Senator’s Chances for Re- nomination in Washington Believed Bettered. Special Dispatch to The Star. TACOMA, Wash., July 8.—Senator Miles Poindexter's campalgn stock took a boom this week when Clark V. Savidge, commissioner of state public lands, formally announced that he would not be a candidate for the republican nemination for United States senator. Savidge was the one man whose candidacy was feared by Poindexter dlpporters, and when his announcement was made Wednesday the Poindexter forces were jubilant. In his announcement Savidge inti- mated he would be a candidate for governor two years hence. Thursday the fourth candidate for the Senate appeared. Former State Senator ~Peter Iverson of Kitsap county ‘announced himself. Iverson is a former bull mooser, making the third of this old party following in the fleld. Other Avowed Candidntes. John E. Ballaine, George H. Steven- son, and Austin E. Griffith, all from the first congressional district, also are avowed candidates. _Steven son is the only one of the fleld who has been wfliliated at all times with the old guard of the republican party. Iverson two vears ago -flirted with the farm-labor ticket and when turned down for nomination for state senator on that ticket went into the republican ranks ,and was defeated. He is a publisher of a weekly news- paper. Unless there is a radical change In present sentiment the incumbent will win re-election, despite the adverse criticism which is to be heard on all sides against the present Congress. Fear to Make Change. The general feeling through the state seems to be that the Washing- ton delegation might be fmproved upon. bul in attempting to make a change there is too much danger under the primary law of nominating a dark horse whose congressional activity would be worse than having nothing done. There has been con- siderable talk among democratic leaders to the effect that the post- masterships at Seattle and .Tacoma are being held up by Senator Poin- dexter and Senator Jones, with the aid of the representative. to force ndidates for appointment into line for the junior senator. Tne walk-out of the shopmen has practically spelled the death of the farmer-labor party in the state. With both the shop workers and the miners striking the prospective farmer- labor funds have dropped from sight. Without funds and strike benefits being called for the leaders of the third party are finding it hard sled- ding to enthuse their former fol lowers into contributing money toward a political campaign with little chance of success. VIRGINIA PRIMARY _ Democratic Nominee _ for | Senate Leads “Bombard- i ment” Fourth of July Week. Bpecis! Dispateh to The Sta: INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 8.—The period in and around the Fourth of July was marked by a considerable lJot of political bombarding in In- diana, the democrats taking the lead. Two speeches by Samuel M. Ralston, democratic nominee for United States senator, and a meeting of the demo- cratic state committee were the high lights in the democratic activities. In one of his speeches dellvered at Oxford, Ind., Mr. Ralston directly took jssue with a sentiment expressed by Albert J. Beveridge In the latter's speech at Toronto recently. That part of Mr. Beveridge's speech that drew forth the Ralston shafts was the assertion that our country can- not take part politically in foreign affairs because if it does “the racial groups snap into formation accord- ing to the blood that flows in their veins” and act and vote “upon foreign considerations.” Mr. Ralston States Position. Mr. Ralston spoke against meddling in foreign affairs, but disagreed with foreign affail but disagreed with Mr. Beverid He said the early settlers wers {f the same nation- ality and did not have the same views of government. but that they stood together against ingland in the revolutionary ar. In another speech Mr. Ralstion said that in this country a party platform is looked upon as a sacred contract. This was in reply 10 a speech made by L G. Rothschild, a cepublican, in which Mr. Rothschild sald that party platforms are chiefly useful in giving the editorial writers something to write about in the dog days. 5 At the meeting of the democratic state committee the epirit appeared to be optimisti particularly in re- gard to legislative campaig Sev- eral democrats said that farmers were going to vote for democratic legislative candidates because the farmers favor repeal of the present tate tax law as called for in the democratic state platform.

Republican Criticises Presiden A speech made by John W. A dle, leading republican and chairm of the Indiana public service com- missio has caused much comment. Mr. McCardle, in addressing the Indi- ana grain dealers, said that if Gov. McCray of Indiana were President the mine strike would be ended in forty-eight hours and the railroad strike would never develop. He add- ed a littl later in his speech that what this country needs is leader- ship and severely criticized President Harding for inviting John [. Lewis of the miners to the White House.

