will decide.

Mr. McCormac recently in- troduced Mr. Garber to an audience that packed a large theater here, and it is declared by observers that the crowd which heard the Republican congressional candidate speak that night was fully as large as that which at- tended the Democratic rally here ad- dressed by Senator Glass of Virginia, who is campaigning in behalf of Smith and the regular Democratic ticket. However, it appears to detached ob- servers that Representative Harrison will run ahead of the Democratic presi- dential nominee, for the reason that many anti-Smith Democrats intend to vote for him. They have no intention of leaving the Democratic party. They are against Smith only in this cam- paign, and after it is over they say they will be as good Democrats as they have always been. When representatives of both sides declare that it is the most hotly con- tested campaign here since the Civil War, and that the result is in doubt, with a normal Democratic majority of sizable proportions to be met with, but entirely abnormal conditions to face, they have told the story in a nutshell.
