WOOD DELEGATION FROM
KANSAS is UNLIKELY
Gov. Lowden Gains Strength, But
Delegates Probably Will Go to
Convention Uninstructed.

TOPEKA. Kan, January "a (Spe-
ciaD.-The movement for an in
structed delegation for Gen. Wood for
President from Kansas suffered a
heavy setback this week when the OPP
position forced the retirement of W.
Y. Morgan of Hutchinson as candi-
date for one of the four delegates at
large. Morgan has been a leading
Wood organizer in the state and was
figured on the big four.
In Kansas it still is Wood against
the field for President, but with lit
tie chance of an instructed delega-
ton. Gov. Lowden of Illinois is de-
veloping considerable strength for the
republican nomination, but claims OF
his supporters that he will poll half
the votes on the Kansas delegation
are not justified at this time. The
state administration forces. having in
the background always the POSSIBLE
ity that Gov. Henry Allen may de-
velop as a possible candidate for the
vice presidential nomination. are
against any instructed delegation.
William Allen White of Emporia
was regarded as a probable selection
as delegate at large two months ago.
White now is insisting that Gov. AL
len is presidential timber and the
Wood supporters are quietly stirring
up the old 1912 row in the fourth
district to quietly shelve White as a
delegate to the convention.

COvERNOROF NAMES
ACTION WAS EXPECTED
Friends Knew Milliken Contem-
plated Seeking Third Term;
Other G. 0. P. Candidates.

AUGUSTA, Me-, January "a Especially.
The recent announcement by Gov. Carl
E. Milliken that he would be candidate
for third term, thereby breaking all
traditions of the republican party in this
state. was not unexpected, as it had
been known for some weeks to the
close personal and political friends of
the governor that she contemplated
such step. OF course there is ques-
ton as to how the third term idea
will be received by the voters at the
third Monday of next June. There are
two other avowed candidates for the
republican nomination for governor,
Col. Frederic H. Parkhurst of Ban
gor, formerly chairman of the repub-
lican state committee, and Judge John
Percy Deering of Saco. a member of
the present state senate. At one time
it was believed that ex-Representative
Frank F.. Guernsey of the fourth dis
ernorship. but his friends today as
serted that he never had any intention
of entering the contest.
Gov. Milliken was first nominated
for governor in the republican pri
mary of 1916, when he polled approx
votes ahead Of his nearest competitor.
Col. Frederic H. Parkhurst of Bangor,
in a field of four candidates. the other
candidates being Edward w. Wheeler
of Brunswick and Timothy F. Gala
han of Lewiston. Gov. Milliken was
renominated without opposition in
1918 and reelected, but by smaller
margin than in 1916
There seems now to be no question
but that the democratic candidate for

of Norway, formerly chairman of the
board of state assessors. who was the
standard bearer of the party in the
campaign Of 1918.
A careful survey of the presidential
situation in this state from a repub-
lican standpoint seems to favor the
candidacy of Gen. Leonard Wood, al
though there is sentiment here and
there for Gov. Calvin Coolidge of Mas
sachusetts. Gen. Wood recently paid
a visit to Maine. speaking at Portland.
and he made a most favorable impress
sion. Republican state conventions
have never-not even in the days OF
Blaine-instructed their delegates to
national convention to vote for this
candidate or that candidate.
idea of having the democratic ma
tional convention as far west as San
Francisco. and it is not believed that
there will be much of representa-
ton from this state at that conven-
ton. AS a matter of fact, most demo-
Gratis in Maine are poorer financially
than their republican brethren. and
they figure that a trip to the coast
will last for at least three weeks and
will eat up $1,000 because of the in
creased cost of railroad fares and no.
tel bills over four years ago. There
does not seem to be much interest as
to the democratic presidential nomi-
nee, although there are a few support
ers in this state for Gov. James M.
Cox Of Ohio and Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania. A
little sentiment grew up for Herbert
c. Hoover. the national food admin
istrator, but the impression gained
ground that he was republican in
politics, SO the boom of Mr.. Hoover
has apparently faded

Arrests for drunkenness decreased
