BALTIMORE, August 23.—While William H. Butler, national Republi- can chairman, in a statement this week claimed Maryland for Coolidge, the Democrats are not so sanguine, and, according to Gov. Ritchie him- self, he told John W. Davis, the par- ty's standard bearer, that “Maryland will be debatable fighting grourd in the coming election, with the odds favoring the Democratic ticket,” at a confer- ence with the presidential candidate | in New York this week. Gov. Ritchie told Davis frankly the assets and liabilities of the Demo- crats in Maryland, and expressed con- fidence that those business men who seem inclined to support Coolidge will find they have as satisfactory champton in Davis. Considerable of the Maryland cam- paign, which will be formally opened at & meeting here Tuesday, will be directed to these elements. Gov. Ritchie also believes that the “wets™ have nothing to lose by backing Da- vis. Another indication that the Democratic leaders look for a hard fight to carry the State is the fact that the national committee has been notified that Maryland will not con- tribute to the natienal campaign Chest, but will keep their funds for use in their own State, which they regard as pivotal. Mr. Davis told Gov. Ritchie that he will make one of the main speeches of his campaign in Maryland. This will probably be Bis ‘“‘States’ rights™ speech. Senator La Follette, the independ- ent candidate, appears to be in fair Wway of gaining some advantage in Baltimore City from the same sourc: which helped elect Gev. Ritchie by over 46,000 votes last year—the oppo- sition of tie Ku Klux Klan and the fact that the Antl-Saloon League has snnounced that either Coolidge or Davis are acceptable. Hence the wet wote must go to the Wisconsin Sen- ator, as he has anncunced himself as Deing opposed to the Yann-‘ st sceording to the president ef R‘m- the Amendment, although his platform ssys nothing on the subject. Eatry of a fourth national pelitical party into the fall election in Mary- Jand was forecast this week when the ‘Workers' party obtained approval to the form of a petition to be circu- lated in the State.

Special Dispateh to The Star. Vt, August 23.— thing about Calvin Coolidge. You can bank upon what o wants. And if the person doing the banking happens to be a plain, old New England woman who for more than 17 years has done the eooking in the John Caalidge home- stead in this quaint old village, why, then the surety is unassailabdle. Aurora Pierce, hausekeeper for the elder Coolidge, knows what the Presi- dent wants and makes na fuss about getting it for him. “When you know what he wants, that's what he wants and that's what he geta” she sald sueeinctly in reply to a question whether the Executive is fussy about what he eata. Of eouree, it waan't expected that a Yankee born and bred in the Ver- mont hills would forget his training and “put on airs” as Aurora would put it. but it might have beem ex- pected that the jump from this primi- tive village to the White House would Bhave alightly affected the culinary tastes of even the most Puritan of persoms. Not so Calvin Coelidg Impertant to Family. Avurora is probably one of the most important links in the plans te. make the vacation of the Washington Caol a success. She was taken into the confidence of the planners and displayed an appropriate dig- nity—a digunity that was expected of & Vermont Yankee. The elder Coolidge called Aurora into conference when it was decided that the President would spend his wacstien in the simple and almost primitive home, and the colonel sug- gested, very tactfully, that probably Aurora would like to have help to|,, keep the house up and to do the cook- ing. This was the first time that help had ever been offered Aurora and she didn’t take to it kindly. Bverybody works in this meighber- soticlsm. that Doed, snd the wemt can be made of a decent, law-abiding citizen is that he or she is lazy. Something of this sort may have crossed Aurora’s mind. Certainly if anybody else but the colonel had made any such suggestion she would have resented the implication that she was unable to take care of the household. But she merely looked into the colonel's, face for a fleeting moment and said decisively: Ready to Handle Job. “Well, I reckon if the family is to consist only of you and the Presi- dent and his wife and young John and Aunt Flora I can get along all right” (Aunt Flora is Mrs. Wiliam Smith, who was visiting the elder Coolidge.) So Aurors reigns supreme over her immaculate kitchen. And her domain includes the remainder of the house, too. In fact, if any other maid were brought in for the Coolidge vacation she'd probably sulk the whole time, as_she confided to a meighbor. Being a woman, it is not in the scheme of things that Aurera should confide her age. Suffice it to say that she is “over 40 She iz rather tall and spare and weighs about 108, which in thess days of silhouuettes is rather desirable. She has soft hair, streaked with gray, and blue eyes. She isn’t beautiful, but she bas per- sonality and a certain wholesomeness —the wholesomeness of a.Geol ing New England spinster. In her simple manner, she is striving val- fantly not to feel “uppity” just be- cause she is oooking for the first genteleman and lady of the land. That would be “putting on airs” and would be unseemly. But, at that, she cannot help being affected by all reporter folk frem Boston and New York and Washington and all the other big cities. Knows Way to Heart. Aurora relies a grest deal upon the visitors from Washington. course, she wasn't in the Coolidge home when Calvin lived there as a young man, but he has visited the old homestead a syfficient number of times for her to know what he wents. Aurora is of the old school, and knows that a man's heart is reached via his stomach. The first thing she aid, for example, was to cook up a large batch of doughnuts. She knows that the Pres- ident likes these for breakfast. She also prepared a big jar of cookies, the kind that John loves. These were suficleatly numerous to last through the vacation. Then, as scon as the President and his family arrived, she made up layer cake with ample frosting that she knows from experience is the Arve Whelesome. are simple, but they are wholesome and good. The writer can vouch for this. That first meal of the President included a fineq catch of brook treut which Aurera cooked. They were caught and eleaned by a Secret Seyvice agent, one Peck, on. the last day of the open sesson. Aurora learned on' that first mosn- ing that the President has alipped in ane/thing.

