GOV. COXS OHIO FRIENDS
FEAR WETAND-DRY ISSUE
They Regard 1t as the One Source of Irou-
BILE to Him as They Look Ouer the d.
Field of Campaign.

Special Dispa tch to The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 1.-THE wet
and dry question is the one source
of trouble to Gov. Cox. as his friends
here look out now over the field of
himself. the governor has always
been looked upon as liberal in his
views as to legislation restricting the
use of intoxicating liquors. The vote
cast for him when he has been a
candidate in the wet districts of the
state indicate that he has been SO
regarded by the liquor interests.
Nevertheless the governor has never
been called upon to take official ac-
ton that would definitely locate him
as to this matter.
Last spring he went to Chicago to
make speech on some local occas ion
and there in an interview given TO
a newspaper he stated in so many
words that he felt that the alcoholic
content in liquor permitted under
the Folstead act could we'll be in
creased 1t provoked fresh criticism
OF the governor on the part of the
Anti-Saloon League leaders. The
governor and DR. p A Baker, ma
League. had previously exchanged
personalities on the liquor issue, and
the Chicago interview famed the
animosity between them into flames
again.
Avoids Reference to the Issue.
Since his nomination at San Fran
cisco Gov. Cox has avoided all ref
erences to the liquor issue. but the
prompt presentation of the issue to
him by a telegram from Capt. r. P.
Hobson indicates that the radical ele-
ment is not to permit him to ignore
the matter. Gov. Cox announced the
day the Hobson message was re-
ceived that he would make answer
to it, but he has not done SO yet
at least not publicly The Anti
Saloon League has a large member
ship here in its home state and, while
no doubt a large majority of the
members are republicans. by no
means all of them are. There is a
considerable element of the demo-
cratic party included in that men,
bership. and they are watching to
see what sort of reply Gov. Cox
will make to the Hobson message.
They do not believe that the gov
ernor can afford to take the lead of
the San Francisco platform and is-
more the matter.

A development of the San Fran

Conferences at the Capital.
The special session of the Indiana
legislature which has been grinding
j away this week has been the back
ground for good many political
conferences. The opinion among both
democrats and republicans seems to
be that Indiana will be hard fighting
ground in the coming campaign. Re-
pubiicans from different parts of the
state admit that were it not that this
! is a national campaign year the re-
| publican chances in Indiana would
be rather slim. They expect, how
ever, that the feeling that exists
against the Wilson administration
will be sufficient to carry the repub-
| licans to victory. Once in while the
! prediction is heard that the state may
go democratic as to the state ticket.
but republican as to the national
ticket This view, however, is not
generally accepted.

DEMOCRATIC SKIES
IN SOUTH BRIGHTEN
Clouds Have Rolled Away.
Underwood Expects Soil
darity There.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

! MONTGOMERY. Ala, July 1.-THE
democratic political situation in Ala
! bama and the south, for that matter is
better shape than some of the lifelong
democrats had dared to hope it would
during pre-convention days.
| Senator Underwood has been in Ala
bama for while since the San Fran
cisco convention. and he predicts a
strong race and a substantial victory for
| the democratic ticket. He looks for Cox
and Roosevelt to get the solid south,
Missouri, Ohio. Kentucky. Maryland and
sufficient number of electoral votes
from the middle west and western states
to carry them to victory. even if they
should fail to get the New York and
| Illinois vote.
No Bolt Expected.
| 1t was an open question in Georgia
| for while as to the possibility of a
| breaking .away from the democratic
party in that state. Thomas L. Watson
and Thomas w. Hardwick. the latter a
candidate for governor and the former
almost candidate for United States
senator, controlled the recent state con-
vention and sent delegation to San
| Francisco but it was not seated. This,
| it was feared in Alabama and some
other southern states. would cause Wat
party but such will not be the case.
They are both for the San Francisco
ticket.
This attitude by Watson and Hard
wick probably insures the solid south
for the democrats again. In Alabama
the democrats will poll their normal
strength with the republicans gather
ing up a total of about twenty-five
to thirty thousand at the November
elections
Democrats Loyal to Ticket.
The Alabama delegation has re-
turned from San Francisco and with
their explanations of the situation
) which developed there it appears
certain that all classes of democrats
will now line up strong behind the
national ticket and do their utmost
welt.
William Jennings Bryan has a
strong following in Alabama and it
was thought for a time that this fol-
lowing would possibly fall by the
, wayside and sulk in the tent, SO to
speak. because it was known that Cox
was not at all the choice of Bryan.
After Analysing the situation. how
ever. they say that Cox is much more
nearly of the Bryan type or OF the
progressive sort than is Harding. and
they can see nowhere else to go ex-
cept to the democratic ticket with all
their force.
Dr. w B. Crumpton of Montgomery.
for many years past president of the
Alabama Anti-Saloon League and in
veterate foe of the liquor ira ffic. has
issued a public statement in which
he says that, while he fears that Cox

he should be and Crumpton wishes
that he might be. he cannot. as a
