tion is to be formed october 20 at
Great Falls.
1t is to be a farner-labor party of
progressive" tendencies, and state
Senator J. w. Anderson OF Sidney Is
titularly behind the movement. Ander-
son, long prominent in republican pro-
gressive circles, has a large following in
eastern Montana and would, it Is
thought, run well in the labor centers
in the west end of the state.
He Is presumed to seek the office OF
governor on this ticket. This Is not a
Ford movement. BY no stretch of the
imagination could il be connected with
the Ford boom and IL Ford enters the
primaries Independently in Montana It
will have to be a fourth movement.

Maryland Campaign Develops
Hints of Future Mud-Singipg
Prohibition Big Issue, Although Both
Candidates Have Stated Oppo-
sition to Dry Lao.

BALTIMORE, October e.--Notwith-
standing the fact that both Gov.
Ritchie, the democratic gubernatorial
candidate. and Alexander Armstrong,
the republican standard bearer, have
both declared themselves as opposed
to prohibition and in favor Of modi-
fication Of the Volstead act, the wet
and dry question continues to be the
leading issue Of the campaign In
Maryland.
Gov. Ritchie has made 1t SO by his
continued attacks throughout the
state on Mr.. Armstrong, accusing him
Of pussy footing on the question.
because no reference to prohibition Is
made in the republican platform. Mr..
Armstrong has answered this by say
Ing that while his views on the ques-
tion of prohibition are well known, he
personally did not draw up the repub-
lican platform, and is not responsible
for the omission of such a plank, and
has consigned himself to attacking
the Ritchie administration on the
grounds Of extravaganza.
Gov. Ritchie, who has been cam
paigning in southern Maryland this
week, has taken the position that un-
less Mr.. Armstrong can support with
facts and figures the several abusive
charges made in the platform 1t is
not incumbent upon the democratic
candidate to attempt to answer them.
Despite the efforts Of democratic
leaders to confine the campaign to
questions of politics, statesmanship
and stewardship, indications are daily
becoming more apparent that 1t may
develop a maximum of mud-snnging;
innuendoes, whispered charges and
personal attacks.
Mr.. Armstrong. who has spent the
week on the eastern shore. In his
speeches said he did not intend to be
diverted from a discussion of the real
Issue Of the campaign, but would
answer briefly a few Of the gov
ernor's questions. He might answer
some others in the future II he felt It
was worth while and the questions
We're of sufficient Importance. he

LOUISVILLE, KY, October 6.-The
decision of President Coolidge not to
interfere in the Kentucky state elec-
tion this fall created more or less
CONSERVATION in the republican organ
ization camp here, and may play an
important part in the lining up OF
forces in the REORGANIZATION skir-
mishes next year.
Chesley H. Searcy. republican ma
tional committeeman. the defeat of
whose man in the republican guber-
Material nomination race this summer
was generally believed to have spelled
his doom as committeeman, Is now
state campaign chairman. OF course,
much depends upon the outcome of
the governors race, but new align
ments, based possibly on the Presi-
dents attitude. may mean much when
it comes to eiecting new national
committeeman. The fact is that both
Mr Searcy and Maurice Calvin Of
Covingtons the leading republican
power in the state, had expected
something more than speakers. and
the Presidents attitude has puzzled

Marbury lost the county in the pri-

The republican candidates are John

AUSTIN. Tex, October 6.-Henry
Ford's campaign for the democratic
presidential nomination was opened. so
far as Texas is concerned. upon plat
form Of incongruities. Former Texas
Gov. j. z. Ferguson, who has as
sumed leadership Of the Ford movement,
launched the campaign seeking an In
structed delegation from Texas. carry
ing the Texas forty votes in the ma
tional convention for Ford. in an ad-
dress at Austin. -
Ford Is not candidate. he said, but
must be drafted"
Ford has never recognized union
labor. he said. but Is the best hope of
union labor, and will receive its sup
port. .
Ford is anti-klan. and will receive
enthusiastic support of Catholic and
Jew. Ferguson said, despite Ford's well
known anti-Semitic campaign.
Ford Opposes Plan.
Fora's strength with Catholic and Jew
alike is through his opposition to Ku
Klux Klan members swearing allegiance
to any form Of organization external
to or different from the United States
government, despite the fact that the
commonly. accepted idea here OF Khan
opposition to Catholicism Is its al
legiance to a foreign suzerain.
Ford's entire business Judgment and
acumen. in piling UP the largest indi-
vidually earned fortune. is based on his
simple advocacy of the amount Of cur
rency in circulation being doubled, Fer
guson said.
Ford's' qualification for President is
that. as director of 100000 employees,
he could better manage the 100000 gov
ernmental employees. 1t was said
though Ford's first presidential achieve
ment would be to fire half the govern
ment employees and put the other half
to work" Ford is the only hope of the
democratic party. Ferguson declared.

II HARRISBURG. Pa, October 6.-Gov.
Clifford Pinchot's activity in three
lines of state administrative policy
has speeded up plans Of men opposed
TO any presidential aspirations he
may develop to prevent him from
getting the Pennsylvania delegation
to the republican national convention.
Things seem to be pretty well set
for the county and municipal cleo
ttons In important districts next
month and this is giving opportunity
for formulation of projects for the
1924 delegate and state committee
elections. The most disturbing fac
tor Is the prohibition question on.
didate for President 'or not, will
espouse the dry" side Neither the
republican nor the democratic organ
izattons wants the prohibition issue
made a party affair and both are aim
ing TO sfdetrack 1t just as the re-
publicans are planning to head off
any Whirlwind campaign Pinchot NAV
start next spring
The governor launched his fall
speech making campaign "to give an
Fministration after three moves which
attracted attention beyond Pennsyl-
vania borders. He began conferences
and Investigations to keep the wage
increases of the anthracite miners
from the consumer, and although coal
companies announce advances ne de-
ciares he has made progress. The
governor knows all about how the
operators sell coal and is aiming to
ventiiate the, profits of the retail
trade. If he gets away with this
scheme, and he believes he will. his
position, should be become an active
candidate, will be improved. The sec
ond move was the dramatic notice to
philadelphia saloonkeepers to quit
selling liquor and take out their bar
equipment. Ever since the governor
performed similar act the anthra-
cite region, declared the "wettest" in
the state, he has been planning to do
the same thing in other counties.
Has Much Evidence. :.
Abundant evidence is in his hands
OF violations How much Of the
switching Of the activity to PhiIa,
delphta was due to desire to show
he was not pussyfooting on prohibi-
tton enforcement In view of the men
ton of his name for presidential
nonors Is matter of speculation
but he certainly did get into the
iimeltght. The next step will be In
functions to force the saloonkeepers
to obey and this he must do In fed
eral courts.
The third move was putting into

This after move was aimed directly
at the state organization. Protests
