Tyson, can- didate for United States Senator, and Harvey H. Hannah, candidate for railroad commissioner, will speak on October 6, the former in west Ten- nessee, and the latter at Smithville, During the past week the La Fol- lette-Wheeler electoral ticket was put in the field by convention here called by a ocmmittee representing the Tennessee Federation of Labor and the railway brotherhoods. The { convention also named a campaign | committee, but took no action regard- ing State candidates. Tennessee went for Harding for President in 1920, the first time since roconstruction days, and the coming of a member of the Cabinet into the State to speak early in the campaign is taken to indicate that the G. O. P. is planning to duplicate the perform- ance of 1920 if possible making a fight for the election of both State and national tickets. John W. Davis is probably the most popular Democrat of national size in public life, from the Tennessee view- point, and his nomination by the New York convention effectually silenced the murmurings here over the course of that memorable body. Coolidge hardly enjoys as wide- spread a popularity in Tennessee as his Democratic opponent, but judg- ing from- what one hears in the street Dawes overshadows Bryan consid- erably as vice presidential material. | spent The La Follette-Wheeler combina- tion so far does not seem to have ex- cited great interest in either of the old party camps. —— e The women of southern India are especially known for their irtelli- gence and thrift. GRATIES DAVS Democratic Nominee’s Day in Capital Round of Feting. Wife Is Praised. John W. Davis, Democracy’s stand- ard bearer, left the National Capital late vesterday afternoon, much pleased with the reception given him here. Although here for only nine hours the Democratic candidate for President covered much ground and received everywhere hearty ovations and a cordial reception. Arriving here at 7:45 in the morn- ing he was welcomed by a number of campaign workers, who patiently waited at Union Station for him while he and his wife breakfasted on the train. Leaving Union Station Mr. Davis made a brief stop at the office of Dr. J. J. Richardson, where he had his throat treated, as a precautionary measure only, for despite the strain necessitated by his long speaking tours, Mr. Davis declared himself to bo in excellent shape Welcomed by Headquarters. He appeared at the headquarters of the Democratic national committee. 15th and K streets, at 10 o'clock and more than two hours there conferring with the organization’'s ders. During that time he in- cted the offices and was given an nthusiastic ovation by the entire personnel and also friends who gath- ered there to meet him. At 12:30 he was presented to the N: tional Press Club. He made a few humorous remarks and declared that he was in “good physical condition and excellent political health.” He greeted personally the various mem- bers of the club and other newspaper men who were present. After luncheon Mr. and Mrs. Davis were given an informal reception at the Ebbitt Hotel by the members of the John W. Davis-for-President Club, headed by Carter B. Keene. As the two entered the doorway, flanked on both sides by a great crowd, lusty cheers rent the air, which increased as an orchestra struck up the tune of “Dixfe.” Confident of Rewult.

Mr. Davis left the Ebbitt to pay a call upon "the widow of a friend, Thomas Grayson Brady, who died Monday last at his home, 1508 Twenty- first street. Upon notification of Mr. Brady's death, Mr. Davis had wired, offering to break his itinerary and come to Washington to accompany the body to Charles Town, W. Va. and act as a pallbearer. This the family urged him not to do, but Miss Emma. Davis, his sistery came from New York to be with the Brady family. Mr. and Mrs. Davis left for Wil- mington on the 4:45 train, where the former addressed a large political meeting last night. -t GIVE FUGITIVE REWARD. Detectives Pay Prisoner After Ar- resting Him.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, September 27.—Local Republicans are excited over a recent meeting in_Orlando, over which, it is stated, W. C. Lawson presided, and at which attempts were made to further the interests of the so-called Lily Whites in the party. The meeting is reported to have adopted a resolution which reads as follows: “We believe that participation by negroes in our political councils, mass meetings or conventions is harmful to the people of both races and should be dicsouraged.” This was supposed to be a part of the platform adopted by the Orange County Republicans, but it was em- phatically declared by the State chair- man of the oentral committee, Daniel T. Gerow, and George W. Bean, na- tional committeeman, that the Or- ange County enthusiasts had no au- thority for such action and that it was all wrong. In an interview pub- lished in the Times-Union, Jackson- ville, Gerow and Bean both denounced the tactics of those who would under- take to interject race prejudices or discrimination into political affairs in Florida. This has been the only ripple on the political waters in the past month or two in Florida. The disturbance is not regarded as serious, and no doubt the. Republican vote will, as usual, be at full strength. In a num- ber of counties great effort will be made to get a member of the legisla- ture—and there is a possibility of such a thing happening. It is also understood that the La Follette ticket has some strength in the State, although there has been very little said on the subject and no public_demonstration. The Democratic majoréty possible is overwhelming and a very strong ef- fort is being made by the State press to bring out the vote. In previous elections the primary has been con- sidered final and many voters have stayed away from the polls election day. GEORGE HOYT SMITH.

