DEMOCRATS DIVIDED.
North Dakota Situation May Have
Bearing on Presidency.
Special pisnatcb to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BISMARCK, n. D., April 1s.-The
Democratic party in North Dakota,
in spite of harmony efforts made, ap-
pears divided into two camps, with
out much hope of unity in state af-
fairs and perhaps not a united front
In the national campaign in the fall.
The situation has drifted to q point
where 1t may affect not only the Re-
publican fortunes in the state, but
In the nation as well.
Both Gaius NJ. Wooiedge and
James e. Campbell, each claiming to
be chairman of the Democratic state
central committee, have called con-
ventions to nominate state tickets.
The Wooledge faction. in all proba-
bility. will name DR.. La S. Platou of
Fargo. an open opponent of William
g. McAdoo, for governor. Both Dem
ocratic factions this year have de-
dared against fusion, and should they
take enough votes from Gov. Nestos
in the June primary to defeat him
the Democrats would demand the
united support of the "fndepe ndents"
or anti-Nonpartisan Beaguers, in the
fall--a situation which would reflect
to the great advantage of the demo-
cratic candidate for President in the
state. w. S. NEAL

Massachusetts. though there is
disposition among Democrats there
10 let sentiment crystallize before
committing themselves. In Mary
land the Democrats have their
eyes on Smith. and he is regarded
as likely to get the solid deiega-
ton from that state after a com
plimentary vote for Gov. Ritchie.
New Jersey. where primaries are
to be held Tuesday, has Demo-
cratic favorite son in the person

The McAdoo candidacy continues
TO make progress in the west and
south. according to dispatches to
The Star. A tactical victory was
scored in Kentucky. where the
Democratic state committee, by a
vote of 20 to Is. fixed May Ia as
the state convention date. The
anti-McAdoo forces had sought to
have the state convention a month
later. There is a lot of antf-Mc-
Adoo sentiment in Kentucky. but
il is scattered. Underwood, Da-
Wis, Ralston and Glass all have
followings, with some effort being
made to organize sentiment for
Cox, but belief is expressed that
unless these factions can get to-
gether McAdoo is likely. TO cap
ture majority of the delegates,
and under the unit rule would
have the solid delegation.
From Nebraska comes word that
after complimentary vote for
Gov. Bryan the delegation is like
least a ballot or two. This in ap-
probation of the fact that McAdoo
refrained from entering the Ne
braska primaries. Whether il
would stick to McAdoo probably
would depend upon the showing he
made. Down in Mississippi, nat
Oral Underwood territory, a move
ment has been started to instruct
the delegation for Senator Pat
Harrison, with the hope that the
senator may eventually land sec
ond place. Also il may operate to
head off Underwood instructions.
With the nomination of Coolidge
on the first ballot now practically
assured, apathy has come over the
Republican situation. About the
only place where there is a show
OF fight is California. where with
the johnson organization il is a
matter of self preservation should
the johnson men there throw up
the sponge and permit Californ ia
to join the Coolidge procession IL
would mean a new deal all around
IN Republican state politics So
they are keepino nm the coptaSt
and just now are hoping. their
cause will be aided through veto
by the President of the immigra-
ton bill. They believe that be-
cause OF Japanese exclusion senti-
ment veto would give them the
edge over the Coolidge opposition.

OMAHA. Neb., April 9-Nebraska's
sixteen delegates to the Democratic

at least one ballot. This much will
be done in return for McAdoo's re-

WILMINGTON. Del. April 1s.-Eow
that the primary elections for delegates
to the state convention are over, and
it seems assured that Coleman du Pont
will be elected national committeeman
from Delaware, Republican politicians
are specuiating over the makeup of the
delegation to Cleveland. 1t was report
nd today that friends of Col. Henry A
du Pont and Alfred /. du Pont are plan
ming to make a fight to have the pair
sent to the national convention to repre-
sent rural New Castle County This
means that Wilmington, with half the
population of the state, will get but one
delegate. Those who have been men,
toned as possible members of the Della
ware delegation are Col. Thomas w.
Miller, Robert H. Richards, T. c. du
Pont. Mrs. Julia Ashbrook, Senator l.
H. Ball and Mrs. William du Pont
There was little opposition to the cleo
tion Of Coleman du Pont from Whining

forces led by James Frank Alice will
strenuously oppose him in the Kent
County caucus on Tuesday. In Sussex
County much Of the opposition has been
eliminated, and IL is claimed that he

PROBLEMS SIMILAR
Each Has One Weak Delegate on
Slate in Ohio Primary-Daugh-
erty Result Doubtful.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

