Denies Estimate. Special Dispatch to The Ster. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November 1 —Indications that the Democrats will increase their congressional holdings | in Indiana to six and possibly nine seats are seen by observers in the closing days of the campaign. The Democrats now hold three con- gressional seats and it 1s generally con- ceded they not only will retain those but will add three more, with a chance in three other districts, in two of which the wet and issue has been raised. The United States sena- torship and the governorship are not at suge this time, but State candidates, including the sec: of Btate and the Legislature, are up for election. Most observers that the Demo- crats will retain the second, fourth and seventh districts, which they now hold, and will win the first, third and eleventh districts. On the other hand, it is expected the Republicans will re- tain the sixth, eighth, ninth and tenth districts, while fifth, twelfth and thirteenth are regarded as doubtful.

Crowe, a protege of the late Tom Taggart. Noble Johneon, Republican from the fifth, has a hard battle on his hands with the signs pointing toward his Democratic opponent, Courtland Gillen. Albert Hall, ge’publlun. is slated for defeat in the eleventh by Glenn Gris- wold, & young lawyer. In the twelfth David Hogg, Republican dry, is men- aced by Thomas Riddle, a compara- tively unknown but wet candidate. The same is true in the thirteenth, where the veteran Andrew J. Hickey, Repub- lican, is faced by Samuel Pettingill, a Democratic wet. Wood, too, is con- fronted by a wet candidate, Charles J. Murphy. Watson Sounds Keynote. The Republicans, following the key- note laid down by Senator James E. Watson, administration leader, have urged the election of a Republican House to uphold the hands of President Hoover in the next session, but the Senator wes obliged to dsop out of the campaign because of iliness. Senator ‘Watson frankly waded into the indus- trial depression, the chief reliance of the Democrats, and attributed it to world-wide economic conditions, but his colleague, Senator Arthur R. Robinson, insisted that it was entirely due to Joha J.

