CALLS ISSUE STRADDLED.
New Says Cox Is Reaching for
Public With One Hand.

CHICAGO. August T. Senator
Harry S. New of Indiana, chairman
of the republican campaign speakers
committee and member of the Senate
foreign relations committee, in a
signed statement tonight declared
that Gov. Cox in his speech of accep-
lance today had devoted three
columns to the league of ia<ions. but
had straddled the real league issue.
Gov. Cox is in the position of
holding fast to President Wilson with
one hand and reaching for the public
with the other" said the statement.
He leaves entirely unanswered in
his speech, the main issue of the
leaeue-aYticle X-and no one knows
how he stands on it except by in
terpreting his statement made after
the conference with President Will
son as meaning that he favors 1T.
Gov Cox must come out cleanly in
the campaign and say whether he
favors article ten; whether he favors
sending American troops abroad. for
his speech of acceptance is very un-
satisfactory on that point"

Men Who Favored Candidates De.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. August T.
Efforts to smooth over any animosi-
ties that may have remained after the
presidential preference primaries and
the Chicago convention are being car
ried out rapidly by the republican
management. Zell Swain, who was
the manager of Hiram Johnson in the
preference primary, has accepted
place with the republican state or
lganization, and it is understood that
Hiram Bearss, who was one of the
Leonard Wood delegates. also is to
lend hand. Harry Chamberlin, who
was one of the active Wood men in
Indianapolis, has accepted an impor-
tant appointment at the hands of the
governor, and it is not presumed thai
he will do anything except promote
the interests of the ticket.
The activities of the Harding for
President Club in Indianapolis are
stressed as an example of the en-
thusiasm for Harding. Organization
republicans point to the fact that
some of those on the roster of this
Organization were very active for the
nomination of Leonard Wood. This
club has opened headquarters and is
making arrangements for a delega-
ltion of its members to go to Marion
to greet Senator Harding.
Both political parties are deep in
Organization work. State Chairman
Wasmuth, Repres ntative Benham.

the republican state committee, and

nection. Carleton McCuIloch, demo-
cratic nominee for governor. is plan

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALBANY, n. Y, August with
the understanding that New York
state will be one of the big storm
centers of the presidential campaign
republican leaders of the old guard
are expressing satisfaction over the
selection of Judge Nathan L. Miller
of Syracuse as the gubernatorial can
didate. They point to him as man
of the type embodied in the national
ticket and feel that he will bring
out the full strength of the repub-
hcan party locally. But they are
considerably disturbed at this time
over the prospect of primary fights
on Judge Miller by Secretary of State
Hugo and State Senator George F.
Thompson.
Both have distributed nominating
petitions confirming the original re-
ports that they would oppose the or
ganization selection of any attempt
at nomination by the state convention.
In addition both have shown mark
ed bitterness in their early state
ments regarding their candidacy. SEN
ator Thompson els one of the most
vindictive fighters in New York state
to fay Judge Miller at every turn.
Although the New York state lead
ers do not expect to have much trou-
BILE in eliminating both Hugo and
Thompson in the primaries. they feel
that some of the revelations of the
primary campaign may hurt Judge
Miller when he enters the home stretch
against his democratic opponent, Gov.
Alfred E. Smith.
Two Serious Contests.
Instead of restoring the perfect har-
mony that was hoped for by party
chieftains who are most anxious to
elect the national ticket, the state
convention developed two serious con-
tests, the gubernatorial and senate
rial designations of the convention
being opposed by Independent candi-
dates. United States Senator James
W. Wadsworth, jr., was a storm cen
ter at the convention and the old
line leaders were forced to exert every
pressure at their command to put him
across. Wadsworth was opposed by
a strong faction of republican women
because of his attitude toward suf-
frage and by the dry forces because
of his pronounced wet sentiments.
But the opposition in both cases was
bowIed over and Wadsworth received
the nomination only to have George
Henry Payne of New York announce
that he would oppose him in the pri-'
marieS.
Payne's fight on Wadsworth has a
rather personal touch. as he claims

