By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 26—Six E SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, OCTOBER 27, 1935—PART ONE. _— . = Kentucky on his trip West, the Presi- dent invited Gov. Ruby Laffoon, Thomas S. Rhea and Lieut. Gov. A. B. (Happy) Chandler to visit him. It was intended asa “harmony” meeting, for Rhea and Gov. Laffoon have been cool toward Chandler ever since Chan- dler won the Democratic gubernatorial nomination from Rhea. = Gov. Laffoon and Rhea declined the presidential invitation, and only Chan- dler appeared. He is prassumed to be running for the gevernorship with the presidential blessing, and has pledged | full support to the Rocsevelt admin- | istration. He has assailed the present | State administration of Gov. Laffoon | and has attacked the State sales tax | law. | Opposing Chandler, on the Repub- lican ticket, is Circuit Judge King Swope of Lexington, who was nom- inated by a huge majority as a “har- | mony” candidate. The amendments to the State Con- stitution will be voted upon in Ken- tucky. One would repeal the State prohibition amendment. The other would authorize the Legislature to provide old-age pensions. Kentucky will elect eight other State officers in addition to Governor—a Congressman in the fourth district to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Cap Carden; three district railroad commissioners; all 100 members of the State House of Representatives and 21 of the 38 State Senators. Judge Swope in his campaign has kept away from national issues. Lieut. Gov. Chendler, however, has said that if Kentucky elects a Republican Gov= ernor it will be a rebuff to the Roose- velt administration. New Jersey Democrats have pledged “deep devotion” to President Roose- velt, The Republicans have criticized his policies. Eight State Senators and a full quota of 60 Assemblymen will be elected. The Republicans in- variably control both houses. The sales tax was a bitter campaign issue in the primaries, but both parties are entering the November election agreed that the tax should be re- pealed. Only one State officer—a Superior Court judge—is faced with a contest in Pennsylvania. Judge Jesse E. B. Cunningham, Republican, is seeking re-election. He is opposed by Robert L. Myers, a deputy attorney general, who has been designated by Gov. George H. Earle, Democrat, to “carry | the torch of liberalism into the higher court.” Myers is campaigning on 2 New Deal platform, pleading for social and labor legislation, Justice Election Formality. Two Supreme Court justices will be chosen, but their election is a | formality, inasmuch as each party | has but one candidate. The nom- | inees are H. Edgar Barnes, now serv- ing on the bench by appointment of Gov. Earle, and Judge Horace Stern | of Philadelphia, who won Republican | nomination in a seven-sided primary contest. Philadelphia will elect & mayor. ‘The Republican candidate is 8. Davis Wilson, who was elected city con- troller two years ago as a Democrat. He claimed much credit for the election of Gov. Earle, the first Dem- ocrat to win the governorship in Pennsylvania in many years. The Democratic candidate is John B. Kelly. brother of @eorge Kelly, the playwright, and of Walter Kelly, known on the stage as “the Virginia Judge.” The election of a complete Demo- cratic State ticket in Mississippi is a mere formality. Hugh L. White will be elected Governor. Virginia will elect members of both houses of the General Assembly. With a few exceptions, the Democratic pri- maries are equivalent to election. In the last Assembly there were 97 Dem- ocrats and 3 Republicans in the House of Delegates and 38 Democrats and 2 Republicaris in the Senate. One Congress Contest. New York has one congressional contest—in the twenty-second dis- trict, for the seat left vacant by the death of A. J. Griffin. The district, normally Democratic, embraces parts of the Bronx and New York Counties. Edward W. Curley, the Democratic nominee, is opposing Vincent Santini, Republican. New York State voters also will act upon four referenda. One is a bond issue of $55,000,000 for unem- ployment relief. The other three involve proposed amendments to the State constitution to bring about: (1) Reorganization of county gov- ernment, (2) a provision that verdicts in civil courts may be reached by a vote of not less than five-sixths of the jurors, (3) present constitutional provision that stockholders -in banking companies and to repeal the | shall be individually responsible t¢ the amount of their stockholdings for all the bank's liabilities, —————e MINNESOTANS TO MEET | State Society Holds Halloweer Party Saturday. | .
