They are already holding public | | | | meetings in various parts of the State | i {and are pouring out fiery invective | } 3 | against the candidacy of Al Smith.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., September 28.— While Missouri may give a :majority next November for Gov. Alfred E. Smith as a result of the defection among the “wet” Republicans of St. Louis, the Democrats are becoming fearful they may lose many district and county offi- cers because of anti-Smith sentiment in rural Missouri. The chief Democratic sufferers may be among Representatives in_Congress.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 28.—National issues will be largely obscured in Ohio until after the primary elections to select party candidates for State, dis- trict and county offices are over Pri- mary election day is two weeks from next Tuesday—August 14—and a bit- terly fought campaign for the two senatorial nominations, for governor and several other State offices will reach its climax in the coming two weeks. As usual the Republicans are staging by far the more vigorous contest for the nomination for governor, with three outstanding candidates for the honor, but the fight is in no way connected with the recent presidential primary campaign. The differences in the party | in that campaign seem to have been entirely forgotten. Now it is prohibition and the control of public utilities. Attorney General | Turner would be acceptable to the wet interests generally but for the fact that | he is making opposition to the Spence law a chief feature of his fight for the nomination, and ths, utility interests and the wets are #od up with each The Spence law enables utility concerns to increase service rates at once. subject to ap- proval of rate making tribunals after hearing.

Most Candidates Dry. Naturally the contest has become very bitter, Mr. Turner openly charging that the utility concerns are financing Congressman James T. Begg's candidacy for the nomination for governor. Begg is dry and the other candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, Myers Y. Cooper, dry to the 'nth de- gree. Were either Begg or Cooper eliminated the other could probably casily be nominated. But the Anti- Saloon League has not been able to agree in its membership which of the two to support, and the result is doubt- ul 1 The outstanding candidates for the Democratic nomination for governor are Congressman M. L. Davey and former Lieut. Gov. Earl Bloom. They are both dry. Davey seemed clearly out in front A week ago, but the wets put some em- barrassing questions to him with a view to stimulating wet opposition. He was asked whether he was going to stand, as before, for prohibition and still sup- port Gov. Smith after his statement against prohibition. His answer was DENOGRATICHOPES NE N MARYLAND Party Leaders Seem Confi- | dent After Survey—Fac- tions Bury Hatchet. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, July 28.—As the strife in the Democratic party in Baltimore slowly heals, State leaders have been making a survey of the situation on the basis of past presidential election re- sults, Their findings are optimistic as to the result this year. Presidents Harding and Coolidge car- ried Maryland, resrect-lvely. in 1920 and 1924. The Republican majority in the | former year was 55491. The Coolidge | majority four yeatrs later was 14,342, or approximately one-quarter of that received by President Harding. Democratic leaders in Maryland hold that the 1920 figures represented a Re- publican landslide, which had its coun- terpart in every section of the country, due to a reaction against some of the Wilson policies. They interpret it as an abnormal v r and hold that it cannot be used successfully as an indi- cation of how Maryland may go in a | national election. La Follette’s Vote. The 1924 figure is regarded as more reliable and as cepresenting a situation closer to normaicy. The contention is | made that Maryland would have gone into the Democratic column that year had it not been for the candidacy of Senator La Follette, who polled 47.157 votes in Maryland, or about 13 per cent of the total vote cast. This contention is based on the be- lef that the majority of La Follette's votes came from members of organized labor, a group which is affiliatei for the most part with the Democratic party. Progressives. normally Demo- crats, also voted for the Wisconsin Sen- | ator, it is contended. Assuming that John W. Davis had | received only one-half of the votes polled by La Follette, had he not run, | the Democratic nominee would have | 1996—PART 1. not, Maryland Democrats are pointing he of a third in the contend that such favorably for them and increases the difficulties