Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. April 10-If
it so happens that Gov. Lowden
makes a poor showing in Illinois next
Tuesday-that is, if he wins by a
small plurality-the stock of Senator
Harding in Indiana undoubtedly will
go up. There has already been some
talk of a switch to Harding as a re-
suit of the Michigan primaries, where
Lowden ran third.
Several weeks ago the old line or
ganization, which is backing the vari-
Gus anti-Wood candidates in order to
prevent Wood from getting a ma
Jority in Indiana, apparently dropped
the Harding candidacy. Senators
Watson and New still remained
friendly to Harding, but there seemed
to be a sort of tacit understanding
that the powers of the anti Wood
men would be conferred in favor of
Lowden's candidacy.
The people who are backing Low
den, including Gov. Goodrich, who all
along has been counted as a Lowden
man, were greatly discouraged by
the poor showing made by Lowden In
Michigan. Harding's friends since the
Michigan primary have been in high
spirits. They say that because Hard
ing has remained out of the primary
states he is a much stronger candi-
date. They are also pointing out to
the anti-Wood politicians who are be-
hind Lowden that q good showing in
Indiana for Harding is the one thing
necessary to make him formidable In

BOSTON. April 10 (SpeciaD.-So far

Wood in Michigan and the result of

very little. Victory of the unpledged
delegates in New York may help the
unpledged delegation here. which is

felt that unless the Johnson men
completely control the convention
Senator Lodge will be elected chair
man.
The Johnson men are few and far

1t Is rather surprising that they have
not made more of a campaign, for
Johnson was well received during his
trip through New England and there
was every reason to believe that he
would make strong campaign for

Mr.. REEDS VIEWS
| ON LEAGUE COSTLY
Attitude Loses Him Backers
for Election as Conven-
ton Delegate.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. April 10 Especially.
An announcement by Senator Reed
| in st. Louis early in the week that
he would not accept election as a
delegate at large to the democratic
national convention if he were bound
by instructions to support an indorse-
ment of the league of nations has. in
the opinion of informed democratic
politicians, made doubly certain that
as a delegate from Missouri.
The fight on Reed which has been
spontaneous throughout the state, and
which has resulted in condemnation
Of his opposition to the administra-
ton in more than fifty counties and
an Endorsement of his position in
none, has reached a stage where 1t is
considered very doubtful il his friends
! could bring about any situation which
would induce the convention, which
Is to be in Joplin April %, to even
permit him to go as delegate from
his own congressional district-the
fifth.
In this connection there is consider
able speculation among democrats as
to whether his announcement cannot
be construed to mean that he would
not feel bound by instruction from
the convention II elected as a district
delegate. He made no reference to
going as a district delegate. but re-
Gently several of his friends, who nave
been attempting to stem the tlde OF
opposition to him by urging that he
should go from his district instead of
as a delegate at large. have taken the
position that the state convention mao
no right to dictate to q congressional
district who its delegates could be.
From this attitude opponents OF
Reed today are arguing that II Heso
does not concede the right OF the
state convention to pass on distrlct
delegates he could readily take the
position that it had not the rlght 70
instruct district delegates. Under the
call for the state convention district
delegates are merely recommended to
the state convention for election.
The controversy over Reed is easily
the commanding political issue IN
Missouri. 1t is threatening to dls-
rupt the party. Reed hav,ng ;c,, ,nat
in Kansas City and St Louis some
of these are openly declaring that II
Reed is Inundated at Joplin they VIII
not vote the democratic ticket
though there has not been an intima-
ton that Reed Is encouraging them
in this attitude. In fact, his counsei
has been that they remain democrats.
Municipal elections Tuesday gave no
indication of the trend of politics In
Kansas CITY the democratic majority
was reduced from 1000 to 1900, but
there is a belief that this was due large
ly to the democratic organization there
having little interest In candidate for
mayor In some quarters it Is con-
sidered as a warning to the state that
the organization will go against the
state and national ticket if Reed is
snubbed. In St. Joseph a republican
succeeds q democrat for mayor, but the
majority was small. There was no cleo
ton in st. Louis.

McAD00 RISES AS HOOVER

The definite alignment Of Herbert

been grateful news to the democratic
party managers in South Carolina.
They have always demanded dyed

nominee. and would have received
with iii disguised discomfort Mr.
Hoover or any other uncertain party
adherent. The people generally would
have been pleased to accept Mr.
Hoover as the nominee Of the demo-
cratic party, because they knew much
of him and relied upon his capacity,

been a supporter Of President Wilson.

lieve to be the embodiment Of all that is
good and patriotic in America.
With the obliteration of Mr.. Hoover,
and he is obliterated SO far as South
Carolina is concerned. McAdoo stock
has risen perceptibly. Indeed, he is
now about the only candidate spoken
of. But the South Carolina democrats
are not tied to the chariot of any
man, and their delegates will likely
go to the national convention instruct
ed, so far as instructions go, to vote
for the man most likely to win the
presidency. And at present writing
the people here-and that means the
democratic party-feel that 1t will be

do not win the next national election.
