|NCL|NES TO WOOD
State Leaders Contemplate,
Sending Uninstructed
Delegation.

BALTIMORE, Md, January 10 (Spe-
ciaD.-Though there are still evil
dences of a drift among Maryland re-
publicans toward Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, nothing has occurred as yet to
indicate that the boom for the general
has made much material headway in
| these parts. The state organization
chiefs are still sitting tight, waiting,
with the idea OF sending an unin-
structed delegation to the national
convention unless the national lead
ers meanwhile ,ttle upon man.
Senator Harding and Gov. Lowden
have their friends in Maryland as well
as has Gen. Wood, and as there is no
strong tide for any single man as yet,
it looks as though the state leaders
will be able to swing the rank and
file into line when they get ready to
act.
Poll Taken at Annapolis.
A poll taken at Annapolis on the
opening day of the Maryland legisla-
ture, last Wednesday. and published
in Baltimore newspaper. showed
Wood in the lead among republican
members of the general assembly,
though Harding and Lowden and
Senator Johnson also came IN FOR in
The democrats of the Legislature
showed a disinclination to register
their views, but of those who did
state a preference. the majority ia
vored Hoover and Palmer. In view OF
William Jennings Bryan's plunge into
the spotlight this week it is interest
ing to note that, so far as the senti-
ment among democrats in the Mary
land legislature is concerned, he re-
ceived just one vote, whereas Hoover
received eight and Palmer seven. A
few old followers of the commoner
were represented as having spoken
affectionately of him, however.
Against Woman Suffrage.
While the convening of the 1920 ses-
sion of the legislature had a tendency
to turn the minds of Marylanders
from national politics, the event at
the same time brought out evidences
of an open clash by Maryland demo-
Gratis with the national platform max
ers over the question of woman suf-
frage. The state democrats are openly
against woman suffrage and so many
republicans are,declared to lean in the
same direction that the federal
amendment has not a chance OF being
ratified by Maryland.

LOWDEN HOLDS BACK
AS TO WEST VIRGINIA
Will Not Bid for States Support
if Senator Sutherland Is
Candidate.

CHARLESTON. w. Va, January 10
SpeciaD.-Whether or not Gov.
Frank o. Lowden of Illinois will
make a bid for West Virginia repub-
lican Endorsement in the primary de-
pends entirely upon the momentum
the presidential boom of Senator
Howard Sutherland of this state at
tains in the near future.
This decision Of the Illinois aspirant
to the White House was announced
this week by Senator W. H. H. MIL
ler Of the twenty-fourth Illinois dis
tr1ct and a native of Upshur county,
this state, who admits that he was
sent into West Virginia to sound out
LoWden sentiment among the G. o. p.
day he announced his intention of
spending some time in West Virginia
IN the interest of the Lowden candi-
dacy. In case Senator Sutherland
comes out fiat foot as candidate for
the republican nomination for Presi-
tc contest for the support of the West
virginia delegation. Senator Miller
says. He predicted that Gov. Lowden
will have the solid backing of South
Dakota, Iowa, Michigan and Illinois.
and that he is the favorite candidate
There is all sorts Of gossip among
West Virginia republican leaders
concerning the boom for Senator
Sutherland and consequently there
have been few expressions of sup
port for avowed candidates Senator
Sutherland's most intimate political
friends say they do not know what
his Intentions are concerning the
presidential race. AS things stand
now. Gen. Wood continues to be the
most favorably talked of.
Compared with activity of the repub-
licans, the democrats of West Vir-
ginia are exceedingly quiet. During
the last week. however, the name Of
Adam B. Littlepage Of Kanawha
county. recent representative from the
sixth district, has persistently bob
bed up as possible candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor.
The names of ]. B. Stephenson of
Huntington and w. c. McConnoughy
of Parkersburg nave also been men
toned in this connection.
The contest within the republican
ranks for agubernatorial honors is
waxing warm between Col. Fred Paul
Grosscup and Judge e. r. Morgan,
who recently retired as a member of
the public service commission. It is
really an avowed. .threescornered fight

commissioner, putting up q strong

Especial l).-According to surface indi-
cations Delaware democrats would
accept Herbert Hoover as a presiden-
tial possibility with open arms should
he declare himself along party lines.
After the Jackson day dinner held at
Washington sentiment was more or
less crystallized throughout the state.
Following the beginning of a faction
al fight as to whether former United
States Senator Willard Salisbury
shall retain his position on the demo-
cratic national committee or whether
the honor be given to United States
Senator Josiah o. Wolcott, the senior
representative of the state in the SEN
ate, a division as to possible candi-
dates was also discernible.
Those in touch with former Senator
Salisbury claim he is not a Bryan
man nor at present has he any par
to say the possibility Of President
Wilson running for a third term Is
never discussed among the democrats
Of the state. Party leaders consider
the William G. McAdoo boom an
anomalous thing not to be seriously
taken into account in reckoning presi-
Dental possibilities.
While no public expression has been
made by any of the state organize
tions Of the republicans, the Gen.
Wood boom seems to be gaining
strength. 1t Is understood from good
sources that the Independent faction
Of the party, headed by A. /. du
Pont, favors Gen. Woods candidacy,
this choice may also be agreeable to
the old guard il the two factions can
agree on a delegate to represent the

elections once again. His record in
the Senate during his long service
there is being pointed at by his party
members here as certain to carry him
over by q large majority, but demo-

each of the four candidates will strive
