February 25— Pennsylvania Republican chieftains, burdened with a mass of embarrassing details in efforts to smooth rough spots in the State campaign, have been too intent upon obtaining a united and un- instructed Pennsylvania delegation to the Kansas City convention to give much attention to whom the delegation may support for presidential nomina- tion in the convention. ‘The extent of the Herbert Hoover sentiment in the State 1s unquestioned.

Special Dispateh to The Star. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn,, February 25. —The forces of Frank O. Lowden and Herbert Hoover are challenging each other openly in this city, and the con- test between them is warming up in other parts of the State. E. W. Backus, prominent Minncapolis lumberman and paper manufacturer, came out this week in a public state- ment for Lowden and began personally to campaign among Minneapolis busi= ness men for Lowden support. He based |his appeal on the ground that the farmers need relief legislation and that business ' men should stand with them for the candidate representing the farm relief movement. Statement Challenged. The Backus statement was met im- mediately by Ivan Bowen, State Hoover manager, with a statement asserting that Mr. Backus' interest lies in his plans for damming the boundary waters between Minnesota and Canada to de- velop water power, and that he is op- posed to Hoover because of the Secre- tary’s stand for conservation. Quickly on the heels of these mani- festos came one from the Izaak Walton |League. through O. L. Koupanger. | State secretary-treasurer. This league | and other organizations of sportsmen | have been campaigning actively against | ’|h9 Backus waterpower proposa | the ground that the dams would the game fish and the scenic |the boundary lakes. now a pars canoeists. The Walton League some time ago urged its members to take part in the coming caucuses and ser {that only friends of conservation were | clected as delegates The Koupanger statement declared | that the fight now is in the open, and ! the time for “pussyfooting” had passed. | Mr. Koupanger asserted that Mr, | Backus' interest in Lowden is due to | his desire to control the Minnesota | | delegation and use it to further his| boundary waters plan { It happens that State Senator Wil- | liam F. Brooks, Republican national | committeeman, is a business partner | of Mr. Backus. Mr. Brooks had previ- ously declared his neutrality on presi- | dential candidates. He lost no time | {in repeating it. but the Hoover men ty of | se for | | Austin _group. | still secuse hi 1 of leaning to Lowden. { There had heen no prospect of a fight on Mr. Brooks' re-election. Now it ap- pears that the conservation group may start such a fight. The Lowden committee sent a staff of reporters out to interview Minne- apolis business men on the Backus statement. 'The result, according to Chairman Claude H. MacKenzie, was “disappointing,” as most of the men interviewed ~declined to express an opinion, and the majority of those who did were found to be anti-Lowden. A branch Lowden headquarters has been established in Minneapolis, how- ever, and a fight will be made for Lowden delegates. Woman supporters of Mr. Hoover have formed a volunteer committee with a scparate headquarters, which will enlist the activities of women in Min- neapolis and other cities for Hoover. Considerable Hoover sentiment ap- peared among Republican editors at the time of the State editorial meeting here a few days ago, and the great ma- jority expressed opposition to instructed delegates. Tt was held likely that Hoover delegates would be clected from the first and sixth districts, as well as from the fourth and eighth, and that Hoover might split one or two other districts. Shift in District. Since the editorial meeting, however, there has been a shift in the sixth district, which indicates that the dis- trict may be for Lowden, uninstructed. At a meeting of the district committee in Brainerd the sentiment was strong for Hoover, but the southern part of the district is just as strong for Low- ' den, and Lowden men are morc aggressive. ‘While Democratic sentiment appears to be overwhelming for Al Smith, an effort is being made by Senator Reed to break into the State. John A. McDermott, formerly a prominent Minnesota Democrat, but now of New Orleans, is here working for Reed, after spending two weeks in Wisconsin and getting a Reed petition started there. It is settled now that there will b(‘} only one Democratic State convention. The Cashman faction, called to mcet and issue a separate convention call. decided to avoid complications and ratify the call already issued by the! The State conven'ion therefore will meet, as provided in the Austin call, March 15 at the Minne- !apolis Municipal Auditorium, and then | | will elect the 24 Minnesota delegates. Each faction still claims to be the legal State committee, but the issue be- tween them now is academic, as a new committee will be named by the party nominees after the June primaries. Smith sentiment predominated in both groups, and the division was entirely on old factional lines. CHARLES B. CHENEY. Col: Sc-hulz Transferred. Col. Edward H.