Every effort is being made to hold

Factors Against Thompson.
On its face. the situation looks
bright for Thompson. but there are
factors which work against him. the
first is the absence from the repub-
iican primaries this fall of thousands
of socialists who voted in the dele
gate campaign last spring. This fall
they have a state ticket or their own
for which they must vote to give II
a place on the ballot. The return OF
socialists to their own party means a
weakening of the Thompson candi-
dacy.
The second factor is the candidacy
of Mayor A. C. McHemry Of Oshkosh,
the clergyman champion of the vets.
Trained in pulpit oratory and skilled
in practical politics, the Oshkosh
mayor, though not counted as prob
able winner, promises to attract a
considerable vote on his beer and
light wine platform. 1t is believed
that his vote VIM come chiefly from
those who would otherwise voice
their protest against prohibition by
voting for Thompson.
The third is the Endorsement by
Senator La Toilette of John j. Blaine
for governor. In supporting Blaine
the senator turned down Lieut.. Gov.
Il. r. D1tnmar, veteran VI many O1
his battles. The rejection of Dith-
mar has so incensed many in the
senator's camp that they are threat
ening revenge by knitting Thompson
and voting for Lenroot or McHenry.
These disturbing elements have even
ed up the chances. Both Lenroot and
Thompson realize the situation and
neither will halt until the primaries close
in September.

Fight Against Esch.
In the seventh district a coalition
OF the Plumb Plan League, the Nom

publicaHS has been effected to defeat
John J. Esch. co-author of the Esch-
Cummins bill. Former Labor Com
missioner Joseph ID. Beck is the coali-
ton candidate. Though Esch has
been regarded as invulnerahle. he is
making an active campaign through
out his district this year.
Democrats stand a chance to elect
H. w. Bolens in the second district.
now represented by Representative
Ed Voigt, republican. The result
there depends on the way the vote is
split between the three parties. Voigt
was elected two years ago over a
tive at that time, he has since Of
Tended his wing by identifying him
self with the La Toilette republicans.
Jacob Miller. the socialist candidate,
is believed to be stronger than the
socialist of the last campaign, and
likely to cut more deeply into
Voigts vote, thought Voigt strength
ened himself to some extent by vot-
ing against the unseating of Berger.
A slight loss by Voigt. coupled with
a gain by Bolens. will change the
complexion of the district.

Gen. Wood is behind him in his fight
on Wadsworth. and Wood has many
influential friends in New YORK state.
so that he can make considerable
trouble for the senator if he is strong
for Payne as the latter claims.
Virtually the same interests and in
fiuences that swayed the republican
national convention dominated the
New York state gathering, and their
efforts were crowned with the same
success. Judge Miller received the
approval of both Senator Harding and
Gov. Coolidge prior to the convention,
when representatives of the national
candidates conferred with state lead
ers in New York city. The fact that
he was Endorsed by the national can
didates was advanced as the greatest
argument in his favor at Saratoga.
and clearly shows the inclination of
New York state republicans to work
IN perfect accord with the national
organization in the forthcoming cam
paign.
A series of conferences of republic
can leaders have been outlined for the
discussion and adoption of campaign
plans. The aim is to concentrate all
the power and influence of the repub-
llcan organization in a big drive to
al w" Aolh loI potu Lie
state and national tickets. These con-
ferences will take place in New York
city within the next two weeks, and
leaders of every faction in the repub-
lican party will be urged to attend. 1t
is believed that the old guard leaders
will make an attempt to do what they
failed to do at Saratoga-pacify the
disgruntled and unite the republican
party.
Democratic HaPvuouv
In direct contrast is the situation
in the state democratic organization,
for all open wounds of years past
seem to have been healed, and there
is no doubt that every faction will
support Gov. Smith and the national
ticket. Tammany has shown an I'M
natural leniency in dealing with her
enemies this year. and there is much
speculation as to the cause But it
can be readily traced to a fervent de-
sire to carry New York state for Cox
and Roosevelt Tammany was instru-
mental in nominating Cox at San
Francisco, and for the first time in
many years the organization of New
York state got a man for the presi-
dency whom it had indorsed
Mayor George r. Lunn Of Schenec-
tady is the one man who persists in
Tammany, but he has an
nounced that he will give his whole
hearted support to both Cox and
Roosevelt regardless of the outcome
of his Tight for the nomination for
