SNOW PLows ON HIGHWAYS.

While maintenance crews are still
wrestling with the problem of keeping
graveled roads in good shape at the
end of long and dry summer, the
state highway department is working
out details of the task of keeping COM
munication open when the winter
SHOWS come.
The Sunset highway will be kept
open through Snoqualmie Pass this
year as long as the snow plOws can
handle the snow. When drifts pile in
to the cuts deep enough to require
shoveling the road will be closed I'M
til spring. Snoqualmie Pass has been
free from snow as late as January "a,
but usually tie road Is covered by
SHOWS during the latter part Of No
vember.
Between forty and fifty light snow
plows will be purchased by the high
way department and stationed at cen
trail points in each of the highway dis
tricts of the state. These plows at
tached 10 the front of auto trucks, are
able to remove about two feet of snow
without any difficulty.
Another type OF v shaped pillow
will be held In readiness for use in
districts where heavier falls Of snow
Is to be expected. This pillow, 1t is
will go through drifts four
and five feet high. They are built

CONNECTICUT WOMAN
DEMOCRATS AROUSED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, September 2s.
There are decided signs that wom-
en- will seek to figure more promi-
nently in the coming campaign in
Connecticut than in the past. This
is particularly true of democratic
women, who are not altogether
pleased with some Of the party lead
ers. Some criticism has been caused
by the failure to invite Mrs. Fannie
Dixon WEIGH of Columbia, vice chair
man of the democratic state central
committee, to a recent conference of
prominent democrats Of the third and
fourth congressional districts. It has
been said, in defense of the alleged
slight, that Mrs. Welch is not resi-
dent of either of the congressional
districts whose leaders held con-
ference. The women's reply Is that
Chairman Edward M. Yeomans of the
state central committee is also on the
non-resident list, but that he was
present.
The Indications that women will
take more active part in politics
can hardly be understood. as far as
the republican women are concerned,
as being anything but helpful to the
Coolidge cause.
Connecticut is not one of the states
which hold presidential primaries,
and, aside from the early Coolidge
sentiment aroused by his sudden eie-
walton to the presidency. the interest
in the next national campaign is not

Which Indiana Governor May
Be Asked to Quit.

Healing, national commi tteeman from
Indiana. This array of leaders has
been arranged solely for the purpose
of demonstrating that the attack on
the, governor is not born of fac
tional purpose. but to show to the
state that the party leaders are
united in a common cause.
The entire state is aroused over
the situation, most Of the lesser
leaders siding with the allies"
while the mere voters either are
sympathizing with McCray or are
withholding an opinion.
The democrats are taking no part
in the controversy. the organization
taking the position that so far 1t is
a republican matter and one for the
G.. o. =. to settle. If it can. Walter
S. Chambers democratic state chair
man, even has stopped the issuance
of publicity from state headquarters
for fear that 1t would be construed
as an attack on Mccray. But the
democrats are watching develop
ments with keen eye and, as one
remarked. are building up a handy
campaign handbook for next year"

spec,sl Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
AUGUSTA, Me-, September 29-Nrs.
Pattangall of this city, the wife of
former Attorney General William II.
Pattangall, democratic nominee for
governor in 1922. the woman member
from Maine Of the democratic nation
al committee, announces the woman
organization in Maine has been work :
ing since the last election and will
keep it up until the next election In
1924.
Mrs. Pattangall has been selected
by Mrs Emily Newell Blair of Mis-
souri,, vice chairman of the democratic
national committee, as the temporary
chairman of a regional conference of
democratic women comprising the
New England states, at worcester,
Mass, October 90 and 30.
Democratic leaders are considering
the feasibility of the plan OF the party
state convention making recommen-
dations for nominees for state and
district officers. II this plan Is carried
out no nominee papers will be cir
culated until after the convention.
The plan will not, of course, prevent
others than those recommended from
petitioning themselves on the ballot,
but as apparently there will be no
contests for any of these nominations
the convention thereby would really
make the nominations.
The last democratic state conven-
ton adopted a plank advocating the
repeal of the direct primary law,
which the legislature refused to re-
peal. Whether a similar plank will be
offered for the consideration OF the
next state convention Is a question.
The democrats are still at sea with
respect to their candidate for govern
or. At one time there was report
that if Gov. Baxter was renominated
Mr.. Pattangaii, who was the candi-
date last year, might reconsider his
determination not to be candidate
and run against him. But those who
have recently talked with the Angus
ia leader say that he has made up
his mind positively not to enter the
lists again. J.CLEMENT MURPHY.
