4 P COX STILLAASHOPE ASTRACANDIDATE Effort to Bring League Issue Into Ohio Primary Resented by Some Democrats. Bpecial Dispateh to The Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 20.— The democratic state primary campaign, though hardly under way yet, has given inklings of the development of an int rt; ron!| versy over the! Sl LA | Harding that b issues of 1924, Whatever notion democrats in other parts of the coun- try may have, Ohio democrats have | never doubted that ex-Gov. James M. Cox would be a vigorous contender for the nomination of his party for the presidency two years hence. And in spite of the fact that the reaction of democratio editors of the country to his Washington's Birthday speech in Dayton, in which he indicated that thé league of nations question would again be the dominant issue of that national campaign, was decidedly not one of approval, he has not changed his view. Mr. Cox is planning to take a Prominent part in the congressional elections this fall, not only in this state, but many others, and, of BACKS ALL CANDIDATES | NAMED BY REPUBLICANS President Harding Desires Success of Every Man Selected to Carry Party Banner. President. Harding was dectared at the White House to be greatly in terested in the success of every car didate selected by republican voters to carry the party standard at the polls in the November election. The declaration was, made in the course of a discussion of the results of the recent primaries in Indiana and Pennsylvania. The Presidant, it was added, has no quarrel with any of those who have been nominated by the republicans in the two states, but, on the contrary, has ‘the bes wishes for their success. Further, it was_pointed out on behall of _Mr. Aibert J. Beveridge, who defeated Senator New in Indiuna for the republican senatorial nomi- nation, and fford Pinchot, who won the gubernatorial nomination in Penn< sylvania, both former progressive leaders. had during their campaigns pledged allegiance to the national ad- ministration.

The prospect of this is decidedly displea ing to many; In fact. most of t democratic leaders in Ohio, who feel, veland Plaindealer expres- the time of the Day that they have appealed to it at speech, the country in one solemn referen- dum on that matter and the answer Was unequivocal and unmistakable. They did not care for another. May Ask Him to Retire. One of the candidates for the dem- ocratic nomination for governor has indicated that in case he is at the head of the state ticket and Gov. Cox @ttempts to inject the league of na- tions matter into the campalgn as an issue he will be under the necessity of asking him to desist or retire from the stump, as it would serious- 1y _embarrass him. _Though State Industrial Commis- sioner Thomas J. Duffy has not filed his declaration as a candidate for the democratic nomination for Bovernor, he has announced that he will, and National Chairman George White has declared that he will not enter the race, so that it is practically settled now that the contest for the demo- eratic leadership will lie between Mr. Duffy and former State Auditor V. J. Donahey. The general opinion among impartial political judges is that this will mean the nomination of Mr. Don- ahey. On the republican side both state and national organization influ- ences seem to be lining up behind Col. Carmi A. Thompson for the nomina- tion for governor, while the other ele- ment of the party seems to be likely 1o be divided between the three other candidates—Speaker R. R. Beetham, Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith and Senator Arthur Day—which would seem to indicate Col. Thomp- 0.8 nomination. Brown May Enter. The nomination of Beveridge for senator in Indiana and of Pinchot for governor in Pennsylvania—both lead- ing progressives in 1912—it thought, may yet induce Walter F. Brown, who was at the head of the| progressive movement in Ohio that Year, to enter as a candidate for nom- | senator | Unless Mr. Brown | ination for United States against Dr. Fess. enters the race Representative S. D. Fess will certainly be given the nom- ination without contest. The democrats are claiming that they will elect nine members of Con- gress at least in the November elec- + tions. Among these is the Toledo dis- , trict, where the veteran, Gen. I. R. Sherwood, has just fited his declara- tion of candidacy to be nominated against Representative W. W. Chal- mers, and another is the fourteenth district, in which former Representa- tive Al W. Overturf is out to be nominated to secceed Representative J. M. Begg of Sandusky. The other districts claimed are the third, fourth, fifth, eleventh, twelfth, fourteenth and seventeenth. The least likely of these districts to go democratic is probably the twelfth, now represented by Gen. John C. Speaks. As to the other: it must be admitted that the dem cratic claims are not extravagant. SPECIAL NOTICES. | | Lively Race for G. 0. P. Nom- ination Seen if Representa- tive Really Does Withdraw. Special Dispateh to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., May 20.