The recent announcement by former

Senate will not stop the entry of
Senator Davis Elkins nor discourage
Col Guy Despard Goff of Clarksburg,
according to reliable advices re-

Mr.. Cooper was the first republican
to announce his ambitions, and this
timeliness is expected to give him a
oertain advantage. He is a million
aire coal operator, and for the past
several years has been allied with
the so-called anti-state administra-
ton wing of his party.
The movement to make John w.
Davis the next President is taking
on substance right along, and for
the most part democrats who are an
nouncing for delegates to the New
York convention declare for Mr..
Davis.
Davis boosters in Charleston were
interested in report that Henry
Morgenthau, the financier, will be-
come financial manager of the Davis
campaign. Mr.. Morgenthau gave that
information in a talk before the
American Club at Athens, in which
he expressed confidence that John

ton must either come out squarely
for Coolidg. or face opposition. mo
compromise Is the answer made by
MIR. Good - the proposal that the
state leaders prepare slate of eleven
delegates at large with the under
standing that they would vote which,
ever way the popular vote in Illinois
goes. The Coolidge people assert they
want a real test of strength with
Senator Hiram w. Johnson in Illi-
nois
The optimism of the Coolidge forces
is due in part to the air of depression
at the johnson headquarters. Frank H.
hitchcock, the johnson manager, and
others assert that everything is COM
ing their way, and they are only
eager for the fighting to start in ear
sumption. Privately the Johnson
leaders admit that things are not go
ing as well as they expected. and
there is a suspicion that there has
heen double crossing or four-fiushing.
II is rumored that there is friction
between Harold l.. 1ckes, one of Sen
ator Johnson's personal friends, who
has volunteered his services, and Mr..
Hitchcock. 1t looks as If one or the
other will have to get out.
Unless there is an awakening on the
part of the Johnson propagandists,
the President is likely to bag a big
majority of the Illinois delegates.
No one denies that there is a little
nervousness among the republican
leaders over the Teapot Dome scan
their enthusiasm for Coolidge, and all
expect to. find the President doing
something spectacular that will en-
dear him to the hearts of the people;
something dramatic, such as the set
Ting of the Boston police strike.
which is credited here with playing
big part in elevating Coolidge to
the presidency.
The friends of Gov. Small and Will
liam Hale Thompson will make no
fight for delegates unless there is a
change of heart. and if there is an
opening to start a boom in the con-
vention for Frank o. Lowden, Illi-
nois' war governor probably could
have all OF the delegates not pledged
TO Johnson. The Lowden people are
perking up a little over the develop
ments in Washington and will not
disband until the decision of the ma
tional convention is made known. If
Coolidge is not to be nominated. then
the Lowden managers tfeel, the Cool

to swing to Lowden than to Senator
Johnson. There has been no Lowden