This was made known here last night by Galen L. Tait, chairman of the Republican State committee of Maryland. At the same time Chair- man Tait announced Senator George Wharton Pepper of Pennsylvania will speak for the party before the City Club of Baltimore on the after- noon of October 18, and Secretary of State Hughes will address a rally to be held at the Lyric Theater.

CHICAGO, September 27.—Federal ralds continued late today on sacra- mental wine shops believed to be operated by bootleggers Four places were visited, but their locations and the identity of the prisoners taken ‘were not divulged. Government operatives said tonight that they expected soon to have two men, described as leaders in the wine ring, under arrest. These men will be charged, the operatives asserted, with conspiracy to illegally withdraw hundreds of thousands of gallons of wine, with impersonation of rabbis, with forgery of official documents and with attempting to corrupt pro- hibition agents. The prohibition spotlight was turned on the sacramental wine in- dustry when it was learned that such wine sales in Chicago far exceeded those in New York. .

S Special Dispateh to The Star SIOUX FALLS, S. Dak.. September 27.—Many leading South Dakota Re- publicans, since the recent address in Sioux Falls of Charles G. Dawes, Re- publican vice presidential candidate, are asserting that the visit of Gen Dawes and his address clinches South Dakota in the Republican column, and that the estimated Republican plurality of not less than 30.000 at the November election will be swelled many thousands by the address. Republican scouts, who recently have visited different parts of South Dakota to sound political senti- ment among the farmers and others, are quoted as reporting that there is a distinct waning in the strength of La Follette among the rank and file of voters. One of the arguments being used fin some quarters in South Dakota in be- half of the Republican natlonal ticket is to the effect that a great mafority of the man and woman voters of the State desire to have a hand in the naming of the next President, and that they can- not do this by voting for Senator La Follette for President, whose supporters, it is pointed out, do not claim that he will carry over two or three States. An_interesting development in South Dakota Republican circles during recent days was the announcement by Gov. W. H. McMaster, Republican nominee for the United States Senate, that he would support Coolidge and Dawes. For some weeks his position had been in doubt, because of the fact that in the March primary campaign, although he had filed a written acceptance of the Republican State platform, which indorsed the can- didacy of Calvin Coolidge, he later “bolted” the State indorsement of Cool- idge and came out etrongly in support of Senator Hiram Johnson for President, using his personal and political influ ence in carrying the State for Johnson at the March primary election. It is significant that in making his public statement that he would support Coolidge and Dawes, Gov. McMaster went further and sald: “I will eupport President Coolidge and also the congressional and entire State ticket, but will advocate every policy I advocated during the primary last Spring. That he has not changed his mind about joining the farm bloc was indi- cated when he, in his recent public statement, said: g “There are certain things necessary to be done to restore the buying power of the farmer. If it is necessary to join a farm bloc, or anything else, I shall Join.” This has caused many South Dakota Republicans to wonder if he will stand with the Republican national party on important policles which come before the Senate should he in November be elected a member of that body.
