LA FOLLETTE SHOWS STRENGTH IN OHIO Surprising Independent Talk Appears and Indications Point to Uncertainty. Special Dispateh to The Star. COLUMB'JS July 25—Ohio Is not far enough west to be involved in the political insurgency that char- acterizes the Northwest section Of the wheat and corn belt, and yet if the national election were to be held today Senator La Follette would re- ceive no inconsiderable vote here. It is the labor clement and the farmer element that is inclined to drift from | former political moorings, and it is among organized labor that one hears here the most of the La Fol- lette talk. It came as a surprise to find that among Republican farmers in this state there is not much enthusiasm for Mr. Coolidge. It could not be termed opposition. It is not at all militant, and it did not make itself feit all in the presidential pri- maries. Undoubtedly the hard finan- cial straits the farmer has been in for several years is the cause State Conxervative. The people of Ohlo are typically couservative, both the rural and | urban elements of the population, and | ond thought the voters ie State will naturally drift back | old party moorings.” They cer- tainly will if improved conditions warrant it. For this reason La Fol- support in this State, whatever be now. will probably dwindle through the campaign. State the La Follette sup- port will come from both parties and on the whole probably in about equal proportions. The labor part of it would naturally be m up of a majority of former Democrats while the rural La Follette following would probably be made up principally of Republicans. he Staie campaign is not such as! 10 give the Republican national ticket | much aid.

Spectal Dispateh to The Star. RALEIGH, N. C, July 26.—La Fol- lette has many supporters in this state, especially among the railroad workers, but he will not be in the running in the election in November. Neither will President Coolidge. North Carolina is sgfely committed to Davis. Therefore, politics has ac- quired mostly an academic interest here since the New York convention Quit business. Reports from Washington state that la Follette supporters have no intention of doing more than culti- vate the ground in North Carolina preparatory to 1928, when the big fight will be made. Probably it wouldn't be worth while to bother with representatives, as none would be elected. The only North Carolina representative In sympathy with the la Follette wing ‘is Representative Hallett Ward, and he is quitting. He values his independence of thinking more than he does a seat in the House of Representatives, and is get- ting out voluntarily. Before a political party can get standinig in this State it must have 10,000 supporters sign a petition or declaration, and this must be done within_the required time, which the State Board of Elections would prob- ably rule has already past. y JOHN A. LIVINGSTONE. MONTANA LOONS FOR LA FOLLETTE Special Dispatch to The Star, HELENA, Mont., July 26.—It would be a bold man who would prophesy that La Follette will not carry Mon- tana next November. Whatever the strength Burton K. Wheeler adds to the La Follette ticket in other states, he unques- tionably will come near carrying Montana for his chief in a three- cornered fight. Politicians in both parties are whistling to keep their courage up, but privately they are sweating. Wheeler is playing the game clev- erly. He has indorsed Senator Walsh, incumbent, despite the fact that the Farmer-Labor part which is behind La Follette for Pres. ident, had put up State Senator J. W Anderson of Sidney for United States As well. the Montana Con- ference for Progressive Political Ac- tion, meeting here a few days ago, not only indorsed Walsh, but also de- ded to back Miles Romney, a Ham- iton editor, and a Wheeler man, for governor. 'John ' M. Ivans, Demo- cratle incumbent, Missoula, was_in- dorsed by the C. P. P.

