HARVEST REPUBLICANS
WANT TO HEAR HARDING
Campaign Managers Told That Trip
to the Coast Would Aid
Prospects Materially.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Chances of
clinching a republican victory in the
far west in November would be ma
terially strengthened if the republican
national committee would send the can
didate on a speaking tour of the Pacific
coast states, according to Samuel Platt,
prominent Nevada republican. who con-
ferred with National Chairman Will Il.
Hays here today. .
Mr.. Platt told Mr.. Hays that public
opinion in Nevada, normally democratic
state. had undergone a swing toward
repubicansm in the last six months.
Harding. he said, was well and favor
ably known through the west, but by
reputation only. This good impression
of the candidate would be much boil
stored up and many votes won, he said,
if Harding should stump the country.
In urging a personal campaign in the
west Mr.. Platt bore out statements of
Elmer Dover of Seattle, who yesterday
told campaign heads that Pacific coast
republicans wanted Mr.. Harding to
make the trip.

will be selected by direct primary

Ohio, too, must pick republican

Can't Neglect the Vets.
The republicans cannot afford to
neglect the west, Senator PoindeXter
reiterated The democrats. he said, are
making a strong bid for support IN
those states and undoubtedly had that
in mind when they determined to hoid
their national convention in San Fran
cisco.
In the middle west there will be fight
to return Senator Spencer of Missouri.
in which the republicans will have to
work with all their might, and also in
Wisconsin, where Senator Lerroot will
be the subject of attack BY the demo-
Gratis. Indiana will be battle ground,
with the chances in favor OF the return
of Senator Watson.
New Hampshire is the one really de-
batable state in New England in the
senatorial campaign, in the opinion of
Senator Poindexter. Senator Moses, re-
publican, was elected by a narrow mar
gin two years ago for the short term.
He is seeking denomination, and though
he has opposition. probably will be
named as the republican candidate.
Out in South Dakota the republicans
are counting upon picking up a sena-
torial seat now occupied by Senator
Johnson, a democrat. In Maryland the
republicans are after the scalp of Sen
ator John Walter Smith, the victor in
many hard-fought contests in the past

Commorer Opens Liquor Fight With Broad

SAN FRANCISCO. June 26.-"Wets'

convention battle. but left the out

William Jennings Bryan formally
opened his fight for a prohibition plat
form plank. After his election by
the Nebraska delegation to the reso-
lutions committee he made long
and vigorous address at a luncheon
of the Commonwealth Club on pro-
hibition and other platform declara =
tons He declared the democratic
party must be saved from the liquor

their efforts to quiet work among

declaring his special purpose here
was to have a dry plank incorporated
in the platform-an essential to party
victory in November, he declared.
The "wets'' were encoura ged by re-
ports from southern delegations that
hopes of the prohibitionists for a
solid south" for prohibition declara-
ton were unfounded. They declared
that the unit rule could not be in
voked on all southern delegations and
that many of the southerners were
ready to vote against the prohibition
lists.
Mr. Bryan told his audience today
that he sought his place on the reso-
lutions committee especially to fight
for dry" plank.
I'm not sure that We're going to-
have any fight" Mr.. Bryan continued

tinued. "the country will know

FLORIDA MAY SUPPORT
GOV. EDWARDS
After Complimentary Votes Are
Cast, Delegates Thought to
Favor Him.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June &c
(SpeciaD D-Uninstructed and for the
most part unavowed, the eight rep
resentatives of Florida may cast
votes in the San Francisco conven-
ton for eight different men in the
first ballot or two. The majority of
the delegation is understood to be
strongly favoring Edwards, after the
votes have been cast.
Cox may get the Florida votes late
in the contest.
Talk recently reported from repub-
lican headquarters by George w.
Bean, a member of the national COM
mittee from this state, suggesting
that the republicans may capture a
representative in Florida in November is
regarded lightly here. The vote in the
democratic primary was the largest ever
polled in the state. and there is no way
for the republicans to win a single dis
trict with the forces they have mus
tered. GEORGE HOYT SMITH.

DEMOCRATS IN MONTANA
SOLID BEHIND GOVERNOR
Cox Believed to Be Second Choice
if McAdoo Fails to Enter
Contest,

HELENA, Mont, June 26 (SpeciaD.
"A large and enthusiastic delegation
left Friday for San Francisco. where
the, Montanans will boost the candi-
dacy of Gov. Sam V. Stewart for Vice
President Wide support is promised
the governor. and the Montana men are
confident of putting him across.
United States Senator T. j. Walsh
will make the speech nominating Gov.
Stewart.
Montana probably would have cast
her strength for Mr.. McAdoo, and if,
as it seems, he is not a candidate,
Gov. Cox is the possible second choice.
There are indications that the repub-
licans of Montana will stand pretty
solidly behind Senator Harding. despite
the mix-up which resulted in the sub
stitution as national committeeman of
o. H. p. Shelley, former bull mooser
and later state chairman of the new
national party and still later a member
of the committee of forty-eight, for
T.. A. NARROW of Helena, for decades a
republican wheel horse.
There is little likelihood of a third
party in this state. The radical labor
faction. headed by w. F. Dunn of
Butte, is expected to cast it's strength
to the democrats, in the primaries of
August, at least.
With McAdoo a candidate, it would
have been permissible to predict that
Montana's four electoral votes would
go to the democrats; with the situation
as it is, Senator Harding may get them.

DeplOres League in Politics.

The real fight for the presidency
and for the control of the Senate will
likely center in the Pacific coast and
other far western states, in the opin
ion of Senator Poindexter of Wash
ington. chairman of the republican
senatorial committee.
The west decided the national cleo
tions four years ago" said Senator
Poindexter last night before leaving
this city for a weeks stay in Vir
ginia. I'm all probability the decision
will rest with the west this year.
For that reason it is essential that
we make a strong campaign in those
states. 1t is essential also not only
to elect a republican President and
Vice President, but to win working
ma jority of the Senate and the House
if the administration is to function
properly. At present the republicans
control the Senate by.only two votes.
Il am one of those who believe that
the republicans should carry the fight
into every debatable state. Overcon-
fidence might be the forerunner Of
defeat. AS l see it, in the senatorial
campaign there are at least fourteen
debatable states. where we must put
forth every effort to win. They are
Kentucky. Oregon, North Dakota,
Ohio, Nevada, Wisconsin. New Hamp-
shire, Indiana, Idaho, Maryland. Ari-
Zona, Utah, California and Colorado.
New York may see a hard fight. too,
but believe Senator Wadsworth will
be returned. Some believe we may
have a chance in Oklahoma and in
North Carolina, too.
Need Little states, Too.
THE senatorial campaign commit
tee is planning for the campaign. and
will give particular attention to the
states / have named. I'm New York
the organization is strong and will
be able to handle the fight itself. But
it must be remembered that the size
of state does not make any differ
ence in its representation in the Sem
ate. From the standpoint of repub-
lican victory in the Senate it is just
as necessary to carry Idaho, for in
stance, as New York, though during
the campaign the fight in Idaho will
not attract one-tenth as much atten-
tion as the contest in New York.
The headquarters of the senatorial
campaign committee will be located
in Washington, in the Kellogg build
ing, as usual. We will have branch
headquarters in New York city,
where Senator Calder and Senator
Frelinghuysen will be in charge, and
in Chicago. where Senator New and
Senator Mccormick will control. 1

In the debatable states mentioned
by Senator Poindexter democrats now
have senatorial seats from Kentucky,

waged in this debatable territory
held by republicans are those of
