NO WET CANDIDATE FOR SOUTH STATES SENATOR M'KELLAR
Interesting Political Gossip At French Lick Couples Senator Ralston And Dr. Royal s. Copeland As Demo cratic Possibilities -Tennessean Says Dixie Unan mously For Ford And Shoals

FRENCH LICK, Ind, June 16.- The sunny south. land of the mint julep, wants no wet candidate for the presidency, Senator Kenneth Mcclellan declared Saturday night. He added that Gov. Al" Smith of New York would receive no undi- vided support from democrats below the Mason Dixon line even if he were nominated.
 "I believe Governor Smith has killed his chances for the democratic nomination." McKellar said. He is very popular in the south generally, but the party wants a dry candi- date. only a dry man stands d chance to win"
 Governor Smiths presidential boom is on the wane in the belief of all politicians who have had a hand in the game of politics being played here.
 Hailed by the wet element of the democratic party of Illinois as the kind of man the west wanted in the presidential chair, smith came here disavowing all aspirations in that direction, but still regarded as very strong possibility.

Tom Taggart. always regarded IS a mild wet, came out with the flat-footed assertion that a wet candidate will not lead the democratic host in 1924 and that prohibition will be one of the major issues upon which the campaign will be fought.
 Second. The candancy of Samuel M. Ralston, Indiana senator which was regarded as "favorite son" movement, has developed unexpected strength Taggart has steered clear of any declaration which would of fend the Smith forces or any other faction of the party. but 1t Is com monly reported that he Is ready to go the limit for Ralston, in spite of his statement this week in which he denied knowledge of any organized effort to put Ralston across.
 Since development of the Ralston boom word has come from New York that Senator Royal s. Copeland Is being mentioned as vice prcsid- ential candidate. thus linking the powerful New York and Indiana con- venton delegations if d Ralston- Copeland combination is worked out under Tagglrt's guidance. A deal for this combination Is not regarded as unlikely by politicians, who have been sitting in on the inner