COLUMBUS Ohio, April 1e.-The
Ohio situation as to the selection of
delegates to the national conventions
is very much the same on both sides
of the party line. The Coolidge man
agement here, confident that the
overwhelming majority of the Re
publicans are behind President Cool
idge, still fear that they may lose
one delegate candidate, former At
torney General Harry M. Daugherty,
and the Cox management, equally
give former Gov. James M. Cox a tre-
10 uendous majority, is concerned about
one of their candidates for delegate.
Edmund H Moore Of Youngstown.
In each case it is the lack of party
strength in the delegate candidate,
not the lack of popularity in the
presld ntial candidate. that causes
the uneasiness. The facts in the case
of Mr.. Daugherty have too recently
been made public to need any more
than mere reference here. In the
case of Mr.. Moore they are not so
well known. The Cox managers here
admit that Moore is weak in his dis
trict. He is known as one OF the
most active vets in the state The
dry element will not support him in
his ambition to be made a national
delegate.
The other reason for his weakness
lies in the fact that two years ago
he openly fought A V. Donahey, the
regular Democratic candidate for
governor.
May Let McAdoo Man In.
Not all of Moore's foes will vote
for a McAdoo candidate. to be sure,
but many of them will, and since
McAdoo is next after Gov Cox the
most popular candidate for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination here
in Ohio, it may not take SO many
negative votes in Moore's case to put
q McAdoo man over.
1t is much more likely that the Cox
delegation may be ''nicked" in this
way than that the Coolidge deiega-
tion will be. In the presidential
preference vote here Mr.. Coolidge is
likely TO run right away from Senator
Johnson, go that Mr. DHugherty would
have to make a sorry showing indeed
to fall below the highest candidate
on the Johnson ticket.

ELIZABETH. n. J.. April 1s-The

New Jersey Tuesday. and as the cam

would greatly surprise seasoned OBJ

This year he stacks up against a con-

SIOUX FALLS, S. Oak, April i9.-
Everything indicates that there will
be a battle royal in South Dakota
during the fall campaign over the
office of United States senator. One
of the chief figures in the battle, SO
far as now is known, will be U. s. G,
Cherry, a Sioux Falls man, who is
he Democratic nominee. Efforts are
being made 20 effect a fusion between
all the anti-Republican elements.
Another prominent figure in the SEN
atorial battle will be Gov. w. III. Nc
Master, who at the March primary
election won the Republican nomina-
tion over Senator Thomas Sterling.
It is an open secret in South Da-
kota that the Republicans are by no
means united upon Gov. McMaster
for the senatorial toga.
Many of the Coolidge Republicans
of South Dakota contend that Gov.
McMaster's action in "bolting the

AID IL not been for the New

AID it not been for the New
- York state conventions,
and especially the launch
ing of the Al Smith boom
at the Democratic convention, it
would have been a dull week in
national politics. AS it was, the
Democrats have been given some
thing to think about and talk
about. From now on the New
York Governor is bound to be a
factor in the pre-convention cam
paign.
Friends of Gov. Smith do not.
hesitate to give public recognition
70 the two handicsps he Is under.
Ihe nrst is that he is a Roman
catholic. and the second that he is
ciassed among the vets" AS to
now great a handicap his religion
ls no man can tell, because a
Catholic has never yet been a ma
1or party candidate for the presi-
dency. lf religious lines were to
be drawn strictly. Protestants on
one side and Catholics on the
other, no Catholic could, of course,
be elected. But there would be no
such strict drawing OF religious
lines. There are many thousands
of Catholics who would not vote
for candidate they did nat other
wise favor merely because he was
OF their own religious faith. There
are many thousands of Protest
ants who would actually like to
see Catholic elected President
because they believe in the fun
damental American doctrine of re-
ligious tolerance. But there is no
blinking the fact that by nominat-
ing Catholic the Democrats
would deliberately sacrifice many
thousands OF votes which. other
wise they might expect to get. So
II would be an experiment, the
outcome of which could not be
seen in advance.
The question of Gov Smiths
views on prohibition are to be con-
sidered from an entirely different
standpoint. Admitting that. the
sentiment of the country as a
whole is dry. there arc many
shrewd politicians who think it
would be good strategy for the
Democrats to nominate man of
at least liberal" views on the
liquor question. They figure that
the Democratic nominee is assured
of the solid south in any event,
so the fact that sentiment in the
south is mainly dry need not be
taken into the reckoning New
York, New Jersey, Massachusetts
and Maryland in the east are
counted in sympathy with liquor
liberality. Illinois, Wisconsin and
California are other states where
there is believed TO be a lighting
chance on the liquor issue, and
with a few votes picked up on
other issues in nominally dry ter
ritory. a wet candidate might at
least have a look-in.
Gov. Smith already has demon
strated remark able vote-getting
qualities in Wisconsin. The New
York launching of his boom met
with a sympathetic response in
