MONTANA DEMOCRATS
FACE A SERIOUS SPLIT
If Non-Partisan League Defeats
Them in Primaries, May Sup

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HELENA, Mont. August 14.-Mon-
tana will choose her four presidential
electors August "a. This somewhat
startling statement does not mean that
Montana has seeded from the Union and
set up national election Of her own
1t is merely that the primaries Of Au-
gust "a will probably decide which party
is to prevail in the state next Novem-
Der.
The democrats face serious split.
They have filed a complete state ticket
headed by w. w. Mcdowell OF Butte
now lieutenant governor. for governor
Against this ticket is set up by the Nom
Partisan League and the radical labor
factions controlled by w. F. Dunn of
Butte ticket headed by B. K Wheeler.
also of Butte. Wheeler was formerly
United States district attorney OF Nom
tana, but was not reappointed during
the war. because Of pressure brought to
bear on Washington by his opponents.
who declared he had been lax in en-
forcing the sedition acts. Dunn was
convicted in the lower court of sedi-
ton, but the case was thrown back on
a technicality by the supreme court.
If Wheeler wins in the primaries
the old-line democrats will inevitably
fall elections is the prophecy The
race, in any event, would have been
close, and with the n. P. L.. mas
duerading as democrats. constituting
themselves as the state nominees OF
that party, the real democrats would
be obliged. as a vote of protest, to
cast their ballots with the opposition.
Among the handful of republican
candidates for governor is former
United States Senator Joseph NJ.
Dixon of Missoula.
At the primary, congressman, the
state assembly and full state and
county tickets and the state and
county judiciary will be voted on.
Because of the length of the ballot,
it is thought ten days may eiapse
before the entire result Is known.
and if 1T is close, the count may go
to the state examining board. as it
has been found in the past that a due
per cent of outlying precincts never
report to the press, but seal their
returns and send them in to the coun-
ty clerks, who. under the law, must
then forward them to the state board
There is practically only one issue
in the primary-whether the Non.
Partisan League-labor ticket shall
control the state. In the event the
radicals are beaten, it is said, they
will file Independently, later, and run
as the farmer-labor party. which is
expected to file candidates fol
electors in this state later.

Noted Speakers to Take Stump
Against Rainey-State Interested
in Suffrage Fight in Tennessee.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MONTGOMERY. Ala, August IL
Expressing the opinion that the
seventh Alabama district will have a
republican representative in Congress
Representative l. v. Rainey, repub-
Hcan headquarters of the state are
planning to have noted speakers
stump the seventh during the next
few weeks. Senator Watson of In
diana, republican. has agreed to come
into Alabama and speak for C. B.
Kennamer, the republican opponent
Of Mr.. -Rainey. The republicans are
negotiating for other speakers, who
probably will also invade the tenth
Alabama district in support of w.
L. Chanault, opponent of Representa-
tive w. B. Bankhead.
The seventh district always has
worried the democrats of Alabama.
John L. Burnett, deceased. always
had to make two hard fights in the
seventh. one for nomination and an
other for election. Mr.. Rainey has
served one term in the House. and
now is having to fight hard political
who is getting the backing of strong
men Of the district.
Interest in Suffrage Fight.
Republicans and democrats alike
were interested during the week in
the outcome of the woman suffrage
fight in Tennessee. Both considered
ratification absolutely essential to
party success in November. They
did not believe another state in the
Union would ratify before the gen.
eral election, and for this reason in
tereSt was greater.
Gov. Thomas E. Kilby and his ad-
visors. the legal department, were in
terested in the outcome, because Ala
bama is without laws which would
regulate voting in the general cleo
ton if Tennessee ratified. 1t was the
opinion of constitutional lawyers that
an election in Alabama under present
laws would be in direct violation of
the United States Constitution. and.
therefore, would be an illegal cleo
ton. Gov. Kilby is expected to call
an extra session of the legislature
for the enactment of measures for
elections when the required number
of states have ratified the woman
suffrage measure.