DEMOCRATS HOPE TO WIN OUT IN VERMONT Party Lines Will Be OVER DRY ISSUE Broken in First Dis- trict and Real Threat to G. O. P. Dominance in State. Special Dispatch to The Star. BURLINGTON, VA a State so politically one-sided s Ver- mont, the biennial November election is for the most part merely a ratification of Republican nominees made at the| September primary. This year, however, the eighteenth amendinent figures to such an extent that party lines will be | broken in the first congressional district | and some Democrats are hopeful tha their candidate, Joseph A. McNamara of Burlington, will emerge a victor. In a straight referendum on the liquor question it is quite possible that the dis- trict might vote wet, but the prestige of Gov. John E. Weeks, the Republican candidate, and the fact that the district is normally heavily Republican, will probably result in his election to suc- ceed Representative Elbert 8. Brigham, who declined to be a candidate for a fourth term. Gov. Weeks defeated H. M. Drennan of St. Albans, & wet Re- publican, for the nomination, but it is fdmitted that & man who could break the unwritten rule of only one term for Governor, as Gov. Weeks did, has a popularity that makes him probably the | strongest candidate the Republicans could select. Mrs.®A. L. 8. Orvis of Manchester, for years the woi member of the Re. publican National Committee from Ver- mont, resigned because of the party's stand on prohibition and now refuses to support its candidate for Congress, declaring that voting for a dry Repre- | sentative is a matter of political expe- diency and hypocrisy. A number of other well known Republicans are pub- licly supporting the Democratic candi- date and a campaign for him is being waged. Gov. Weeks, on the other hand, is conducting no campaign, at least openly, and declares that he is giving all his time to the business of being Gov- ernor, While some Republicans will un- doubtedly vote for McNamara as a pro- test against the elghteenth amendment and the Volstead act, party regularity will keep in line many others who voted for Drennan in the primary, and it is not likely that the normal Republican mn‘junty in the district will be wiped out. The nearest the district ever came to electing a Democrat was in 1922, when F. G. Fleetwood, dry Republican, had a plurality of only 162 over J. E. Kennedy, wet Democrat, in a total vote of nearly 36,000. Two years ago Representative Brigham had a plurality of 18,987 over the Democratic candidate. The liquor question has not been raised in the sec- ond congressional district and Repre- sentative Ernest W. Gibson of Brattle- boro is sure to be re-elected for a fifth term. His Democratic opponent is James Cosgrove of St. Johnsbury. No United States Senator is to be elected this year. In one of the warmest primary cam- paigns in the history of the State, Lieut. Gov. Stanley C. Wilson of Chelsea won the Republican nomination for Gover- nor. e only issue in the campaign was whether the State would bond itself for an aggregate amount of $10,000,000, with which to construct not less than 100 miles of hard surface highways an- nually for four years, or limit construc. tion to the number of miles that could be built from ordinary revenues without bonding. Lieut. Gov. Wilson stood for the pay-as-you-go policy, while his prin- cipal opponent, W. Arthur Simpson of the State Highway Board, advocated a bond issue. Opponents of bonding pointed out that the State three years ago issued bonds to the amount of $8,000,000 with which to repair flood damage, and until those were paid it n further deb would be unwise to t. Wilson's Democratic oppenent is Park H. . by a saving that can be made in various tional miles ot hard surface road can be built. The Governor at the last election was more than 60,000, but that was in a presi- dential year, and while nothing ap- proaching it is expected next week, Wil- son’s_election, together with the entire Republican State ticket, % a certainty. REPUBLICAN SWEEP IN IOWA FORECAST Democrats Concentrating Fight to Elect Senator Steck and B. M. Jacobsen. Special Dispatch to The Star. DES MOINES, Iowa, November 1.— Towa is all set”to elect Representative L. J. Dickinson, Republican nominee for | United States Senator, 11 Republican | Representatives and ‘the Republican | State ticket by traditional majorities in | the election Tuesday. The campaign in Iowa this Fall has | been a straight out party contest, fea- tured by & “stand by President Hoover” theme and the absence of any split such as took place in the 1924 senator- ial election. The Democratic campaign has been centered upon two candidates, Senator Daniel F. Steck, seeking re-election, and B. M. Jacobsen, Democratic candidate against Representative F. D. Letts in the second district. Neither Steck nor Jacobsen have been able to overcome | e Republican odds against them. The other 10 congressisnal candidates have | only nominal opposition. Although the Democratic State plat- form in Towa declares for & referendum | on_prohibition, the wet and dry issue | has cut little figure in the election. Dan W. Turner, Republican nominee for Governor, who was nominated in a heated primary as the advocate of a State income tax, has been fought in income taxation made by Turner’s primary opponents. All the Republican candidates have ignored the prohibition issue, and have urged a large majority for their ticket as a mark of continued confidence in President Hoover, native Iowan. Although interest in the election is not considered intense, because of the small strength of the Democrats in Iowa compared with the Republican dominance, meetings have been numer- ous and largely attended. It is antic- ipated that a vote of about 600,000, roximately 60 per cent of the qual- ed voters, will turn out. cmmsianns UPHOLD PROHIBITION NEW YORK, November 1 (). —Small, light blue cards were handed guests at the anual ball of the Honor Legion of the New York Police Department at the Hotel Astor last night.

G. 0. P. Revolt Aganist Schall. Betting odds were heavily on Schall until the last few days, but now are at even money. The situation is due to & widespread revolt among Republicans against Schall, partly because of his fallure to co-operate with the Hoover administration, partly on his alleged failure to function at Washington, and in part because of a revulsion against { the Senator, due to his campaign tac- tics. Republican leaders are pleading for party loyalty, and they do not deny | the danger of Schall’s defeat. Last-min- | ute calls have brought word from Sen- | ator Borah that he will be in the Twin | Cities Saturday for a series of Schall | speeches. Old Guard Senators, too, such as Fess, Smoot and Jones, have sent messages urging Schall’s re-election. Democrat Offers Co-operation. Senator Schall is not making Hoover speeches.