Special Dispateh to The Star. CHICAGO, February 25.—Frank O. Lowden, “favorite son” of Illinols and second only to Secretary Hoover na- tionally in the Republican preconven- tion campaign favoritism so far, ap- pears certain now to be on the way to controlling & majority of the Illinois delegation of 61 votes at Kansas City. The petition filing for presidential preference, State and county offices, has closed. Lowden’s name, like Abou Ben Adhem’s, leads all the rest, and there are no others. ‘With the exception of Cook County. | the Republican delegate slates are Lowden unopposed, and there is a Lowden slate in the 10 metropolitan districts to combat that put into the 1 by Willlam Hale Thompson. Lowden Claims Strength. ‘The State has 25 congressional dis- tricts, each to elect two delegates and alternates. Following the April 10 primary, the State convention of these elected delegates will be charged «with choosing 11 delegates at large. Omer N. Custer, State manager for Lowden, says Lowden will carry all of the 15 downstate districts, plus at least 2 of the metropolitan 10. That victory, he insists, will guarantee 11 Lowden delegates at large. ‘Thompson does not regard himself as | a presidential nomination candidate. He was boomed a few months ago by some of the lieutenants of his domi- nant Cook County faction, but Thomp- son is not now taking it seriously. Enmity .between Lowden and Thompson dates back to war days when Lowden as governor sent State troops to pre- vent a war protest meeting that Socialist Milwaukee had barred and for which Thompson, then, as now, mayof | of Chicago, gave a permit. Peace Seen Distant. ‘There is little likelihood of any open | {compacts of peace between Thompson | and Lowden. The Lowden Cook Coun- ty forces do not want peace, saving that Thompson's opposition to Lowden is worth more outside of Cook County | than his support. Such delegates as Thompson may elect in Cook County. ! 6, 1928—PART 1. business will depend largely upon which direction the band wagon fs going. Because Lowden has no opposition in the presidential preference primary— the Iilinois primary result does not bind the elected delegates—real inter- est of the politiclans is centered jupon the State campaigns. George E. Brennan, Democratic na- tional committeeman, of Chicago and Thomas F. Donovan of Joliet, Demo- cratic State chairman, have filed a strong State and Cook County ticket and have no opposition. Also their delegate slate is all for Alfred E. Smith for presidential preference, again with- out opposition. Seeks Smith Seat. Anton J. Carmack, president of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, who had started originally for the gov- ernor nomination, is the Democratic candldate for United States Senator for the Frank L. Smith seat. Justice Floyd E. Thompson of the State Supreme Court is the Democratic candidate for governor. In the Republican column there are | two tickets for the primary, one slated by Thompson and Gov. Len Small, the other by United States Senator Deneen. Deneen brought about peace among the anti-Small and anti-Thompson fac- tions when he persuaded Attorney Gen- eral Oscar Carlstrom to back down in his attempt for gubernatorial nomina- tion in favor of Secretary of State L.L. Emmerson. Carlstrom will run for re- nomination to his present office. Frank L. Smith, resigning after be- ing tossed out of the Senate a second time and immediately entering for re- nomination and re-election, is on the Thompson-Small slate. He is opposed by Otis F. Glenn, a good campaigner, but not particularly well known over the State. Omer N. Custer, former State treasurer, is a candidate for that office on the Deneen slate and the present State auditor, Oscar F. Nelson, is a candidate for re-clection. Both are Lowden adherents. ‘The idea that Small's tie-up with ‘Thompson might mean Small opposi- tion to Lowden downstate faded when | Small failed to file an anti-Lowden del- egate slate. PAUL R.

IN VIRGINIA Themselves—Anti-Smith Forces Active. Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., February 25.—Vir- ginia Republicans have held many city and county meetings this week for the purpose of electing delegates to the Republican State convention, which will meet in Roanoke March 17. It is sig- nificant that these local conventions | have been silent on the question of | thelr preferencc as to the party’s presi- | dential nominee. This reflects the atti- tude of the party leaders in the State, who, being in the main office holders, do not wish to commit themselves to any candidate at this stage of the | game, ‘That the Republicans plan an ag- gressive congressional campaign in Vir- ginia this year is indicated by the fact that the second congressional district conwention of the party, held at Nor- folk Wednesday nominated as the Re- publican candidate for Congress Menal- cus Lankford, who is recognized as thelr strongest man in the seaside section of the State. Mr. Lankford has already made several races for Congress and although defeated each time has shown a growing strength in a district which has not sent a Republican to Congress in_decades. Democrats in convention assembled at Bristol Tuesday nominated W. H. Rouse as the party’s candidate for Con- gress in the ninth district, which is the political battleground of Virginia. With the exception of the last three elections in which George C. Peery, Democrat, was elected to Congress, the ninth for jthe last quarter of a century has sent | Republicans to Congress. There is con- siderable talk to the effect that Repub- |licans of the district may nominate C. Bascom Slemp, former Representative in Congress, as their candidate to op- pose Mr. Rouse. While Republicans of the State are {still_engaged in “watchful waiting” much “‘undercover” work is being done by the Democrats, both of the Smith and anti-Smith factions. The anti- Smith men are without a candidate, but are doing all they can to break the morale of the supporters of the New York executive. Dire threats of punish- ment are being made to political lead- ers if they espouse the cause of Gov. Smith, and these are having such an effect that the politiclans are keeping very quiet. Nearly ell of them are in hopes that Smith will be nominated and they wish that they could see their way clear to openly champion his cause.

Special Dispateh to The Star. MADISON, Wis., February 25.—De- termined to defeat a majority of the La Follette Progressive candidates for delegates to the Republican national convention, prominent leaders in_the conservative Republican ranks in Wis- consin are holding regional rallies throughout the State (o perfect an active working organization in every community for an intensive delegate campaign. ‘The most important of the con- servative rallies was held at Madison during the past week. About 150 eon- servative Republicans from the third and seventh congressional districts, and also from other sections of the State, attended. Situation Is Changed. Because of the death of the elder La Follette since the last presidential election, the situation in the Repub- lican party in Wisconsin is somewhat different than during past presidential campalgns. This is the first time in 20 years that the Progressives are sup- porting a presidential candidate from outside the State in the presidential primary, and the conservatives there- fore feel that they have a much better chance to win than before. While the conservatives are mnot united on one presidential candidate, some of them favoring ex-Gov. Lowden of Illinois and others supporting Sec- retary of Commerce Hoover, they are nllusuppomnz the same slate of dele- gates. Separate Lowden and Hoover dele- gate candidates were not selected be. cause the conservatives felt that their only chance to win would be to on a slate of uninstructed delegates, pledged to support the principles of the Coolidge administration.

Jackson, national committeeman, was not enlisted in the Hoover movement because he had declined to state a presidential preference. As the news- papers printed the statement the in- formation was conveyed to the public that the Broening-Marchant faction was standing shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Weller in his efforts to oust Mr. Jackson from the national committee. Of course, the implication was plain that Mr. Jackson was standing alone. The Weller-Tait forces were quick to see the opportunity afforded them.
