—_— VIEW OF POLTS N WEST VRGN Former Governor Denies Am- bition; Woman Candidate for Senate Likely. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHARLESTON, W. Va, September 8 —Former Gov. John J. Cornwell of Romney, chief counsel and a director of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, took occasion to set at rest rumors concerning his political inten- tions in an address he made recently at a luncheon meeting arranged in his honor by the Charleston Kiwanis Club. H “I have had all the public service I want,” he declared. “If any man wants to shoot at me because of the | thought that I might be a candidate and in his way he had better save his_ammunition.” ~ Gov. Cornwell has been figuring in political gossip as a_possible demo- ! cratic candidate in the primary next May for either United States senator | wor governor. Some of the writers been proposing him for the | idency. a proposition made In 6 by the New York Times and | everal other influential Jjournals, whose favor was inspired by Gov.| Cornwell’s decided stand against rad- | m in organized labor circles. Varylng Views of Davix. ling newspapers of this state are disagreeing as to the compara- tive strength in West Virginia of John W. Davis of Clarksburg, former am G, arc assador to England, and William McAdoo, in the event that both considered for the presidential nomination at the next democratic national convention. Some of these newspapers assert that Mr. Davis could get the support of the West Virginia delegation “hands down.,” if he wants it, while others claim that the McAdoo sentiment is in the ascendency in the state, Evidences are seen of an organized movement in the interest of Mr. Mc- Adoo, with former United States Sen- | ator William E. Chilton of Charleston, owner of one of the principal demo- | cratic newspapers of the state, as the | leader. This newspaper is silent | amid the talk of a Davis candidacy. | but eldquent and praiseful in its men- | tionings of Mr. McAdoo. It is even said that Senator Chilton would sup- | press his ambition to return to the Senate d engage as state manager | for a doo campalgn in case the forme; ccretary of the Treasury should desire that service. Chilton's Hat in Ring. As the matter now stands, it is practically assured that Senator Chil- ton will make the race again for United States senator, and close friends of his profess to believe that he will have primary opposition. It was learned this week, however, from trustworthy sources that Mrd Izetta Jewell-Brown of Kingwood, Wwho made a creditable showing in the primary last vear against United Btates Senator M. M. Neely, is seri- contemplating another candi- Mrs. Brown, widow of the late ntative Willlam G.

Chlef of this wing wre ex-Gov. Cornwell and former United States Senator C. W. Watson of Fairmont. Sutherland May Be In Race. On the republ n side, the latest tnformation is_that former United Senator Howard Sutherland of who was defeated last fall nator Neely, will try to regain seat in the Senate. Senator Da- kins is to be a candidate in the primary for renomination, according to reliable information, and it is pretty certain there will be at least one other contestant. Herschel C. Ogden of Wheeling, multi-publisher and manufacturer, who lost to Sena- tor Sutherland in the republican primary last year, and who is one of the leaders of thé anti-state admine istration wing. has been urging for- mer Gov. Henry D. Hatfield of Hunt- ington to run for the Senate, but without success so far. Gov. Ephraim F. Morgan also has been discussed as a possibly primary candidate for the senatorship. He neither admits nor denies an aspiration in that di- rection. Republicans Taught a Lesson. Republican leaders are _being brought to a realization that they must adjust their differences if they are to win in the election next year, an election of more than usual im- portance from the fact that three of five judges of the supreme court of appeals are to be chosen. A former judge of that court, Harold A. Ritz. has written to Chairman M. Z. White of the republican state executive com- mittee suggesting a pre-primary con- vention to iron out party differences and advise on primary candidates which the party can support united- ly. Chairman White has the sugges- tion under advisement. In the matter of republican guber- i natorial candidates the only tangible prospects at this time are Attorney General T. England, Walter S. Hallanan, former state tax commis- sioner; Secretary of State Houston G. Young, who has made announcement that he will not seek another term, and Howard M. Gore of Clarksburg, member of the state board of educa- tion and special representative of the United States Secretary of Agricul- ture in the enforcement of the packer control bill. Democratic Possibilities. The governor talk with the demo- erats is strongest for Clem L. Shaver of Fairmont, former chairman of the democratic state executive com- mittee, who is being paraded as the man_best fitted to heal factional ills; W. E. R. Byrne df Charleston, speaker of the house of delegates, and R. F. Dunlap of Hinton, democratic state chairman. Herbert Fitzpatrick of Huntington was the most likely pros- pect until a few days ago, when he accepted a position as chief counsel and vice president of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, a posi- tion which will take him to Rich- fnond, Va Two potential names in this connection which have escaped public notice are J. Walter Barnes of the state board of control and former State Senator Scott Lowe of Fair- mont. State Senator E.

