BARNES IS FACING
SEVERE STRUGGLE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALBANY, n. Y, July civilian
Barnes Albany county organization,
that republican rock which first
brought him state and then national
recognition, is in danger and for the
first time in his career Barnes is fac
ing a struggle to hold his own at
home His absence from this city and
his delegation Of executive control in
the local organization to assistants
has created a situation that is Civ
ing the New York state leader con-
siderable cause for worry at this
time. The Chicago convention open
ed Barnes eyes to certain conditions
in Albany county that. he had not sus-
pected and since the national meeting
the situation has taken a turn de-
cidedly unfavorable to Barnes.
The real fight upon Barnes will not
be launched until the local election
year from this fall, but few of the
preliminaries. will be staged in the
coming campaign. An influential re-
publican. a former Office holder in
the Barnes organization here, has
been working quietly for months
building up following that is even
tually expected to work the over
throw of Barnes. His followers
are decreasing every day. until at this
time the only men who remain loyal
to him are a few lifelong Office hold
ers. The new organization is dis
tinctly popular among the women Of
this county. A few tactless moves by
the present Barnes leaders within the
past few months have turned the
female vote against Barnes organi-
cation.
It is hardly expected that Barnes
will give up his leadership without
fight. although the new republican
element here expects to effect COM
promise with Barnes. but will force
him to desert the handful of men who
are sticking to him now.

Special Dispa tch TO The Star
SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, July 8
While the deadlock over the demo-
cratic presidential nomination was
on candidates for Vice President were
trying to line up support from the
delegates. There were about dozen
reported candidates engaged in ac-
tive canvassing on the convention
floor. among them being:
Joseph e. Davies, Wisconsin,. for
mer chairman of the Federal Trade
Commission.
Gov. Stewart of Montana.
Gov. Smith of New York.
James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois.
Senator David 1. Walsh OF Massa-
chusetts.
Gen. L. D. Tyson of Tennessee.
Former Gov. George H. Hodges of
Kansas.
David r. Francis of Missouri, for
mer governor and former ambassador
to Russia.
None of the aspirants- for second
place had any decisions, all realizing
that the geography Of the situation
must be taken into account after the
candidate for President was named
Perhaps the NEST active of all the
candidates was Joseph E. Davies of
Wisconsin, whose friends said he
would have more than 300 votes
on the first ballot regardless of
geography.
The women have been trying tc
break into the race for second honor
and nearly every suffrage state has
a candidate. Foremost, of course, is
Mrs. George Bass of Illinois, but even
she smiled when any predictions were
made.
