WOOD ADHERENTS HAVE
HARD FIGHT IN ALABAMA
Gov. Lowden's Friends Likely to

MONTGOMERY, Ala. January )
(Special).-With the publication in
The Washington Star and one Ala
bama newspaper of the story that
Gen. Leonard Wood was apt to cap
ture the republican delegation from
this state at the Chicago convention
comes the more likely story that
there will be a hard fight before any
such thing is accomplished. Henry
Irwin, one of the leading republican
politicians of the state, strongly indi-
Gates that Gov. Lowden of Illinois
will be his choice in case he goes to
the convention. and it is admitted
here that he will have big influence
when it comes to naming the delega-
ton.
The republicans will meet here
within a short time, and the delega-
tion to Chicago will be picked. but
not until county and district conven-
tions have been held. Irwin says
that Lowden has big hold on the
Alabama situation, and the first regu-
lar call when the states are called
| for nominations will swing to his
side of the house.

minority, now show much more life

Sentiment FOR WOOD
GROWS IN RHODE ISLAND
Men Who Seek to CrygtAllize
Strength Mostly War Veterans.
Count on Soldier Vote.

PROVIDENCE, r. L, january 3
tSpeciaD.-Wood sentiment is devel-
oping rapidly in Rhode island and
plans are nearing completion for the
formation Of an organisation and the
formal launching of boom.
The men who are seeking to crys-
tallize the Wood strength are, for the
most part, veterans of the world war,
and they expect, they say, to receive
the support Of large section Of the
soldier vote. There is considerable
wood strength also among republi-
cans most bitter against President
wilson. These men say that the ad-
ministration has not given Gen. Wood
fair deal and that they would like
to give him a chance to "get back"
The Wood boom in Rhode Island
Will be in the hands Of aggressive and
experienced men and the strength Of
the soldier vote will possibly make it
formidable factor as the campaign
progresses. Although Frederick s.
Peck, the recently elected Rhode
,ionai Of the
have been impressed by the Wood
strength at the last meeting Of the
committee in Washington. the state
republican organization IL as yet
passive toward all candidates and, IL
the seasoned leaders Of the party have
their way. Rhode Island will again
send An unpledged delegation to the
republican national convention.
Senator Miles Poindexter will open
his campaign for the presidency in
this state on January 20, when he will
speak before the annual meeting Of
the Employers Association, an or
ganization representing q large part
OF the invested capital Of the state.
Senator Johnson appeared here last
February at the beginning of his
Speaking tour, and his opposition to
the league of nations at that time
provoked big demonstration.
There is Coolidge strength in evil
dence and Lowden and Harding cir
culars have appeared in the state. It
Is believed that the state delegation
to the republican national conven-
ton will support Senator Lodge for
temporary and permanent chairman.

CONTEST IN MISSOURI
FOR ALEXANDER'S SEAT
Republicans Hopeful of Carrying
Third District, Which Is Dem
ocratic Stronghold.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. January Especially.
The calling by Gov. Gardner of a spe-
cial election February IA in the third
congressional district to select sue
cessor to former Representative Alex
ander, now Secretary Of Commerce,
has served to center virtually all of
the interest Of politicians in the third
district situation. State Chairman
Cole and republican party leaders
have in a conference decided to make
a vigorous campaign to elect q repub-
lican, although the district has been
democratic in every election for many
years.
The republicans believe that II they
can carry the district. or even reduce
materially the democratic majority,
which usually 10 about 5000, but
which in 1918 was only 1900, there
will be a psychological effect which
will be beneficial to the republicans
in the 1920 general election.
A democratic convention will be
held in the district January 81 to
choose the nominee. The date Of the
republican convention has not been
licans will have a primary. though
that is not probable. Candidates for
the democratic nomination are Capt
]. L. Milligan of Richmond. Charles
f. Yancey Of Liberty. j. w. Sullinger
of King City and L. w. Reed of
Breckenridge. Republican candidates
are Joseph E. Black Of Richmond and
Frank s. Klepinger of Rockport.

expected to be enlivened within the

and district conventions.
The republican state committee will
be called to meet shortly to call the
state and district conventions Of that
party. So far there have been no ap-
parent attempts to line up the organ
| ization Of either party in Missouri for
any candidate, but efforts along this
line are expected as soon a. the date
Of the conventions to select delegates

INDIANA REPUBLICANS

Hays viii Control Organization.
Watson's Speech Wins
Approval.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January
Especially AS a result Of conferences
that were held here last week by Ma
tional Chairman Hays. Senators New
and Watson. Gov. Goodrich, state
Chairman wasmuth and others, it is
said to be certain that the control OF
the state organization Of republicans
will remain as it is now and this means
that National Chairman Hays Will con-
tinue as the big influence. Al these
conferences Senator Watson Is said to
have relinquished all desire to control
the state organization and he also de-
clared that he would support loyalty
for the presidential nomination any re-
publican who is indorsed at the presi-
dental primaries. and added that ne
would be glad to support Gov. Goodrich.
His statements were greeted with ap-
plause by those present, who included,
in addition to the leaders, also members
OF the state committee and prominent
editors. Gov Goodrich, who was at
the conference, made a speech. but
did not say whether his name would be
presented at the presidential primaries.

tion. Whether he will attempt to get
Lowden's name on the primary ballot
is not known, but 1t is believed his
efforts will be confined to working UP
favorable sentiment for Lowden, so
the latter may have chance for the
indiana delegation in case the ef-
forts of Gov. Goodrich seem hopeless
in the national convention.

Wood Boom Pnramount.
There is no doubt that the Wood
boom Is now paramount in Indiana.
Whether Wood will be able to hold
this leading place as the primaries
and the national convention approach
is another question. Some even be-
lieve that if Wood holds his own he
will be in a position to go into the
primaries opposing Gov. Goodrich for
endorsement. Unbiased observers
however. say that this is rather
optimistic view. Also there is NO
indication that Wood will attempt to
enter the preference primary. ~
