CONFIDENCE IN
 COOLIDGE SHOWN
This Is Keynote Of Vermont
 Republican Convention

Montpelier Vt, May s. Conf which the people themselves have formed and will insist upon voting upon" in the coming presidential cleo ton said John H. Bartlett. first as siasRt postma ster general in an ad- dress at the Vermont republican state convention today.
 However, many blanks may be put into the Cleveland platform he said. "and however varied they may be in their nature. confidence in Coolidge is the ono upon which a yer dict will ultimately he rendered by the Aemrican people"
 Referring to the senatorial inNesti- Sations at Washington, he said:
 The leaders of the opposite party who have prolonged legitimate inNcS- tigation for political purposes have done one great thing which they lif- tie intended 10 do. They have set the American people to thinking that manhood in a president is the su- rreme quality. They have shaken Ihe confidence Of the American people in eo many ltdutIs Dl Dptn pOlltltal par ties that they have caused one man to stand out conspicuously as on a mountain top of high ideal and lofty purposes. They have created a sit nation which has literally forced the nomination of this one man in the re publican party"
 Touching on taxation he said:
 Your president in this great crisis of American history had the vision to see that unless the American govern ment abandoned its war taxes and got hack to honest living in government. pushes would be ruined and financial chaos reign. X There still re. mains very keenly before the Amcri- can people at this hour as the great question 10 be determined, whethe, the president is right in the course na has mapped out for his country or whether the temporary majority in congress is right in the compromise they have made for their country. II looks very much now as if this oues- ton would have to he submitted to tns Ereatest jury in the world-the whole American people"

A lot of people guessed William Howard Taft whose likeness appeared in last evenings Herald. Many peo- pie guessed who had no right to guess such as young boys and girls. They evidently did not read the rules-It plainly said in the Herald. that is was married mems night. and that if any body other than married men guessed they would be disbarred from further guesses--Whoozit absolutely demands that you read before guessing. An other thing which was stressed was the fact that you should tell whether you were married or not on the guess.

BITTER FIGHT ON
IN WISCONSIN RACE
Coolidge and La Toilette
Forces Concentrate Attack
on One District.
Dispatch 10 The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
MADISON, Wis, March 22.-Iiov.
John j. Blaine has taken charge of
the campaign to capture the first
congressional district-Gibraltar of
Wisconsin conServatism-for the La
Toilette delegate ticket. The first
was the only district which sent anti
La Toilette delegates to the 1920 re-
publican convention. Conservatives
hope to break the La Toilette slate
by holding it in line for President
Coolidge this year-a hope which
may be wrecked under the concen-
trated fire of the La Toilette or
ganization. The delegate election is
on April /.
Both sides have ignored the re-
mainder of the state, evidently TAX
ing it for granted that Mr.. La Fol-
lette's strength cannot be shaken.
To make assurance doubly sure in
was placed on the La Toilette district
delegate state. In his invasion of
the district Gov. Blaine has spoken
in every important city, beginning
with Racine, kenosha and Beloit the
industrial centers, and thence carry
ing the war into the rural centerS
me La Toilette campaign, as waged
bS Gov. Blaine, centerS wholly about
the Teapot Dome scandal. La Fol-
latte insists that President Coolidge
cannot diSaSsociate himself from the
events which have involved party
leadership. j. c. RALSTON.

MARYLAND WATCHES
CONTESTS FOR HOUSE
State Races Claim Major Interest,
With Zihlman and Linthicum
Facing Fight.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, March 22.-Interest in
the coming state primaries has been
temporarily shifted from the presi-
Dental to the congressional candi-
dates and it appears that two of
Maryland's oldest representatives, in
point of service, one a democrat and
the other a republican, are facing a
hard fight to retain their seats.
The democrat is ]. Charles Linthi-
cum, who represests the fourth dis
trict, and the republican is Frederick
N. Zihlman, who represents the sixth
district.
Linthicum, who has already posted
his primary entry, probably will be
the central figure in a three-cor-
Zihlman. it is said, will have oppo-
sition which has been brought about
by the mention of his name in con-
nection with graft charges in WASH
ington, and although he may prove
himself innocent. as his friends firm
ly declare he is, western Maryland re-
publicans feel that the mere fact OF
having been named in connection
with the scandal has weakened his
standing. Henry HolZapfel of Ha-
gerstown may be named.
While only two candidates on the
democratic side have filed in the sixth
district-Frank w. Mlsh, former state
senator of Hagerstown and Andrew
]. Cummings, former member OF the
legislature from Montgomery county
it is believed that David c. Winebren-
ner, cousin of Gov. Richie and sec
retary to United States Senator Will
liam Cabell Bruce, will also enter the
race and stands a good chance of
getting the nomination.
1t is practically a foregone conclu-
sion that Maryland Will send an un-
Instructed delegation to the demo-
cratic convention in New York and
almost equally certain that the state
delegation to the republican conyen-
ton in Cleveland will be pledged to

AUSTIN. Tex, March 22-Repub-
licans in Texas are preparing to send
delegation from the state conven-
ton at Dallas, h " 81, to the national
convention instructed to vote for
the nomination Of President Coolidge
Vice President. Mr.. Creager, Texas
national republican committeeman,
has issued a call for the state con-
vention on the day fixed by law, the
same date on which the democratic
state convention will be he'd at Waco.
While there will be little division
among the republicans, the democrats
face bitter fight on two points Dem
ocrats are already lining up forces
for the precinct conventions on May
4, where first instructions will be
given delegates to the county and
ventions will be held May 6.
A contest is certain over retention
of the unit rule" which permits the
majority vote of the delegation to
cast the entire forty votes. Despite
bitter fights at several conventions,
Texas has never been able TO abolish
the unit voting rule. In case oppo-
nents of instructing the delegation
for an individual candidate are sue
cessful, there are prospects that the
unit rule will also be discarded; but
it is considered certain that If Nc
Adoo should win an instructed dele
cation. it will be held together by

