The Republican campaign headquar- tars occupied the entire building at 813 Pifteenth street, and, according to members of the committee who have been identified with former campaigns in ths District, the headquarters were most satisfactory. Report Effective Work. Chairman Prescott, in reviewing the | campaign, said Republicans were well organized, and that by presenting a united front they did most effective work. While eonducted under aus- pices of the Republican State Com- mittee in and for the District, the actual campaign committee was made up of representatives from the several Republican organizations in the Dis- trict. Mr. Prescott and Edward F. Colladay, Republican national com- mitteeman for the District, represented the State committee; William Tyler Page and A. E. Chaffee, the Republican State Voters’ Association; Edgar C. Snyder and Thomas P. Littlepage, the League of Republican State Clubs; Mrs. Virginia White Speel, Republican national committeewoman for the District, and Mrs. E. A. Harriman, the League of Republican Women of the District; John Lewis Smith and Wil- | liam J. Dow, the Hoover and Curtis Club, and Dr. C. H. Marshall and Thomas L.

Dr, Hubert Work. chairman of the Republican national committee, dur- ing & recent visit to the local head- quarters, was generous in praise of the work done here. Besides the informa- tion , the local committee con- ducted half a dozen large rallies, as well as a number of smaller meetings.

RASKOB SEES PANIC IN COOLIDGE’S NOTE| By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 3.—John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, today issued the following statement concerning Cool- * idge’s announcement last night on Her- bert Hoover: “More definite evidence of the pan- icky conditions surrounding Republican headquarters could not be had than President Coolidge’s last minute state- ment for Mr. Hoover. I am afraid the pardon came too late.” Concerning the ahnouncement today that William G. McAdoo would “pre- | serve” his party allegiance, Mr. Raskob had this to say “I have always appreciated the fact that Mr. McAdoo was an ardent dry, but I have never doubted his democ- racy.” National Woman's Party Members Back G. O. P. Ticket By the Associated Press. The National Woman's Party in a statement signed by 23 of its leading members last night said they had become convinced that they could best carry on the fight for equal opportunity for women with men by supporting the national Republican ticket. The signers of the statement declared that they would support the Hoover-Curtis ticket “because we believe after -careful consid- eration of their past records and their present positions that in their election lies greater hope for the movement for the free- dom of women than in that of any of the other candidates be- fore the country.” Among_the signers, as an- nounced by the party, were Mrs, H. O. Havemeyer of New York, Mrs. Thomas Hepburn of Con- necticut, Mrs. Donald Hooker of Maryland. Gail Laughlin of Maine, Alice Paul of New Jersey and Emma Wold of Oregon.

