BALTIMORE, Md, September 8.— A vote light even for a primary eiec- tion, which as a rule is an occasion ‘not conducive to heavy voting, will Dé cast in Baltimore city Monday, ac- eording to the predictions of the Politicians. Forecasts of the number of ballots to be cast by democrats and republicans combined range from 35,- (10 to 60,000, as compared with a combined democratic and republican registration of 198,705—120,604 demo- ecrats and 75,201 republicans. - To absence of any contest in either party for the gubernatorial or other state-office nomination is abscribed the anticipated lightness of the vote. A very bitter contest for the demo- cratic nomination for the governor- ship was averted by the accord be- tween Frank A. Furst, John Walter §mith, John M. Dennis and other prominent democrats. The republi- #ans were not troubled with any rultiplicity of candidates. Their trouble was to prevail upon Alexan- der Armstrong, attorney general, to fun, Anticipate Perfunctory Primary.

J. G. DEPONAL SIX IN FLORIDA RACE FOR GOVERNORSHIP; Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., September 8. ~=With half a dozen candidates for governor already announced, and mpaign speeches the order of the ay at recent Labor day celebrations, 34 would seem that Florida has al- &eady begun the campaign of 1924 in earnest. No doubt the change in ad- ‘minfstration, caused by the death of _President Harding, has precipitated matters, and will cause candidates and politicians generally to go through more.than the usual “course of eprouts” before the election, which occurs more than a year hence. “ “The several candidates for governor are all presumably well within the democratic lines—although the an- uncement of former Gov. Sydney J. 'Atts can scarcelv be called a -#traight-out proposition. Judge C. B. Parkhill of Tampa is one of the candidates who seems to - winning attention, and ex-Mayor ~Jehn W.

REPUBLICANS FACE TEST IN VIRGINIA but | that { Half Vote in National Convention. Special Dispateh to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., September 8. —Vir- ginla republicans are to be on their mettle in the elections of the coming years. This became known when the full import of the action looking to fixing the basis of representation in national party councils was fully un- derstood and realized. Under the jchange there will be only a bit more | ’lhun half of the ueual vote of the state in the national convention, and, ias the party is in power and the lmember of the national committee is {high in the affairs of the administra- ttion, the pride of the party is at stake and the stréngth of the | must be reflected In the change {ditions. To this end there are to b jcandidates for Congress in every dis “lrk‘! the coming year in order to re- vive the party and to indicate that they are not merely sceking to con- | jtrol and get the benefit of the patron- lage, but to stand for and uphold the | principles of the party Little Chance for Nominees. There is little or no chance for the republicans to elect their nominees {save in the seventh and ninth dis- jtricts. They have been more or less changeable for years, and have a population that “often votes as it pleases just to show that they have |a vote and can cast it as suits them. The ninth district, however, has for {state, and while last year the voters i proceeded to turn their backs on the ycandidate for Congress, it remains {to be scen if they are of the same mind when the election of a Presi- dent and Vice President are involved, On the whole, the belief is that not more than one republican can be |elected next year, and the nominee { of the republicans will have the time of his life wresting the district from | the democrats, who are in power at this time, but they have no patron- age to dispense, which has not always proven helpful’ to Mr. Slemp when e was the congressman. The demo- jcrats perfected their organization the last time and 1t is being kept alive in every precinct for the election of next year. So far there is no indi- cation as to whom the republicans will name in the district, but there are many who will ofter for the nomi- natton. Senator Glass Chotee. Virginia democrats have not yet isignified that they will have any sec- {ond cholce for the presidential race. | They are to stand by Senator Glass for that post.

There are some of the {demoerats who are talking a good {deal about former Gov.

Chances are that Virginia will not make any changes in her congres- slonal delegation the coming year, and it is accepted that all of the members at this time are willing and anxious to succeed themselv. It has been intimated that Congressman Thomas W. Harrison of the seventh district might be taken out of Con- gress and placed on the suprem court bench and that he was not dis. posed to object to such a procedure, but a definite statement from him has not appeared. Judge Harrison had long been on the bench in Virginia before he went to Congress and is of judicial temperament and leanings. HORACE A. HAWKINS. He—Do you remeémber Horatius at [ the bridge?

There appears to be a feellng in this state that the President will do something spec- tacular all In one week that will com- mand the admiration of the entire country, something llke the settle- ment of the Boston police strike, and will thereby go into the republican national convention with a big lead. Fred W.

'Go\-_ John M. Parker, who is known 'In Washington and the east almost las well as he iy in the south, wil figure In the next national democratic convention in one way or another, according to the belief in his home state. It is regarded here as almost a i",erlmnly that the Loulsiana delega {tion to the national convention will be instructed for Parker, in case he ishould develop strength for national honors. A group of democratic friende are actively boosting him for vice president on the national ticket. The old bull moose Louislana, now practically all regis: tered democrats, are still Parker boosters. They are not forgetful of the battle in 1916, when Mr. Parker headed a headless ticket, running for Vice President, and, incidentally, ury ing the election of Wilson for Pres- dent, as agalnst the old stand-pat republican. His independence in that nation-wide fight won for him the admiration of President Wilson and national democrats.

COLUMBUS, Ohfo, September 8.— If Ohlo republicans can avold a con- test for the nomination for governor next year they will probably have a declded advantage over the demo- crats in the 1924 state and federal elections here. Organization opposi- tion to Gov. Donahey which was ex- pressed in last year's election, will be materially increased it now ap- pears, when he comes again before the people. The governor's democratic majority 1ast year was a little less than 19,000, In a’total voting population of over two million that fs not a very safe margin. Patronage distribution has clearly made enemies for the gov- ernor. The break between Gov. Donahey and State Chairman W. W. Durbin of the democratic central committee seems to be complete. Probably any of the several re- publicans who are talked of as the candidate for governor against Gov. Donahey could command the full re- publican party vote, except possibly former Gov. H. L. Davis. His new form of state government adminis- tration which he forced an unwilling legislature to approve, made him a formidable crop of ‘encmies who would be sure to oppose him opnely {1f he should be nominated.
