- NEWDEAL FAVORED IN WEST' VIRGINIA Neutral Observers Look for Roosevelt Victory by About 35,000. BY JOHN H. CLINE, Staft Correspondent of The Star. CHARLESTON, W. Va, October 24—Two bitter political battles are under way in West Virginia—one be- tween the Democrats and Republicans and the other a strictly private scrap between the youthful Senator Rush Dew Holt and his elderly colleague, Senator Matthew M. Neely. Both rooted in personal differences, the Neely-Holt affray is pretty much in the nature of a sideshow to the major struggle between Gov. Alf M. Landon and President Roosevelt. Most political observers agree that Benator Holt's broadsides will have little if any effect on the outcome of the presidential race. His nightly at- tacks on Senator Neely, who is run- ning for re-election, receive scant no- tice in the press, while the pros and cons of the national election are de- bated vigorously on virtually every street corner. Gov. Landon, who is coming here next week to make a campaign speech, is fighting under a heavy handicap for this State's eight electoral votes. In the first place, business, large and small, is definitely much better than it has been for years. Secondly, THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt denied himself to all save one caller yesterday and buckled down to the job of writing | the final speeches of his re-election campaign, In the Lincoln study of the Execu- tive Mansion he started soon after breakfast dictating rough drafts of the major addresses he will deliver in Pennsylvania and New York next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. He also worked on what aides de- scribed as “non-political” talks to be made tomorrow in dedicating the chemistry department at Howard Uni- versity, and in New York Harbor Wednesday afternoon at ceremonies celebrating the 50th birthday anni- versary of the Statue of Liberty. In all, nine speeches will be crowded into the last seven week days before the balloting. Foregoes Cruise, Despite a fine day, Mr. Roosevelt decided to remain at work in the seclusion of the White House instead of taking yesterday afterndon off. He | gave up plans for a week-end boat ride | on the Potomac. The President interrupted his dic- tating around noon to receive S.

Wilson, who headed the Pennsyl- vania Independent Committee for Roosevelt in 1932, issued a formal statement gratitude for the President’s unem- ployment policies. He added, however, that as Mayor of Philadelphia he was “‘out of active politics.” Mr. Roosevelt will attend church services today. Tuesday night he will leave for Bayonne, N. J., to board a Federal vessel for Bedloes Island in New York Harbor, where the Statue of Liberty ceremonies will be held Wednesday afternoon. On the way back to Washington, he will make political speeches Thursday at Wilkes-Barre and Harrisburg, Pa., Camden, N. J.,, and Wilmington, Del. To Discuss Agriculture. Members of the White House staff said he would discuss agriculture at Harrisburg in his second speech of the campaign in that State. The other speeches that day will be more or less informal, they added. The final political speeches of the week will be in the Brooklyn Academy of Music Friday night and Madison Square Garden, New York, Saturday night. Returning to his Dutchess County home on the Hudson, Mr. Roosevelt will attend church services next Sun- day and the following day, election eve, will make his concluding re-elec- tion appeal over the radio, either from Hyde Park or nearby Pough- in which he expn.ued] keepsie, After voting Tuesday at Hyde Park he will return to his home and await news of the counting.

MEIGHAN HOME SOLD DADE CITY, Fla., October 24 (#).—= Sale of the palatial home of the late Thomas Meighan, star of the silent screen, in New Port Richey to Irving R. Allen of Chicago was revealed today by the record of a deed in the county clerk's office. The Spanish-type home was built at a cost of approximately $150,000, with a $60,000 swimming pool. It was completed during the latter days of the Florida boom, when Meighun, Gene Sarazen and other prominent persons formed a colony in picturesque New Port Richey.

