What Senator Cole Blease will do in | the event of the nomination of Gov | Smith at the Houston convention is ihe | subject of some speculation here. If the Senator should undertake to lead the cause in this State for an inde- pendent dry Democrat for the presi- dency, it is aamitted that he would go | far with it. He has a strong foliow- | ing among the Democrats ot the State |wmch would go wherever he led. His recent speech n the Senate, when he suggested the nomination of Senator Borah of Idaho, a progressive Republi- can. for President on the Democratic ticket. and Senator Overman of North | Carolina for Vice President, has puzzied | some of the Democrats. Some of them see in it a threat to 1 with the party’s national ticket should the nomi- nee be Smith . The Ku Klux Klan has strength in the State. It is expected to become more and more active in its opposition to Smith as the pre-convention con- tinues. and even after the nomination is made. if Smith be the nomince. At present the national political situation i€ being discussed comparatively little | the Legislature is still in session. and until it adjourns a few weeks hence. { the national political situation is likely |to be in the background. The State | holds no_election for governor or for | United States Senator this year, and for few local offices. The members of | the House are to be elected and the vote cast for President and Vice Presi- dent. Smith Has Some Support. Despite the general op; Smith: there are Democrats in State who favor him. Some of them see in the New Yorker the only man who has any chance whatever to win the presidency this year. Some of them resent strongly the attacks which have been made upon him because he is a member of the Catholic Church. be- lieving that religion should not be mixed up in politics. They point to the fact that his career as Governor of New York has shown that he does nat mix his religion with his administration of public office. At least two news- papers of influence and standing in the State are inclined to support Smith, the Charleston News and Courier and the Columbia Record. But generally speaking the press of the State is inst him. i ‘What the Republicans of South Car- olina will do is largely on the lap of the | { gods and Mr. Tolbert. and will be de- termined in great measure by what is heard from Washington. Should the administration forces make it clear | that Secretary Hoover is to be the man, | the South Carolina delegation is likely to be found “on the reservation” when the national convention meets in June. The announced Republicans among the white population. few and far between, have been friendly to former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. Mr. Lowden has spoken in the State a number of { times particularly in regard to the farm problem, and has made friends here. He is regarded as more of an organization man, for example, than Mr. Hoover. Supported Lowden in 19 The South Carolina delegation in 1920 supported Mr. Lowden until the ! break came to Harding. Some of the | delegates to the convention in 1924 would have liked to support him for | President then also, but President | Coolidge was the only man in the running. ‘Some of the South Carolinans | | take pride in the fact that they were | part of the drive to make Mr. Lowden | the Vice Presidential nominee and re- | gretted that he declined. They would | like to support the former Illinois gov- | ernor far President again this year Indeed it is commonly reported that National Committeeman Tolbert de- | clared himself a coupe of months ago | for Mr. Lowden, but that since then | he has drawn in his horns and is talk- ing of an uninstructed delegation. The | Republicans are to stage a convention here during the coming week and at | that time there may be further deve- lopments In recent weeks Mr. Tolbert has been istirring about the State taking care of his fences. He wants a convention that will be amenable to his dictation and he wants a delegation to the na- tional eonvention which he can con- | trol Most of the Republican voters in the State are negroes | Most of the presidential electors put up by the Republicans have been and will be negroes. and many of the del gates to the national convention w be negroes.

WASHINGTON, GEORGIA'S GOVERNOR UPSETS PARTY PLANS| Wants Houston Delegates Named at State Convention Instead of by Committee. Special Dispateh to The Star., ATLANTA, Ga. February 4—Demo-| cratic politics took an interesting turn in Georgin this afternoon when Gov. | L. G. Hardman made the uncxpected announcement that he favors a State convention for the election of delegates to the national Democratic convention at Houston. There scems to be little doubt that the governor’s preference will be followed out. and that plans for appointment of the delegates by the | State Democratic committee will be | abandoned, i This new twist in affairs will have no effect on the State's indorsement of Senator Walter F. George as the Demo- | cratic nominee for President. Monday is the last day on which candidates Wwho desire to oppose George can enter and it is virtually certain that no name other than that of the Georgia Senator will be presented to the convention But it may have a marked effect in de- ciding Georgia's second choice for the nomination in case George is elimi- nated. An appointed delegation. it is pointed out. would be under the control of a few political leaders who might Swing the vote to suit personal interests. | A delegation named by a State conven- | tion, on the other hand. would be more likely to_express the popular feeling mong Georgia Democrats. A Gargman cvidently had this \dea in mind today when in his state- ment he said, “There will be no let-up on my part to see that the entire Siatc is free of designing politicians, who would wreck the State for their own s.ifish purposes.” State conven- fion will also decide whether the dele- gation is to be bound by the unit rule and mav ndicate under what circum- Stances a switch might be made to a candidate other than George. The weck has brought no develop- ments in Republican ranks here. and although counties are already electing | deleaates to the State Republican con- vention to be held March 4 there seems | 1o b as vet no decided preference for the presidential nominee. Fulton Coun- ty (Atlanta) Republicans went on rec- ord today as favoring the drafting ol Coolidge for another term and named Honver as their second choice Columbia, has made an appeal to col- ored voters to support him for delegate at large. In his appeal he makes the charge that in_the past the votes of the delegation have been “sold” to the highest bidder. He said in part in a circular letter “Negroes the country over are de- | termined to get a better break from the Republican party. and South Carolina should have its best and strongest men at Kansas City in June to join with the other negro delegates in demanding fair play in the race No me-t0o negro will do. but men of courage. conviction and independence." There is some resentment that Tolbert should have both the office of national committeeman and State chairman. but who is the oldest member in point of service on the Republican national committee still controls | In the last presidential election, 49,- 000 votes were cast for the Democratic candidate, Davis: 620 for La Follette | and 1,123 for President Coolidge. This merely indicates the lack of strength of the Republicans. In a State primary, | the Democrats will cast upward of | 200,000 votes. But the primary settles | the election and their candidates are unopposed in the general election which * follows. Any talk of the State’s going Republican. even if Smith be the Demo- cratic nominee for President, under these circumstances, seems little short of pre- posterous. And unless the dry Demo- ' crats should bolt the national conven- tion and put an Independent ticket in the field, the State seems sure to go for Smith if he be nominated. Up to date there Las been indication of such a bolt Well informed Democrats say there will be no bolt.
