WINANT FOR GOVERNOR. By the Associated Press. MANCHESTER, H. Septem- ber 3.—Capt. John G. Winant, Con- cord financier, was conceded the Re- publican nemination for governor at an early hour today by his chief opponent, Maj. Frank Knox. publisher of the Manchester Union and Leader, when the returns from 247 of the 294 clectoral districts gave Winant a plurality of 2.004. The totals were Winant, 18.696: Knox. 16.612 In the Republican nominations for congressional representation, Fletcher Hale of Laconia leads in the first dis- trict and Representative Edward H. Wason of Nashua in the second Senator Henry W. Keyes of Have hill was renominated without oppos! tion. The Democrats had no con- tests for nomination for governor or for congressional delegates. The contest between Winant and Knox was oné Of the most spirited fights waged in State politics for a number of years. Maj. Knox, in a message of con- Zratulations, declared that “the im- portant thing now is elect the entire Republican ticket” and to “stand behind Calvin Coolidge and the State standard bearers of the party. The only district in which the Ku Klux Klan was considered a factor in the election races, returned the Klan candidate in the nomination of Willlam H. Davis, mayor of Rochester, for sheriff of Strafford County, de- feating, according to the latest re- turns, the present incumbent, Frank E. Goodwin. Davis received the in- dorsement of the Klan in his mayor- alty campaign last Spring. D. C. Rector Sure Davis Will Win; Offers Him Pew Rev. Dr. Thomas W. Cooke, rec- tor of the Church of the Ascension, speaking before the Davis-Bryan Progressive Democratic Club, at the Shoreham Hotel last night, sald he was so sure that Mr. Davis would be elected President that he had already extended an invitation to Mr. and Mrs. Davis to accept a pew in the Church of the Ascen- slon when they come to Washing- ton March 4. It was stated that although Mr. Davis is a Presbyterian, he often attends the Episcopal Church, of which his wife is a member. UTLOOK CHEERING, BUTLER DECLARES Goes Over Political Situation With Coolidge—Finds People Thoughtful. Following a long conference with President Coolidge at the White House vesterday, during which he re- ported on the' progress of the cam- paign. William WM. Butler, chairman of tho Republican national commit- tee. made public a statement on the political situation generally. The campaign is moving along satisfac- torily, and there is every reason for the Republicans to feel encouraged by the most recent developments, ac- cording to his reports and his own observations. He pointed out that the acceptance speech, several weeks ago, by Presi- dent Coolidge has been widely read and has carried conviction to the voters. He said that the President’s doctrine of common sense in govern- ment met with popular approval. Says People Are Thoughtful. “Somehow the voters seem to be Coolidge men by conviction, and the defections are from the Democrats and the third party,” Mr. Butler stated. “The people are in a thought- ful frame of mind, and there scems to be little public appetite for the ordinary run of campaign oratory; they are after the facts and are form- ing their own conclusions. “My confidence in the campaign resulting In the election of President “oolidge has been sustained during the week by careful reading of the carefully written dispatches of news- paper men fin various parts of the country. Unless 1 am mistaken, so far. practically no one of the Jjour- nalists who has been in the field has attempted to predict the dis- covery of a sentiment other than one fa ring the election of Coolidge. “Straw votes taken in various parts of the country, and particularly in the West, uninformly disclose the strength of our ticket and we find Coolidge leading and Davis a poor third in most instances. “Word comes to me today from Cali- fornia that the Republican party in that State is united, which presages a sweeping Coolidge victory in No- vember; Oregon, Utah, 1daho all are reported to me to be safely in line, and Colorado, according to my ad- vices, is more strongly Republican than ever. Inquiry shows that the voters are satisfied with things as they are, they approve the idea of common sense in goverament: they approve our tariff; they indorse the entire policy of President Coolidge as lald down in this acceptance speech. “The Wisconsin situation is grow- ing more satisfactory every day. and Minnestota is in good shape. We re- alize that we are invading the enemy country in going into Wisconsin, but we now have our own organization, and with dissention in the radical party, find our efforts amply repaid.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 3.—John W. Davis, Democratic presidential nomi- nee continued his conferences here toddy with leaders of Illinois and Iowa, begun yesterday shortly after his arrival in Chicago, the first stop on the itinerary of his Western swing. He plans to remain here three days before going to Omaha, where he will deliver an address on agriculture next Saturday. It was announced last night that the nominee would deliver an addrei at Des Molnes on September 17. Previous to his coming to Chicago the nominee had not planned to speak in Iowa. It has not been decided whether he will speak before a day or a night gathering at Des Moines. Will Speak in Missourl Tt was also definitely announced last night that the nominee would swing through Missouri on his way back to Chicago from Denver, Colo., where he is scheduied to speak next week. He will leave Denver Sep- tember 11, after which date, it was said, plans for the trip through Mis- sourl would be announced. On his present visit to Chicago Mr. Davis will not speak, although he is scheduled to speak here on his next visit. Tt was indicated by those in charge of his Western campaign that Kan- sas City and St. Louls would be in- cluded in the Democratic nominee's Midwestern itinerary. Gets Darrow's Support. After a_warm welcome by thou- sands of Chicagoans yesterday upon his arrival, and at the close of several conferences Mr. Davis went into con- ference with Clarence S. Darrow, veteran lawyer. When the celebrated lawyer for the Leopold-Loeb defense emerged from the Davis conference he was beaming. He expressed his purpose to do any- thing he could to be of use to the nominee in his campaign. George E. Brennan and other Illi- nois chiefs thought it a good omen that Darrow should lend his personal support to’the Davis candidacy. SLAIN MAN IDENTIFIED. Former Burlesque Actress Held in Shooting. PHILADELPHIA, September 3.