NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
LOOKING THEM OVER"
No Enthusiasm for Hoover and
Bryan, Is Viewed With
Regret.

ALBANY N. Y, January 81 (Spe-
at sea in regard to gubernatorial and
presidential candidates. Up to this
time no one has gained ground over
any other. Hoover is not being look
ed upon with any great degree of en-
thusia-sm, and as far as Bryan Is con-
cerned there is regret the great Ne
braskan did not remain at home.
New York is growing restless under
prohibition rule. 1t is a case of driv-
ing horse to water, but without
guarantee that he will drink Up to
this time the lid has not been clamped
on tight-the less monied people may
have felt the absence of stimulants,
but those who can and will pay the
price have no difficulty in getting
what they want. Now, however, fed
eral excise agents are beginning to
turn the screws; day by day the lid
is frightened, and the vets are becom-
ing irritable. The cities of the state
are largely wet, with New York city
as the leading proponent of the wet
cause.
Gov. Smith sounded the keynote of
the 1920 series of the wet-versus-dry
conflict when he in his annual mes
sage to the legislature asked the
members of both houses to reconsider
the ratification of the prohibition
amendment and submit the question
to the voters at the next general
elections AS he is opposed by a
strongly entrenched and thoroughly
dry republican majority little hope is
entertained his suggestion will be
followed. H J. ADAMSON.

H. N. SPAULDING TO BID
FOR Mr.. MOSES SEAT
Will Announce Candidacy When
Anthony Amendment Is Declared
Law, His Friends State.

MANCHESTER, N. H., January 81
(SpeciaD.-With the close of the con-
stitutional convention there comes the
announcement by friends of Huttley
n. Spaulding, the wealthy Rochester
manufacturer. that he waits only for
word that sufficient number of states
have ratified the Anthony amendment
permitting women to vote. to enter
the field as a candidate against Unit
ed States Senator George H. Moses.
For several days there has been al
most statewide gossip that Spauld-
ing. who is spending part of the win
ter in Southern Pines, s. c., would
probably be a candidate on a third
party ticket. This is denied by friends
of Mr.. Spaulding. though they do not
deny that his associates in the state
food administration during the war
are being enlisted for him without
regard to political affiliations. Mr..
Spaulding was state food administra-
tor.
Mr.. Spaulding's friends insist that
IL he becomes a candidate it will be as
a republican. 1t is matter of record
that he recently declared he was a
republican when the story was circu-
lated that he was quetting with the
democrats. HARRY c. SHAW.

H|O'SDELECATES
SAFEFOR HARDING
Neither Wood, Johnson Nor
Borah Expected to Enter
Candidates.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, January 81 (Spe-
ciaD Harding will not have
to make a contest in his state, nor
in any congressional district of it,
for the election of delegates favora-
dency. This much has been made
plain by Col. W. C. Proctor. Ohio
manager for the movement for the
nomination Of Gen. Wood-admitted-
ly the most dangerous opponent of
the senator here. No candidates for
delegates will be entered by the
Wood managers here. and in all prob
sued by both Senator Johnson and
Senator Borah.
The Wood interests. however. will
take advantage Of the provision of
the Ohio law which permits a presi-
Dental preferential vote to be taken.
Separate and apart from the cleo
ton OF delegates at large and dis
trict, the Ohio law provides for an
expression of the members of a party
of their preferences among those Of
fering themselves for the presiden-
tial nomination. Any such candidate
may secure an expression Of prefer
euceS Dy simply ming MS oeciardCoH
with the secretary of state. Neither
let nor hindrance power is lodged
with either state officers or state
party leaders. If outsiders insist
upon taking advantage of this pro-
vision they may do so.
1t seems certain. therefore. that
while the delegation sent to the re-
publican national convention will be
firmly for the nomination of Senator
Harding. his opponents will have
record Of the sediment of the rank
and file of the party both as to them
selves individually and to all the
candidates for the nomination rela-
tively-for such use as they care to
make of it.
In order to avoid an embarrassing
contest between Senator Pomerene
and himself. Gov. Cox has suggested
to the democratic state central COM
mittee that it omit making any in
dorsement Of an Ohio man for the
presidential nomination and leave the
matter to the voters of the party. No
doubt he has in mind the use Of the
preferential ballot provision Of the
state election law.
The committee has adopted the gov
ernOr's suggestion.

NORTH CAROLINA TALKS
"McAD00 FOR PRESIDENT"
Belief Expressed That Sentiment
for Former Secretary Is Being
Encouraged in WASHINGTON.

