Democratic figures of the hour. and
they insist that IL John w. Davis is
defeated next November, Gov. Smith
VIII at once become a national figure.
Curiously enough. the Republican
choice of candidate for governor de-
pends in large measure upon what Gov.
Smith decides to do about his own can
didacy. There are two leading possi-
bilities in the Republican field. One is
Edward Machold, speaker Of the Assem-
bly,. regarded as eminently qualified for
the governorship by reason of his long
acquaintance with State legislation and
State affairs. II Smith were nomi-
mated it is not thought that Machold
would run, as 1t is believed that, bar
ring a Coolidge landslide, Gov Smith
would probably defeat Machold, and the
organization does not want to lose his
services by having him placed on the
retired list as a lame duck in politics.
Col. Hayward Considered.
Another formidable Republican can
ddate Is United States District Attor-
ney William Hayward He commanded
colored regiment in France and has
a splendid war record. He is well liked
by the Republican politicians and would
be an Offset to the strong detection to
the Republican ticket which exists
among the negro vote in New York.
The Republican managers are seri-
ously disturbed over the state of the
negro vote growing out Of the Ku Klux
Khan. They are threatening to leave
the Republican party by the thousands
and as there are entire sections Of the
city densely populated by negroes, the
situation is regarded as serious. The
Democratic managers are most astutely
fomenting the disaffection among the
negroes. pointing to John w. Davis an
t-klan declaration as earnest of his
good intention toward them.
The Democrats have other timber
than Gov Smith. however. if it comes
to a pinch, and they can't get the gov
ernor.
Other Democratic Timber.
Lieut. Gov. Lunn is the leading al
tentative Democratic candidate. He
was Socialist and now Democrat,
but still has socialistic leanings and
would be expected to draw from the
La Toilette strength. Mayor Hylan is
definitely out of the running for the
governorship by his own declaration.
Thus far William r Hearst is not man
ifestng any particular interest in the
governorship nomination and the poll
ticians are waiting for his next move.
The Republican organization in New
York City is seriously impaired by lack
of effective leadership. President Cool
idge will have to carry all the ticket by
his own prestige. The local organiza-
ton is founded upon very petty basis
and is suspected Of existing only for the
obtaining of small offices through petty
intrigue with Tammany.
1t is said that Tammany Is very much
concerned over the hold which Senator
La Toilette appears to have upon an
element of the voters Several Tam
many candidates for Congress are said
to be dickering with Senator La Fol-
lette for the Progressive Endorsement
for their candidacy

Candidates Who Support Secret
Order-Others Oppose It.
sneci., Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SEATTLE, Wash, August 30-On
the eve Of the primary elections in
the State the Ku Klux Klan issue
cratic and Republican parties, and
the results of this will have consid-
erable effect upon the presidential
campaign. Ten Republican candi-
dates seek nomination. Four Demo-
Gratis are filed.
One Republican candidate, w. H.
Paulhamus of Sumner. has fndorsed
the Klan. Another. Lieut.. Gov. w. J.
Coyle, has denounced it. The other
candidates are non-committaL In the
Democratic ranks one candidate, E. F.
Blaine, has denounced the Khan. The
others are non-committal.
The raising of the issue may bring
a test of the Klan strength. If this
occurs, the fight rests between Paul
hamus and Coyle. and II the klan
holds the strength claimed, it will
nominate the Republican candidate.
In this State the Klan has already
openly repudiated La Toilette and
Davis, but is uncertain in it's atti-
tude toward Coolidge. The success
of the Paulhamus support, however,
will hold to the Republican ranks a
large following which normally
would go to La Toilette, and this is
causing worry in the La Toilette
ranks.
Straw ballots taken in various sec
tions of the State show Coolidge
holding approximately IS per cent of
the vote, La Toilette IS per cent and
Davis 20 per cent. This average has
held good in both urban and suburban
districts where polls have been
made.
Washington's registration for the
primaries is approximately what 1t
was two years ago at the same time.
A vote Of 100000 is expected in the
primaries, of which virtually $50. 200
will be Republican, as the La Toilette
strength intends to participate In the
Republican primaries, and the Demo-
Gratis have but one contest, that for
governor. JAMES DEK BROWN.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, August 30
Charles C. Dawes pronouncement on
the Ku Klux klan has been the high
light of political discussion in In
diana for the last week. 1t came as
distinct shock to the Republican
organization, which is trying to elect
Ed Jackson, Ran-s supported candi
date for governor. ana as Joyful news
to the Democrats, who are seeking
victory on an anti-Klan platform.
The Republican gloom. however,
was somewhat dissipated when high
klan officials, after reading the COM
plete text of the nominees asser
tfonS, failed to take umbrage AS Il
result the Republicans are preparing
to send full copies of the statement
broadcast over the State in the hope
OF keeping wavering Klansmen in line
on the belief that Dawes had not
spanked the organization as hard as
it first was believed he had.
1t was an additional blow. however,
to Republican hopes of keeping In
diana's $4,000 colored voters in the
G. o. p. column. For some reason
the negro leaders got the impression
that Dawes had praised the Klan and
1T will require some heroic work on
the part of Republicans to dispel that
idea. If they work too energetically
at that task, however. it is apt TO
convince klansmen that they were
attacked. hence it assumes the pro-
portions of a two-edged sword.
Democrats generally were pleased
over John w. Davis attack on the
klan and propose to permit no letup
in their anti-Klan crusade to elect
Carleton B. McCulloch governor.
Democratic orators, unmindful of the
fact that many Democrats are mem
bers of the hooded organiza ton, have
taken their keynote from Davis and
are lamb sting the organization.
They believe they will more than
offset their losses by gains from Re
publicans who cannot swallow Jack
son and his klan supporters.

