LODEN PACED N BAD POITION Coup, Untraced to Author, Indicates Former Governor an Avowed Candidate. Spgeial Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, September 20.—Who engaged the second floor of the Con- ‘gress Hotel for former Gov. Frank O. Lowden, for the republican na- tional convention next year? That is what the Lowden leaders of Il- linois have been trying to ascertain and thus far without success. At present they belleve that it was a trick of the hotel management to stiv up interest in the convention, force the rival managers of poten- tial presidential candidates to hurry in with their reservations, and per- “haps create an impression that Chi- cago Is favored for the convention and no other city has a chance. The effect of the announcement that Lowden campalgn headquarters had been reserved had an effect op- site to_what the Lowden leaders red. It convinced the politicians throughout the nation, at least many of them, that Lowden was an avowed candidate for President and a number of writers have criticized Lowden in thelr articles because of bis alleged hurry to get Into the contest without giving Coolldge a chance. All of the Lowden leaders digclaim all responsibility for the reservations at the Congress Hotel, and the hotel management is not giving out any in- formation. From inside information it can be said that Lowden is not now a didate. He is sald to believe that if President Coolidge comes any- where near making good between now and the time for holding the ngtional conventibn, nothing can pRevent his nomination, H Waits for Results. An the meantime Lowden will play tife watchful waiting act. If politi- cal leaders think Coolidge is not big efough, then the Lowden forces are cgnfident that their man will have the best chance. Hundreds of letters from all over the middle west have bden received by Lowden, urging him ta enter the ra he democratic leaders are still nding pat for C Al Smith of New York and they want the demo- cratic convention to go to New York cify.

Special Dispatch to The Star, BOISE, Idaho, ~September Democrats of Idaho, Boise leaders de- clared recently, are Interested in threo things. The first s getting back to their place in the Idaho political situation, and the other two are ways and means of getting there. The vote for governor in the last state campaign was as follows: Republicans, B0,538; progressives, 40,116, and democra 810. To the democratic leaders evident that one way to recoup through thé governorship, the other through the United States Senate, and in both at this time the democrats are sitting back and walting to ses which way the republican cat will jump. The jumping puzzle is exemplified by the attitude of the republican or- ganization toward Willlam B, Borah and by the candidate making steps that may be followed by President Calvin Coolldge. Should Mr. Borah fail to get the republican nomination, or should Mr. Borah get the nomination, only after & fight within the state republican organization there will be no" tears shed, and if, in his stepping toward the republican nomination next year, Mr. Coolidge should slip there will be no gnashing of teeth in state democratic circles. Many a busted state machine has run to glory on the wave of national victory. Idaho demo- crats, therefore, are Keeping their eves on Coolidge and throwing af- fectionate glances at Brother Me- Adoo. Little Organization. All this, of course, is generality, but the democratic situation in Ida- ho at this timesis peculiarly full of generalities. The state organization hardly exists as such. Some leaders of the past are showing very little interest in politics; other leaders or potential leaders gite but little indi- cation that they are willing to be drafted or to sacrifice themselves to a lost cause. Many Boise democrats feel that there is real reason for hope in the national situation. They echo some- what the optimism of Pat Harrison of Mississippi, who insists that no new Englander can carry the coun- try against McAdoo. It is admitted, however, that even under the mo favorable circumstances candidates for both House and Senate will have to be drafted. There are men known to have some political ambition, but they are inclined to let matters take their course, and await a more favor- able opportunity. It will be spring, sald several democrats recently, be- fore there will be open signs of ace tivity in Idaho. MAINE WOMEN ACTIVE IN POLITICAL CAMPAIGN Democrats Consider Many for Gov- ernor Nominee, But No Candi- date Looms Strong. Spectal Dispatch to The Star. AUGUSTA, Me., September 29.—Mrs. Pattangall of this city, the wife of former Attorney General William R. Pattangall, democratic nominee for governor in 1922, the woman member | to_meet. from Maine of the democratic nation- al committee, announces the woman organization in Maine has been work- ing since the last election and will keep it up until thie next election in 1924. Mrs. Pattangall has been selected by Mrs. Emily Newell Blair of Mis- souri, vice chairman of the democratic national committee, as the temporary chairman of a regional conference of democratic women comprising the New England states, at Worcester, ass., October 29 and 30. M Democratic leaders are considering | tion. the feasibility of the plan of the party state convention making recommen- dations for nominees for state and district officers. If this plan is carried out no nominee papers will be cir- culated until after the convention. The plan will not, of course, prevent others than those recommended from petitioning themselves on the ballot, but as apparently there will be no contests for any of these nominations the convention thereby would really make the nominations. The last democratic state conven- tion adopted a plank advocating the repeal of ‘the -direct primary law, which the legislature refused to re- peal. Whether 2 simlar plank will be offered for the consideration of the next state convention is a question. The democrats are still at sea with respect to their candidate for govern- or. At one time tfiere was a report that if Gov, Baxter was renominated Mr. Pattangail, who was the candl- date last year, might reconsider his determination not to be a candidate and run against him. But those who have recently talked with the Augus- ta leader say that ‘he has made up his mind positively not to enter the lists again. J.CLEMENT MURPHY.

