"' BARRAGES FIRED | s Actions of Administration in » v Depression Serve as Party Battlefield. A final barrage of criticism and de- fense of the Hoover administration went out over the air last night from Democratic and Republican leaders to * wind up the radio campaign for the congressional elections. Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic National Executive Com- mittee, and Senator Robinson of Arkan- sas, the Democratic minority leader, spepking here over the National and Columbia Broadcasting Systems turned loose the final guns of the opposition. Over the National system, from Pitts- burgh, James Francis Burke, general counsel of the Republican National Committee, appealed to the electorate to give Hoover a Republican Congress and thus leave his hands free to provide a steadying influence to a- world beset with political and economical diffi- culties. Administration Is Assailed. Shouse gave assurance that if the Democrats are given control of Con- gress everyone “may be of good cheer,” because every action taken would be “solely with & view to the betterment ©i the American people.” Senator Robinson asserted that “the agents of the administration have merely stood by and looked on with fear and trembling while conditions have grown from bad to worse” and that “nothing is being done, nothing is proposed that any one seems to believe promises a return of prosperity.” e Shouse predicted “without question’ the election of a Democratic House and expressed the opinion “there will be such Democratic gains in the Senate that control of that body also may pos- sibly pass into the hands of the Demo- c party.” 'Will Seek to Aid Public. Promising that if this happens there will be no attempt to embarrass Mr. Hoover, Shouse said the Democrats, - in control of one or both of the legislative bodles, will formulate and carry through a constructive pro- , seekiny only to serve the bes| .

Both Shouse and Robinson said the major legislative atcomplishments of the Hoover administration were the farm relief and tariff acts which they described as faflures. Urges Opposition to G. O.

By the Associated Press. DALLAS, Tex., November 4.—Perfect ‘weather conditions m:enlled in Texas for the blennial election, but, aside from the s e, there was little to induce the voters to the polls, the usual Democratic majori*v apparently being cinched. Democratic nominees for State offices were generally expected to win, as they always have. Only one congressional seat was in doubt as between party candidates, the Democrats having waged a big fight to retire Representa- tive Harry M. Wurzbach, Republican, 4 in favor of Henry B. Dielmann, Demo- crat, in the fourteenth district. HEAVY VOTE IN KANSAS Total of 500,000 to 600,000 in State Forecast.

Prohibition, unrecognized by either party as a national issue, has all but the stage in many locali- ties and any overturns will be scru- tinized with extreme interest by wets drys. Not only are the possible fortunes of President Hoover in 1932 thus entangled with today’s verdict at the polls, but the result is fraught with potentialities for other outstanding fgures in Ameri- can politics. Among other things, the election will decide whether Franklin D. Roosevelt, groomed by his supporters for the presi- dency, will be re-elected Governor of New York or voted out of public life. It will determine whether the time has come to confer the title of Senator- by-election on a woman, Ruth Hanna McCormick of Illinois.

In two-thirds of. the States measures | of legislation or public policy are be- fore the voter for direct action by| referendum. Prohibition provides the medium for three, Illinois and Rhode Island voting their opinions whether the eighteenth amendment should be | repealed, and Massachusetts deciding whether to do away with her State en- | forcement act. Bond issues for public works totaling upward of a half-billion dollars, advocated as a boon to employ- ment, are on the ballots in 20 States. Eleventh-Hour Appeals. In many communities the voters turned out today with eleventh-hour ppeals by party spokesmen still fresh in overnight memories. Nationally, both parties sald their last word last evening over the radio. Speaking for the Republicans, James Frances Burke repeated again the watchword of the Rerubnnn campaign, “Stand by the President”; for the Dem- ocrats, Jouett Shouse and Senator Robinson of Arkansas asked that the congressional election express a Nation's disapproval of the Hoover policles. Fair weather over most of the coun 72,2958, leed i ry in years, was expected to fall below the mammoth re of 1928. Only for the South Atlantic States, where there are few election contests, did the weather map show signs of rain. Most of the States close their polls at nighifall, and comprehensive returns from the East and Middle West seemed likely by early evening. The Far West will be well behind. In Washington and Oregon the closing time was 8 p.m. Pacific time, or 11 p.m. on the Atlantic Seabomid. Kentucky, under a new law, will not begin to count the ballots until tomorrow morning, & circumstance which held possibilities of leaving an important gap in election-night tabula- ticns. - For this year, the Blue-Grass State was one of the most bitterly con- tested among them all. Democrats Need 53. To gain control of the House—the ever, the fleld is much narrower. A total of 94 nominees, most of them Southern Democrats, have no candi- dates against them.