— The body of the man shot and killed yesterday on the porch of the house in West Philadelpha occupied by Mrs. Helen Mayhew, a former bur- lesque actress, and Hazel Benson was identified by the police as that of Raphaeol di Midio of this city. Mrs. Mayhew was held without bail, charged with the shooting. while Miss Benson was held in $500 bail as a material witness. Di Midio was shot, the authorities said, after he and three other men tried to force an entrance into the house. WASHINGTON, D. 0’CONNOR DECLARES HE DIDN'T PAY BILLS Shipping Board Head Says He Had Some Labor Men as Guests at Dinner. T. V. O'Connor, chalrman of the Shipping Board and to whom were Intrusted plans for inviting work- ingmen to President Coolidge's Labor day address at the White House, to- day denied that he paid part of the hotel bills of the Executive Mansion guests. “1 had some of them to dinner with me,” Mr. O'Connor said, “but that is all 1 told the newspaper men. The only thing that I did admit was that they were not labor leaders, as some of the newspapers said.” William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican national committee, told newspaper men yesterday afternoon that he knew nothing of reports to the effect that the national commit- tee defrayed expenses of the group of laboring men. He said that the com- mittee certainly did not intend to finance such gatherings. e DAWES WILLINVADE LA FOLLETTE STATE G. 0. P. Nominee for Vice President to Speak in Mil- waukee September 15. By the Amsociated Press. EVANSTON, IIl, September 3.—An invasion of Wisconsin, the home State of Senator La Follette, Independent candidate for President, will be the undertaking in the speaking cam- paign of Charles G. Dawes. Arrangements for an address at Milwaukee September 15 by the Re- publican vice presidential candidate were made at a conference yesterday at Republican national committee headquarters here, and Mr. Dawes to- day set to work on preparation of his address, which will be on the subject of “The Constitution of the United States.” The itinerary of Mr. Dawes beyond the Milwaukee address was left open at the conference pending the return to Chicago late this week of William M. Butler, Republican national chair- man. The September 15 engagement, however, probably will be followed by speaking trips into Pennsylvania and New York. Another trip which probably will be made by Mr. Dawes during the month, will take him into Minnesota, another State generally ascribed by political leaders of all parties as having leanings toward the independ- ent candidacy of Senators La Follette and Wheeler. Pending before the na- tional committee also is a request for a speaking tour by Mr. Dawes into the border States of Kentucky and Tennessee. —_— It pays to read the want columns of The Star.

By the Associated Press. PORTLAND, Me., September 3.— Rain caught Senator Wheeler's cam- palgn party in northern New Eng- land yesterday and came close to wrecking mass meetings in the in- terest of the third ticket which had been laid out in Maine Slipping and sliding in an automobile over wet roads, from his old home town of Hud- son, Mass., where he spent part of the day, the vice presidential nominee 8ot to Portland after 9 p.m. Before a city hall gathering he took up the Ku Klux Klan issue. He emphasized the fact that Gen. Dawes, Republican nominee, had preceded him in the same State, and dealt with the same topic. “It was heralded widely that Dawes would come out on the Ku Klux issue up here,” said Senator Wheeler. “The people had always known how Pro- gressives regarded the subject. Stand of Progremsives. obody can bLe in ignorance of how Robert La Follette stands on it. Yet I don't believe any man who heard Gen. Dawes talk or read what he said, can decide for himself whether Gen. Dawes is for or against the Klan. John W. Davis, the Democratic presidential nomince, declared him- self after some hesitation, but the country is still waiting for President Coolidge to abandon his silence on the subject” . Outside of his Klan discussion, Senator Wheeler repeated what he has said before his other New Eng- land audiences, that the sole issue in the campaign was that of “returning the Government to the people.” Again he held up the Republican and Democratic partie organiza- tions “dominated by Wall street and no longer representative of the real political or economic _divisions in political thinking.” The hali in which he spoke seats 3,000 persons, but the crowd that came out in the pouring rain and resisted.in part the temptation to leave before the speak- er arrived, was far from filling it For Wednesday the . campaign scheduled another automobile trip, back to the south with a night ad- dress at Manchester, N.

September 3.— The status of the five Republican presidential electors in North Dakota and the question of whether to place a State ticket In the field to oppose the Republican candidates nominated with Non-partisan League backing, occupied the attention of the Repub- lican and Democratic State central committees here today.