Chiefs Lead WATCHFULLY WAIT P,.Obe of McCray‘ Bankruptcy New and Watson to Attend Session at Which Indiana Be Asked to Quit. Special Dispatch to The Star. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., September 29. —An unprecedented political situa- tion exists in Indiana as republican leaders, ranging from a cabinet offl- cer on down the scale, prepared to enter & meeting of the state com- mittee tomorrow, the result of which may bé a demand on Gov. Warren T. McCray to resign because of compli- cations arising from his recent finan- clal collapse. Coincldental with the gathering of the state committeemen, the Marion grand jury will be placed at the dis- posal of representatives of the Marion, Ind., National Bank, who have asked permission to testify relative to Mc- Cray's financial operations with that institution. James A. Collins, judge of the Marion county criminal court, expects to name Charles W. Moores, United States commissloner, a special prosecutor to conduct the examina- tion into McCray's affairs because the prosecutor, Wiillam P. Evans, is a son-in-law of the governor. How extensive the grand jury probe will be depends on the situation as it develops Monday. Indications now are, however, that it may include all of the governor's financial dealings. In that case the investigation would last for weeks, it is said. 1t {s almost impossible to forecast the action of the state committee, but those well informed are of the opin- ion that it will either result in a sraight-out demand for McCray to relinquish his office or the complete severance of diplomatic relations be- tween the party organization and the governor. Watson and New Unite. The move, which has as its undis- guised aim the ousting of Gov. Mc- Cray, is sponsored by the allied force: of Postmaster General Harry New and Senator James E. Watson, the two apparently being united for the first time in years. The fact that the committee meeting_was postponed from today until Monday in order that Mr. New could be present lends credence to the report that the na- tional administration is deeply in- térested in the affair. Weight to this theory is lent also by the fact that James P. Goodrich, former governor, and one of the lead. ing splrits in the formation of a $350,000 “pool,” which came to Gov McCray's rescue when his financial predicament first became serious, re- cently was entertained at luncheon at the White House by President Cool- idge. In fact, the report is going the rounds here that the White House has asked the Postmaster General to investigate the situation and its bear- ing on future Indiana republican ac- tivities, ew held a series of conferences in Indianapolis last week, in which Gov. MeCray’s misfortune was discussed and the word went out then that the X s felt he should surrender Then, on the arrjv: of Senator Watson, that element off the republican party started conferring, the net result of the meetings being that Clyde A. Walb, state chairman, issued a call for the state committee Walb, acting as spokesman, asserts that the committee is not disposed to prejudge Gov. McCray. The state chair- man is accumulating a mass of data relative to the governor's fiscal opera- tions, including photographs of notes McCray is said to have indorsed, and this material will be presented to the committeemen. Gov. McCray insists that he will not resign, asserts that he has done noth ing wrong and through his attorney, James W. Noel, declares he welcomes the proposed grand jury investiga- He ked Walb to postpone the meeting for ten days, but the chair- man refused. This refusal is 4 to have led to some bitter words be- tween Walb and the governor. Gov. McCray is not without friends, as many believe that his personal misfortune w: due to the depression in farm values. John Moorman of Knox, the governor's political men- tor during the last session of the legislature, is his chief adviser in the present crisis. The governor has -been asked to attend the committee meeting, al- ough Walb warned Moorman that rank statements will be made and questions will be asked. Whether McCray will face the com- mittee and the formidable array of | forces has not been de- | termined, although from the manner | political in which he met the first onslaught those acquainted with him believe he_will be present. Besides the committeemen, the meeting will be attended by New, ‘Watgon, Goodrich and Joseph B. nqw functioning.

The entire state is aroused over the situation, most of the leaders siding with the while the mere voters either are sympathizing with McCray or are withholding an opinion. The democrats are taking no part in the controversy, the organization taking thé position that so far it is a republican matter and one for the G. O. P. to settle, if it can. Walter 8. Chambers democratic state chair- man, even has stopped the issuance af publicity from state headquarters for fear that it would be construed as an attack on McCray.

Special Dispateh to The 8 BISMARCK, N. Dak., September 29, —What President Coolidge will do for the farmer is anxiously awaited fn the northwest. News that the Presi- dent and his cabinet are taking up the problem of the farmer has awak- ened a keen interest in the national administration in North Dakota. Be- cause the bitter political warfare in the state in the last six years has re- volved entirely around the subject of governmental aid to the farmer, this question s uppermost in the minds of North Dakotan: Raising the tariff on importation of Canadian wheat will not sol the problem of the wheat farmer, accord- ing to general expression. A poli- tician high in state councils, a firm republican and a supporter of the ad- ministration, lares the Fordney- McCumber tari® {s unpopular and that the farmers believe that pro- visions in the law permitting Ameri- can millers to use much Canadian wheat and escape mopt of the duty has defeated its purpose in preventing the dumping of Canadian wheat in America.
