on the democratic side.
Hoover stands second for the re-

Frank B. Brandegee of Connecticut,
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, Gov Calvin
Coolidge and Gov Frank o. Lowden
in the order named. Palmer is second
ed by McAdoo, President Wilson and
Champ Clark. AS the Connecticut
delegates are elected by conventions,
there is no other way of testing popu-
lar sentiment.
However. it is generally understood
majority of the republican dele

democratic fourteen. Senator Warren

which was considered formida BILE

Three women will be members Of

NEW MEXICO DEMOCRATS
NAME SENATOR JONES
Will Be Temporary Chairman and
Deliver Keynote Address at
State Convention. i.

SANTA FE, N. NJ. May 90 Especially.
Senator A. A. Jones has been selected
by the democratic state central commit
tee to serve as temporary chairman. and
deliver the keynote address in the state
convention, which will be held in Ros
well on June 3. He has accepted the
invitation.
The selection of Senator Jones is be-
lieved here to indicate that the keynote
address will unreservedly indorse the
Wilson administration and policies.
whatever the convention may elect to
declare in the resolutions. Senator
Jones term as national committeeman
expires with this convention, and the
general impression is that he will retire,
to be succeeded by Arthur Seligman, for
the last four years state chairman.
Nobody here knows whether Senator
Jones will care to go as a delegate to
the San Francisco convention. If he de-
sires to go as a delegate, there is no
reason to doubt that he will head the
delegation. Little or nothing is known
in New Mexico as to his preference for
any candidate, except, of course, that
he Is certain to stand by the adminis-
tration. GUTHRIE SMITH.

BALTIMORE, Md. May 2e.-Any
advantage which adherents of the
democratic and republican parties in
this state thought one might get
over the other because of the stand
on prohibition. apparently is lost. The
democrats have damp plank in
their platform and the straws are
pointing for a similar plank to be
adopted by the G. o. z.
The democratic state convention
was held Thursday in the Academy
Theater here, and so interested were
made against the Volstead amend
ment that they cast aside a conserva-
tive damp" plank proposed by United
States Senator John Walter Smith
and adopted one rega rded as damp
err" which was offered and supported
by the forces of Gov. Ritchie. The
plank proposed by Senator Smith
condemned the saloons. but the one
adopted does not. 1t calls for beer,
light wines and cider. The state con-
vention indorsed the Wilson admins
tration and ratified the nomination
of Senator John Walter Smith as the
party candidate for that office.
Assured of "Wet" Senator.
With Senator Smith pledged to sup
port the damp plank and the state
ment of o. +. Weller, republican state
leader and candidate for the United
States Senate. that he is in favor of
modification of the NolStead amend
ment, Maryland is assured of wet"
representative in the next Senate.
Neither the democrats nor the re-
publicans favor dripping" wet plat
form-it was not thought by many
that they would-so there can be no
fight on that score.

ton does not meet until Tuesday to

PHILADELPHIA. May 22.-Unless
Senator Philander Chase Knox re-
fuses to permit the use Of his name
as a candidate. Pennsylvania's seven
ty-six delegates. chosen at the pri-
maries last Tuesday. will vote for
hirp for the republican nomination for
President at Chicago. Senator Knox
has made no public statement rela-
tive to discussion of him as candi-
date, but the situation is expected to
be cleared up so far as he is con-
republican state committee.
The committee will meet in Phtla-
delphia before the national conven-
ton. and the call will be issued this
week by State Chairman William E.
Crow. Since the primaries Senator
Knox has been urged by potential re-
publican leaders in Pennsylvania to
son. but as candidate who may be
nominated. The republican news
papers throughout the state are
praising his record as q statesman
and discussing his availability as a
candidate.
In the primaries, Senator Boies
Penrose received q remarkable tn-
dorsement as a public man and a
political leader The senator's In
dorsement came from three direc-
tions He was renominated for the
Senate without opposition. which is
equivalent to election: he was chosen
a delegate at large to Chicago. and
the republican state committee elect
ed will re-elect him Pennsylvania's 8
member of the republican national
In addition nearly all Of
the national delegates will follow his
leadership at Chicago.
Senate will make a new record in the
politics of the state. as he will be
the only man to be elected for Ave
terms as a. senator from Pennsyl-
vania. At the primaries he was sup
ported by all factions Of the party
and by men who heretofore have op-
posed him in politics. At Senator
Penrose's offices it was said today
he would leave Philadelphia for Chi
cago on the afternoon Of June 3.
In the democratic primaries Attor-
ney General Mitchell Palmer made q
cleanup nearly everywhere. OF the
seventy-six delegates to San Fran
cisco the Attorney General has sew
enty-three, and it is probable that he
will be supported by the entire dele
cation. Joseph F. Guffey of Pitts
burgh, the Palmer candidate for
democratic national committeeman,
Eugene c. Bonniwen of Philadelphia,
and the democratic state committee
will be controlled by Palmer by a
large majority. Arrangements are
being made for a large delegation of
Pennsylvania democrats to go to San
Francisco and boom the Attorney
Generals candidacy.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 22.-
Thomas -Taggart never came nearer to
being king than he did on the occasion
Of the democratic state convention here
this week. Mr.. Taggart was the con-
vention. His absolute hand was seen in
everything from the makeup of the
state ticket to the drafting Of the plat
form.
1t was a marvellous sight to see Mr..
Taggart hold up a restraining hand
when other democrats wished to put
light wine and beer plank in the plat
form.
Mr. Taggart, who in past years has
been the ally of brewers in politics. put
his foot down fiat on the liquor propo-
sition. There were those who wished a
somewhat qualified Endorsement of the
Presidents league of nations. Mr. Tag
gart said no and what he said went IT

