TACOMA, Wash, September 25
Republican and democratic new
state committees will meet early
next week and select party Of
ficers who will have charge of the
state congressional and national cam
paigns. The democrats will re-elect
George Christensen, according to
present plans, as state chairman, but
the republican party is facing fight
because of factional differences.
Chairman S. "A. Walker is accused of
having favored too strongly one Of
the gubernatorial pre-primary can

posing him. Charles Hebberd of
Spokane, state food administrator
during the war. will probably be
selected. with three tickets in the
ring. Voters are showing a most
marked apathy this year. republican
hard work in efforts to inject spirit
and dash into the campaign. The
visit of Gov. Cox failed to arouse
the democrats. and Senator Harding
Jared little better with the repub-
licans.
On the other hand. the farmer-labor
party has launched it's campaign.
This element, however, represents
only a small minority Of the total
vote.
Reports from various sections of
the state indicate that Washington
will give a republican majority in
the presidential fight and will elect
the straight state ticket, with only
two hard fights, one on the United
States senator and the other on the
governor.
All representatives in Congress
will have but slight opposition. The
fight will center around Wesley L.
Jones for the Senate and Louis F.
Hart for governor.
The farmer-labor ticket has named
Robert Bridges. a former democrat,
against Hart for governor. The farm
er-labor ticket candidate for the Sem
ate, C. ]. France, and the democratic
candidate, George F. Cotterill. are
both vote getters. Jones, however,
is figured as the leading candidate
at this time.

ON IRISH RESOLUTION
William E. Ryan Challenges State
ment Credited to Gov.
Cox.

William E. Ryan of Washington
and New York. representing Pearce
Branch, Friends of Irish Freedom,
this city, in telegram to Senator
Harding today. challenged the state
ment attributed to Gov. Cox in a
speech at Denver on Friday, in which
Cox was quoted as saying:
at came with i'll grace for Senator
Harding to refer to the Senate reso-
luton expressing sympathy with Ire
land, because he failed to vote for
that resolution"
Mr.. Ryan claims to have inspired
the Borah resolution, which was
unanimously reported by the Senate
foreign relations committee. of which
Senator Lodge was chairman and
Senator Harding a member. There
was only one dissenting vote in the
Senate-that Of Senator John Sharp
Williams.
The Borah resolution called upon
President Wilson to receive in Paris
the American delegation, consisting
of Walsh, Dunno and Ryan, that they
might argue for the Irish delegates
being granted a hearing and safe
conduct to and from the Paris peace
conference.
Mr.. Ryan, in his telegram to Sena-
tor Harding, said:
Cox is guilty of a deliberate false
hood about your vote, or is grossly
ignorant once again. You voted for
the Borah resolution"

G. o. P. DISC0RD MAKES
new MEXICO UNCERTAIN
Believed Republicans Will Win -
Gov. Larrazolo Remains Neu-
tral-Democrats Hopeful

SANTA FE. N. NJ. September %
tspeciaD.-Political experts lack a
vast deal of being in agreement as r.
the result of the election in Ne,,
Mexico. on both national and state
tickets. Gov. o. A. Larrazolo was de-
feated and Judge Merritt c. Mechem
nominated by the republicans for
governor in the tensest. most dra-
matte session that has been staged in
a state convention in New Mexico
Inc hrst serious. organized opposi-
ton to the denomination of Gov. Lar
razolo was in the Spanish-American
counties, and the sentiment was Gre
ated by Spanish-Americans. This op-
position became SO widespread that it
alarmed republican leaders. who
made careful study of the situation.
The consensus of opinion was that
it would be extremely dangerous to
try to nominate LarraZolo for gov
ernor, but that it would be- safe to
nominate him for representative in
Congress. This compromise the COVER
nor fatty rejected.
The prevailing opinion now is that
the most the republican organization
may hope for is to have Gov. LARA
Zolo remain neutral and not fight his
ticket. If he will keep hands off, the
presidential electors and the state
liShCl nave UellcT ludu d
chance for success.
Judge Mechem never has been a po-
litical worker. Judge r. H. Hanna. his
opponent, has been active in political
work since be left the republican
party in 1911 to accept the democratic
nomination for the supreme bench. He
was elected by 1873 votes. In 1918,
after having served one term of seven
years, he was defeated for reelection
by 1862 votes. Democrats declare that
his victory this time will be over
whelming. while republicans assert
that his defeat will be even more i'm
pressive than in 1918.

secret of the fact that they are after

MANY COLORED WOMEN
REGISTERED IN FLORIDA
Republicans Apparently Making a
Determined Effort to Capture
Some of the Local Offices.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, September
20 Especially All over the state the
negro women are being herded to the
registration officers and qualifying to
vote in the general election. AS vet
there seems to be a strong disincli-
nation on the part of the white
women to take up>the burden that
has been thrust upon them by their
ambitious sisters. That the vote of
the negro women is likely to prove a
very serious menace to the solid
south" is certain, and the democratic
leaders are doing their utmost to get
the white women registered. In some
FLORIDA counties the registration
books show majority of negro
women over white women, and while
the figures also show on the books
very larger democratic majority,
there is determined effort appar-
ent being made by the republicans to
capture some offices, local or state,
and possibly some representative may

1t is stated that great effort will
be made to elect a republican repre-
sentative in place of Frank Clark,
representative from the second dis
triet, and in county politics various
officials, nominated by the democrats
Will be strongly opposed.
The republican party in the state is
still divided into three factions. but
as the great mass of republican
voters-mainly negroes-are ignorant
to degree. they will all likely vote
for the presidential electors desig-
mated by what is called the black and
tan faction.
The adoption of the nineteenth
amendment, always opposed by
Florida, has upset the state to such
an extent as never experienced here
since the days of Reconstruction"
The usual program has been to end a
campaign after the democratic pri-
mary, and the vote in the general
election has often been less than
polled at the party primary. 1t will
be different this year.