RALEIGH. N. c., January 81 (Spe-
ciaD. - The McAdoo for President
sentiment has made its appearance in
the North Carolina state administra-
ton. There is some reason to suspect
il received encouragement from
Washington. First came a special
dispatch to Secretary Daniels news
paper saying that Washington had
heard that sentiment had crystallized
down home for the former Secretary
of the Treasury. Then appeared an
editorial in the News and Observer
which intimated that the democratic
nomination would not be used to re-
ward anybody for very recent serv-
ices"
state officials who entertain and
have seen others who entertain a
Ciear-cut sentiment for Herbert
Hoover are inclined to believe that
the McAdoo sentiment is being manu-
factured at the National Capital. The
sentiment for Hoover is actually here
and appears to be growing among the
run-of-the mine democrats. McAdoo
support is evidently coming. and
representatives here of North Caro-
linians prominent in Washington are
refusing to encourage the Hoover
boom. o. ]. COFFIN.

KANSAS REPUBLICANS
OPPOSE INSTRUCTIONS
Delegates to Convention Free to
Cast Unshackled Ballot-Allen

Topeka. Kan. January 81 (Spe-
cial).-An uninstructed Kansas dele
cation to the republican NATIONAL
convention is assured as a result of
agreements reached by party leaders
at the meeting of the state central
committee here. A growing Lowden
sentiment may even give the Illi-
nois candidate a majority of the del
egates. although at present Wood is
far away in the lead in this state.
A strong undercurrent for Low
den was evident at the annual meet
ing of the Kansas Day Club, the lead
ing republican organization of the
state, which held it's annual meet
ing and banquet the same day the
state committee met.
The Kansas delegations first ballot
probably will be cast for Gov. Allen
for President.
The republican state convention to
elect delegates at large will be held

Curtis will have no opposition for

BOTH PARTIES ANNOYED
BY ACTIVITIES OF LABOR
Connecticut Democrats Thought to
Have Suffered Most From
Movement.

HARTFORD. Conn.,, January 81 (Spe-
ciaD.-The American labor party is
causing some uneasiness to the lead
ers of the major parties in, Connecti-
cut, but the republicans. while not
fully at ease regarding it. are much
more complacent over the movement
than are the democrats. The city
election in Hartford last spring. when
the new third party movement had
its greatest momentum, indicated that
il was much more harmful to the
democrats than to the republicans.
Early indications are that United
States Senator Frank B. Brandegee.
republican, senior member from Con-
necticut. will be returned to Congress
in November. Up to the present
nothing has appeared to show that he
will be opposed for the republican
nomination. Representative Angus
tine Lonergan of the first Connecti-
cut district is being considered by the
democrats to run against Brandegee,
and it has even been suggested that
Homer S. Cummings. chairman of the
democratic national committee, un-
successful candidate against Senator
George +. Mclean in 1916. may again
be candidate. II. i. HORTON.

MICHIGAN SUPPORT
0verhau|s Gen. Wood in Cam

Swing.

DETROIT, Mich, January 81 (Spe-
ciaD.-In SO far as the struggle for the
republican nomination for President
lies between Gov. Frank o. Lowden
of Illinois and Gen. Leonard Wood,
the presidential campaign is now in
full swing in Michigan. The feature
of the last ten days has been the
squirt Of activity on behalf of Gov.
Lowden-his manager say it will keep
up until the day Of the presidential
preference primary, April sand it's
proportions have been such that the
situation between Wood and Lowden
may be said to have changed ma
terially.
Ten days ago one got the prediction
anywhere. from every one, that at
the moment Wood would carry Michi-
gan, but. that Lowden was on the way.
Gen. Woods strength lay not in work
OF his managers. but in familiarity
with his name. and the strong SYM
pathy for him-a residium of the al
ways very strong admiration of this
state for Roosevelt. This was espe-
cially true in the cities. The farmers
have always constituted the bulk of
the regular" G. o. p, and it is in the
farming districts that Lowden had his
natural pre-campaign strength.
The Wood managers are better or
ganized to date than Gov. Lowden's
forces. They began earlier They
have also opened up widely a cam
paign among the women, who will for
the first time vote q. a presid entail
election in Michigan. Lowden's man
ayers are just now making plans for
extensive work among the women's
clubs
The Lowden people are playing their
candidate hard. He will make at least
five speeches in Michigan before
April 5. He has already appeared in
st. Joseph. Benton Harbor, Grand
Rapids and Detroit, and February S
will address the annual meeting Of
the State Association Of Farmers
Clubs in Lansing. when about 5000
delegates will assemble. Lowden will
make second appearance in Detroit
Plans for Gen. Woods appearance are
also in the making, but nothing def
mite is yet arranged. It is expected to
bring him to Detroit at least once.
He has made one visit to the state
appearing in Grand Rapids, where
former United States Senator William
Alden Smith publicly Endorsed his
candidacy, while Smiths paper gave
warm praise to Gov. Lowden.