This reputation is helping him vastly in this campaign, according to all reports. Population 255,717, The district includes the following | counties: Allegany, Frederick, Garrett, Washington and Montgomery. Its pop- ulation, according to the 1920 census, was 255,717, and it has increased much since then, especially in Montgomery. Garrett, is the county that is farthest west. Geographically, politically and com- mercially the district is perhaps the ! most interesting in the State, outside of Baltimore City. It extends from the borders of the District of Columbia, at the head of tidewater, through the mountainous region of the Appalachian system, rich in coal and other minerals. ‘The Blue Ridge and the Allegheny Range cut across the district. The district embraces a large por- tion of the valley of the Potomac River, which forms its western boundary near Washington and its southern boundary along the western tler of counties. It extends beyond what geologists call the Allegheny Front and includes part of the high plateau through which the Potomac River cuts its tortuous way, and where that river and numerous of its tributaries rise. The extreme west- ern end of the district is even beyond the watershed, which divides the east- ward from the westward flowing streams. The water of a few of its western streams finds its way into the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Ohio and Missis- sippi rivers. The western tier of counties, ex- clusive of Montgomery, have never bzen considered as southern communities in any sense of the word. They helped keep Maryland from seceding from the Union in the Civil War. Civil War History. ‘Twice this section of the State was | invaded by Lee's Confederate army in force, and one of the bloodiest battles of the war, Antietam, was fought in ‘Western Maryland. The other time Lee invaded it, he crossed over into Pennsy- Ivania and fought the great battle of Gettysburg, not far from the Maryland line.” Once again this section of the State was invaded by the Confederates, when 30,000 men under Early crossed into Maryland and marched through part of FPrederick and Montgomery County by way of Rockville. They actually invaded the District of Cotum- bia and fought a short battle at Fort Stevens on what is now Georgia avenue. The sixth district, besides its mineral Tesources, contains some of the most fertile farms in the whole Nation. It is intersected by many splendid auto- i mobile roads. Its chief railroad lines | are the Baltimore & Ohlo, and Western | Maryland. Representative Zihlman is confident hat the western portion of the con- sional district, at least, will give rge majority to Hoover. Zihlman's Estimates. “The western tier of counties in Maryland,” said Mr. Zihiman to The Star, “will give approximately 15,000 majority to the Republican ticket and will be the determining factor in carry- ing the State’s electoral votes into the Hoover column. “Garrett County will give 2,500; Alle- gany, 7,500; Washington County, 2.500, and Frederick, 2,500. In addition to | these Montgomery will very likely give | a majority for the entire Republican | ticket this year. With this majority | in Western Maryland, added to what | the other counties in the State will | give, it will be impossible, to my mind, | for Baltimore City to overcome thess | figures. | “The Republican committee has been very efficient and the county commit- tees have co-operated in a way that has not been equaled in my years of experience in public affairs. They have the victory won and it is now only a question of holding the line.” Mr. Lewis has been speaking almost every day to audiences all over the dis- trict since early in the Summer. To most of his meetings he has taken a moving picture machine to help draw crowds and press home his arguments. He has been, as usual, appealing chiefly to the labor element, which is strong in the western part of the district, especially in the mining regions and the railroad centers at this city and other points, Everywhere he has gone Mr. Lewis has spoken in favor of a Federal old-age pension law and similar measures calculated to appeal to the labor vote, Voters Increase. There has been a tremendous in- creasc in thz number of registered | voters in this and all of the other counties of the sixth district. In 1924 Coolidge carried Allegany County, in which this city is located, by 4,500 majority. Privately the Democratic leaders here admit that Hoover will not do any worse than that and prob- ably will get a much larger majority. ‘The anti-Smith element in the Demo- | was annulle THE SU D};Y STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., NOVEMBER 4 1928—PART 1. % SENATORSSE FLEGTON TUESDAY 120 Democrats, 13 Repub-| { licans and 1 Farmer-Lahor | Stand for 71st Session. | Several factors will combine to give added interest to the senatorial elec- , tions Tuesday. Although 36 senatorial clections are to be decided Tuesday, only 34 of them relate to the make-up of | the new Seventy-first Congress. The winners in the other two senatorial ! races will serve only until March 4 { mext, to finish out unexpired terms. Of the 34 Senate seats at stake 20 were held during the last session by Democrats, 13 by Republicans and 1 Farmer-Labor. | ‘The division of Senate membership at the close of the last session was 47 Republicans, 46 Democrats, 1 Farmer- Labor and 2 seats vacant. Since the Republicans have only 13 of their pres- ent membership up for election Tues- ! day, as compared with 20 seats now 2ld by Democrats to be voted on, the Republicans have a better opportunity of making a gain in the Senate. Floor Leader to Go. Another interesting phase of the elec- tion with regard to the Senate is the fact that one of the two major po- litical parties is certain to lose its Sen- ate floor leader as a result of the vice presidential election. Majority Leader Charles Curtis is the Republican nom- ]mee for Vice Fresident, and Minority Leader Joseph T. Robinson,of Arkansas is the Democratic candidate for the same office. One of these two veteran Senate leaders will move up after next March from the Senate floor to dais of the presiding officer. The elections Tuesday also will pick successors to three present members of the Senate, who will terminate their service March 4. Senators James A. Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, and George P. McLean, Republican, of Connecticut, did not seek renomination. The third, Senator Earle B. Mayfield, Democrat, of Texas, was defeated in the Democratic primaries in his State by Representative ‘Tom Connally. The seat being relin- quished by Senator Reed of Missouri is being contested Tuesday by Charles M. Hay, Democrat, and Roscoe C. Patter- son, Republican. The candidates for Senator McLean's place from Connecti- cut are Prederic C. Walcott. Republican, and Augustine Lonergan, Democrat. In two States special elections I‘(ll' be held Tuesday to pick men to serve in the Senate only during the coming short session, to finish the unexpired terms of the late Senators Andrieus A. Jones, Dsmocrat, of New Mexico, and Woodgridge N. Ferris, Democrat, of Michigan. Following the death of Sen- ator Jones, the Governor of New Mex- ico appointed Senator Bronson Cutting, who served part of the last session. Senator Cutting is a candidate for the six-year term beginning next March, but some one else will be elected to serve for the next four months. In Michigan, Senator Arthur H. Vanden- berg, Republican, named by the gover- nor following the death of Senator Fer- 1is, is the candidate for both the unex- pired portion of the present term and for the six-year term beginning next March. ' Situation in Ohio. In Ohio, SCenator Fess, Republican. is up for re-election, and that State also will elect a Senator to complete the un- expired term of the late Senator Willis, Republican. Upon the death of Senator Willis his seat was filled at the last ses- sion by the appointment of Cyrus K. Locher, Democrat. Senator Locher was defeated in the Democratic primarics in Ohio by Charles V. Truax, and the Republicans have nominated Repre- sentative Theodore E. Burton, who served in the Senate a number of years ago, as their candidate for the unex- pired Senate term. 3 In Idaho a special election is being held as a result of the death last Sum- mer of Senator Frank Gooding, Repub- lican. John Thomas, who was appoint- ed by the governor following Senator Gooding’s death, is the Republican nom- inee to complete the term, with Chase Clark as his opponent.