—There is revived the report that Representa- tive Slemp, the boss of the Virginia republicans, is this year to adhere 0 his reporfed determination to re- tire from Congress and refuse to again lead his party. The only thing lacking to be added to the report is a statement from Representative Slemp. Mr. Slemp is known to have large and varied interests, has Iimmense holdings of coal lands and is wealthy. There are numbers of republicans in the district who are anxious to have a positive statement from Mr. Slemp, and if he Tetires there will be one wild scramble for the nominatiou. With the date sixt the primary election to name a States senator and ndidates Congress, to be elected in the Nove ber election, there are no signs that the campaign is on. The candidates ace doing the still hunt, having little conferences, organizing the women nd sending out great quantities of lit- erature, personal letters and the like. But they are not having any meetings and making speech Possibly the slowness and dullness of the campaign can be found in the fact that in only three districts are there contests—only two in which there are two seeking to win the nomination in the primary. These are the second and the sixth. All the members of Congress at this time are seeking to succeed themselves—that is, of course, with reference to the democrats. Representative Joseph T. Deal of Norfolk is being opposed by Josiah D. Hank of Norfolk for the nomination, with the chances that a hot campaign will open about June 15. In the sixth district Represent- ative James P. Wood is being opposed by Judge C. A. Woodrum, who is be- ing sponsored by the labor people and other elements of the democratic party. Safeguarding Candidacy. An incident that is attracting at- tention is the payment of the primary fee by Representative J. Murray Hooker of the fifth. That district has never had influence sufficient to make it resort to the primary system for making its own nominees. The district committee has not yet reached a conclusion as to when a nomination will be made or the method, and Mr. Hooker is merely safeguarding his own candidacy and preventing any possibility of a con- test on any ground. Reports from the ninth "district— that over which Representative Slemp has held sway for years—are that George C. Peery of Tazewell is cer- u to be elected by the democrats. He was nominated several weeks age SPECIAL NOTICES. I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY debts contracted by any other than myself. U. G.

FRANCE TANGLES SENATORIAL RACE Announéement of Candidacy for Re-Election Complexes Situation in Maryland. Special Dispateh to The Star. BALTIMORE, May 20.—Formal an- nounceent by. Senator Joseph 1. France that he will be a candidate for re-election is regarded In politi- al cireles here as leading to a speed- ing up in the Senate race of both par- tes. With the senior Marsland senator, whom leaders on neither side are dis- posed to. depreciate as a contender, definitely’ in the ficld, a republican opponcat already out against him, and two avowed candidates for the democratlc nomination, it is believed that further announcements, if there are to be any, will not be long de- layed. As a corollary to this is the prespect of an alignment of the powers in the two camps, about which both republicans and democrats are pretty much jn the dark. Cany y Anticipated. Senator France's entry had been an- ticipated generally and occasioned not urprige. Interest is now centered on w t his opposition is to be. Man republicans do not regard Edward ¢ TTingtof one-time bull mo der, as a real factor in the contes There is considerable differcnce @f opinion among them as to hether Representative John Philip Hill will 80 after higher honors. Those who do not believe that he will, say, in the first place, that Hiil would be abandoning a conceded re- nomination in the third district for a doubtful senatorial nomination, and, in the second place, he would nn!. try unless assured the’ support of Sena tor Weller and William P. Jackson. This report, according to their ver- sion, he is not likely to get. Out of the democratic senatorial perplexity at least two schools of thought, it they be so termed, are developing. They are conflicting in character, but each has its adherents. One is that Gov. Ritchie is the logical candidate for the United States Senate and that the governor has done the party a service by announcing that he would not be a candidate for the senatorial nomination, but that he preferred renewed gubernatorial honor! The other is that the present tal of this and that and the other can- didate, igcluding the two aspidants who ounced themselves, former Representative David J. Lewis and State Senator Norris, is but froth and that solid political substance is in- corporated in former Senator John Walter Smith, Pressing Gov. Ritchle. Meanwhile pressure s brought to bear on the governor to have him change his mind about the senatorship. Senator Smith continues, as was to be expected, to say nothing about the likelihood of his candidacy, but it is rumored that in the next few days the question will be -put point-blank to him in such way that an answer cannot reasonably be with- held. Rumor of. a possible compromise behind whom both the state and city democracy would line up, in the person of Hugh A.