But that never happened again. Jeha's Appetite Hearty. The colone! was down to breakfast as 7, and, as Aurora said, ‘young John was right on hand.” He had an appetite that would have done credit to a man. But John is a favorite of the cooks and could eat enough for seven men as far as she is concerned. That morning the President and Mrs. Coolidge were down about 9, but_since ghen they appear as the spirit moves, any time between 8 and 10. The breakfast menu is simple. It consists of a cereal, “the whole grain which you cook for a long time and which is very -nice, really, with cream.” ‘The quotes are Aurora's. Then there is coffee with cream from one of the cows of the herd belong- ing to the farm. And, of course, the doughruts. Preaideat Likes Bacom. But the President “ain't much of a milk drinker,” Aurora says. “H likes fruit once in a while, but o little piece of crisp bacon seems to be his preference for breakfast” It really took eonsiderable questioning to get Aurora to tell what the Presi- dent likes and doesn't like. The noon meal, which is called dinner, is the principal one of the day. This eon- sists of meat, potatoes, & vegetable— whatever is growing best in the gar- den—seme sort of hot bread or muf- fins, and always a gravy. Pie is the usual dessert, but pudding is served once in a while. The evening meal is at 6. This is called supper. When she and the colonel are home it consists of some light dish, but now it's different. What the meal consists of depends entirely upon what was served at dianez, and between meals the Pras- ident and John snatch a bit wherever they can get it. And they both get it themselves—usually & malted milk or a doughzut or All of the recipes put up by Aurora are old tamily faverites.

There was a bitter fight wn Gov. Mabey under the leadership of Wil- liam H.