Candidate for Governor of New York Charges Nominee Voted for “Handout.” By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 3.—The charge that Gov. Smith as an assembly- man_ voted for a water-power grant, which Franklin D. Roosevelt, Demo- cratic gubernatorial candidate, now publicly denounces as a “handout.” was made in a.speech tonight by Attorney General Albert Ottinger, Roosevelt’s Republican rival. “The only attempt in New York State to dispose of the public title to water- power resources,” asserted Mr. Ottinger, “was in the grant to the Long Saulte Development Co. in 1907. My opponent * = = referred to it as a ‘handout,’ but he failled to mention that among the members of the Legislature who voted for this grant was Assemblyman Alfred E.

This is Democratic estimate and the leaders of the party hope to make up the loss by some switching of wet Republicans to_Smith. La Follett= polled a heavy vote in this section je 1924. The Democrats think they wil get at least half of this vote for Rmith this year. Zx-Judge Willlam C. Walsh of the Maryland Court of Appeals, who is the sookesman for the organization of Gov. Ritchie in Allegany County, said: “The Republicans expect to carry the county this year by 7,500, but I do not think their majority will go that high. I think we can hold them to 6,000 or even 5,000 majority.” Democrats’ Opinlons. Confidentially ssveral Democratic leaders in this city, who are in close touch with the- situation in Western Maryland, expressed the opinion that Zihlman could not lose the district un: less there was a big Democratic “up- heaval.” “And there is no sign of anything liks that now,” said one of them. Col. Nelson W. Russler, chairman of the Republican State central committee for Allegany County, exudes confidence. “Zihlman will carry the district by the largest majority he ever received,” declared Col. Russler to The Star cor- respondent. “In Allegany County I think the Hoover majority will reach 8,500, and Hoover will carry the sixth ! DENGRATCLAS | CONERESS CONTROL Gain of 30 to 60 Seats Is| Predicted by Oldfield for 71st Session. By the Assaciated Press. NEW YORK, November 3.—A gain of not fewer than 30 and possibly as | many as 60 in the Democratic member- | ship of the House of Representatives in | next Tuesday's balloting was predicted | in a statement issued today by Repre- sentative William A. Oldfield, chairman | of the Democratic national congres- | sional committee. This would mean Democratic control of the House of the Seventy-first Con- gress by a margin of not fewer than 20, and possibly as many as 50 votes. Chairman Oldfleld said that his fore- cast was based on reports from “reli- able sources” and from every section of the country. “In the Fast.” the statement read in part, “the enormous popularity of Gov. Smith, our candidate for President, will help carry many Democratic candidates for Congress to victory. In the agricul- tural sections we are certain to win many districts on the farm fssue. In such agricultural States as Illinois. | Jowa, Kansas, Minnesota and the D: kotas there is a deep conviction that only by the election of a Democratic | administration can the farm issue be solved satisfactorily to the farmers. Farm States Forecast. | “My information is that we will gain anywhere from 12 to 20 Congressmen in the farm States I have mentioned. We also expect to make gains in the | far Western States, notably Utah, Ne- | vada, Oregon and Washington. “On the other hand, there is no rea-I son why we should lose a single con- gressional district now represented by | a Democrat. This is true even in the | border States of the South. While it| has been admitted that some Demo- | crats oppose Gov. Smith on the prohi- Ditfon jssue or possibly may even refuse to vote for him because of his religious faith, it is well known that this opposi- tion does not extend to Democratic candidates for Congress. “The remarkable popularity of Gov. Smith in ordinarily Republican States like Pennsylvania, Illinois and Massa- chusetts will help our candidates for Congress tremendously, and in the estimate of a turnover of not fewer | than 30 districts I have been extremely conservative. For instance, in the New England States, I have included a turn- over of only four districts in estimating | a net gain of 30, whereas it is more | likely we will gain seven or eight. | Explains Figures. “I am claiming in this minimum es- | timate of 30 a net gain of only two in| New York and of only six in Pennsyl- vania, whereas it is more likely we, will gain 10 or 12. I am only including | in this estimate three in Illinois, where we are more than likely to gain a half dozen or more. And so on through the | remainder of the States. “Even in the district of the Repub- lican floor leader of the House, Repre- sentative John Q. Tilson of Connecti- | cut, the Republicans are in a state of | alarm, and there is an even chance that Mr. Tilson will be defeated.” HESSE EXPLANS VOTING OF POLICE Superintendent Corrects Er-| roneous Impression of Elec- tion Day Order. | Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police, yesterday hastened to correct an erroneous impression gained by many members of the force to the effect that a recent police order would prevent them casting their ballots on election day. The order which was posted in the various police stations read: “Except in cases of extreme emergencies no leave of ;:segce will be granted on Novem- Maj. Hesse told The Star that the order was not intended to deprive any policeman from voting in nearby Mary- land or Virginia if he has that privilege, So far as he had been advised, Maj. Hesse- stated, no member of the force would be deprived of his right to vote. Policemen living in Maryland and Virginia, he explained, are expected to arrange their tours of duty so that they will be given an opportunity to cast their ballots and return in time for duty at night. Other members of the force having the right to vote in distant States have voted by mail. 200 on Force Vote. It is roughly estimated that more than 200 members of the police force in ‘Washington enjoy the right of franchise. Anticipating the necessity for increas- ing the force in the downtown section on election night, Maj. Hesse issued the order to refuse leaves of absence next ‘Tuesday. Handling of these crowds will require a force of 107 policemen in addition to Maj. Hesse and several of his commanding officers. It is the in- tention of the superintendent of police to be on the scene as late as extra serv- ice on the streets is necessary. Suggestions to Autoists. 1t is realized by Maj. Hesse that traf- fic conditiors probably will not be the best, and 1t is suggested that owners and elner drivers of cars may benefiv by parking their cars some distance Zrom where the crowds on the streets will be greatest. In all probability, Maj. Hesse will arrange several detours to avoid the possibility of drivers endeavoring to get through congested places at the pos- sible expense of human life. Should definite information as the result of the election be delayed until long after mid- night Maj. Hesse will have to call out a relieving squad, and to do this, he stated, it will be necessary for him to have the benefit of the services of every avail- able man. Fire Damages Home.

