LOUISVILLE, KY, January 12.-
Kentucky is determined to be the
first on the Coolidge band wagon.
This is seen in the decision of the
republican state central committee
to hold the state convention Febru-
ary IL, when four delegates at large
and four alternates will be named to
the convention at Cleveland.
An indication that the kentucky
Grand Old Party faithful are losing
no time is seen in the semi -official
announcement that the four delegates
probably will be Senator Richard Z.
Ernst. Charles I. Dawson, recently
defeated gubernatorial candidate; ;
Mrs. Alvin I. Hert, widow of the for
mer national committeeman, and Dr.
w. t. Merchant, a Louisville negro

A movement to nominate Senator

County conventions are to be held
February 8. and district conventions,

mates Will be named at each, on Feb

LOS ANGELES. Januery 12.-The
presidential primary contest in CAL
ifornia may be decided by new voters
who have come into the state since
the 1920 national campaign. The con-
dition Is becoming more assured as
the presidential fight develops. and
campaign managers both for Presi-
dent Coolidge and Senator Hiram
johnson are prepared to devote ex-
traordinary attention to this element
OF the California electorate.
Those who profess to understand
and analyze such matters assert that
the candidacy of President Coolidge
in California is greatly aided thereby.
The probable relative strength of the
voters who have come to California
during the last forty months is seen
in the estimate Of state and county
officials that fully 60 per cent of the
Guadrennial increase in California; S
total registration consists of former
residents of other states.
This situation appears even more
striking when applied to actual and
estimated registration figures and in
dicates that not less that $4,000 of
Californias estimated registration of
100000 for the 1924 presidential pri-
mary will represent a bloc of votes
hitherto distributed throughout the
nation.

alignment of the California vote is

more favorable to Mr.. Coolidge than
to his chief opponent in this state
are based on the assumption that
Senator Johnson will adhere to his
established plan of campaign pro-
cedure.
The senator has followed this pro-
cedure with but slight variation In
all of his campaigns subsequent to
his early contests for governor and
more or less expectant of finding him
In his accustomed role. His system
consists of vigorous review or MS
accomplishments while governor and
has virtually ignored his record as
United States senator except as that
record may be related to his attitude
on foreign relations.
He has adhered so strictly, In his
California senatorial campaigns, to
an exposition of his gubernatorial
policies and the political friendships
and enmities OF that time. that his
senatorial activities have been quite
overshadowed in any event, sup
porters of President Coolidge insist
that. all things being equal. Cali
fornia voters are losing interest in
the senator's former exploits and that
as for the impressive group of new
voters this portion of the electorate
is wholly Indifferent and far more
concerned with issues confined to the
present contest. Admitting some
truth exists in this, supporters Of
Senator johnson are persistent, how
ever, In asserting their belief that
Mr.. Johnson is stronger in California
than ever before and that he has
nothing to fear in the approaching
contest.

part Of this month and his man
ayers are making confident claims.
In North Dakota q republican fac
t1onal fight may result in sending
two sets Of delegates to Cleve-
land. but, az both delegations are
likely to be composed wholly or
largely OF avowed Coolidge sup
porters, the outcome Is not of
major national interest OF real
interest Is the North Dakota Nom
Partfsan League convention, to be
held February s. If It follows
the lead of the league-controlied
state committee and declares for
the shouting.
In all parts OF the country Cool
idge and johnson organizers are
active. In Arizona Coolidge clubs
are oeing organized, republican
newspapers are declaring for the
fresioents nomination and the
state no longer is practically con-
ceded to johnson. as was the case
a few months ago. In Pennsyl-
vania the situation Ia still mud
oied. despite Gov. Pinchot's an
nouncement that he is a candi-
cate Tor delegate-at-large to the
cleveland convention. The gov
efnor Is still silent as to his own
presidential aspirations. and so
ions as he Is silent the organiza-
tion leaders will strive for an un-
instructed delegation. should the
governor become an avowed can
oioate these same leaders will
ABOUT face and demand fnstruc-
tions for Coolidge.
There has been something OF a
luil In democratic presidential
politics. possibly pending selection
by the national committee at its
meeting here next Tuesday of the
time and place for holding the
national convention.
Probably the most important de-
Feiopmert was announcement by
McAdoo's manager that Mr.. Nc
Adoo does not favor abrogation
OF the two-thirds convention rule
nag IN aavance OF the making of this
been many predictions that Nc
Adoo would repeat the experience
or Champ Clark at Baltimore-that
he would capture q majority Of the
delegates. but would be unable to
get the necessary two-thirds. In
view OF these predictions there
has been speculation as to
whether McAdoo is extremely con-
fident or extremely self-sacrif1c-
ing.
Other democratic developments
OF the week were the formal
launching by the West Virginia
state committee OF a preside tiai
boom for John w. Davis, and In
cipient vice presidential booms for
Gov. Ritchie of Maryland and Gov.
Brown Of New Hampshire. Gov
Ritchie's admirers also are doing
q little dark horse grooming for
first place on the ticket, in event
the democratic convention should
be liberal and become deadlocked.

