Special Dispa tch to The Star.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla. September
27.-Local Republicans are excited
over recent meeting in Orlando.
over which, it is stated. w. c. Lawson
presided, and at which attempts were
made to further the interests of the
so-called Lilly Whites in the party.
The meeting is reported to have
adopted a resolution which reads as
follows:
I'VE believe that participation by
negroes in our political councils, mass
meetings or conventions is harmful
to the people of both races and
should be discouraged"
This was supposed to be a part of
the platform adopted by the Orange
County Republicans. but it was en-
phatically declared by the State chair
man of the central committee. Daniel
T. Gerow, and George w. Bean, na-
tional committeeman, that the Or
ange County enthusiasts had no au-
thority for such action and that it
was all wrong. In an interview pub
lished in the Times-Union, Jackson
vile, Gerow and Bean both denounced
the tactics OF those who would UNDER
take to interject race prejudices or
discrimination into political affairs in
Florida.
This has been the only ripple on the
political waters in the past month or
two in Florida. The disturbance is
not regarded as serious, and no
doubt the Republican vote will, as
usual, be at full strength. In a num-
ber of counties great effort will be
made to get member of the legisla-
ture-and there is a possibility of
such a thing happening.
1t Is also understood that the La
Toilette ticket has some strength in
the State, although there has been
very little said on the subject and no
public demonstration.
The Democratic majority possible is
overwhelming and a very strong eff
fort is being made by the State press
to bring out the vote. In previous
elections the primary has been con-
sidered final and many voters have
stayed away from the polls election

Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star
SIOUX FALLS, S. Oak. September
27.-Many leading South Dakota Re
publicans, since the recent address in
SIOUX Falls Of Charles G. Dawes, Re-
publican vice presidential candidate,
are asserting that the visit of Gen
Dawes and his address clinches South
Dakota in the Republican column, and
that the estimated Republican plurality
of not less than 10000 at the November
election will be swelled many thousands
by the address Republican scouts, who
recently have visited different parts Of
South Dakota to sound political senti-
ment among the farmers and others,
are quoted as reporting that there is a
distinct waning in the strength of La
Toilette among the rank and file of
voters.
One Of the arguments being used in
some quarters in South Dakota in be-
half of the Republican national ticket
is to the effect that great majority of
the man and woman voters of the State
desire to have a hand in the naming Of
the next President, and that they can
not do this by voting for Senator La
Toilette for President, whose supporters,
1t is pointed out, do not claim that he
will carry over two or three States.
An interesting development in South
Dakota Republican circles during recent
days was the announcement by Gov. w,
H. McMaster, Republican nominee for
the United States Senate. that he would
support Coolidge and Dawes. For some
weeks his position had been in doubt,
because of the fact that in the March
primary campaign, although he had filed
| a written acceptance Of the Republican
State platform, which indorsed the can
didacy of Calvin Coolidge. he later
"bolted" the State Endorsement Of Cool
idge and came out strongly in support
of Senator Hiram johnson for President,
using his personal and political infiu.
ence in carrying the State for johnson
at the March primary election.
1t is significant that in making his
public statement that he would support
Coolidge and Dawes, Gov. McMaster
| went further and said:
IL will support President Coolidge
and also the congressional and entire
State ticket, but will advocate every
policy / advocated during the primary
last Spring.
That he has not changed his mind
about joining the farm bloc was indi-
Gated when he, in his recent public
statement, said: -
There are certain things necessary
to be done to restore the buying power
of the farmer. If it is necessary to join
a farm bloc, or anything else, I shall
join"
This has caused many South Dakota
Republicans to wonder IL he will stand
with the Republican national party on
important policies which come before
the Senate should he in November be
elected a member Of that body.

IDAHO STILL HELD SAFE
FOR COOLIDGE AND DAWES
Davis. in Opinion of Some, May
Poll More Votes Than

Special nisnat tch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BOISE. Idaho, September 2T.-The
1924 political campaign is under way
in Idaho. The Pregresives have had
speakers in the field for two weeks.
Gov. Moore fired the first gun for the
Republicans at HALEY, September %,
and the Democratic candidate for
governor will open the campaign on
October 4.
There is no question about Idaho
being carried by Coolidge and Moore
and there will be no slip-up in this
program. The general sentiment
among Republicans is that there shall
be no let-up until they break the tape
on election day. The Progresives
who started an early campaign are
already losing some ground that was
conceded to them two weeks ago and
give some indications of over conf
dence due to the fact that they
pushed the Democrats out of second
place in the State campaign two
years ago.
The Democrats have able leader
ship this year. are saving their cards
and when the time comes are ex-
pected to play them well. Although
La Toilette seems to be in second
place today, many of the wise ones
see signs indicating that John w. Davis
will have more votes than La Toilette
on election day. Dawes strikes the
popular Imagination in Idaho. Many
sections are clamoring to have the
national committee let him come to
Idaho and make speaking tour