Threatens Poindexter Defeat. George H. Stevenson, for many years one of the wheel horses of the republican organization in the state, a former railroad lobbyist, and a man considered to still be a power among the old wing republicans, has notified Senator Poindexter that he will seek to bring about his defeat at the com- {ing primary elections. Stevenson now is actively engaged In seeking ORGANZATIONTASK FACED BY PCHT New Situation Created by Republican Primaries in . Pennsylvania. Special Dispatch to The Star. HARRISBURG, Pa., May. 20.—Gifford Pinchot, nominated for governor at the Pennsylvania republican primaries on Tuesday -in ‘a straight-out fight against the most.powerful factors of the organization dominated for years by the late Senator Boles Penrose, may haye to bulld up his own party organization. While the forester smashed his way to victory through the lines of a great coalition, it re- mains to be seen just how far he will be able to impose his will upon the republican state committee, the offi- cial organization of the party. The group in control of the party ma- chinery for so long will endeavor to take ovér Pinchot. Mr. Pinchot may have to fight to take over them. Already there are signs of ralsing questions of who shall officer the committee. The defeat of Attorney General George E. Alter by Mr. Pinchot was due to the fact that the group headed by Gov. William C. Sproul, Se tor Edwin H. Vare and others who engineered the candidacy of Mr. Alter failed to recognize three things: The extent of the dissatisfaction with the state administration, the strength o the leaders antagonized by the gov- ernor and his friends and the appeal made by Pinchot to the woman voters a romuntic figure in politics, in which they were new participants. Mr. Alter is an exceptionally well qualified man and, entering a fight under any other auspices than he did, would have commanded support which gravitated or flocked to Pin- chot, according to conditions. The fight for control of the party organ- ization has been brewing for half a dozen years. Precipitated by Death. The death of Penrose precipitated it, but the men who sohght to domi- nate a million voters did not display the essential leadership and clung to friendships: sought extinction of men who had béen potential factors in the days of Penrose's Supremacy and made light of riging public sentiment and the enthusiusm of the newly en- franchised women, as Gov. Sproul term- ed” it in a post-prinfary statement. Crude campalgn methods also helped him win. While the forester had a personal organization, he was immensely helped by the weil directed forces of the manufacturing groups and by or- ganizations led by men who were and whose al- legiance could always be depended upon by him. Mistakes of two legls- lative Sessions bore fruit. and results of an audit of the state treasury, the first to be made in years, showing deviations from the spirit if not the letter of the law, fanned the re- sentment against those in power. People with the attorney general erred in their appraisement of audit reports, and while some sought to make light of them. others de nounced their publication as a politi- cal trick. Pinchot promptly promised to clean house, and the fact that the | disclosures are to continue as the audit develops seems to have been welcomed by him as a chance to do something.

Analysis of the returns shows th Philadelphia and Pittsburgh organ zations failed to deliver, but that the democratic congressional nomina- ; out a candidate from the republican | county leaders opposing the governor tion in the fifth district, to oppose Rep- resentative Sydney E.