A Dainty Grand Adds to the Charm of the Home to own. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C WATSON-NEW FEU FLAMES IN INDIANA S8nator’s Effort to Oust Dry Chief. Hotly Contested. May Hurt Coolidge. Special Dispatch to The Star. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 26— Senator James E. Watson's demand for the removal of Bert C. Morgan, federal prohibition inforcement di- rector for Indiana, has stirred & po- Iitical hornet’s nest that resembles the famous McCray. episode in its in- tensity. Nothing since the former governor was indicted and sent to the penitentiary has stirred the Republi- cans of this state as has the contro- versy between Watson and Morgan. The case threatens to become a national issue if permitted to run its free coursc. Watson's demand for Morgan's removal is said to be purely political, being based on the charge that Morgan, allied with the faction swearing _allegiance to Postmaster General Harry S. New, has worked against the senator’s interests. Complains to Haynes. Watson’s demand for Morgan's re- moval was made directly to Roy A. Haynes, federal prohibition commis- sioner. ' Morgan has told Haynes that he will not resign and that he will not accept an order transferring him from the Indiana field. Morgan proposes to carry his fight to retain his place directly to Andrew Mellon, secretary of the Treasury, and if need be right into the White House. It is understood that the post- master ‘general, who recommended Morgan's ~ appointment, is standing squarely back of him. . Butler Is Given Factx. The affair has been brought to the attention of William M. Butler, na- tional Republican chairman, on the ground that it would seriously hamper the national ticket in Indiana. The Anti-Saloon League, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, minis- terial associations and church people generally have aligned themselves with Morgan. The Republican State organization, althouzh in sympathy with Watson, is maintaining a hands- off policy. Senator Watson already has selected Frank Rowley, postmaster of Angola, as Mox i ccessor. Haynes has conferred with Rowley and has an- nounced he is well satisfied with the choice. HAROLD C. FEIGHTNER. R — How Should Water Taste? Although the palatability of water is largely a matter of Individual taste, there are objectionable tastes in water that can be ascribed defi- nitely to either chemicals such as iron, chlorine or an alkali, decaying vegetation, microscopical organisms or pollution by trade wastes, etc. When tanks or reservoirs become contaminated from any of these causes the cheapest and easiest way is to clean out the container and start with a new supply, though copper sulphate or chlorine properly used are very effective in controlling or- ganisms in such reservoirs. Volcano Heat Harnessed. Experiments have been conducted in Ttaly looking toward the utiliza- tion of volcanic heat. The idea is to convert it into motive power and the results thus far are promising. In Japan, where there is constant vol- canic activity on a fairly large scale, the experiments are being closely watched. F.

Va., July 26. On the same day John W. Davis is to be notified formally at Clarksburg of his nomination for President the Farmer- Labor party of West Virginia will meet in a neighboring county for the avowed purpose of choosing elec- tors for the La Follette-Wheeler ticket. The Farmer-Labor party was or- ganized at Clarksburg last year, but it did not participate as a‘body in the State-wide primary in May, and has only functioned feebly in spots. The present revival apparently has for its main object the securing of space for La Foiletto electors on the official ballot. While there has been no authorita- tive opinion in the matter, the West Virginia election law seems to be out of tune with the enterprise of the Farmer-Labor group. e primary election- law passed in 1916 desig- nates the primary for nominations outside of the judiciary and for presidential wpreferences. Supreme court judges are nominated at State conventions held between August 1 and 15, but the statute gives no au- thority to make other nominations. Under certain conditions, and not less than 30 days beforo a primary election, nominations can be certi- fied by political parties having na- tional organizations, and which cast less than 10 per cent of the total vote cast for governor at the last preceding general election. The call for the meeting on_August 11 at Fairmont, home of Clem L. Shaver, Democratic national chair- man, was issued by Noah Zinn of Clarksburg, State chairman of the Farmer-Labor party, and is directed to farmers, farmers' organizations, railway employes, industrial work- ers, business men and women, Social- ist party locals and others. LYNN KIRTLAND. LA FOLLETTE DRIVE ON IN MARYLAND BALTIMORE, July 26.—The presi- dential campaign of Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin in Mary- land was formally launched here this week at-a joint meeting of delegates from a number of independent polit- ical organizations and labor unions. ‘While the meeting was called solely to make arrangements for the State- wide convention of independent po- litical and labor delegates to be held here next Sunday, a resolution in- dorsing Senator La Follette and Sen- ator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana for the Vice Presidency was unani- mously passed. That the La Follette movement is | causing both the old political parties in Maryland uneasiness is admitted by politicians generally, and just which party will suffer the m. by the votes drawn by the Wisconsin senator is rather problematical.
