o THE / SUNHAY STAR, 'WASHINGTON AODAGTITY " DICONCERTS COX Frlends of 1920 Nominee See Problems Made Difficult Early In Race. Bpeclal Dispatch to The Star. COLUMBUS, Ohto, November 8.—The Ohlo municipal elections are to be held on Tuesday of next week, and with these political matters of secondary im- portance out of the way, decks will be cleared for action in the state and ma- natlonal elections of next year. First, it is expected that the dmocratic of- ganization bosses, who are known to be in arms against Gov. Donahey and intend to prevent his renomination, will meet to select an opposition can- didate. They will have with them this tirhe, ms they did mot two vears ago, State Chairman . W. Durbin, who threw himself unreservedly in 1922 into the contest for Donahey. Chairman Durbin asked but one thing of Gov. Donahey in roturn for his help, and that was the reappolntment of A. R. Taylor, who had been state highway commissioner under Gov. J. M. Cox, to that position. Gov. Donahey turned down the request. Durbin walked out of the governor's office and declared war on him. The latest suggestion as an opposition @emocratic candidate for the nomina- tion for governor s former Secretary of State Charles S. Graves of Toledo. Donahey Denles Story. Gov. Donahey entered a denfal of the feport sent from Washington when he was there attending President Cool- 1dge’s conferenee on law enforcement that he would support Mr. Coolidge in preference to Gov. Smith of New Yorh for the presidency, but he did not con- ceal the fact that he Is not at all in harmony with Gov. Smith in his atti- tude toward th- enforcement of the Volstead act. In fact, the governor contlnues to give intimations that he will seek the support of the moral forces of the voters in his contest next year rather than plan his campaign for ro-election along party lines. A few vears ago & wealthy farmer of some- Wwhat eccentrle ideas bequeathed his luable farm of several hundred acres &t Yellow Springs, Ohio, to the state on condition that no' religlous exercises of any kind should ever be held on the ground. Govs. Cox and Davls refused to mccept the farm with that condition in the gift deed. Gov. Donahey took the same position, but the legislature passed an act accepting the land, and When the governor- vetoed the _bill passed it over his veto. The State Counell of Churches last week urged legal actlon to test the validity of this act, and Gov. Donahey promptly directed the attorney general to bring such an action in the courts. Obviously the governor is cultivat- ing the church vote. Preparatory to the opening of Me- Adoo_headquarters in Chicago, Judge David L. Rockwell of Ravenna, who is to have charge of the Chicago office, conferred last week with Mr. McAdoo and former Internal Revenue Commlssioner D. §. Roper, supervisor of the enterprise, in New York. From New York Judge Rockwell went di- rect to Chicago to open the head- quarters there. The fast work of the McAdoo leaders has rather discon- certed the Cox supporters here. A month ago it seemed certain that (Fov. Cox would have the solid Ohio delegation without a contest. G. 0. P, Leaders Silent. The - republican_erganization lead ers here sit tight and glve no indi- cation of making any concessions to the rank and flle sentiment that President €oolidge may not have the dash and personal magnetism neces- sary in a_presidentlal didate to make a strong appeal to the people. Without a spokesman this sentiment is likely to die out, and the party leaders are apparently nroceedlnfi with the expectation that there wil be no contests for delegates except those that arlse between individuals for the honor of serving. ‘With additional candldates for the republican nomination for governor, it is beginning to look as though the large fleld would led by Col. Carmi A. Thompson, the candi- date of 1922, ‘and former Gov. H. L. Davis, with the nomination almost sure to go to oné or the other. The dopesters are inclined to favor Col. Thompson. J. H.

Former United States Senator Oba- diah Gardner of Rockland, s in a receptive mood for the democratic! nomination for governor in the pri- maries next Juné. This announce- ment was made by Senator Gardner fiimself, who declared that he I8 wilung to serve as a candidate, if it is unmis= takably Indicated that the democratic voters desire him.

LOUIS M. THAYER. DAVIS PRESIDENGY BOOM 15 GROWING West Virginia Admirers Form- ing Clubs to Boost Na- tive Son. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHARLESTON, W. Va., November 3.—The movement in this state for a presidential candidacy for John W. Davis of Clarksburg progresses. Following the lead of Ohlo county democrats at Wheeling, another Davis Club was formed this week in the adjoining county of Marshall. An organization campaign will be carried on In every county With the assistarice of a “misslonary commit- tee,” selected at the Wheeling meeting. The Falrmont Times, one of several West Virginia democratis news- papers which have been printing “For President, John W. Davls, 1924," on their editorial pages, dropped that ticket last week without com- ment, and the omission has excited considerable speculation. The Times was first with this ticket printing and with laudatory remarks about Mr. Davis in connection with the Presidency. McAdoo unquestionably has a strong following in West Vir- ginia and while sentiment for him has been deferring outwardly to the boom for a’native son, it would not be surprising if ‘this policy of ra- pression changes later to open ad- vocacy. For a time Senator Chilton and his Charléston Gazette heaped com- pliments on 'Mr. McAdoo and studi- ously refralned from any mentioning of Mr. Davis, but advice that this eourse would be prejudicial to the intended primary candidacy of Sen- ator Chilton for United States Sen- ator apparently has been heeded by the latter in 8o far as his paper ls concerned. Goft Beom Plenses. Republicans are well pleased over the publicity being glven Col. Guy D. Goft of Clarksburg, who has held several responsible positions in the federal government in recent vears, as a potentian possibility for the re- publican nomination for vice presi- dent next year. The pre-primary situation in the state took several new slants during the week. W. E.