confront- mg the Republicans. [t was mainly because of the show- ing La Follette made in Maryland that the Socialist esgfly several weeks ago opened its presidential campaign in Bal- timore. Socialist leaders professed to |see a new trend in Maryland politics. The election figures for State-wide of- fices in 1926, however, do not sub- stantiate any such view. “he Sociolist candidate for the United States Senatg William Toole, in that year receives only 3,659 votes in the entire State. He is regarded as one of the most popular members of his party in Maryland. Factional Strife Subsides. Aside from these computations on paper, the Democratic side does seem brighter. The fighting among the city leaders has subsided and another out- break appears remote. There is still bitterness, but as lonf as this condition is kept under cover it keeps demorali- zation from spreading, it is pointed out. Reports from the counties seem to - dicate some hostility to Gov. Smith, but it is not regarded as greater than expected. No serious defections have been reported, and the county Demo- cratic newspapers are playing up farm rellef as the issue instead of prohibition. Gov. Ritchie and Gov. Smith have been close friends for several years, but the bond between them is greater since the Maryland executive withdrew from the presidential race, throwing all his strength and influence behind the New Yorker. v Maryland is taking a part in the Democratic campaign out of all propor- tion to its size as a State, political ob- servers believe. The Smlthgople re- gard Gov. Ritchie as a confidant: Sen- ator Millard E. Tydings was called to Albany for a conference, and John J. Rascob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, has a home in and it spending his week Within several more weeks place will be the scene of many important political conferences, it is expected. The Republicans in the State are still holding back, although Galen L. Tait, chairman of the State central committee, has startad to smooth out his organization. Early in the week he attended the conference held @y Chairman Work in New York. Activity *Attracts Notice. Already Mr. Tait’s activity has at- tracted notice, and there is some specu- lation as to how far Roland R. Mar- cerried the State by a majority of more {than 9,0000, it is contended. The fair- | ness of this assumption is argued on | the ground that the Democratic is the | dominant party in Maryland and, more- | |over, would have a greater appeal to persons who favored La Follette than | the campaign himself, relegating Mr | the Republican party. Whether this contention is sound or! th & E Sts. N.W. NACHMAN FURNITURE CO. 8th & Perna. Ave. chant and his lieutenants will permit the State chairman to go before halting him.

WALTMAN, Jr. JERSEYITES READY Arrangements . Practically| Completed for Nominee’s | | Appearance at Seagirt. | | | | Special Dispatch to The Star NEWARK, N. J.. July 28.—Gov. Al- | fred E. Smith’s first campaign lppur-‘ ance after his notification at Albany August 32 will be at Seagirt, along the | New Jersey seashore, August 25. The| New Jersey Democrats have promised | to have 100,000 present to greet the| Demacratic presidential ca) te. and | the uz’wuu will probably hold true. | Seagfrt is the Summer home of Gov. | Moore. The executive mansion faces the National Guard Summer encamp- ment drill field, which extends toward the ocean more than a mile. It is easily possible to accommodate 100,000 on the graesy field, and with amplifi- cation all can hear the speech Gov. Smith will make. Four years ago John W. Davis spent two days at Seagirt as the guest of | | Gov. Silzer, addressing 40,000 people '!‘mm in front of the executive man- sion. Large Crowd Expectsd. Seagirt is situated in the center of the 30-mile North Jersey shore, which | attracts closs to a million vacationists in August. Most of those at the shore | are New Jersey people, but there are also many from Pennsylvania and New York. Gov. Smith will have few op- portunities to address as large a crowd | during his campaign. | Coming three days after the notifica- tion ceremony at Albany, the speech is not liable to be as important as some the candidate will make later, for it is| believed he will merely repeat parts of his Albany speech. The crowd that will greet him will not be so much in- terested in what he says as in his| appearance. e arrangements have not been| comgeud. but it is expected Gov. Smitl 1 come to Seagirt the after- noon of August 24 to remain overnight at the executive mansion. The rail- roads and highways leading into Sea- girt will be so congested the morning of the 25th a trip through Jersey that day would probably be annoying to the | candidate. (Gov.