Representative Mudd has, of course, a traditional and even a hereditary hold upon the congressional seat from the fifth district, but Mr. Mudd’s posi- tion is said to be not absolutely im- pregnable. Another report from the fifth dis- trict was that Chief Judge John P. Briscoe of the seventh judicial district, a resident of Calvert county, would forsake the bench and seek the demo- cratic nomination, and that State Senator Walter J. Mitchell of Charles county will be a candidate for elec- tion to the bench. In the second congressional district Miss Mary E. W. Risteau, “the lady from Harford” in the last house of delegates, has voluntarily waived her tion in favor of State Senator Millard E. Tydings. KENTUCKY POLIICS NOT YET CLARIFIED Bepresent-lfive Barkley Possible Candidate for Governor on Demo- cratic Ticket. LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 20.—Much of the political talk of the day cen- ters about the intentions of Repre- sentative Alben W. Barkley of Pa- ducah, Congress member for the first Kentucky district. One of the sub- Jects most freely discussed is what is regarded as propaganda intended to influence his nomination for gov- ernor. Opinion is divided as to Whether this movement is aided by those who meally.desire Mr. Barkley as governor or is pushed along by those having for their objective get- ting the first district man out of the way of Senator A. O. Stanley in 1924. All along it has been the general belief that Mr, Barkley had his gaze fixed on the toga now wora by Sena- tor R. P. Ernst, republican, but it is reported that he is entertaining, the notion of trying for the senatorship when Senator Stanley comes up for re-election two years hence. Mr. Barkley is said to have been ap- proached by members of his party, urging that this would have the effect of dividing the party, especially since the congressman has been known as a “dry” democrat, while the senator as been credited generally with ‘wet” leanings. Another interesting piece of politi- cal gossip Is that Representative J, Campbell Cantrill of the seventh dis- trict in all probability will become a candidate for governor. It also has developed that while Mr. Cantrill is in no danger of oppo- sition for his congressional seat, Mr. Barkley is not so fortunate. Several first dletrict democrats have congres- sional aspirations, and they want Barkley “kicked upstairs,” either to the United States senatorship or to the governorship, and thus open the ‘'WOLPE JEWELRY STORI 1402 N.

In the third district Albert John- son is finding opposition from O. M. Nelson, who is basing his campalgn upon a purely wet and dry issue. In the first district Phillip Tindall of ‘Seattle, a former war veteran, is being groomed to make a fight against Representative John F. Miller. Representative Stanley Webster, in the fifth district, will probably be without opposition within his own party. The democrats are bringing out Francis Garrecht, former United States district attorney for eastern Washington, and expect to give ‘Webster a hard race. —_— BANK ISSUE UP TO VOTERS South Dakota Proposes I_nstltution on North Dakota Plan. Special Dispatch to The Star. SIOUX FALLS,-S. Dak,, May 21— One of the important propositions to come before the voters of South Da- kota at the general election in No- vember will be the adoption or re- jection of a plan for establishing a bank of South Dakota, patterned along the lines of the Bank of North Dakota, which was _established through the influence of the North Dakota branch of the National Non- partisan League. The South Dakota branch of the Non-partisan League is pushing the project for establishing {a similar bank in South Dakota. The vote on the measure in South Dakota will come upon a bill initi- ated under the provisions of the ini- the state constitution. One of the chief arguments of the flood of Non« partisan League speakers”who will invade the state during the fall cam- paign will be in favor of establishing the bank. 3 It i3 espected that-at the annual conventiou of the South Dakota Bankers' Association, to be held in June, final plans will be made for a systematic_and aggressive fight on the part of the bankers of the state against the Non-partisan / League banking project. They will urge the voters of South Dakota, in view of the fallure of the Bank of North Da- + kots, to defeat the plan for estab- lishing a similar bank in South Dakots. - o FOR SALE—LOTS.
