WYOMING DEMOCRATS
MAY THROW UP HANDS
Few Nominations for Legislature
Indicate Hopelessness of Trying
to Win State From G. o. P.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. July 81 (Spe-
cialD Having come to the conclu-
sion. apparently. that it is a hopeless
task to try to wrest Wyoming away
from control of the republicans, the
democrats are in danger of letting
the 1920 election go practically by de-
fault. This was shown here when the
gong was rung on nominations for
the legislature In no less than thir-
teen of the twenty-one counties the
democrats have failed to place men
in running for one or both houses
of the legislature.
On the other hand, the republicans
have tickets virtually complete, and
the few vacancies will be filled long
befores November 2.
To make the situation even worse,
from the democratic viewpoint the
Cheyenne State Leader, their leading
mouthpiece in Wyoming, has just
been allowed to pass into the hands
of the Wyoming State Tribune, it's
republican rival, and will be pub
lished in future as independent. The
Leader had been backed by United
States Senator John B. Kendrick and
associates, but the high cost of print
paper was too much for them, and
they finally let it GO and washed
their hands of the whole affair.

FERR|S-GORE FIGHT
VIRTUALLY CLOSED
Most Bitter Campaign for
Senatorial Nomination Ever
Waged in Oklahoma.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.


OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, July %
most bitter campaign for a senatorial
nomination ever held in Oklahoma.
The two candidates are Senator T. P.
Gore. whose record as an obstruction
list of war measures is the issue, and
Scott Ferris, representative from the
sixth district. Ferris was chairman
of the national congressional cam
paign committee representative from
his district for twelve years and one
of the most popular men in public
life in Oklahoma Indications are that
Ferris will be nominated by plu-
rality of 10000 at the primary Au-
gust 5.
Fourteen candidates are in the field
for the republican nomination for the
Senate. The scramble is due to the
fact that many think that this is
such a strong republican year that
Oklahoma has a chance of giving the
republican presidential electors plu-
rality in November. If 1T were not
for the fact that Jake Hamon, nation
al committeeman. has split the re-
publicans in two, some think re-
publican success might be possible
ity. Among the candidates for the
republican nomination for the Senate,
j. w. HarrOldon, VINO surprised the
state by defeating Claude Weaver for
Congress in the democratic fifth dis
trict last November, seems to have
the best chance. Ernest Blake ana
A A Small of Tulsa also have con-
siderable followings.
Representative B. B. Howard, first
district; w. w. Hastings. second;
Charles D. Carter, third; Tom D.
! McKeown, fourth, and James V. Nc
Clintic. seventh, have no party OPP
T, position. -
The democratic nominee in the fifth
| district will be either Judge F. B.
Swank of Norman or Roy Stafford of
| Oklahoma City. In the sixth Elmer
Thomas of Lawton is the likely
winner.
Republican leaders failed in, their
effort to get the filings reopened in

LOUISVILLE. Ky. July 31.-Ap-
pointment of John L. Grayot of Mad
isonville. commemorative attorney
for twenty-three years in his district
and one of the best known politi-
clans in the state, as campaign man.
ager for the democratic party in Ken
lucky this fall has solidified all ele-
mentS of the party and the campaign
for Cox, Roosevelt and Beckham has
begun. Mr.. Grayot has had no eXper-
rience in conducting state wide cam
paignS, but the democratic state CEN
trail and executive committees are to
appoint chairmen of speakers, pub
llcity and organization bureaus to
aid the chief.
Having played an important part in
both national conventions and the
selection of two presidential tickets
it would seem certain that Kentucky
is destined to play equally as i'm
portant a part in the presidential
campaign. with the possibility that
its electoral vote shall decide which
of Ohio's favorite sons shall be the
next occupant of the White House.
With their apparent advantages OF
being in control of the state govern
ment and that of the metropolis, the
republicans go into the campaign with
more assurance than has been their
wont for many year, but the demo-
Gratis do not appear to be in the least
disheartened with such handicap,
pointing as they do to 1908, when the
same adverse conditions existed, yet
the state gave its vote to the demo-
cratic presidential ticket.
This year the democrats are TAX
ing a leaf from the republican book.
They are invading territory which has

Special Dispatch to The Star
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. July 31-That
the republicans in the Indiana cam
palgn propose to devote their atten-
ton principally to national issues.
rather than state issues. has been
pretty clearly indicated by the spe-
clal session of the Indiana legisla-
ture. 1t was supposed before the ses-
sion began that the political man.
ayers would be on the job and would
be doing all they could to hustle the
session along and dispose of emer-
gency matters. But on the contrary
Warren T McCray, the republican
nominee for governor was in the
city only short time and was hus-
tied away by political friends who
told him he could not afford to get
mixed up personally in the tax tangle
which the legislature was trying to
unravel.
Apparently the political managers
chose to let Gov. Goodrich fight it out
for himself, believing that if Indiana
is to be carried by the republicans
the trick will be turned by national
rather than state issues.
Considerable surprise was express
ed when, at the big democratic meet
ing at Thomas Taggart's French Lick
Hotel, John w. Hoffman of Indian
apoliS was chosen to be at the head
of the democratic state speakers bu-
reau. Mr.. Hoffman for years has
been an opponent of the Taggart fac
ton in democratic politics.
Gov. Cox, the democratic presiden-
tial nominee. has personally request
ed w. H. O'Brien of Indiana to take
charge of the democratic western
headquarters at Chicago. At the
French Lick meeting Mr.. O'Brien was
appointed Indiana's representative on
the executive committee of the ma
tional committee. O'Brien is a close
political ally of Taggart and it was
through Taggart's efforts that
O'Brien served as treasurer of the
democratic national committee sew
eral years ago.
Gov. Cox stole a march on the state
organization when he made special
arrangement for Senator Hitchcock
to open the national campaign in In
diana at Winona Lake, August II. In
diana democrats are wondering wheth-
er Gov Cox knew that Winona Lake,
gathering place for religious bodies,
is the special stamping ground OF

With the withdrawal of Alfred l.
du Pont from the state political field,
where he has been recognized as the
republican leader for the last four
years because of his strength in the
lower counties, the republicans Will
enter the campaign with united
front. According to Charles Warner,
state chairman. the independents,
who were aligned with Mr.. du Pont
have expressed their willingness to
forget any past differences.
Whether the democrats Will be able
to heal the breach in the party ranks
because of the feud between U. S
Senator Josiah O. Wolcott and form er
Senator willard Salisbury remains &c
be seen. Senator Salisbury had been
regarded as the democratic leader in
the state until the recent primaries
for the election of delegates to the

can, this fall, his desire is likely to

for republican leaders said here today
that Brandegee's nomination by the
state convention in September is
virtually assured. Up to date no one
has entered the field to oppose Brande-
gees nomination, and, notwithstand-
ing some differences of opinion on the

absolutely opposed, it is taken for

The first step in the direction of

nominate republican candidates for

senator, governor and other state
officers. was taken today when State
Chairman j. Henry Roraback called
a meeting of the state central com

for the purpose of fixing the date and
place of the convention. 1t is likely
that it will be held in Hartford about

inee for United States senator, but
for different reasons. The democrats
want him because they regard him
as their strongest candidate The re-
