ASKS N. Y. WOMEN'S AID

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait Advo-
Gates Independence of Party

NEW YORK, December 10 Coy the
Associated Press)-Mrs. Carrie Chap

American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton, today urged women of all politi-
cal faiths to join with male voters
equally disguised with the present
political system" to uplift the nation
to realization of the principles for
which it stands. She addressed more
than 1000 women at a luncheon con-
vention of the New York City League
of Woman Voters. an all-partisan
organization, of which she is hon
orary chairman.
Mrs. Gait advocated independence of
party utilization as the only method
by which the ideals in government,
which women stand for. can be reali

BE Independent" she said. Take
by intellect and ratify by conscience"
Political ambitions of public serv-
ants make towards of them and in
terfere with their initiative in formu-
lating and interpreting laws, Mrs.
Gait declared, and she decried the
prevalent spirit of inheriting political
beliefs and party Affiliations In her
survey of ten western suffrage states
she asserted she is convinced the re-
port is untrue that women are di-
vided by narrow partisan lines. She
urged women to oppose "slates" made
behind closed doors and to stand for
no political platforms Of which they

Gov. Smith, it is admitted, has the
faith and trust of New York state

can WELD in the 1920 presidential
campaign is a matter of speculation.
Republican leaders are firm in the be-
lief that the general labor unrest will
result in big republican majorittes
next fall. Although there has been
no serious industrial trouble within
the borders of this state, the coal and
steel strikes have both directly af-
fected every section.
The attitude of the national admin
istration toward those two big labor
disturbances has not met with the
general approval of labor men of this
state. but labor leaders declare they
are more interested in problems af-

WOOD AND JOHNSON
EAVOR|TES IN KANSAS
Some Talk of Gov. Allen Since He
INTERVIEWED in the
Coal Strike.

TOPEKA, Kans, December 10 (Spe-
ciaD.-Kansas republican politicians
are slightly in a muddle at the pres
ent time. For some months they have
been casting about and there has
been quite a general alignment for
Gen. Wood and Hiram johnson. with
few of the old stand-pat crowd
backing Senator Harding for the
presidential nomination. Without
doubt Wood is the strongest of the
candidates at this time with Kansas
folk.
But the coal situation came on and
suffering seemed immediate until Gov.
Henry Allen went into the coal fields
with volunteers and began digging
coal. Since that time there has been
a considerable swing of Wood and
Johnson men to Gov. Allen as presi-
Dental possibility.
There win likely be but two con-
gressional fights in Kansas next year.
One is in the first district. where
there is some opposition developing
toward D. r. Anthony. jr.. and the
other is in the eighth district, which
w. A. Ayers. democrat. represents.
Kansas Ma IS: AA house Of representatives,
wants to get into the race against
Anthony. There is whole flock Of
candidates for the republican nominal
ton against Ayers. r. A. Bird, judge
of the district court at Wichita; Eu-
gone Stanley. son Of the former gov
ernor. of Wichita; Rev. A. NJ. Bodie of
Wichita, Bruce Leydig of Leon and
Lacey Simpson of Mcpherson. are all
active candidates for the nomination.
The democrats are quite inactive at
present and have not announced any
candidates for congressional places
or even for state offices thus far.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, December $50
far as sentiment concerning aspirants
for the presidential nomination has crys-
tallized in Connecticut, it seems appar-
ent that the republican organization. as
represented by the state central COM
mittee. inclines toward Lowden. but is
thus far keeping brakes on its inclina-
ton. under the impression that there
may develop an impressive popular de-
mand for Gen. Wood.
To promote such popular demand, ac-
dvities are in progress by the forces OF
John T. King, who is Connecticut's ma
tional committeeman, who was the con-
fidant of Theodore Roosevelt in his lat
ter days and who is now SO prominent
in the Wood movement.
Organization Against King.
Kings personal strength in his own

cations in national conventions. But
King is now strongly out Of favor with
the state organization, which is believed
to be planning his elimination from the
national committee and the Substitu-
ton Of the state chairman, ]. Henry
Roraback.
Roraback, while at present non-com-
initial. is believed to be using his influ-
ence in behalf of Lowden. He is soft
spoken leader Of much discernment and
gentle methods. whose political move
ments are generally those of expediency
rather than dictation. He is largely
concerned with retaining his personal
hold on the state organization and
seems to be viewing the presidential
race from the attitude of one whose
first task is to dominate the state con-
vention as against his rival. King; re-

COLUMBIA, S. c.. December 10
(SpeciaD.-south Carolina, Of course,
will vote overwhelmingly for what
ever candidate the democratic party
puts up. It would vote enthusiastic
cally for Woodrow Wilson, though
there is much quiet dislike for q

Adoo would probably be the favorite

torney General Palmer is REGARDED

Senator Pomerene Of that state are in
the minds of few.
The successor Of Ellison Du Rant
Smith. United States senator, is to
be elected next year. He will likely
succeed himself. Gov. Cooper could
probably give Senator Smith more
trouble than any one else. He has
been remarkably successful as q gov
ernor. has won much hearty COM
mendation and little adverse criti-
cism. Ex-senator Pollock is supposed
to have aspirations to succeed SEN

