SOUTH DAKOTA BOOSTS
JOHNSON CANDIDACY
Senator Gets Support of Party
Leaders-Coolidge Is Sec
ond Choice.

SIOUX FALLS. s. D., November H.
An interesting political development in
South Dakota during the past few
days was the announcements of Rep
resentatives c. A. Chrfstopherson, re-
publican, of the first South Dakota
district. and Royal c. Johnson. repub-
lican OF the second district. that they
would support Senator Hiram John
son of California as the republican
nominee for President. 1t Is thought
others of the South Dakota delegation
in Congress-, excepting United States
Senator Thomas Sterling, favor Sen
ator Johnson, or at least think 1t the
part of political wisdom to line up for
the Johnson candidacy.
Senator Sterling some time ago de-
clared he was for the nomination OF
President Coolidge as the republican
candidate for President next year.
If the South Dakota republican
state proposal meeting, to be held
Tuesday, December 4, Endorses the
candidacy of Senator Johnson this
would have the effect of binding the
twelve delegates from South Dakota
to the republican national conven-
ton to vote three times for Senator
Hiram Johnson; then. IL the can
didacy Of the California man appear
ed hopeless. the twelve delegates
would be free to support any man
In the convention they wished. In
this event II is regarder as certain
they would go to President Coolidge.

PARKER TO RETIRE
FROM PUBLIC LIFE
Will Seek No Office in Future.
Khan ASSaiIS Sena-
tor RanSdeIl.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS, La, November IL.
Two incidents in Louisiana politics
the past week attracted more than
state, II that be possible.
One was the uncovering of what is
believed to be a concrete move Of the
Ku Klux Khan in Louisiana to get the
political scalp of United States Sena-
tor Joseph E. RansdeN OF Lake Provi-
dence. the senior senator from TINS
state. If that be possible.
The other was statement from
John NJ. Parker, Louisianas bitter
anti-Klan governor. to close friends
that it is his full and unqualified In
tention to retire from politics ana
public life when his term OF ONCE as
governor expires next May.
The rumor affecting Senator Rams
dell Is of more or less national in
terest. His battle for leVees. deep
water navigation and the making OF
the Mississippi river a great artery
of trade between the south and the
great northwest has made of him a
national figure. He Will come up for
reelection in 1924. Opposition has
been vaguely limited at times, but no
one has been able to put finger on
1t until the revealing OF the Onciai
minutes Of a meeting Of Old Hick Org
Khan, No. /, Of New Orleans. Knights
Of the Ku Klux Khan. which showed
that an attack was being planned on
Ransdell Although just brought to
light, 1t now develops that the Khan
campaign was inaugurated at a meet
ing Of this New Orleans Khan Febru-
airy 10 of last year.
RansdclI IL Catholic.
Senator Ransdell is stanch Catho-
lie, and the knights of Columbus. a
powerful organization in this state,
has always been friendly in its sup
port, according to belief. The Khan
antagonism was no great surprise; Its
actual existence was the point.
The declaration from Gov. Parker
that he will not seek public office.
either state or national, and that he
desires to retire to his family and
private business affairs at the end OF
his present term, will put at rest
rumors OF national ambitions on his
part. 1t Is now said by close friends
of Gov. Parker that he will in no way
be an aspirant for national political
honors and will not be a candidate for
the United States Senate at the ex-
piration of his gubernatorial tenure.
as had been rumored.

|LA TOILETTE FACES
FIGHT IN WISCONSIN
G. o. P. to Keep Him Busy
at Home, if Possible, Is
Latest Plan.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MADISON, Wis, November 17.-Sen-
ator Robert NJ. La Follette's return
from Europe has stirred the apathy
of Wisconsin politics into something
akin to life. Senator La Toilette
himself. who will be the center of
the republican delegate fight, has set
no machinery in motion. His ma
jority Of more than 100000 in the
last republican primary affords as
surance Of q firm hold upon the state,
but present indications are that the
anti-La Toilette republicans will
fight again, regardless Of the handi-
cap. Talk prevalent a month ago
that Wisconsin delegates might be
sent to the republican national con-
vention without a contest Is no longer
heard.
Even IL the outlook is unpromising
the fight will be made to keep Sena-
tor La Toilette occupied in his own
state. If for no other reason. 1t is
believed that were the delegation
from Wisconsin handed to Senator
La Toilette without a contest. he
would capitalize that concession TO
capture delegations from other states.
The cessation of opposition here would
enable him to take the stump and
personally direct his delegate cam
paign in the promising territory of
the middle west.
Leaders Support Plan.
That is the way the conservative re-
publican leaders view 1t. and they are
said to be supported in this view by
national leaders. So the plan is to
stage a campaign that will keep
Senator La Toilette employed in
Wisconsin as far as possible.
Strategic advantage will be sought
In the use OF local issues. Mr.. La
Toilette two years ago received the
support Of the vets when he was a
candidate for senator, and to this
support 10 attributed a great deal of
his top-heavy majority. His vote In
Congress to submit the eighteenth
amendment for ratification of the
states caused him to be well support
ed in many dry districts. Until now.
he has successfully resisted efforts to
split his following on the liquor .ques-
ton, but the indications are that a
real effort will be made to force that
issue in the delegate campaign, with
the object of compelling choice of one
horn or the other of the dilemma.
This probably will .be accomplished
by adapting the opposition delegates
to the views of the congressional dis
tricts in which they will be elected
wet in wet districts and dry delegates
in dry districts. The slate for dele
gates at large, of whom six are to be
chosen, will be made up of leading
figures in conservative politics. These
delegates viii likely be headed by
former Gov. E. l.. Phillip. the strong
est and most successful of Mr.. La
Follette's political enemies.
