ROYAL C. JOHNSON
TO STAY IN HOUSE
South Dakotan Not Expected to
Run for Senate--Present
Post Assured.
spsrinl pisnatrh to The stnr.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., September 10
That South Dakota at the general
election in November, 1924, will re-
turn three republican congressman
appears assured.
In the first district Representative
G. A. Christopherson, republican, who
is a candidate for denomination and
recollection, apparently will have an
easy time, as the democrats and nom
partisan leaguers have no man in
the district who can dispiace the
present congressman, who has each
year grown in popularity with the
voters of the district, who recognize
him as a tireless worker in Congress
in behalf of his district and state.
Representative Royal c. Johnson,
republican, who represents the sec
ond district, which is republican, will
have no republican opposition for re-
nomination. There has been some dis
cussion in the state that Representa-
tive johnson might become a candi-
date for the United States Senate.
but in usually well informed quar-
ters II is confidently asserted he is
satisfied with his present place in
the lower house and will seek re-
election.
In the third district. which embraces
all that part of South Dakota lying
west of the Missouri river, including
the Black hills, Representative William
Williamson, republican, is certain to be
renominated by the republicans of
the district. His friends assert that
the democrats and non-partisan
leaguers of the district have no man
who can defeat him.

Ohio Satisfied With Coolidge,

COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 15.--
In their declarations in favor OF the
nomination OF President Coolidge by
the republican party to succeed him
self. Senators willis and Fess merely
give expression to the unanimous
sentiment OF members Of the party
here. Nothing but expressions OF sat-
isfaction with the new administra-
tion are heard from Ohio republicans,
and, in fact, these compliments are
not confined wholly to the republican
side. Nothing but an egregious error
on the part of the President between
this time and the selection OF the DEL
egates to the republican national con-
vention could now lead the Ohio re-
publioans away from the following.
and no one here expects him to do
anything OF the kind. Whatever
happens elsewhere. there will be no

Coincidentally with the setting in

that he would not ask for nomination

does not care to take a chance.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NASHVILLE. Tenn, September Is.
Tennessee will ave many political
contests next year. There will be the
presidential contest. A senator TO
succeed Senator John X. Shields must
be nominated and elected. The same
program applies TO the governor S
office and the ten representatives in
also to the state legislature. Then in
preme court and two places on the
court of civil appeals must be filled
at the next August election.
So far the only activities have been
in the race for the democratic nomi-
nation for senator. Senator Shields
has not formally announced his pur-
pose to ask reelection. but will be a
candidate nevertheless. Judge Ma
than L. Bachman of Chattanooga has
resigned his seat on the supreme
bench to seek the nomination, and
Gen. Lawrence D. Tyson of Knoxville,
who commanded an infantry brigade
in the 18th Division In the world war.
is already at work on his campaign
for the honor Joseph w. Byrns,
member of Congress from this dis
that he would be a candidate for the
Senate. has withdrawn from the race
IL view of the certainty of a long
drawn-out campaign, for the senator
ial primary is not held until next Au-
gust, practically a year hence. He will
ask reelection to the House.
Except for the senatorial race,
none Of the others has, so far, at
tracted any attention in Tennessee.