Dlstrict 1900 Stores oLLIMBIA the 67,000 colored votes are going to be cast for President Roosevelt. Factors Favoring Landon. Factors favoring the Republican presidential nominee include: 1. The support of most, but not all, ©of the so-called big business men. 2. Plenty of money. 3. An active and alert Republican State organization that is capitalizing some dissatisfaction among W. P. A. workers, preaching the gospel of ruinous Federal expenditures and nourishing a spreading suspicion among non-organized labor that the social security program is going to hurt as well as help them. The business improvement, amount- 1ng almost to a boom here in Charles- ton, is the biggest obstacle in the Re- publican path. Conversations with a number of emall business men lend little comfort 1o the Republican cause. They are not | going to vote for the overthrow of an administration whose term of office has seen the return of the old cash customers. It makes little difference to them whether the customers are because of or in spite of the Roosevelt administra- tion. The important thing is that they are out of the red for the first time in several years. Business Man's Comment. As the owner of the city’s leading furniture store put it: “I'm going to | vote for Roosevelt and the State Democratic ticket. It may be that their policies haven't helped, but you can't laugh off the fact that my busi- ness is better than it's been for 10 years.” West Virginia's miners, virtually all of whom are organized, cast about 106,000 votes and approximately 85 per cent of them will be for Roosevelt. Event the Republicans don't claim more than 25 per cent of organized labor’s vote, The miners probably would be al- most unanimous for Roosevelt were it not for some dissatisfaction with the activities of labor bosses. For one thing, they don't like having their leaders selected from out of the State and they apparently resented the an- nounced determination of John L. Lewis to “pick out an honest Gov- ernor” for them. At any rate, they failed to support the Lewis-indorsed primary candidate, L. R. Via, who was beaten badly by the Democratic at- torney general, Homer G. Holt, in the gubernatorial primary race. Loss of Colored Vote. ‘There is good reason to believe the Republicans in this election are go- ing to lose about 40 per cent of the colored vote, which has been solidly Republican and the real balance of power in the past. The Republicans don’t know just how they lost the support of the col- ored voters and the Democrats don't know why they have come to them. But the fact remains that private surveys indicate a very subsiantial defection. The lure of relief work has won some of them over and others have gone Democratic as a result of the activity of labor union organizers. But the majority, apparently, have swung over to the Democratic fold for no tangible reason. The explanation may be found in the observation of a Republican leader, who said: “I think the colored voter likes to be on the winning side.” Another factor operating against the Republicans is that the Democrats, who have had control of the State since 1932, have turned out a very ef- ficient brand of government, Business men generally are ap- plauding the sales tax and graduated income tax which replaced heavy real estate taxes. In 1933, they say the State was being forced to take over more property for delinquent taxes than it knew what to do with. Now tax collections are good. Control 41 Counties. Finally, the Democrats control 41 of the State's 55 counties, including the right to name the election of- ficials, and the Republicans are far from blind to the importance of this weapon. If improperly used, they say, the power to name election of- ficials means that many a good Re- publican vote may be thrown out in a close race. In fact, if you can believe the Democrats, it has been done here in the past. As has been said, most of the big business men are for Gov. Landon, many of them being almost fanatical in their opposition to the President. They don't deny that they are bet- ter off than they were in 1933, but ADVERTISEMENT, NEURITIS PAINS Try This 35c Test Sufferers of Neuritis, Rheu Lumbago and Neuralsia Sal-Ro-Cin. This Calil contains ingredients whi they are afraid of the future. Further- more, they don't like the Wagner act and they don't like the social se- curity act, They regard such legis- lation as unwarranted interference with their business and are contribut- ing generously to the Republican cam- paign fund, regarding this as the most effective means of striking back at the New Deal. With this money, the Republicans are building up & | highly efficient organization. Leaders say they have 40,000 party workers pledged to get out 10 voters each on election day, a total of 400,000 Repub- licans’ votes if they can deliver. This claim seems a bit exagger- |ated in view of the fact that only about 736,000 votes were cast in 1932. This year'’s primary registration, how- ever, showed slightly more than 1, 000,000 voters in both parties. It may be that 1936 will see West Vir- ginia's heaviest vote. Democrats’ Claims. Democratic party workers - claim their State and national ticket will win by from 50,000 to 75,000 votes, the latter being the margin of Presi- | dent Roosevelt's victory four years | ago. The Republicans are less optimistic, claiming the State by only 10,000 or 15,000 votes. Experienced neutral ob- | servers look for a reduced Roosevelt victory, probably by about a 35,000 to 40,000 majority, although there are some who still cling to a “hunch” | | that Gov. Landon is going to win. In | summing up the elaims of both sides | ! the fairest-appraisal seems to be that | West Virginia, followed by a big ques- tion mark, belongs in the Roosevelt column.

ATLANTA, October 24—Dr. Frank K. Cameron, professor of chemistry at the University of North Carolins, will discuss his plan for using whole cot- ton as source of oil and alpha-cellulose here October 30. He will speak before the Georgia section of the American Chemical Society at the Georgia School of Technology. Alpha-cellulose is the principal in- gredient of rayon, cellophane, lacquers and related products. Under Dr. Cameron’s method, cot- ton “picking” would be eliminated. The “whole cotton” would be mowed few inches from the ground. Process- ing and pulping methods would be employed to obtain the oil and alpha- cellulose. © — : There's A World of Difference Between The Old and New You'll realize thet, the minute Yith advances in 1937 Stombers- “Q:lm.
