/, MARCH 18, LOWDEN MARYLAND DRIVE HITS SNAG Minoisan’s Entrance Into Primary Election Is Held Doubtful. Special Dispatch to The Star BALTIMORE, Md. March 17—In the first week of really brisk politics that Marviand has experienced this | yrar, the presidential boom of former | Gov. Frank O. Lowden apparently has collapsed. It is very doubtful now that | the Illinoisan will enter the primary | election in Maryland, and if he does, | it is predicted, he will face heavy going. In nddition to the Republican presi- dential situation clarifying itself, Re- publicans of the State apparently have been able to decide on a senatorial can- didate without a primary. Philips Lee Goldsborough, former governor, filed | his candidacy for the Senate and the | leading factions have pledged him their tive chair is the belief most cur- rent in Montana political circles, de- | spite Dixon's statement that he is not & candidate for any office. As the primaries will not be held until June, . Dixon has plenty of time to npke his mind. Allled with him politically in the coming battle, rumor has it, will be William A. Clark, the second, son .of the late United States Senator Clark. The father was a Democrat but the son is a Republican, it is stated. It is said he will come out for Senator when Dixon comes out for governor. Sen- ator Wheeler, Democrat, whose seat falls vacant. is an avowed candidate for re-election. Dixon and Clark, i a new political alliance, seek control of the Republican State organization. Clark owns the Butte Miner, one of the strong dailies of the State, which here- tofore has been Democratic but which now classes itself as “independent.” The Hoover men continue to make hay while the sun shines, with little if any opposition. The county conventions are to be held May 8 and the State convention May 15, and as things stand it is all for Hoover. The showing of Senator Walsh in the recent South Dakota convention has greatly eclated his friends in Montana, who think it presages victary in California and per- haps in Wisconsin. With no prepara- tion and scant notice, the Walsh faction nearly snatched the South Dakota in- dorsement from the Smith men, who had a strong organization and had long support. | John Philip Hill, nationally kna\\'l\1 for his wet activities, also announced ; that he would file his candidacy for | Republican nomination from the third | congressional district. S. Scott Beck | also announced his candidacy, making | the third Democrat who has declared | his intention of representing the first | or Eastern Shore district in Congress. | No Finances Offered. | ‘The principal causes for the coliapse | of the Lowden boom are cited as The statement of Clarence F. Buck Lowden's campaign manasg that the | former governor is not “putting out” this vear and that if he i3 entered in| the primary fight, the campaign must | be financed from within the State. | Pailure of the Lowden enthusiasts to | attract any of the big State leaders | into their fold, including Mayor Willias P. Broening- of Baltimore and William | P. Jackson, naticnal committeeman. The two causes interlock to some ex- tent. If the Lowden workers had.cap- tured Mr. Jackson, they would be in a position to lar & basis for financing their campaign. As the situation stands today all the h v Republigan con- | tributors of Maryland are lined up be- hind Herbert Hoover or else have taken & hands-off attitude Probabiy the pariy’s rhost generous | “angel” in the State, when he is suffi~ ciently interested, is W. Bladen Lowndes, husband of the national committee- woman from Maryland. Mr. Lowndes, as well as hi: e. has announced in favor of the nomination of the Com- merce Secretary. So have virtus all the wealthy Republicans of Baltimore. Few Boom Lowden. To date the only leaders of any im- portance who have been talking Lowden are Thomas Parran, who usually runs | things down in Southern Maryland Republicanism: Reno S. Harp, who is a mincrity faction leader in Frederick County, and George W. Cameron. mem- ber of the Baltimore Park Board, who controls one ward in Baltimore. Prom the beginning, it is understood, the Lowden board of stfategy realized that this was weak support and insuffi- cient to arouse hopes. But the strate- gists used this group as a nucleus with the hope of attracting to their side Mr. | Jackson or Mayor Broening, or both, | who have remained aloof from the | Hoover candidacy. { For a time the situation caused by | their silence seemed to hold possibilities | which might be favorable to the cause of linois’ war governor. But during the last week it beeame clear beyond | deubt that neither Mayor Broening | nor Mr. Jackson would espouse the | Lowden cause or do anything else that would embarrass Roland R. Marchant. ity der. who launched the Hoover boom in Maryland. Understanding Seen. | In the first place, Mr. Marchant and : the mayor never have been closer polit- | ically than they are at this time and it | 15 inconceivable that Mr. i ~would take the steps he Has unless he | had an understanding with the mavor.

THAYER. HOOVER'S TARIFF VIEWS EXPLAINED | | | New England Need Not Fear Sec- | retary's Election, Hinshaw Tells Rhode Islanders. Special Dispateh to The Star | PROVIDENCE, R. I, March 17.—"If Hoover can carry Ohio, he will be David Hinshaw, close friend of the Secretarv of Commerce, at a meeting here of the Hoover-for-President Club, at which United States Senator J. Met- calf from this State quoted from state- ts by the presidential aspirant to that New England had no need tariff, in reviewing the situation for Hoover throughout the country. Indiana still is uncertain, according But Hoover supporters are beginning to feel optimistic over condi- tions there. A most peculiar situation arises in Vermont, aocording to Mr. Hinshaw, for the Secretary has forbidden his campaign workers to approach that and the State is being left to itself. The | reason is that Hoover feels that a cam- paign there might embarrass him, as seeking payment of a debt of gratitude for his work during the disaster. The | “discriminating” Republicans of the country will select Hoover as the G. O. P. standard bearer, Mr. Hinshaw predicted. | When the Hoover movement was started in this Stae, it was found there was some sentiment against him be- cause his views on the tariff were little known. Senator Metcalf concentrated upon this phase of the situation and quoted remarks made by Hoover as far back as 1926 to show that there was no need for New England textile men and other manufacturers whose very existence depends upon the strength of the tarfl wall to fear election of the Secretary of Commerce. JAMES S. HART. MORROW IS BOOMED BY WEST VIRGINIANS Predicts Ambassador Be Republican Nominee. Publisher will CHARLESTON, W. Va., March 17.— The uncertainty among West Virginia Republicans, noted by Republican State Chairman John T. Graham in a recent statement would not be present to much of an extent were President Coolidge a candidate for renomination. Even with the President not choosing to run, straw votes by State newspapers now in progress disclose a preponder- ance of sentiment for him. The first tabulation 6f a newspaper poll in Jackson County, a Republican stronghold. votes. Watson received 43 votes, Lowden 21, Longworth 1, Willis 1.

The Wheeling Register (Democratic) has n feeling out Republican senti ment locally and declares Dawes to be the outstanding choice of the Wheeiing district, with Hoover second in popu- arity. In the past week a report that Sen- ator Watson might enter the West Vir- ginia primary was denled from an authoritative source, and the report of a rimilar intention by former Gov. Lowden received corroboration from his campaign manager, Clarence F, Buck A new note was sounded this week by Dave Gideon, owner of the Huntington Herald-Dispatch and prominent in Re- publican councils, who upon his return from Washington and the East, pre- dicted that Dwight W.
