and the thirty-hve senatorial districts
of the state this week elected delegates

will be pretty well split up on the first

Signs of spring interest in the cam
paign are found in the news from Yale
University of the formation of three
political clubs in the interest OF the
candidates. of Lowden, Hoover and Ed

LOWDEN CLUB GETTING
SUPPORT IN COLORADO
Hopes to Develop Sentiment for Il
linois Governors Candidacy in
Time for Convention.

DENVER, Col, March 13 Especially.
Republicans from each of the sew
en- Typographical sections of Colorado
gathered here recently to form a
statewide LqWden club. They will
not ask for instructed delegates. but
hope to crystallize the sentiment for
the candidacy of the Illinois execu-
tive in time for the state convention
May s. The convention will select
delegates to the Chicago convention.
and Lowden followers hope to over
come the lead thus far held by sup
porters of Leonard Wood.
The Lowden club was formed q
few days before the visit of Senator
Warren G. Harding of Ohio. LoVden
hackers recognized the Wood
strength. but declared Woods caRdi-
dacy was showing signs of weaken
ing and that the fight for the presi-
Dental nomination in Chicago would
deyelop between Lowden and Hard
Ing. They have started the IoWden
boom on the suppesition that Wood
cannot be nominated on the first or
second ballot, and that LoWden will
enter the fight easily as second choice
and finally win.
The party machinery through the
state three months ago was running
smoothly for Wood, when efforts were
put forth to organize branch orgaai-
cations of the Wood club in every
county. Many of these branch clubs
have been started. and. while there
has hesR q gain in that direction, it
is known that some Of the most ac-

Political events Of the week haro

will stand on a platform calling for
the making of light wines and beers
for the people of the state. Represent
ative Harrison voted for prohibition and
is recognized as one Of the foremost of
this force.
This is the first declaration of op-
position to a congressma on the ma
tional ticket this fall. hut the sug-
gestion is that there will be others.
For instance, recently it was an
nounced that former Senator John a.
Lesner of Norfolk would oppose Rep
resentative E. z. Holland. and Sena-
tor Lesner has not SO far been con-
sidered a supporter of the prohibition
lists. There Is a report also that Sem
ator Joseph T. Deal of Norfolk has
congressional aspirations. 1t need
occasion no surprise if Senator Saxon
w. Holt of Newport News SHES his
hat into the ring and enters in op-
position to Representative S. o. Bland.
Senator Holt has cherished congress
sional ambitions for years and this
may be the time for him to make his
try.