All of the present members of the
lower national house from South

them may have contests.
So far as state politics is con-
cerned. Gov. Cooper will succeed him

case it does not now appear that he

Industrial Interests Dominant.
Under these conditions Connecticut's
attitude is likely to be directed by
the local ambitions of individual DO
litical workers unless there is made
obvious preponderant desire on the
part OF the people
In this connection it may be said
any united sentiment on the part of
the great industrial interests, backed
by their employees. would probably
prove the decisive factor in Connect
cuts choice.
The joy Of life in Connecticut de-
Ponds largely upon the prosperity
and cheerfulness of it's factory inter
Bryan days for the overthrow by
really tremendous majorities of any
thing which bore the democratic tag
and these are beginning to look care
fully at the problems of reconstruct
ton and the preservation of domestic
content. Such voices as spoke with
authority in Connecticut were for the
treaty of peace and the league cove
nant. The state would hardly lend
support to any candidate notably ac-
tive in opposition.
On the question of the democratic
nominee there is as yet little really
coherent thought For some years the
democrats of the state have been
strong neither in leadership nor or
ganization. They are not yet thinking
beyond Wilson.

HOME DELEGATION
Leonard Wood Managers
Show Disposition to Keep
Hands Off Illinois.

CHICAGO. December 10 (SpeciaD.-
Presidential primaries will be held in |
Illinois on April 10. at which tiue|
delegates to the national conventions
of both parties will be chosen and
the party voters will be given an OPT
portunity by direct vote to Indicate
their preference for candidate for
nomination for President.
Ward committeeman in Chicago and
county committeeman in other parts
of the state will be selected at the
same time. The primaries for the
nomination of candidates for United
States senator. for representatives in
offices to be filled at the November
election will not be held until Sep
TENDER.
Clear Field for Lowden.
1t is confidently expected that the
name of Gov. Lowden will be the
only one to appear upon the repub-
lican ballot at the primaries of April
13. The friends of Gen. Wood appar-
emily do not intend to antagonize the
Lowden movement in Illinois by plac-
ing Gen. Woods name on the ballot in
this state. Seemingly, Gov. Lowden
has the support of leaders of all fac
tions of the republican party in Illi-
nois. though there are misgivings in
some quarters as to the final attitude
of the faction led by Mayor Thomp-
son, who is republican national COM
mitteeman for Illinois and a candf-
date for Reelection to that position.
1t is thought, too. that Mayor
Thompson may be a candidate for
United States senator to succeed
Senator Sherman. who will not seek re-
election. Representative William r.
Mckinley is expected to be a candi-
date for United States senator.
Claim National Standing.
Spokesman for Gov. Lowden claim
that recent developments in South
Dakota take Lowden out of the
"favorite son" class and make him a
contender Of national standing. They
say the two leading candidates for
the republican nomination for Presi-
dent are Lowden and Wood; that IL
it's nominee it will take Wood: il the
desire be for business man. with
a record for admins trative efficiency
in the office of governor OF great
commonwealth. the choice will fall
upon Lowden.
The situation on the democratic side
is indefinite. Leaders of the demo-
cratic party in Illinois say they are
for President Wilson for a third term
if he desires it; otherwise they have
no choice at this time. 1t is even In
timated that no name may go on the
democratic primary ballot In Illinois
in April, but that delegates may be
selected without direct indication Of
preference by the voters of the party.

CHIEF IOWA INTEREST
IN RACE FOR SENATE
Gov. Lowden Seems to Lead in I'm

Sentiment.

senatorial campaign. in which Senator
Albert Il. Cummins will seek re-elec-

test now visible on the Iowa political
horizon
Senator Cummins today is without
formal opposition Yor the republican
nomination. But it is the opinion of
mast well informed republicans that
no will not continue TO be unopposed
until the primary next June. and it is
certain that the state democratic Or
ganization is preparing particularly
heavy and active campaign battery to
be trained against him between June
and November.

MAINE LIKELY TO SEE
HOT RACE FOR GOVERNOR
Republican Aspirants Anxious as
to Intentions of Gov.
Milliken,

AUGUSTA, Me, December IS (Spe-
ciaD.-With the approach of the new
year politics is beginning to loom
up in both the republican and demo-
cratic camps. and by March, it is ex-
pected, things will be sizzling.
There are two avowed candidates
for the republican nomination for
governor-CoL Frederic n. Parkhurst
of Bangor. former member of both
branches of the legislature. and John
Percy Deerfng. a member of the pres
ent senate. Gov. Milliken has not
said whether or not he will be a can
didate for third term.
The activity on the democratic
side of the house is not so pro-
nounced. Bertrand G. MaIntire of
Norway, who was the nominee of the
democracy for governor two years
ago, may, it is asserted by party
leaders, have the nomination in 1920
without a struggle. In the event that
Mr.. McIntire will not consent to run
the names Of Frank A. Morey, for
mer mayor Of Lewiston and former
tives; Prof. Kenneth c. NJ Stills. presi-
dent Of Bowdoin College, and William
Robinson Pattangan Of Augusta, for
mer attorney general. have been sug-
gested.
The republican state convention to
adopt a platform and choose twelve
delegates and twelve alternates to
attend the national convention will
be held in the city hall at Bangor
Thursday, March rs. Six candidates
for presidential electors also will be
nominated at this convention, over
which United States Senator Freder
ick Hale of Portland will preside.
It seems to be the impression here
that the democratic state convention
will be held at Bangor on the Tues
day following the republican state
conuentton. which will be March 80.