BALTIMORE, Md., November 4 —De- serting the platform for the microphone, Gov, Albert C. Ritchie and his Repub- lican opponent, Mayor Willlam F. Broéning of Baliimore, concluded their campaigns last night with radio ad- dresses through local stations. ‘The Governor branded the issues raised by the Republicans as shams to camouflage their “conspicuous silence” on the prohibition question, cited the progress of the State under his admin- | istration and appealed for the support of the entire Democratic ticket, “to keep the Republicans from getting the government of Maryland in the same mess as they have gotten the Federal Government.” Howard W. Jackson, former mayor of Baltimore, who introduced the Governor to ihe radio audience, expressed confi- dence in Mr. Ritchie's ability to win another term, but asked that he be given the largest majority ever received by a Democrat in Maryland. Reiterating his campaign war cry concerning the dangers of long con- tinuance in executive office, Mayor Broening, in his etherial appeal for sup» port of the voters, declared that, if elected, he would maintain “the tradi- tion of Maryland,” and not be a can- didate to succeed himself. He further fromised to exert every effort to make t illegal and impossible for a governor to have a second successive term. ‘The mayor also cited his record in the management of city affairs as evi- dence of ability to occupy the state house, and charged the administration of Mr. Ritchie with practicing “in- timidation and terrorism against offi- cials showing the slightest independence or revulsion against existing rule.” chusetts, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and West Virginia. The extent to which prohibition will determine the net result, and what light it will throw on 1932, is hotly disputed by the lead- ers of wets and drys. « In many States one or both parties adopted planks referring to prohibition, but indirectly, or not at all. In New York, New Jersey, Washington, Wis- consin and Connecticut both party plat- forms dissented from prohibition, while in nine other States—Illinois, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hamp- shire, orth Dakota, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Vermont—the Demo- crats declared for a change. The Re- publicans of Dlinois and the Democrats of Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota pro- posed a referendum. All Eyes on Bulkley Race. In several of the larger States, in- cluding some where party platforms do not raise the issue, the dispute over the dry laws became involved in con- tests over Governor or Senator. Robert J.

Curtis Is in Topeka. ‘That indefatigable campaigner, Vice President Curtis, finished his round of oratory in his home town of Topeka, Kans, and after voting planned to dash back to Washington for the avalanche of returns. The Pos‘master General, Walter F. Brown, who has been in the midst of Ohio politic. in his home town of To- ledo, aiso planned an election-day re- turn to Washington to watch results. Arthur M. Hyde, the Secretary of Ag- riculture, who recently returned from his Missouri home, said today he would be most concerned about results in his State. But the Secretary of Interior, Ray Lyman Wilbur of California, said he was most interested in Ohio, Okla- homa and Delaware. Home States Watched. Three cabinet members, watching their home States, will take a special interest in the fate of a woman at the polls. Robert P. Lamont of Chicago, the | Secretary of Commerce, made his final pre-election statement, urging support of Ruth Hanna McCormick as Senator. Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson, apeulng for New York Republican can- lidates, singled out for praise Ruth Baker Pratt, Republican nominee for the House from his home district. The Secretary of the Navy, Charles Francis Adams, looked toward the results in his home State, Massachusetts, where the Republican Representative, Edith Nourse Rogers, is for re-election. Attorney General William D. Mitchell, whose duties have kept him at his own desk every day since the Summer vaca- tion and who made no campaign speeches, was the one member of the cabinet whose interest in the returns was purely a general one.

