LA Toilette TICKET

10 Legal Obstacles to Be Placed

this Stae.
Liberals in both the Democratic and
Republican parties urced that legal

Srate board of elections so that La
follette might have chance to be
v"t"d Or. &: this State. They might
not have been SO liberal if there had
been a chance for La Toilette to get
anywhere.
Despite the popular idea of the
South, the margin of votes between
the Democrats and the Republicans is
not SO large. In the last National
lection, the Republican party in
North Carolina got 100000 and the
Democrats only carried the State by
about 10000. The most optimistic
Lid Toilette supporter does not figure
on his getting more than $4,000 and
that is admittedly a liberal estimate

The Republicans. on the other hand,
are quite willing to gamble on the

CLOSE INDIANA RACE
FOR GOVERNORSH|P
KIan Issue Is Causing the
G. O. P. Concern-CooIidge
Held Certain Winner.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October f.
With Indiana claimed as safe for
President Coolidge, political attention
in the State is centered on the race
between Ed Jackson. klsn-backe Re
publican nominee for governor. and
DIR. Carleton B. McCuiloch, the Demo-
cratic anti-klan nominee
1t is generally agreed that the race
between the governorShip nominees is
close, although extravagant claims
are made by each side. Observers see
decided tendency on the part of many
Republicans to vote for Coolidge and
Dawes and scratch Jackson and the
State ticket On the other hand, a
number of Democratic klansmen are
expected to desert their party to sup
port Jackson.
One of the striking features of the
campaign is the manner in which the
Republican organization is cutting
jackson. This has become SO pro-
nounced that the klan, headed by Wal
ter Bossert, grand dragon. has placed
a separate campaign organization in
the field to look after Jacksons inter-
ests alone.
AS result considerable criticism
is being directed by the jackson forces
at the so-called Watson wing of the
party which dominates the State COM
mlttee. Senator watson. however, is
making speeches throughout the State
and urging Jackson's election.
The jackson forces assert that the.
old New and Beveridge factions are
also sighting the governorship candi-
date Beveridge has volunteered to
make 13 speeches in the State but be-
cause the bookings have not all been
made. his friends are asserting that
the Watson-controlled speakers bureau
has been dilatory in order to thwart
what many believe is a move on the
part of Beveridge to wrest the sena-
torship nomination from Watson in
1926. HAROLD c. F'E,IGHTNER.

SOUTH DAKOTA SEEN
SURE FOR COOLIDGE
Political Observers Declare Presi.
dent Will Lead La Toilette by
More Than 10000.

SIOUX FALLS, s. Oak, October g.
Notwithstanding the mixed political
situation in South Dakota, those in
touch with the Republican campaign
are emphatic in predicting that South
Dakota will be carried by Coolidge
and Dawes by a plurality of upward
OF $4,000 over La Toilette. The Demo-
Gratis, so far as surface indications go.
are doing comparatively little in
south Dakota to advance their ma
tonal ticket. their efforts largely
betng conce ntrated on the offices of
United States Senator and governor.
The national contest in this State is
clearly between Coolidge and Dawes
on the one hand and La Toilette and
Wheeler on the other.
Straw votes recently taken in wide
ly separated parts of South Dakota
all show a trend toward Coolidge and
Dawes, some of these ballots giving
Coolidge and Dawes two-to-one
vote over La Toilette, the significant
feature. Of some of the two-to-one
votes being that they were taken in
farming communities where the La
Toilette supporters have maintained
that La Toilette and Wheeler were
unusually strong
In support of their predictions that
South Dakota at the election in
and Dawes. the Republicans point %
their heavy plurality in South Dakota
at the presidential election four years
ago. and which showed little change
in the State election two wears ago.
In 1929 South Dakota cast approx
imatcly $4,000 votes. Of which 110, 900
were Republican. 5000 Democratic,
1000 Independent and $4,000 for the
Non partisan League group.
The Republicans of South Dakota
were divided into two hostile camps
during the primary campaign. which
eliminated in the primary election
on March c5 last the bone of con-
tention being whether the State
should send to the national conven-
tion a delegation favoring the nomina-
ton Of Coolidge, or one fayoring the
nomination of Senator Hiram Johnson
for the office of President These diff
ferences over presidential candidates
in the Spring primary campaign, ac-
cording to those in close touch with
the Republican campaign in South
Dakota. have since been ironed out.
Political observers predict South
Dakota will be carried by Coolidge
and Dawes at the November election
by a plurality which may reach as
high as 10000 or 50,0oo.

November In the process of more
amicable adjustment the Johnson
organization men were given prac-
tically the control of the Republican
State committee.
Tied Tight to Party.
These Johnson supporters. there
fore, are tied tight to the Coolidge
bandwagon. They say that they are
for him loe per cent. The manager
of Johnson's campaign during the
primary campaign, when the Senator
was seeking the preference of the
voters against President Coolidge for
the nomination, is one of them. They
still insist that johnson is a great
leader, and that his strength is un-
impaired in California. But there
are others who think differently in
this regard.
Should Johnson suddenly announce
himself against Coolidge and for La
Toilette, a very embarrassing Situa-
ton might arise for the Senator with
his old-time allies in the Coolidge
camp. Furthermore, when Senator
johnson was a candidate on the Bull
Moose ticket with Theodore Roosc-
Welt and La Follette's aid was needed
La Toilette withheld it Again in
1920, when Senator johnson was
striving nightly for the presidential

other States. He has the support OF
German Am erican voters and he has

backing him. This is true not only of

comment OF one of the La Toilette
managers. But just now no one
knows what the farmers are going to