Thought He Was Baker.
For instance, a man was picked up
on the street not long ago, insisting
he was a close relative of the Presi :
dent. He gave as his reasons for this
belief that che had seen it in the
paper" He further declared he was
on arriving at the Washington Asy-
lum startled the doctor who received
him by the question:
DO you know the Secretary of War
when you see him?"
To the doctors affirmative reply the
man said: Il am he"
Another man came to see the Presi-
dent, insisting he was an alien enemy,
had been confined in jail during the
war and had been shot by the United
States authorities.
A woman came to Washington the
other day to see the President. She
told a policeman that three people
were using her face-that she knew
who they were and that these people,
disguised, made use of her face to
steal. All New York city, she said,
knew about it and sympathized with
her.

A man was taken into custody at
Union station by an officer not long
ago and sent to the Washington
Asylum for observation. The officers

chest X-rayed, after which he in
tended to see the President.
At the Washington Asylum it was
lunatic from an asylum in Wiscon-
sin. Instead Of trying to conceal his
identity, he came to Washington
seemingly unafraid of capture.
Some time ago one of those con-
fined for observation at the WASH
ington Asylum escaped from his cell.
Instead of making good his escane
he calmly hunted Tor the nurse. anI

GOV. COX WILL INVADE
+. ENEMYS Stronghold
Democratic Presidential Nominee
Will Make One of Earliest
Speeches in Pennsylvania.
pecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispat ch to The Star.
HARRISBURG, Pa. August IA
For the first time in many years a
democratic nominee for the presidency
will make in Pennsylvania one of the
earliest of his campaign speeches out
side of his home state. Gov. Cox is
to speak in Pittsburgh, August IS, and
the democratic state committee has
been summoned to meet him, while the
unofficial call has gone out for county
leaders to gather in Pittsburgh on that
day. 1t is expected to announce at
that time the personnel of the commit
tee to finance the campaign, unless
plans are changed.
Pennsylvania democrats are attach
ing great Importance to the Pittsburgh
visit of the nominee. as they expect
20 unite various western Pennsylvania
elements in his support and are plan
nlng to have the Ohio governor speak
later in Philadelphia and various
places in the anthracite region. Their
pans Tor an aggressive campaign in
pennsylvania are being closely studied
by the republican leaders. in spite of
the enormous republican ma jority.
The republican campaign is depend
ing TO great extent upon the progress
OF Senator Boise Penrose toward re-
covery. The senator is gradually get
ting the threads of the republican or
! ganlZa ton back into his hands and
details of campaign plans are being
discussed with him by nominees and
leaders. The PenroSe control seems to
be as undisputed as it was four years
ago.
The Other Parties.
The farmer-iabor party has pre-
empted right to use that name mainly
IN the anthracite region and in the
transformations section, but has
thus far filed only single legislative
nomination. The party's candidate
for state treasurer has declined to
serve, saying he was named against
I, his will. The new party's organiza-
! ton does not appear to be making
rapid strides, even in mining sections
and in the farming districts little has
been heard of il. The socialist party
| national candidates have been touring
! the state, paying special attention to
! the Reading district where the social
| lists are struggling to elect Legislators.
| Plans of the prohibition party in re-
4 gard to vacancies on congressional and
! legislative tickets are being awaited
with interest, as i'm a number OF dis
tricts the prohibition vote may be an
important balancing factor.
But the great interest in Pennsyl-
| vania, now that Senator Penrose is get
| ting well, is. why are the democrats
| planning such an aggressive preSiden-
| tial campaign in the keystone state.

7. c. Jennings, Texas state labor
commissioner, reports an increase of
about 10 per cent in Texas child labor
over last year. Postponement of COM
pulsory school attendance, he says, has
been a factor.
State Labor Commissioner Claude
E. Connally of Oklahoma says more
violations of child labor laws have
been brought to the attention Of his
office this year than previously, from
which he deduces an increase in juve-
nile workers. Connally said the in
crease in violations was probably due
to the fact that there was 80 per cent
more jobs in the state than workers.
A. L. Urick, Iowa state labor COM
missioner. recently reported that ap-
proximately 1,0o8 more permits had
been issued in the past year to child
dren between the ages Of fourteen and
sixteen than in the year previous.
Kansas and North Dakota report
child labor in those states as almost
negligible. St. Louis reports a de-
crease. Children now employed in
that city are stated to number $500,
which is 759 less than were at work
there year ago. The state factory
inspectors office says the decrease is
general all over the state. The fed
eral tax on child labor is given as
the cause of the decrease
