Affairs of the anti-repubiican ele-

The task Of unit ng these groups into

LOUISVILLE. KY. October 27-
Two active democrats suspected of.
having at least a passive interest In
the 1924 presidential nomination Of
their party sojourned here this week
Both were on the stump In the inter-
ests Of the democratic state ticket.
and their friends construed their
presence here as being at least a
"feeler" for Kentucky sympathy, Il
not an actual bid for support
They were James Middleton Cox of
Ohio, his party's standard bearer In
l92o-and Senator Royal S, Copeland
of New York.
This happened when james B. Brown,
the Louisville banker. became a DOM
inant figure In his party this year.
Brown was chairman of the capital
issues committee~of the War Finance
Board under President Wilson,
place to which he was appointed by
william Gibbs McAdoo. The demo-
Gratis here never make a move with
out consulting Mr.. Brown. Hence the
Kentucky delegation may alwost GER
tainy. at this time. be counted for
McAdoo. Cox was always popular
here. however.
Over on the other side of the fence,
no other name besides President Cool
idge's Is being mentioned above a
whisper.
Ford Clubs Formed.
However, there is large Ford
noise here, as elsewhere. Clubs are
being formed, but the organization
appears to be nothing more than So
cial at this time.
Another new face is to appear in
the Kentucky congressional deIega-
ton two years hence when Ben john
son of the fourth district. long chair
man of the District Of Columbia COM
mfttee, retires. He announced his in
tention to quit two years hence In
a speech at Shepherdsville. introduc-
ing one of his congressional coll
leagues, William j. Fields of the
ninth district. democratic candidate
for governor.
In the event Mr.. Fields carries Ken
lucky which the democrats are be-
ting to 2 he will, there will lie two
special congressional elections this
fall-one In the ninth to fill Fields
shoes and one in the seventh to name
successor to the late j. Camrueil

ernor.
The seventh district, always demo.
cratic. has three candidates. the best
known being Cantrill's former secre-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Va. October 27.--With
one week remaining before the voters
go to the polls to pass on the biggest
issue in the state since prohibition.
the road bond forces are and have
been on the stump for the last ten
days. They are going to every Sec
ton and making an appeal that the
state expend $50 100000 for highway
improvement. They admit that the
sum will be insufficient for the un-
dertaking-to complete the preten-
tious program-but they want the
bonds to be issued from time to time
as the money Is needed. Much of the
talking has been done In the more
populous cities and towns. The farm
ers are understood to be almost solid
in opposition to the bond scheme.
However. the accepted belief is that
the bond issue Is doomed to ,signal
defeat, and there are few. save the
most optimistic of the bond leaders,
who entertain an idea that there Is
chance for the bond proposition
to carry. The cities are expected to
cast the bulk of the vote for bonds.
and 1t is on getting this vote out that
efforts are being centered. In the
cities there are no contests, while In
the counties there are, in addition to
election of all members of the legis-
laturo rival candidates for the coun-
ty offices. This means that the vote
in the rural sections will be proper
tionately larger than the city vote,
and if the rural vote shall reach the
totals that are believed possible. the
chances are that the majority against
bonds will reach as much as 10000.