be a good candidate for such and such
an office. Mr.. Taggart said yes or no..
as he thought best, and the man In
question was nominated or turned down

Democrats All Smiling.
And the strange part of it was that
the democrats were all smiles. every
thing was harmonious, and those who
were consigned to political, oblivion by
Mr. Taggart smiled on him just the
same. The situation Is not difficult TO
analyze. The democrats are counting
solely on Taggart to bring victory to the
party this fall. Senator Watson heads
the republican ticket as Taggart's oppo-
nent, and the democrats believe that
Watson's attempt at control OF the re-
publican organization and the faction
strife he has stirred up will be his un-
doing.

SCRAP IN RHODE ISLAND
D|STURBS DEMOCRATS
Injection of Irish Question and
Article < of League Brings
Hot Fight.
Special Dispa tch to The Star,

PROVIDENCE. r. l.. May 22-Al-
though a strong minority of the
Rhode Island delegation to San Fran
cisco will fight for the injection of
the Irish question into the proceed
ings and will favor the reputation
of article x of the league of nations
covenant. a majority of the ten dele
gates will back National Committee
man Patrick H. Quinn in supporting
President Wilson.
Col. Quinn had a hard fight to get
control of the delegation. and the
state convention for the choice of
delegates was the stormiest in years.
Fitzgerald i'm Hot Contest.
John ]. Fitzgerald. former mayor
of Pawtucket. opposed the national
committeeman. 1t was Mr.. FitZger-
AIDS desire not only to go to San
Francisco as a delegate, but to con-
troll the delegation and to have him
self chosen as the states representa-
tive on the convention platform COM
mittee, in order that he might make
fight for the adoption of plank
favoring freedom for Ireland and
another repudiating article y.
Col. Quinn and State Chairman AL
beric A. Archambault would not
countenance Mr.. Fitzgerald's pro-
gram, and the latter carried his fight
to the floor of the convention, where
he narrowly missed winning a ma
jority of the delegation to San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Fitzgerald is a scrapper of
the first order. however, and he is apt
to be heard from when he reaches the
coast.
Although the former Pawtucket
mayor did not succeed in controlling
the delegation, he did have his way in
getting a platform that repudiated
President Wilson on article y and
favored freedom for Ireland.
Republican Course Not Decided.
AS the date for the republican pow
WOW in Chicago approaches. it is not
certain whether Rhode Islands ten
votes will be thrown for Wood or
Lowden on the first ballot. Propo-

claim six of the ten delegates. 1t is
known that Gov. Beckman. who is
chairman of the delegation, is great
friend of the Lowden candidacy.

Senator Hiram w. Johnson, Califor-
MAS choice for the republican nomi-
nation for the presidency. was elect
ed to head the list of alternate dele
gates to the Chicago convention at a
meeting of the republican delegation
in San Francisco. Charles S. Wheeler
man. attorney. of San Francisco was
also elected an alternate. He is sched-
uled to make the speech placing john
son in nomination at Chicago.
The action in selecting johnson as a
member Of the delegation is for the
purpose of giving him a chance to get
place on the floor of the convention.
and at the psychological moment
make a speech which will win for him
the nomination. johnson supporters in
California expect this effort to be
as effective as was Bryan's cross of
gold speech at the democratic conven-
tion in Chicago in 1896
johnson will win not later than the
third ballot" is the confident predic-
tion of the Johnson leaders in Cali
fornia. THE convention will not dare
to turn him down"
Wheeler. who is an orator of hardly
less ability than the senator himself,
will make the effort of his career in
Johnson's behalf. A large party will
accompany the delegation to Chicago
to make big demonstration for the
senator. ROY V. BAILEY.