BALL ENTRENCHES
FOR WARM BATTLE
District Committee Head in
Senate Gains Strength in
Party Ranks.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


WILMINGTON, Del, January H.
While that faction of the republican
party led by Gen. T. Coleman DUPONT
is apparently floundering around
without any definite plan to block
the efforts of Senator l.. H. Ball from
being renominated senator, Ball is
entrenching himself. Being the only
republican in Congress from Delware
he is getting all the federal patron
age, which is making him solid with
the rank and file of the party here.
For some time there has been much
dissatisfaction among the negroes.
The claim has been made that they
are not getting what they should In
the way of offices. AS an offset to
this argument. Senator Ball has Sc
cured the appointment of Jefferson
S. Coage of this state as economic
commissioner In the Department Of
Labor In Washington. This IS the
highest position in the federal gov
ernment held by a negro.
Committee Meeting Set.
The meeting of the republican state
committee next month to artanga for
the state convention in Dover III April
holds the center Of interest now. The
committee will arrange for the pri-
mary election to elect delegates to the
convention. This convention will
name a new state committee and Sc
iect the nine delegates to the ma
tional convention. Gov. William d.
Denney, former Gov. John G. Town
send, Col. Thomas w. Miller, Cen I.
Coleman dupont. Senator l.. II. Ball,
Mrs. Donald s. Ashbrook and former
Gov. Charles r. Miller are some Of
the names mentioned as likely can
didates. Politicians see in the can
didacy of former Gov. Miller and Maj.
Mitchell revival Of the old political
feud of four years ago. The Ball
men will be for Mitchell and the for
mer followers of T. c. DUPONT Will
be behind Miller.
The friends of Gen. dupont are
somewhat peeved because the general
has decided to go to Florida when
the political pot is boiling so fiercely.
They claim that as Mr.. dupont wants
to be national committeeman again
and desires to block the nomination
of DR.. Ball, he should be here to help
arrange the preliminary work of the
campaign. c. E. GRAZ.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, January l2.
THAT the republicans Of New Mex
leo will nominate a Spanish-Ameri-
can for the governorship this year to
capture the Snanish- American vote
and regain the political prestige
wrested from them in 1922, is pretty
generally conceded.
Some advance the name OF o. A..
Larrazola, Albuquerque attorney and
former governor, as the best bet.
Many political dopesters, however.
are speaking OF Manuel Otero, promi-
nent Bernalillo county republican
ranchman. There are rumors that
Frank Hubbell, for many years the
republican leader of Bernalillo county.
would take the nomination.
That the democrats may also nom-
mate a spanish-American is consider
ed quite likely, and Lieut.. Gov. Jose
Baca Of Las Vegas Is being men
toned. In the event Spanish
American is not nominated, Gov.
James r. Hinkle Is being spoken Of
for denomination.
Another name has been added to the
list of possibilities for the democratic
nomination for the United States SEN
atorship. that Of r. l. Young, promi-
nent lawyer OF Dona Ana county.
Even some of the staunchest support
ers of Senator H. o. Bursum fear that
Young would poll substantial ma
forify over Bursum In Dona Ana
county. although they believe that
arainst any other democratic candi-
date in the state Dona Ana county
would give Bursum good majority.

BALTIMORE, January 12.-While
Gov. Albert G. Ritchie has publicly
announced that he is not a candidate
for national honors of the demo-
cratic party. political leaders in
Maryland say that in advocating
states rights in his inaugural ad-
dress he sounded the keynote Of the
party's platform and placed himself
squarely in line for the vice presi-
entail nomination.
Politicians point to the fact that
after reviewing the progress Of
Maryland for the past four years and
outlining the program to be carried
out during the three years of his
second term, the governor devoted
the major portion of his address to
national questions, attacking the
government on it's taxation of the
people and the constantly increasing
interference with the local self-goV-
ernment Of the states.
In commenting on Gov. Ritchie's
inaugural address and Its political
Significance, one of the shrewdest
politicians in the state today said

"In making this prediction, how
ever, am not unmindful OF the fact
that the rest of the country at the
present time has not the same feel
ing towards states rights and pro-
hibition that we have in Maryland,
but this sentiment can be worked up
and made to play an important part
in the election
Listen to the part Of his inaugural
address, referring to taxes and tax
alton, and you will see that it is
an appeal not alone to the voters of
Maryland, but to the voters of the
entire country:
"In 1929 the federal government
collected from the people of Maryland

S4597l936 This was per capita

things he would like to talk about in

intimations here that the governor
may go 1t alone, but the republican

legislative program he has to get
through if he in to be a factor in the

considerable activity among his fol-

the people boosting him are not heavy
enough to combat the organization.
Asks Freedom OF Action.
What the governor wants is free
dom OF action. In the next few days
he will make some speeches, includ-
ing one at Washington on Wednesday,
to the Anti-Saloon League, which
may be Indicative of his attitude. He
needs to preserve a certain measure