Leatherwood, from the second, were both renominated by the Re- publicans. r Democrats will meet in convention in Salt Lake Tuesday and Wednes: day of next week, with the congres sjonal sessions Tuesday and the se- lection of a State ticket Wednesday. The two active contenders for nom- ination for governor on the Demo- cratic ticket are George H. Dern and C. Clarence Neslen, both of Salt Lake. A close fight is expected. Dern has a lead in Salt Lake, although Neslen is mayor here, but Neslen is expected to bring in strong support from the distant counties of the State. Dan B. Shields is a third candidate for tbe nomination, but he does not claim any considerable strength, expecting to profit only in case neither of the other two win in the early balloting. The campaign is fairly started in Utah now and indications are that it will be fought out in a continuous battle from now until election day. FRANK P. STEWART. LABOR FUNDS KEEP THIRD PARTY GOING Little Cash Expected From General Public for Several Weeks, Conferen~~ Yaars. The problem of i La Follette-Wheeler cam; rticu- larly during the next few wecks, was discussed here yesterday at a lengthy conference, in which both Senator La Follette and his running mate. Sena- tor Wheeler of Montana. participated. Others who attended are members of the committee which is in charge ot campaign operation Reporting on the progress in per- fecting an _organization to solicit campaign funds from the general public, Attorney General Ekern of Wisconsin, who is directing the work, told the candidates and the commit- tee members that little cash trom this source could be expected for several weeks. Mr. Ekern explained that while satisfactory headway was being made, the task of effecting a wide-spread organization was tremendous and it would be some days before sub- stantial results could be obtained. He said funds to tinance the early stages of the campaign would have to come mainly from other sources. Labor Aiding Cuuse. William H. Johnston, president of the International Assoctation ot Machinists. who is canvassing mem- bers of labor organizations for con- tributions, informed the committee that donations were being received in increasing amounts. He said he was not confronted with the same organization problem facing M. Ekern, and expressed contidence that enough money would be coming into his treasury to keep the campaign moving forward along lines worked out by Semators La Follette and Wheeler and their advisers. The campaign committee held two sessions yesterday with Mr. La ¥ol- lette in attendance at the morning meeting and the vice presidential candidate present at the aftermoon conference. Present also was John M. Nelson, national campaign man- ager, who has headquarters in Chicago. The committee continued its study of the financing problem and other campaign questions at a meeting last night. and it was planned to hold a session again today. LA FOLLETTE ON AIR IN LABOR DAY SPEECH By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 23.—Senator La Follette's Labor day address will be broadcast on the radio for this section at 4:30 p.m. daylight saving time from station WEAF, according to an anmouncement from La Follette headquarters here today. The presi- dential candidate will deliver his speech at the WCAP station in Wash- ington. Arrangements are being made by David K. Niles, national chairman of the speakers' bureau of the Progres- sive party, to have the address sent out from radio stations in' various parts of the country in order to give it nationwide distribution. Loud speakers are to be installed by local labor organizatiolns to enable their members to hear the message. Confirmation of the completion of arrangements for Senator La Follette to deliver his Labor day address from, the C! e and Potomac Tele- phone Company’s high-powered broad- casting station here—WCAP—was ob- tained in Washington last night. T address will be delivered at 3: o'clock standard time, the hour given in New York being later due to that city's local time change.

There are 55 counties, many points are isolated and in the event of close contests, a week may elapse before the result is known. Be it said beforehand that the ¥esult will not indicate with any de- &ree of accuracy the attitude of the ehctorate on the presidential cam- palgn, because the State is torn with bitter factional battles and voters will invade parties in the primary, with whom they have no intention of affiliaing themselves in November.

Likewise, United States Senator T. J. Walsh fr without opposition for nomination o succeed himself. The real battle af the primary is in the Republican party and many thou- sands of Denwerats and of La Fol- lette-Wheeler men will vote Repub- lican on August 26. The Republican contest for Unitel States Senator lies between Wellington D. Rankin of Helena, brother of the first Congress- woman, and now attorney general, and Frank Lindertan of Kalispell, author.of Indian stowies. The latter's nomination over Ramkin seems preb able. Rankin is an advanced Pro~ gressive: Linderman a-conservative off the Coolidge stripe. If Linderman is nomfnated, Senaton Walsh will have a battle on his hands, for. various reasons not to be briefly tabulated here. For Congress, Jo Scott Leavitt, incumbent, in_the east< tern district, faces Robert Yellowtait of Hardin, a Crow Indian. Levitt will win. Likewise. Congressmar John AL, Evans, in the western district, prebe ably will ‘be renominated, akthough he faces a strong field. The other congressional races if the primary are without interest. Fight for Gevermor. The real fight will be over Gov. Joseph M. Dixon, former Senator and incumbent, seeking renomination. His only opponent is Lee Dennis, now rail- way commissioner. The race may be close, as all the anti-Dixon forces will concentrate on Dennis. The primary will have no bearing on national affairs, beyond the sena- torial and congressional nominations. The Republican national administra- tion has taken no part in the struggle and as Senator Walsh is unopposed, the national Democratic forces have held oft. LOUIS M.

BOISE, Idaho, August 23.—A clean sweep in Idaho for Coalidge, Borah and the State Republican administra- tion scems asgured this week, as county conventions have given un- | usual demonstrations of harmony in the Repuplican ranks, and Repub- licans generally are looking toward the ides of November with real optimism. A statement by Borah that the direct primary would not be raised as an issue in this campaign in Idaho was the big step toward harmony and although it is rumored that the Klan will knife the senior Senator, this opposition will not materially cut down his vote. Borah's remarks critising_the Federal Reserve Bank and his hope for lower Federal taxes through oppesition to the growing bureaucracy at the National Capital, strikes a’ responsive chord in Idaho and together with a Republican ad- ministration that has reduced State taxes 23 per cent in three years there is formed a decidedly effective Re- publican battle front With the holding of State nomina- tion conventions by all parties next Tuesday the 1924 campaign will be on with a boom.