Borah May Face Fight. Special Dispateh to The Star. BOISE, Idaho, September 8.—Presi- dent Coolldge has the good will of Idaho. Mr. Harding was very popu- lar in the Gem state, and the feeling that the new Executive is quietly and strongly taking up the work where Harding left {t has transferred to Coolidge much of the confidence en- joyed by his predecessor. The title of “Silent Cal" is sure to be an asset in these states toward the sunset end of the Old Oregon trail. In Idaho the ploneers, men of silence and action, are still held in revered memory. The political temper of Idaho was indicated several days ago by Sena- tor W. E. Borah upon his return from a trip through the northern counties, when he said: “I have never seen so much interest in public questions at this time of the year.” The Idaho farmer {s intensely interested in lower railroad rates and a market for an unusually bountiful wheat harvest. In some sections there is a decided feeling that the government has a responsibility in relleving the situation created by an excess of wheat, because it is a result of over- production urged upon the country durfhg the war period. The average farmer is not a careful student of economics, and, having made a huge outlay in equipment necessary to pro- duce wheat on a war-time basis, is inclined to feel, and is somewhat Justified in feeling, that the loss which must be taken during readjustment should be shared by the nation as & whole. This attitude was expressed at a mass meeting of wheat growers held at Moscow, Idaho, recently, and reso- lutions were adopted favoring a spe- cial session of Congress to meet the “wheat crisis.” Generally speaking, Idaho will see no extremely radical political devel- opments during the coming year. The farmers are going to fight until they get on the same econorhic level with other industries. In 1924 Idaho will elect a United States senator and two representa- tives in Congress. At the present time there is less than the usual talk of opposition to either of Idaho's present representatives. ‘There is at present little doubt that both Burton L. French and Addison T. Smith will be returned to Washington by the voters at the next election. With Senator W. E. Borah a fore- cast_is more difficult. The seed of opposition is being quietly but defi- nitely sown and there are unhis- takable indications that at least some of it is falling upon fertile ground. Just what may happen in next year's senatorial race cannot vet be surmised by the closest observers. That there may be a race which will arouse national intersst seems quite probable. JEROME BARTELL.

Bpectal Dispatch fo The Star. SIOUX FALLS, S. D., September 8.— South Dakota next year will elect a ) United States senator, and “interest already is quite keen. United States Senator Thomas Sterling, republican, is a candidate to succeed himself, and his friends in the state will make a strong and aggressive fight. Thus far he is the only republican candidate in the fleld. There have been rumors that Gov. McMaster, who recently attracted nation-wide attentipn because of his fight for a reduction in the price of gasoline, will become a republican candidate against Senator Sterling. McMaster now is serving his second term as governor, his term not ex- piring until January 1, 1925. In the event that he becomes a candidate for the republican nomination and elec- tion to the United States Senate there is a possibility that he might resign the governorship. Friends of Senator Sterling, how- ever, appear quite confident that Sen- ator' Sterling can win the republican nomination at the March primary election. In past campaigns Senator Sterling has been very strong with South Dakota republicans, and those in touch with his political affairs as- sert there has been no diminishing in his popularity. For many years before being elected to the United States Senate he was dean of the law department of the University of South Dakota, and is said to have been ex- ceedingly popular with the students of the law department. The active part taken during the past few years by Senator Sterling in behalf “of prohibition legislation in the Senate also has made him very strong with the male voters of the state who favor prohibition. and also with the republican woman voters. Some of the American Legion m of South Dakota have severely criti cized him because he was opposed to a.natlonal bonus for the soldiers who saw service during the war against Germany, but it is thought Senator Sterling will be able to show that the finances of the country at the time the matter came up in Congress were not in a satisfactory enough condition to warrant the measure.