DEMOCRATS O HEYSTONE FIGHT Plan to Get Jump on Pinchot in Pushing Campaign for Governorship. Special Dispatch to The Star. HARRISBURG, Pa., July 8 —Penn- sylvania is going to have its first imidsummer campalgn for the gov- ernorship in more than forty years. The new managers of the democratic state committee have decided to be- gin speeches on July 15 and to keep |going until November. Gifford Pin- chot's plans are to open the republi- can campaign in August. Between the two parties the Keystone state :will have more politics than it has had for a long time. For a couple of decades the politics, with the ex- ception of a year or two, have been more or less factional. Now they are on party lines and there are not going to be very many dull moment: While Mr. Pinchot is taking a vaca- tion off the New England coast pre- paratory to meeting men from all over the state and outlining his leg- islative program at his home near Milford, the democratic managers will send John A. McSparran, his democratic _rival, out to talk to the farmers. Mr. Pinchot will probably take to the rural counties within a month. Both candidates are show- ing a disposition to stay out of the ,hht cities. Pinchot wants to hold his big lead up-state and McSparran wants to shake it. Pinchot counts on the votes of the cities coming to him naturally. McSparran believes MRS.

DUBLIN, July 8.—The force of irregulars mustered south of Dublin has fled before the zdvance of the national troops and the menace of fighting before the capital is further removed. The base of the irregu- lars at Blessington, from which they were dispatching bands throughout the countryside, was captured by | national forces early today, and the {main bedy of the irregulars is on the run in the Wicklow hilis. The * insurgents withdrew from Blessington without resistance; the occupation of the village entailed no They had been billeted in the town in’ con- siderable numbers. On Sunday last four or five hupdred of them took possession with strong outposts ‘but it now ‘evident that a stand there formed no part of their policy. Rebels Avold Cla As the nationals advanced the gar- {rison gradually melted away, leav- |ing destruction and chaos behind. They had established their headquar. ters in the Ulster Bank, the largest structure in the place. The destruc- tion here was of\a particulariy un- necessary kind, perhaps because of its northern associations. The Win- dows had been strongiy fortificd and the irregululrs wasted much ammu- nition sniping at the nationals in the distant hills. Before they left they helped them- selves to money from the bank. They had come from different parts of the country and included men who es- caped from the fighting in Dublin. They were poorly armed with rifles, hnt had plenty of revolvers and bombs, wnich wii: be of little use in the long-range methods of war- fare they propose to adopt. Flee Into Wicklow Hill The nationals encountered serious resistance only at Ballymore Eustace, where _they suffered some minor casualties. The frregulars fell back on their base, losing several small detachments. When the cordon on the south and west was within a mile of them.they slipped away into the wildest part of the Wicklow hills. The irregulars have lost their best leaders, including Andy MacDonnell and Jerry Boland. Jerry Is the brothér of Harry J. Boland. De Valgra's former secretary.

While the republican campaign of financing has not been announced, having been held over for a couple of weeks for selection of committee- men to look after the money end, the democrats have come out with a call for $76.000 in small sums from the rank and file of their party. No one expects them to be able to con- duct the extensive mail, advertising and speaking campalgn to reach every voter they promise for that sum, but it's a good talking point, owing to the big sums Pinchot had to spend to beat the state organization which backed Attorney General George E. Alter in the primary with tens of thousands. Pinchot sent a post_cprd to every one of 2,000,000 voters,! an unheard of campaign stunt. One of the unusual features of the democratic campaign is appearance in the leadership of sons and grand- sons of men who filled high places when democracy dominated Pennsyl- vania. ernor of the fifties, and another a son of Col. James Kerr, wha figured much in Pattison days, and backed by Bryan in 1908, became national committeeman. Palmer, McCormick, Morris and others who were chief- tains in the Wilson days are unheard of now.

Senator Day, as the author of the original bonus act and himself a world war veteran, expected that his vote would be largely augmented by the presentation of this amend- ment With a month of the primary cam- paign yet to run, it seems likely that the bulk of the republican votes that ! will be cast at the primary election for candidate for governor—the so- called organization ‘republicans-—will go to Col.

D, 5 over his three rivals for the repGbli- can nomination for senator is even more pronounced than that of Col. Thompson for governor. Only the candidacy of former Senator Dick is receiving any attention whatever. and he has been too long out of touch with the party leaders in the state to hope to make a good showing in a fight of this kind. On the democratic side it now seems impossible for the opponents of for- mer State Auditor A. V. Donahey to defeat him- unless they can induce Stare Tnduntrial Commissioner Thomas | J.