NEW YORK, November 4 —Charges of irregularities and of an assault upon | One voter reached the attorney general's office soon after an unusually heavy early voting began here today. The first arrest of the day was made by Mrs. R. Pally Panken, a deputy at-| torney general, and wife of Jacob Panken, Socialist candidate for Con- ss in the fourteenth district. Mrs. g’nkcn caused an alleged illegal regis- trant to be arrested at a polling place. Shortly afterward Panken reported to the attorney general’s office that his nephew, Morris L. Panken, had been beaten up in a voting booth. The nephew is a deputy attorney general. ‘There were a score of ar~ests through- out the greater city in the first hour of voting. In some districts a third of the reg- istered voters had cast their ballots be- fore 9 a.m., which was all but unprece- dented. The major candidates, Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democrat, seeking re-elec- tion, and Charles H. Tuttle, his Repub- lican opponent, closed their campaigns last night with broadcast addresses. {NEBRASKA ANSWERS NORRIS AT POLLS, Insurgent Senator Is Opposed by Hitchcock and Mrs. Craig. By the Associated Press. LINCOLN, Nebr., November 4.—Ne- braska’s answer to the statement of its veteran Senator, George W. Norris, that he “would gather be right than regular” was being written in its elec- tion booths today. Opposing Norris, who faced some at- tacks from within his party because of his stand two years ago for Alfred E. Smith, Democratic presidential nomi- nee, were Gilbert M. Hitchcock, Demo- cratic candidate and former colleague of Norris in the Upper House, and Mrs. Beatrice Fenton Craig of Lincoln, in- dependent Republican. Norris won the Republican nomina- tion in the primary, which was fea- tured by the abortive effort of another George W. Norris, Broken Bow grocer, to enter the lists, and has carried his campaign to almost every section of the State. Party loyalty has been a principal contention of Hitchcock, Omaha pub- lisher, during the campaign. He has also asked for election on his record in the Senate during the Wilson adminis- tration. Mrs. Craig obtained a place on the ballot by petition, and has pledged sup- port to President Hoover and his poli- cles, if elected. . Both T. 8. Allen, chairman of the Democratic State Committee, and John Wiltse, chairman of the Republican State Committee, have expressed con- fidence of victory for their respective tickets in the balloting.

CHICAGO, November 4.—An Asso- ciated Press dispatch from Chicago, un- der date of October 31, quoting James B. Wootan, editor of the Public Service Magazine, concerning a request for an investigation into the disappearance of a letter written by him to Thorne Browne of Lincoln, Nebr., and which fell into the hends of Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, contained an error which the Associated Press is glad to correct. Mr. Wootan was quoted in the dis- patch as saying: “The point of the whole thing is that a letter written by me to a friend never reached him. It develops that the let- ter was intercapted. It will be important to know why and by whom it was done and at whose behest.” t Mr. Wootan said was: “The point of the whole thing is that & letter written by me to my friend never reached him.

