Senatorial Contest.
The Withdrawal of Senator Harding
from the senatorial primary contest

Judge r. NJ. Wanamaker of the su-
preme court. former Gov. Frank B.
Willis and Walter F. Brown. John P.
Walser of Akron. the other entrant,
IS comparatively unknown and Is not
regarded as a factor in the contest.
Walter F. Brown was the state
leader OF the progressive party in
1919 and 1914 and Judge Wanamaker
was prominently identified with that
movement. though he was elected to
the supreme bench as an Independent.
For this reason 1t has been surmised
that WAnamaker may withdraw and
remain on the bench. leaving the
senatorial contest to be fought out
between Brown and former Gov.
probably be the candidate.

cratic national convention will select
Gov Cox to oppose him. and State
Chairman w. w. Durbfn is laying plans
for battle royal in that case to secure
the electoral vote Of the state. He has
already sent out word to the democratic
leaders In all the counties instructing
them to have candidates nominated for
every office to be filed. no matter how
trivial or how little the chances for dem
ocratic success. the object being to lend
every inducement possible to get the

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 10 (Spe-
ciaD.-The Tennessee delegation to
the democratic national convention at
San Francisco leaves tomorrow for
the scene. of convention activities.
There are twenty-four delegates and
twenty-four alternates, and the
former go uninstructed, except to vote
for the reelection of Judge Cordell
Hull as national committeeman, and
for the reelection Of Miss Charl
Williams of Memphis as associate.
The delegation goes prepared to
push Gen. Lawrence .; Tyson: late
Brigade, goth Division, for the vice
presidential nomination, the recent
state convention having given him an
Endorsement for that position. Gen.
Tyson is a Knoxville capitalist, a
West Point graduate, and a veteran
Of the 9Th United States Volunteers
in the war with Spain. Several years
ago he came within a few votes Of
becoming United States Senator.
The names Of Gov. James M. Cox
of Ohio and William G. McAdoo.
former Secretary of the Treasury. are
about the only names mentioned in
connection with the presidential
nomination in local political circles.
Since his election as one of the dele
gates from the state at large, Senator
K. d. Mcclellan in an interview in
Memphis has expressed the opinion
that McAdoo would prove a strong
contender for the nomination. The
ex-Secretary is known to have con-
siderable strength in Chattanooga,
which sent large marching club to
the state convention on June to
cheer for the former Tennessean, but
there is nothing to gauge the extent
of McAdoo sentiment in other parts

Party leaders about Nashville have

for the nomination. w. E. BEARD.

Pennsylvania is to be organized to

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS

Republicans Not Enthusiastic, But

special Dispatch to The Star
LOUISVILLE, KY, June 19,-While
republicans seem content-not enthu-
siastic. tits true. but satisfed-with
the choice OF their national conyen-
ton at Chicago. democrats hereabouts
are elated. Not that they think the
less of Warren G. Harding as a candi-
date. but that they believe before
their party at; San Francisco lies the
great opportunity. The opportunity
lies not SO much in the candidate,
they seem to believe-although they
are constrained to insist that he be
no demagogue and not under the in
fiuence Of William Jennings Bryan
but in the declaration of principles
upon which the candidate is to stand.
Kentucky democrats-and especially
Louisville members of the party and
the Louisville democratic papers-are
antagonistic to the Nebraskan In
order to impress the nation, they hold,
the convention should in no particular
be controlled by Mr.. Bryans personal
ambitions.
State leaders-those who took part
in the Chicago convention and
others-were surprised at the Hard
ing choice. They were so sure Of
Lowden that delegates departing laid
wagers of even money, Lowden
against the field. This, of course. was
confidence in A. T. Hert, Kentucky's
national committeeman. Many Ken
lucky republicans feel that the plat
form is ideally suited to the candi-
date. They feel that while the can
didate is SPLENDID American citi-
zen, he is no superman. The country
wants no more supermen, they say.
They cheer the name Of Roosevelt,
but what the country needs is a Nc

lieve, will take good advice" II

With Favor.

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 19.-The
democrats of South Carolina have
received with considerable satisfac-
ton the nomination of Harding and
Coolidge by the republican party. Sat
isfaction because they think several
combinations in the democratic party
can beat it. and even if elected neither
of the nominees would be objectiona-
BILE to many democrats in South Caro-
lima. Indeed, one well informed man
has made the statement that 70 pei
cent of the democrats would ike "a
vote for Harding and Coolidge, II
they dared to do SO.
Expressions here are to the enect
that the nominees are excellent men,
but they represent the most conserva-
tive element in the republican party
and stand for the principles of the
party as it existed before the days OF
Roosevelt
Sentiment here among the demo-
Gratis is much divided between Nc
Adoo and Cox. If these two could be
nominated as President and vice
President. respectively, on the demo-
cratic ticket South Carolina demo-
Gratis would be delighted. McAdoo has
the largest personal following. On
every side one hears the expression
that McAdoo has more sense than
ANYBODY" and that he could carry
into practical effect the ideals of the
democratic party, which have been
made concrete by the present occu-
pant of the White House. But there
las been a shifting toward Cox for
first place on the ticket because Of the
feeling that this may be necessary
to carry Ohio, unless Cox would ac-
cent second place.
Local politics is not causing mucn
concern. Gov. Cooper is to have no
opposition for a second term. and
there will be few contests Tor state

Representatives Stevenson. Byrnes,
Dominick and Stoll are not likely to
have opposition or none that Will

orally expected that selection would
be made. At Chicago the New York
republican leaders found plenty to

situation in this state, but they were
not successful.

is whether they will be strong enough
to eliminate him.
