Democi ats Stand T o Lose In Election In Illinois Republican Party Split on Stiiir Ticket l>ul No Roosevelt and He Will Hardly Get Enough Votes to Repeat the R<-Milt of 1912 ? < By iwvni i.*whkv>;i: ' I?24. By Tk? AMmiI Chicago, Sept. 17. ? Illinois at the moment is not serious ly enough affected by the candidacy of Senator LaFollette to warrant optimism among Democrata-that John W, Davis will profit by the split and capture the electoral vote as did Wilson in 1912 when the Republican party was divided. There is an unquestioned drift or undercurrent or si lent vote or indefinable trend toward LaFollette from, the ranks of the working men and from farmers who want c/ass government. This vote ji ill be considerable but in a ?tntp which HnrHinp cnrriprl / l>y a million majority in 1920, Coolidge could afford to lose 300,000 or more votes and not feel it. In other word* In u strongly Republican state like thin only m Roosevelt with a dominatini; In fluence amone regulars as well at> progressives can prevent the elec toral vote from being cant for a - Republican. And It In admitted ofl all Bides that LaFollette is no Roosevelt. The number of votes LaFollette ? may get If, of course, an interesi s Ing subject for speculation and perhaps will be regarded with gratification by those who hop after election day to lay the foun dations for a progressive party, but In the matter of electoral votes a p?iss of an inch Isn't any better than a mile. William How 1912 polled a big popular vote, probably ?aore than J?aFollett" will set this year, but Mr. Taft received only a handful of elector al votes and that's what counts. So in Illinois while LaFollette sentiment Is by no mean* unim portant It will not change the re sult of the electoral vote which at present writing would appear * i be safe for President Coolldge. ; Sf are certain aspects of the iJLrtpaign which could be disquiet ing If the Republican manager* didn't know their Illinois. For rxample, Governor I<en Small Is seeking r. -election on the Repub lican ticket and he has refrained from endorsing President Cool ldge or speaking at meetings where the regular Republican na tional organization send? speak ers. The regular nominees like former Governor Deneen who is running for United Slates Senntor to succeed Medlll McCormlck . are keeping away from Small and his crowd. It's a sort of polite truce the effect of which will not be lost on the l*Fol(ettc type of voter. Indeed. Governor Small will help Senator LaFollette for many who will vote for the forgier will vote for the Wisconsin leader too. One hears that I^aFollette will draw as many from the Demo crats as from the Republicans. This Is an assumption that Ig nores the fact, however, that the Republican party In Illinois espe cially since the ascendancy of Len Small has developed quite a radi cal wing, while among the Dem ocrats the radical groups are rel atively small. Many laborlnK men who are Democrats ordinarily will turn to LaFollette hut It would -appear that-w?u> larger Inroads will be made Into the Republican party. The Democratic organlia tlon has a ticket of Its own to clect and whatever its feeling may about Davis It must work tooth Qtlid nail for the whole ticket to win for the state ticket. So the energies of the Democratic lead ers throughout the state are di rected towsrd holding the line while the Republican manage ment cannot hope for similar sup port because of the split In the party developed by Governor Small In recent years. The Democrats have nominated an able man for 1'nlted States Senator. Colonel Sprague. who Is popular with the war veterans but neither he nor former Oovernor Deneen will attract the LaFollette nip porters who are still talking of Pitting a Senatorial candidate In t?> the field. Governor Small ran approxi mately 350,000 behind Warren Hardin* In 1920, which gives an idea of his strength as compared with a regular Republican nom Inee when no progresalve is run ning. He may not run that far behind Coolldge this year for I?a Fpllette will unquestionably cut town the Coolldge totals this' All of which Is relatively unimportant beside the fact that IIHnoU' electoral votes may be put down for the man now In the Whit* Honi*.

On campus. In various- fratern ity houses, at art schools, and at other places about town, where the younger generation congre gates. they stated frankly and se riously that thoy believed life Im prisonment to be a far greater punishment for a young man than hanging. Preachers, lawyers, educators business men n;id wouien of high standing by the dozen, have de plored the verdict of life impris onment and 9ft years. They said almost unanimously that the ef fect on the younger generation was bound to be a bad one. It should have been hanging, they thought, to carry the proper les^ son to oth?*r youths, and girls, too. of Dickie's and Ilabe's environ ment who might follow the rich hoys' lead 111 adventurlim for thrills. Those opinions at bast $6 young persona under the age of 20. with college education and an environment of ease and wealth, refuted today, declaring they would rather be hanged several times than ?ont to a life of con finement, where youthful plea* ures and pleasant contacts would be forever lacking. "Those who think'" -nd Leopold got the easier sentence are much mistaken," Ejrneft Luckner. a Student of one of the universities declared.