LOS ANGELES, March pa repe-
tition in South Dakota of the North
Dakota primary result promises to be
a serious matter from the Johnson
standpoint ,Californians generally
were not prepared for the North Da-
kota returns, and the success of the
La Toilette campaign seems to have
impaired Mr.. Johnson's political credit
almost as much as his defeat by Mr..
Coolidge.
One of the most prominent Johnson
leaders here is authority for the as
sertion that "one or two more defeats
for Senator Johnson similar to the
North Dakota failure should inspire
his real friends to persuade him to
withdraw"
This sentiment, however, is not gem
eral among the senator's friends, and
careful observers will not be aston
ished If Mr.. Johnson returns here for
an intensified campaign designed 10
rehabilitate his political fortunes.
Whether impetus is given a third party
in other states by tn North Dakota
vote. the movement in California is
negligible at this time. The Coolidge
Angeles have determined to withhold
extended comment on the North Da-
kota decision until voters of South
Dakota have registered a choice, the
chief Coolidge strategy at present
centering on assurances to California
republicans that their approval of d
Coolidge ticket in the May preferen-

Peace Pact With Organization
Threatened by Governors Ex-

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARRISBURG, Pa, March e.
Gov. Clifford Pinchot has rustled up
the Pennsylvania republican primary
campaign within the last few days by
d line of speechmaking which may
put to a test the harmony compact
reached with the states party lead
ers in Philadelphia some weeks ago.
Organization leaders had been
thinking the governor was going to
content himself with weekly state
ments showing what he had accom-
plished in the way of reforming the
government and saving money for
the taxpayers, but he gave his first
speech within six hours of his first
statement. The governor is billed
for some additional speeches between
now and the primary month hence,
and if he roams into the national
field there may be trouble holding
districts containing federal officials
of wide political influence.
The governors position is that the
Organization agreed to go along with
him and he with it, but that there
fere with his making speeches so
that the country would know where
he stood.
In many parts of the state there
is a disposition TO consider disclosures
at Washington from political angle,
and while democrats are making the
most of 1t the rank and file of the
republicans are not getting very much
excited.
McAdoo partisans are getting their
wind back in Pennsylvania and while
they are not sailing under colors of.

81. A du Pont, who has been the back
bone of the republican party in Del.s
aware for a number of years, haSs
again taken upon himself the task Of
trying to bring the opposing factions
together He, like a number of other,
prominent republicans, recognizes
that If the war continues Delaware
will lose the United States SENATOR
ship, the state ticket and probably
the state for Coolidge.
The former senator is trying to inn
press the leaders in various parts
of the state of the danger. So far
there has been no tangible result.
Efforts to convince Col. du Pont that
Senator Ball cannot be reelected
have been in vain What Mr.. du Pont
wants is to see the man who is
strongest and would do most to har-
monte the various factions nominal
ed. The name of Henry p. Scott was
mentioned again this week as a pos
sible compromise candidate. Another
name mentioned, one that has not
been suggested before, was that OF
Robert II. Richards. a prominent corr

Alfred /. du Pont will take an active

BOISE, Ida, March 22.-The various
counties of Idaho have chosen their
delegates to the republican delegates
convention to be held at Lewiston
next Tuesday, when the political sea-
son will be formally opened. 1t is
evident at this time that the present
administration will have strong
majority in the convention and that
the eleven delegates to Cleveland will
be unqualifedly instructed for Presi-
dent Coolidge.
Little is said about the possibility
of the selection of a new man for
the republican national committee

hear rumblings that may indicate that

Observers Cannot Find Sign of
johnson Strength in Pre-
Primary Campaign.

Special Dispatch to The Star
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March e.
Indiana's thirty-three delegates to the
republican national convention will
be instructed as a unit. Under the
primary law the state convention
must instruct the delegates to sup
port the presidential candidate who
receives a majority of the primary
vote.
Unless all signs fail, according to
political observers, President Cool
idge will be an easy victor.
Lack Of interest in the presidential
primary in Indiana is noteworthy
feature of the campaign. Even the
work of organizing the state for
Coolidge has dragged along. and with
the primary less than six weeks
away the Presidents organization is
not completed. The Johnson cam
paign staff also is far from COM
pleted.
Johnson plans to make several
speeches in the state after April Z.
Coolidge managers are discussing the
advisibility of throwing in some
speakers of national note to follow
Johnson. Thus far the Coolidge cam
paign has been waged without a
single speech, something new in the
political history of Indiana

HARTFORD, Conn, March 22-
Delegates to the republican state
convention in this city April and 8
were elected by the 169 towns and
thirty-five senatorial districts this
week. In a large majority of cases
the elections were without contests.
An unusual feature was the instruc-
tion of delegates by number of eau
cuseS to vote for delegates to the ma
tional convention instructed for Pres
ident Coolidge.
The democratic state central COM
mittee has solved the problem in
volved in the decision to send eighteen
delegates to the national convention,
with fourteen votes. The state COM
mittee at a recent meeting adopted
the unique suggestion of Mayor
David E. Fitz Gerald of New Haven
that each of the eighteen delegates
from the state have seven-ninths of
"a vote.
Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York
'appears to be gaining in strength,
and while 1t is not regarded as likely
that the states delegation will be in
structed, the New Yorker, from the
present outlook, will have more than
half of the delegates. The McAdoo
sentiment is not dead, but it looks as
if it were dying. II. l. HORTON.
