Considering the Democratic head
start in the South, New York and
Pennsylvania always have been re
garded as absolutely Indispensable
to the election of a Republican
President. That is true this year.
Some pajty statisticians figure
that the Republican ticket might
conceivably win With only one of
these States in an exceetNf.gly close
election; but agreement is general
that if both of them are closed the
election is lost: And both are stub
bornly contesting ground now.
It is no accident that, of all the
States in the Union. Governor Lan
don chose Pennsylvania and New
York for the opening sheeches of
his campaign and plans to return to
them Just before election day. They
are. in a vCry real sense, the Alpha
and Omega of Republican fortunes.

Liquor Interests Detry
Ads Using “Sex Appeal”
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.9—It used
to be principally the drys who
complained against use of "sex
appeal" in liquor advertising, but
now the cry against it has been
taken up by certain liquor interests
hoping to keep the industry with
in the bonds of propriety.
The proposition is interesting as
evidence that the liquor interests
may be wary of the drys' power
and are trying to give them no
handle upon which to fasten a
comeback campaign.