REEDMAY CARRY
MISSOURI PRIMARY
Can Win Delegation if He De.
CideS to Make Fight,
Democrats Believe.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, September 15.-
Senator Reed. Notwithstanding his al
most complete political self-efface-
che sole subject of political discussion
In Missouri at this early stage of the
campaign period. VIII Reed de-
mand to he named a delegate at
large TO the national convention?
VIII he seek to obtain a delegation
from Missouri instructed for him for
President? These are the questions
uppermost in Missouri politics.
Aside from the sentiment which
Senator Spencer. Gov. Hyde and Z.
Mont Reilly are seeking to create for
President Coolidge for the republican
nomination there is no talk among
the republicans about a candidate. 1t
generally seems to be assumed that
Coolidge will be virtually unopposed,
and the republican politicians, Hyde.
Spencer, Reilly and National Commit
teeman Babler, are in a race to seek
his favor in such Missouri appoint
ments as remain to be made.
Call on President.
All have called on the President,
and with the exception of Babler have
announced their support of him next
year. Babler, Craftier politician has
said all the pleasant things he could
think of to say for publication. but
has not definitely pledged himself.
Likewise there is little discussion
OF presidential candidates on the dem
ocratic side, none Of the leaders hav-
ing committed themselves, though
National Committeeman Goltra is
looked upon as McAdoo supporter
as is also Breckinridge Long. former
thlrd assistant secretary of state. who
was defeated for the nomination for
senator last year by Reed.
Among close friends of Senator
Reed there naturally is a boosting of
him. Reed overcame odds that it
seemed would be insurmountable last
year and won the nomination for
senator in the democratic primary.
II was charged at the time that
there was a moral fraud in the pri-
mary and that his nomination was
accomplished by votes of republicans.
This taint, from party standpoint,
continued in the election, in which
Reed piled up huge majorities in
strong republican communities and
either lost or carried by greatly re-
duced majorities democratic strong
holds.
Man Without Party.
Among Missouri democrats he vir-
tually was man without a party
until that primary, and neither IL
nor the election restored him to his
old party standing in the state.
But party leaders, Reed and anti
Reed, want to carry Missouri next
year. Notwithstanding the 10000
republican majority of 1920. the DEM
ocrats believe they can carry the
state If party harmony can be brought
about between the Reed and anti
Reed factions. Also they are about
convinced that any harmony program
will be dictated by Reed or there
will be none.
If Reed can control the election of
delegates only from the counties
which he carried in the primary
against Long, he will have approx
mately 40 per cent of the delegates in
the state convention. To control the
convention he would need to capture
in fight only about one-sixth of the
remaining so per cent. He won a
harder fight than that last year.

special plspatch to Tho star.

MANCHESTER, N. H., September
15.-The political outlook in New
Hampshire promises much activity
during the next month, with meetings
of both the republican and demo-
cratic state executive committees
scheduled. The reported break be-
tween United States Senator George
II. Moses and First Assistant Post
master General John H. Bartlett,
caused by newspaper articles credit
ing Gen. Bartlett with saying that
Senator Moses was claiming he was
the original Coolidge man in New
Hampshire, finds Gen. Bartlett stating
that he was not correctly reported.
Gen. Bartlett wants to be candi-
date to the republican national con-
ventton, but the supposed break be-
tween Moses and Bartlett on which
either could claim the honors of be-
ing the original Coolidge man in the
Granite state has to all intents and
purposes been patched up and the
state G.. o. +. executives are report
ing harmony in the ranks. Former
governors councillor. B. F. Greer of
Grasmere, has announced as a caudi-
date for delegate to the national
republican convention. He fayors
President Coolidge. but does not be-
pledged delegation to the convention.
Democrats for McAdoo.
The democratic chieftain in the
state seems inclined to favor the Nc
Adoo boom, former Representative r
u. Stevens of Landau favors McAdoo.
and work has already started anon e
the democratic party to bring sup
port to the former Presidents son
in-law.
City policies seem TO have the call
at present. Manchester elects a
mayor and board of aldermen in De-
cember, and the republicans and dem
ocrats have announced a party caucus
for the latter part of next month.
Mayor George Z. Trudel will have
no opposition for the republican nom
ination. His administration has sat
ished his campaign promises of a
business administration, according to
his support.
Six Democrats I'm Field.
In the democratic field for mayor
there are half dozen candidates.
Manchester is nominally a democratIc
city, and republican political observ-
ers are elated over the apparent split
in the democratic party, with SO many
candidates for the mayors office in
the field.
John A. Barry. state president of
the a. oi L., is one or the lead
ing candidates for the democratic
nomination. He is being opposed by
County Solicitor Ferdinand Farley.
and spirited contest has deyeloped
between Barry and Farley over the
labor support. During the strike at
the Amoskeag mills last year FARLEY
gave Of his time and money to as
sist the strikers in their fight, and
in turn was elected county Solicitor
Since that time break between Far
ley and Horace Riviere, one of the
textile strike leaders, has come. and
both have made wordy war through
newspapers over whether Riviere was
to throw labor support to Barry or
Farley should receive labor's indorse-
ment for his aid during the dark
days of the strike. The answer
comes at the party caucus next
month.

Attempts were made to draw Rails

on the ground that the contest purely

aid also was invoked, but he refused
to interfere. AS a result of the fight
Ralston and Taggart are actually
