Anderson, THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, 29 D. C. JANUARY 1928 - PART 1. ARKANSAS DEMOCRATS ARE STRADDLING FENCE Shadow of Smith Cast Over Whole State—Party Leaders Slow to Take Definite Stand. Spocial Dispateh to The Star. LITTLE ROCK, Ark.. January 21.— Although the Democratic national con- vention now is but five months in the future, and although a neighbor State will have the doubtful honor of enter- taining it, & peculiar apathy is notice- able among Democratic leaders, usually s0 exuberant over national issues, which leads to the conclusion that they arc not entirely decided what step to take, and fearful that whatever step thoy take may prove to be the wrong one. This hesitancy seems to have been caused by the towering shadow of Al- fred E. Smith, whose affiliations are not in accord with ancient sentiment in a State that adopted a bonesdry law long before the eighteenth amendment. and which is about 90 per cent Protestant at a rough guess. To the rank and file the problem i+ not intensified. because the rank and | file can vote for Hoover and snap its fingers at the ironclad primary oath which forees faithfulness to the party but obviously the Democratic leaders have no such freedom of action. Most of them are officeholders or candidate: for officé, or hope to be, and thev can- not afford to be smirched with Repub- licanism. The very rule made to safe guard white supremacy may cause Democratic leaders to support Alfred E | Smith, even if doing so should cause them to make a wry face. |PROGRESSIVES NAME 'NORRIS AS CANDIDATE Senator Indorsed at Meeting of Wisconsin La Follette Faction.

Rak., January 21. —South Dakota rapidly is being or- ganized for Al Smith as the Democratic candidate for President, according to J. C. Stoner, secretary of the South Dakota Smith-for-President group. Little real opposition is being met by the Smith forces, Sccretary Stoner stated, and much of such opposition as has manifested itself is due to a mis- | understanding of Gov. Smith in con- | nection with the Tammany Hall and liquor issues, according to Mr. Stoner. A drive now is being made in such counties of South Dakota as had not dent.

Special Dispatch to The Star. RALEIGH, N. C., January 21.—North Carolina Democrats have acquiesced in the selection of Houston as the scene of the national convention, but with a distinct lack of enthusiasm. Similarly, the announcement, that Senator James A. Reed of Missourl will speak in Raleigh in March has aroused mild in- | terest. But one event of the week has aroused widespread comment which ma, be | flected in campaigns preceding the June | primary. | D. Langston of Goldsboro, who Thurs- day resigned his post as chairman of | the State Board of Elections in order to {run for lleutenant governor, is scen a | strong possibility of the presidential sit- | uation being injccted into what will be | the principal contest for a State office, |as the nomination without opposition of O.

However, the third man in the race, W. H. 8. Burgwyn of Woodland, who has served in both branches of the | General Assembly for several terms, is being claimed by the Smith following in this State. Senator Reed is booked to address a convention of the North Carolina or- ganization of the Daughters of the American Revolution and will probably draw a large crowd, but this State has not forgotten its love for Woodrow Wilson, and the strength of the element of the party that has not forgiven the Missourian for his stand on the League of Nations is regarded as sufilcient to | prevent any serious consideration being ‘Rlvcn to Reed as President outside of |and consideration of the wet and dry | ssue. The indorsement by Josephus Dan- | fels, editor of the News and Observer iand Secretary of the Navy in Wilson's | cabinet, of Claude G.