NEW KENTUCKY ELECTION LAW Special County Boards Tabulate Ballots the Day After Voting, Instead of Having Returns Compiled by Precincts. By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky., November 4.—If & close race for control of the National House of Representatives develops in today’s election, the party to hold the balance of power may not be known un- til after the delayed count is completed in Kentucky. Kentucky's new election law provides that county election boards begin tabu- lating the vote the day after the elec- tion instead of individual precinct tab- ulations after the polls close. Under the new system, the result is not known until the board has reviewed the entire vote of the county. In the case of larger communities, several days will pmb]ltbly be required to determine the result. System Tried in Primary. ‘The new law was tried for the first timé in the August primary. Judging | from that experience, the result of Ken- tucky’s congressional races probably will not be known until 48 hours after the polls close. Senatorial candidates were unopposed in the gl’lmnry. so there is no way of judging how long it will take to determine that race. Should control of the House of Rep- resentatives depend upon the line-up of Kentucky's delegation of 11 Represent- atives, after the returns in other States are tabulated, it will probably not be known which party will hold the bal- ance of power until Thursday. An even longer time would be re- quired to determine the political com- E‘:xm of the Senate should the less ely eventuality arise that the holder of Kentucky's seat would give either party the majority. There was no con- gressional primary in the fifth district, which includes the city of Louisville, ‘lnd it is expected that several days will be required to tabulate Louisville’s vote | under the new law. Kentuckians Must Wait. Senator John M. Robsicn is the Re- publican nominee to succeed himself. He s opposed by Judge M. M. Logan for the long term and by Ben Williamson for the short term. Senator Robsion was given an interim appointment after Frederic M. Sackett was made Ambas- | sador to Germany. ‘While the voters of other States learn tomorrow their next Representatives {and Senators, Kentuckians must sit |back and wait until the long process of counting has progressed far enough to indicate the result. In the case of the congressional elections, it will probably mean two days of waiting, while the re- sult of the senatorial race may not be known for a week. The Nation also will await Ken- tucky’s tabulation should control of Congress depend upon the result in this ‘“border” State. CANADA WATCHES U.5. LIQUOR MOVES Loss of Tourist Revenue Is Seen Should Dry Law Be Modified. Special Dispatch to The Star. OTTAWA, Ontario, November 4.— Canada is watching closely the outcome of the congressional elections in the United States, particularly the fate of the wet candidates on all tickets. There is no doubt that American prohibition has done much to boom the tourist industry in this country, where the sale of spirits, beer and wine is general in all nine provinces, except the tiny Prince Edward Island. Millons of dollars in revenue drawn from Ame) tourists by the provinces for liquor and By hotels, restaurants and retail stores generally would be lost should the next American de- cide to repeal the eighteenth amend- ment. Of course, not all such visitors come to drink liquor, but a goodly per- centage do. In the first six months of 1930 1,814,- 182 automobiles crossed into Canada. Of these, 1,471,693 entered for a period not exceeding 24 hours, 342,025 for a period not over 60 days and 464 for a period not over three months. It is estimated that at least $20,000,000 was left by these tourists. As against these, Canadian cars entering the United States in the same period numbered 207,206. Last year 4,508,809 American cars entered Canada and it is estimated that the. occupants of these machines | Pact left $45,000,000 to $50,000,000 in Canada. Reports issued by the liquor control boards of the provinces indicate that American tourists consume a good per- centage of the liquor, beer and wine sold. Incidentally, there is a decrease in the sale of spirits, while consump- tion of beer and light wines is on the increase. Officially, Canada is more or less con- cerned in the elections, f ng th: Judge Postpones Sentence to Let Defendants Vote By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press: CHICAGO, November 4.—A choice, unique in American elections because it involved for the first time the ques- ion whether a man or a woman should fo to the United States Senate, was be- ore Illinois voters today. The decision was left to them after a hectic campaign in which the candi- dates—Representative Ruth Hanna Mc- lCormlck. Republican, James Hamilton Lewis, Democrat, and Mrs. Lottie Hol- man O'Neill—had stum from one end of the State to the other, discussing a variety of questions—prohibition, the World Court, unemployment, campaign expenditures and other topics. All three of them, their speech-mak- ing over, awaited the deluge of ballots with a professed fecling of optimism, and there were indications that the widespread interest and favorable weather would bring out a heavy vote. The time for voting was 6 in the cities and 7 a. country districts. Differ on Major Issues. ‘There were wide differences of opinion among the candidates as to what constituted the major issues of the campaign. Mrs. McCormick, who agreed to abide by the decision of the voters on a prohibition referendum, viewed ‘“businecs ailments and the avoidance of foreign alliances” as the paramount issues. - Lewis contended liquor was the leading question. Mrs. O'Nelll, backed by the Anti-Saloon League, saw prohibition and unemploy- ment as the leading issues. The candidates finished their speech- making last night. Mrs. McCormick, who, among other things, has stressed her opposition to the World Court, eall- ing it the “back door of the League of Nations,” told a radio audience that today’s election will determine “‘whether we are to have for the next few years in Washington a divided authority be- tween our Chief Executive and the Congress.” Lewis also spoke. on the radio, asking for repeal of the eight~ eenth amendment and the substitution, in its place, of State enforcement of the liquor laws. Attacks Primary Expenditures. In her final plea Mrs. O'Neill also mentioned “excessive campaign funds” 2s an important question. Throughout the campaign she had attacked Mrs. McCormick's expenditures in the April primary. In addition to the senatorial contest the vcters had before them the selec- tion of the State's 25 Representatives and the prohibition referendum, involv- ing three questions—repeal of the eighteenth amendment and the Illinois prohibition act and modification of the Volstead law to permit bev “which are not in fact intoxica as determined in accordance with the laws of the respective States,” as well as an amendment of the State constitution to permit women to serve on juries, 'BROUN IS FIRST VOTER NEW_YORK, November 4 can (), - Broun, e o IS e sl Alfalfa Bill's Father Is 81.