FRANCES BACKING
: TO HELP COOLIDGE
Expected to Draw Votes
Which Otherwise Would Have
Gone to La Toilette.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE. August 3o.-An-
nouncement by former Senator
Joseph Irwin France. on his return
from abroad this week. that he would
support President Coolidge and take
an active part in the campaign solid
1fied the Republican party in Mary
land and assures the national candi-
dates an even more united party
than that which carried the State by
$4,000 for President Harding.
The announcement by Senator
France. who, running as a Repub-
lican, was defeated for reelection
two years ago by Senator William
Caben Bruce, has been awaited with
considerable interest in party circles,
as fears were entertained that he
might espouse the cause of La Fol
lette, having been known as radi-
cal while in the Senate.
Despite the fact that he was de-
ieated for reelection, Mr.. France still
has a large following throughout the
State, especially among the classes to
whom La Toilette is expected to ap-
peal, and by getting actively into the
campaign. party leaders believe he
will be able to keep a number of
votes from going to the third party.
G. o. p. to Work Hard.
Evidence that the Republicans will
bend every effort to carry the State
for Coolidge and Dawes was given
this week when the largest head
quarters ever occupied by any politi-
cal party in Maryland were opened
In a downtown Office building here.
This will be the joint home of the
State committee, the city committee
and the Republican congressional
Candidates.
Active campaign work will not
start, however, until after the visit
st President Coolidge. who will speak
at the unveiling of the Lafayette
statue here next Saturday.
The campaign will >e conducted
personally by Senate: -. +. Weller
and Galen L. Tai., chairman of the
State central committee, and a train
ing school for speakers with several
Republican lawyers as instructors
will be established.
The Democratic campaign will get
under way with the meeting of the
state central committee here WedneS-
day. at which an effort will be made
to hal several sore spots said to
exit.
States Rights Is Issue.
States rights, it is said. will be
made one of the leading issues in the
Democratic campaign, in an effort to
retain the wet vote.
The La, Toilette campaign will be
started in Baltimore within the next
ten days, 1t was announced today at
State headquarters here. Campaign
plans include a small army of speak
ers to cover the State thoroughly by
trucks and autos. with special stress
being laid on Baltimore, western
Maryland and the Eastern Shore,
where the third party leaders expect
to make their best showing.
Campaign organizations will be
started as soon as possible in all
counties. About $4,000 are expected
to hear Senator La Follette'S speech
broadcast at the Federation of La
bor celebration here Monday, and
Progressive speakers of national
reputation will be brought into the
State after the campaign gets going.
Congressional tickets of both par
ties were completed this week.

s. DAKOTA IS LOST.
La Toilette Said to Expect
Democratic Votes to Keep
State From Coolidge.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D.. August 30
The claim of the supporters Of Sem
ator La Toilette that South Dakota Is
included in the States which the Wis
consin candidate for President of the
United States expects to carry nat
urally has created keen interest
among those who usually are well
informed as to the political situa-
tion in South Dakota.
The Republicans of the State do
not for a moment concede that SEN
ator La Toilette has even fighting
chance of carrying South Dakota in
November, asserting that President
Coolidge will carry the State by
anywhere from 10000 to $4,000 or
$4,000 over La Toilette, basing their
prediction on the large Republican
majority in South Dakota over the
hosts of the opposition.
Expect Democratic Votes.
Neverthele State supporters OF
La Toilette, who include some of the
shrewdest politicians in the State
profess the utmost confidence that
South Dakota will line up in the La
Toilette column at the November
election. The editor of the Woon-
socket Herald Times. who has taken
an active part in all State campaigns
for the past 25 or 80 years, claims
to have information that thousands
of South Dakota Democrats. realiz-
ing that they cannot carry South
Dakota for their candidate for Presi-
dent Of the United States, will vote
for Senator La Toilette. in the hope
of keeping South Dakota out of the
Republican column at the November
election.
1t is conceded that from the Dem

politics, but those in touch with af-
fairs of the Republican party in
South Dakota make light of the al
legged plan and assert that even if the
anti Republican forces were united
to man in support of Senator La
Toilette for President they could not
prevent South Dakota from going to
President Coolidge at the November
election. 1t is thought that much
will be heard during the campaign in
this State in reference to the Demo-
Gratis of the State throwing their
votes to Senator La Toilette.

IDAHO REPUBLICAN
is FACING COMBINE
Return of Burton L. French to
Congress Contested by Democrat
Progressive Fusionists.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BOISE. Idaho. August 30.-The pos
sibility that Democrat may succeed
Representative Burton L. French Re-
publican. of the first district, Idaho, is
the outstanding item of national in
tereSt to come from Idaho following
the nominating conventions of all
parties held Tuesday. Mr.. French
will be opposed in the coming cleo
tion by Perry Mitchell, Democrat, of
Nez Perce County, who has been nom
mated in fusion agreement by both
the Democratic and Progressive par
ties.
The original fusion plan between
these two parties included both con-
gressional districts and the filling of
two vacancies on the State supreme
bench. The plan fell through as far
as the second congressional district
is concerned when the two parties
could not agree upon a man who
would make reasonable showing
against Representative Addison T.
Smith.
The Republican convention renomi-
mated Senator Borah by acclamation
and the Progressive convention also
nominated him for the United States
Senate on their ticket.
With practically four complete tick
cts in the field and the present Re
publican State officers renominated
and starting the campaign with a
record of having reduced taxes over
II per cent during the first year in
office. the Republicans are strong
favorites in the early betting on the
election outcome. The only situation
that the Republicans consider dan
gerouS is that of the fusion oppoSi-
tion in the first congressional district.