MOSES ESTIMATES By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, November 3.—In a final campaign speech delivered here tonight, Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General, declared prohibition to-be ‘a policy enshrined in the hearts of religious leaders of all de- nominations, Catholic as well as Prot- estant. She asserted that “the mod- ern prohibition movement began in | Ireland in the middle of the last cen- tury with Father Mathew,” and that “not only have the great Protestant leaders followed in his footsteps, but all the spiritual leaders of his church in modern times have championed his cause.” Applying the statements to the pres- ent campaign, she said that the Ameri- can citizen, “the most tolerant one on earth,” would demonstrate a “loyalty to prohibition as deep-seated as his re- liglous convictions themselves,” and bring about the election of Herbert Hoover. “The prohibitionist has been perse- cuted and pilloried by every precocious or unprincipled editor in America,” she concluded, “and taunted and insulted by the very leaders of the Democratic party itself. And because he has stood his_ground he is called to task by a shallow intelligentsia and those who hurl the epithet of bigot for political effect. “Loyalty to prohibition is not dis- loyalty to the Catholic Church, as the politicians whisper, but loyalty to God, America, humanity and the great Catholic leaders who conceived it flnd-} fought to make it a blessed reality.” | 80,000,000 Colds a Year.

BOSTON, November 3.—Twenty- three men and women, including a 18-year-old girl high school student, were arrested here today while engaged in a Sacco-Vanzetti demonstration in front of the State House. They were charged with violations of city ordi- nances, and later were released on bail. The party, headed by Harry J. Can- tor of Boston, candidate for secretary of state on the Workers' Party ticket, had marched from Boston Commo: where a meeting had been scheduled, and, bearing placards, began a slow procession back and forth on the side- walk in front of the Capitol. State and municipal police, who had been forewarned of the demonstration, were on hand, however, and, after per- mitting the demonstration to continue for 10 minutes, arrested the par- ticipants.