The outlook is for,a nard fought battle for 'this nomina- tion between four or more candi- dates.

FOESOF PRIMARY ACTIVE I DN Watson’s Hand Seen in Ef- fort to Flood Field With Candidates. Special Dispated to The Star. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., November §.— With two candidates for the, repub- lican nomination for governor al- {ready announced, and with others pre- paring to enter the race, it is extreme. ly probable that the primary nex {May will be such a closely contested affair that the convention Wil be called to make the uitimate selection of the nominee. Under the Indiana law it Is necessary for a candidate to recelve a majority of all the votes cast to be nominated, and if that is not done the convention mist make the selection, either from the fleld of active contestants or from :outside | ranks. Such an eventuality would be much to the liking of those G. O. P. leaders who have cohsistently opposed the primary, and who in the last two sés- sions of the legislature have maie futile attempts to have the law re- pealed. Opposition to the primary law has been directed largely from the camp of Senator James E. Watson for sev- eral years. Watson followers led the assault on the law in the last session of the legislature, only to admit de- feat before an aroused public opinion which had its inapiration from Albert J. Beveridge, a consistent champlon of the primary. There Is no doubt that the senator’s followers would, like to see a Watson man head the state ticket next year, but they are doubtful if that can be done through the primary. For that reason the Watson forces are flirtiig with practically every candidate men- tioned, except FEd Jackson, secretary of state, who is expected to be the Ku Klux Klan favorite. Cun Dominate Convention. The Watson forces are inspired by two motives. First, there is unimis- takable ovidence that they hope to get enough entrants into the race to throw the choice Into a conventién where by their superior organization and lqng training they can dominate the selection. In the event that fails they hope by encouraging each candi- date to ride through with the victor 1% one is returned by the primary. For that resson today observers see a certain Watson influence back of Mayor Shank of Indianapolis, who has cost his hat into the ring ofi an anti-Klan and _anti-public service commission platform. Watson work- ¢rs are encouraging Edgar D). Bush of Salem_to become a candidate, and some Watson men are flirting with E. C. Toner of Anderson, who announced his candidacy a few weeks ago. Many angles are presented by the peculiar situation in this state. Toner sees his stock rising because of the impending fight between Shank and Jackson on the Klan issue. The An- derson man has not taken a positive stand elther way on the Klan, and hopes to win from both sides because of the expected bitter tilt between Shank and Jackson. Bush's éntrance will mean a four-way division of the votes, and at present it would seem an impossibility for any one to get & majority over the other three. Shank Independen Shank, because of hik indépendent ways, IS not inspiring a great dénl of enthusiasm aniong organization lead- ers, for they fear he might upset a lot of carefully prepared plans if he once lands in the governor's office. But right now many of the leaders are looking Shankward because they be- lleve he is the only man%ho can win on the republican ticket $n the face of Une McCray debacle, N Whether the leaders .would dare: to go into a convention ahd select an outsider is a question that may not be answered until neXxst: May. It is slgnificant, however, th&t many, on looking over the field of active and potential candidates, are discussing that very maneuver. HAROLD C. FEIGHTNER. et gaat 2 BELGIAN ENVOY RETURNS.

D., November 3.— Early indications that there would be three republican candidates in the field for the United States senatorship in South Dakota have not been borne out by recent developments, which point to the fact that there will be only two—United States Senator Thomas Sterling and Gov.

ELECTION NOVELTY SPRUNG BY PARKER Louisiana Governor Urges His Lieutenant Be Named as Successor. NEW ORLEANS. La., November 3.— Louislana has just been treated to a rare spectacle in her political history. Never before can the old-timers re- call when a governor has comie into the open, accepted the gage of battle and gone to bat for the election of his lieutenant to the governorship. That is what Gov. John M. Parker has done. He has had the reputation in all his political career of doing the uhexpected. In this he has not sur- prised those who knew him. Returning from the governor's con- ference, which he bolted because of its attitude on prohibition, Gov. Par- ker announced that he had hired th® Athenaeum, the largest auditorium in New Orleans, and on Monday night, October 29, he would render an ac- counting of his stewardship as gover- nor. “1 am reporting to the people, they are my bosses.” said Gov.