Special Dispatch to The Star. HARRISBURG, Pa., September 8.— Prospects of a contest at the Penn- sylvanla primaries next April over the democratic national- committee seat between former Representative Bruce F. Sterling_of Uniontown and Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell of Phila- delphta, old-time rivals in the peren- nial battle for control of the Key- stone state democratic organization, have thrust discussion of McAdoo, | Smith and Underwood as presiden- tial nomination possibilities into the rear seats the past week. Repub- lican state leaders, and even con- gressional aspirants, have been en- tirely willing, because of the an- thracite strike parleys and the bitter county and municipal primary bat- ties to be settled this month, to allow their party matters to continue to drift. Earlier Struggle Seon Due. The primary elections will be held on September 18 and, although the struggles in Philadelphia and Pitts- burgh especially and in.many of the smaller cities are full of ginger, the registration has been below expecta- |tlons and many women have dis- played an eagerness to list their names. The situation is being given intense study and, unless the final reglistration efforts show the result of party activity, there will be a light vote, with the women cutting more of a figure than in any previous primary. Woman candidates for coun- ty nominations are numerous this autumn. Some signs of desire to se- | cure Pennsylvania delegates for President Coolldge have been ob- served, but it will not be until the primary results are analyzed that names will be discussed. The democratic delegate campaign s expected to get under way early and to be lively. Mr. Sterling is a former state chairman and, it is be | lieved, will be aligned with the Mc. Adoo forces. He has been visiting many parts of the state and Judge | Bonnlwell has been no less active. A cross fire of injunctions and mandamus proceedings Is getting un- der way over the Pinchot adminis- tration’s reorganization code, which will have many political angles. It will start In earnest next week. Meanwhile the anthracite parleys have furnished much ground for speculation as to the Pinchot future. A BOYD HAMILTO COOLIDGE WATCHED BY CONNECTICUT Voters Not Sure of His Record, But Are Favorable to New England Man. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. HARTFORD, Conn., September 8.— The republicans of this state would, in the event of a movement to send a solid New England Coolldge dele- gation to the national convention, un- doubtedly, be found with Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island in support of the President. It {s true, however, that the present disposition of the voters of the rank and file of the party Is to see first whether President Coolidge makes good, not that there is any pronounced, feeling that he does not measure up to the White House stand- ard of statesmanship, but, because, even with his accomplishments in an adjoining state, the average man ll!n(:eun'! feel that he knows much about im. Other things being equal, or nearly equal, Connecticut republicans would prefer to support a New England can didate, but it is always to be remem bered 'that Massachusetts and Con- necticut are the big states of the New England six and, in a way, rivals.

C, SEPTEMBER 9, 1923—PART 1. without its Empire state leanings and attitide and, from its geographical position, might as well be one of the middle states as one of the New Eng- lang six. All of which means that. while the G. O. P. in this ‘state is not at all unfriendly to the Massachu- setts man, and he is a favorite with the leaders, there is something of a disposition to take the Missouri at- titude and ask to be shown. That President Coolidge will have cordlal and hearty support from this state in the national convention of 1924, if he makes good. has something more than guessing to warrant the prediction, as he was not without a vote_from Connecticut for nominee for President in the convention of 1920, and on the ballot which nomi- nated him_ for the vice presidency, only one Connecticut vote was cast for an opposing candidate.