phatic reiteration that he would not
be 'favorite son" candidate for the
republican nomination for President,
but would be responsive to the will Of
of the party, coming at the time of
greatest activity Of men urging Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood, has produced
very interesting situation in Pennsyl-
vania, one that has no parallel in re-

Custom in Former Years.
In years gone by Pennsylvania gov
ernors or senators have openly sought
election of pledged delegates, and the
present situation is apparently doing
for Sproul While the Wood hackers
have been active in the formation of
Wood clubs and committees, and the
laying of foundations for delegate
they have encountered
reluctance on the part of a number of
men approached to become delegate
aspirants if they would oppose Sproul
And the governors statement makes
them uncertain.
In western counties it is said that
propositions for Sproul first and then
Wood have been made, but no an
nouncement on that basis has been
heard of. 1t would appear that in
western counties the Wood boomers
have struck what some enthusiastic
Harding men earlier ran against. The
way matters now stand Sproul seems
to be on a fair way to have all fac
tions favorable to him, although he is
not an avOwed candidate and the
chances of Wood or any one else pick
ing up delegates in a scattering way
seems to be materially lessened.
Party Differences Harmonixed.
Potential factors in republican state
affairs have harmoniZed differences
through the influence Of Sproul and
with a state ticket agreed upon and
no opposition to denomination of
Senator Boies Penrose in sight, they
are now working to get back some
of the congressional districts which
in 1918 elected democratic representa-
tives. Drives in three and possibly
four will start early next month.
Democratic organization plans to
assure election of Palmer delegates

by Palmer men are maturing, although
some subterranean work is being
done by elements opposed to the At

SACRAMENTO, Calf, January 81
The oover-for-President boom in
both parties continued to gain mo-
mentum in California this week. The
indications are that within few days
a movement will be launched to secure
for him instructed delegates to both
the republican and democratic conven-
tions.
Republican papers, such as the San
Francisco Chronicle and the Sacra-
nlento Bee. which are heartily sup
porting the candidacy of Senator
Hiram W. johnson, continue to throw
cold water on the idea that Hoover
has any general support in California,
but the tone of their editorial state
ments' shows all too plainly their in
creasing disquietude over the situa-
tion.
1t is significant. however. that the
Fresno Republican. whose editor
Chester Roweli. has been one of the
foremost johnson supporters in the
past, while not announcing its deser-
tion editorially. has. during the past
week. paid the highest tribute to the
character and work of Hoover. For
several weeks it has been exceedingly
silent on Johnson.
Announced Itself for Hoover
In the south. the Los Angeles Times,
leading anti-Johnson republican
paper. has formally announced itself
for Hoover and has added much to
the political gayety by reviving and
publishing the tributes Johnson paid
to the republican party during the 1912
Campaign
Both the Times and the Republican
have been stanch advocates of the
league of nations and the republican
swing to Hoover in California is based
on his advocacy of the league in op-
position to Johnson's bitter end posi-

VISIT HELPS HIS CAUSE
Friends Expect an Unrestricted
Republican Delegation to Go
to Chicago.

DENVER, Col, January 81 (Spe-

tightly drawn since the recent visit
of Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois
He came ostensibly to see the n.i-
tional western live stock show, being
a farmer and a stockman as well as
the chief executive Of Illinois He
evaded politics. Friends believe his
coming has assured an uninstructed
republican delegation of twelve from
Colorado to the Chicago convention.
One of the largest dailies boosted
Gen. John ]. Pershing for the repub-
lican nomination for President while
he was in the city, and comment SINCE
that time is that both Pershtng and
Gen. Leonard .Ioo1 might be elimi-
mated through a deadlocked delega-
ton. This would give the Lowden
supporters an opportunity to claim
the Colorado delegation. in the event
it's members went uninStructed.
The Wood supporters claim they
have captured the republican state
central Organization. but are taking
certain that Wood leaders are sent
to Chicago. The fact that Gov. Oliver
