22.-The political bee has begun to
buzz in New Mexico in anticipation OF
the 1924 elections. Interest just at
present seems to be strongest in the
race for the United States senator
ship.
Close friends Of Gov. James F.
Hinkle say that he would not be
adverse to accepting the democratic
nomination. Sam. g. Bratton, a mem
ber of the New Mexico supreme court,
is also being spoken OF in connection
with the democratic nomination.
Attorney J. D. Atwood Of Roswell,
former state commander OF the
American Legion and a candidate
three years ago for lieutenant gov
ernor. is also being mentioned for the
senatorial nomination on the demo-
support from the ex-service men.
Senator Holm o. Bursum appears
at present to be the most likely can
didate for the republican nomination
to succeed himself. Republican lead
ers report that a large number of
Bursum clubs are functioning in va
rious parts OF the state and indica-

going into the 1924 campaign with
a united front and with all the in
surgent faction, which made itself
felt in the last election, whipped back

OHIO EDITORS BACK
COOLIDGE FOR 1924
Poll of County Sentiment
Shows President Far in
Lead in State.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 22.-
The replies of editors Of county seat
newspapers Of Ohio to a question
nafre regarding sentiment in their
counties regarding presidential NOM
nations fully bear out the estimate
as to the overwhelming preponderance
of sentiment for President Coolidge.
Out of a total of 265 such news
papers. answers have been received
from 210 editors. More than half of
them are republican. OF these all
but three state that the majority
sentiment in their counties Is for the
President In two counties 1t is said
that the prevailing sentiment is for
senator Hiram johnson and in one
for Henry Ford. This answer was
received before the declaration of
Mr.. Ford in favor of President Cool
idge.
The democratic editors report a
varying condition as to sentiment
their party: Strange to say, Gov
James NJ Cox does not lead among
the several persons favored for the
nomination. But five editors report
the predominating sentiment in their
counties for him. Mr.. McAdoo is far
in the lead. with thirty-two editors
reporting their counties for him. The
others are about equally divided be-
tween Underwood. Ralston, Davis and
Ford

Carmi A. Thompson Is far in the
lead and former Gov. H. l.. Davis

Roscoe c. McCulloch of Canton third

Donahey II Strong.
tion of Gov. Donahey in the demo-
cratic local organizations is not re-
f1ected at all in the QUESTIONABLE
answers from these democratic edi-
tors. Only two of them report de-
cided opposition to his reelection in
their counties. Gov. Donahey's
nomination for a second term is
therefore indicated.
It seems to be quite certain now
that James A. White, now the state
superintendent of the Anti Saloon
League, will enter the race for the
republican nomination for governor,
and II he does there is no telling
what the effect will be: Tho drys
them are in tho republican party.
1t is doubtful whether republican or
ganization influence could control the
nomination with White in the field.
The situation precipitated by Mr..
Whites entrance would therefore be
not unlike that threatened when It
seemed likely that National Pro-
hibition Enforcement officer Roy A.
Haines would retire and run for the
nomination for governor on a dry
platform. ]. H. GALBRAITH.

preparing for a contest that promises
to become memorable. William g. Nc
Adoo's friends are working with great
energy and optimism. Unless the out
look changes greatly, McAdoo will re-
ceive California approval, although
the wet wing OF his party Is by no
means reconciled to his candidacy.
In this connection there has been
some discussion of bringing in Gov.
Smith OF New York to oppose the
former director general Of railways.
McAdoo's chief dificulty at present
appears to consist of the petty jeal-
ousies and personal prejudices of some
Of his advisors. McAdoo is not taken
seriously by the general body of re.
publicans and, II nominated. would
not menace republican success in this
state.
The contest between johnson and
Coolidge here will hold the center Of
interest. There has been a remark
able and unstimulated wave Of senti-
ment for Coolidge throughout the
state. but the strength of Senator
Johnson and his organization is by
no means to be underestimated.

Henry Ford. for once In his life,
appears to have done something that
pleases everybody. All the politicians
In Washington, no matter what their
faith or creed, are applauding the
automobile manufacturer for elm

a great feeling Of relief here In the
Capital. The political boys are wear

This expression becomes all the
more significant from the realization
that Mr.. Ford has not only eliminated
himself from consideration in 1924,
but for all time. Certainly. the demo-
Gratis will never fiirt with him again
and the republicans, when 1928 comes
around. will have other fish to fry.
Mr.. Ford has written himself down
as a standard bearer Of the G. o. P,
and In doing that he has proved him
self most manganimous. For the re-
pub lean leaders have been saying
SOME nasty things about Mr.. Ford.
Even distinguished member of
the Coolidge cabinet has slung a
few carefully selected shafts at the
Detroit man Of millions, and one ex-
ceedingly prominent member of the
republican national committee has
announced that he regarded Henry
Ford as menace"

Democrats Satisfied.
The democrats profess to be equal

they have smoked Henry out, just
as they were glad when they smoked
Herbert Hoover out in 1920. 1t Is
true, of course, that President Wood
row Wilson ran Henry Ford for the
United States Senate on a democratic
ticket, but Mr.. Ford, as they counted
the returns, was not elected, and
therefore never had to qualify as a
democrat in public life. The demo-
