WASHINGTON RACE
GROWING INTENSE
Johnson Forces Sounding Every

SEATTLE, Wash, January 12-
The presidential campaign in this
state is rapidly gaining momentum
The supporters of Senator Hiram
process several months ago. Virtu-
ally every section Of the state was
visited, former progre essive party fol-
lowers were interviewed, and the
Johnson alignment assumed shape
rapidly.
Since then, however, President
Coolidge has delivered his first mes
sage to Congress. Henry Ford. who
had considerable following in the
state. has come outflatfootedly for
President Coolidge and the supporters
Of the administration and state or
ganization of the republican party
has been showing more activity.
The selection OF Mark E. Reed of

Coolidge campaign tended to knit

astute politicians and organizers in

injected into the presidential cam
paign. and efforts are being made to
use It to better the johnson move
ment, without much success to date.
The johnson people, because Of the
close affiliations between the logging
and numbering interests In the south
western part Of the state with San
Francisco people, arc seeking to
swing this faction in behind the Cali
fornia man, without any degree of
success. These efforts, however, are
having some effect upon other sec
tions of the state that are watching
with keen interest the endeavor ar :
results.
Rem Rice, former secretary to for
mer United States Senator Miles Poin
dexter, is in the state in the interests
of the Johnson campaign. Frank
Hitchcock is expected here within a
short time to look over the situation.
Coolidge is stronger today than at
any time since he went to the White
House. His stand upon the bonus bill
will not hurt him here.

TAX PROGRAM TURNS
IDAHO TO COOLIDGE
State Needs Money for Develop
ment and Mellon Plan Held
Sure to Bring It.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOISE, Idaho, January t2.-If Pres
ident Coolidge stands firmly behind
his Secretary OF the Treasury on tax
reduction and unwaveringly with his
Secretary of State in his position
toward Russia, he has little to worry
about as far as Idaho is concerned
politically. This sentiment was ex-
pressed by several leading repub-
licans from over the state, and is un-
mistakably the impression given by
the press generally.
Only a year ago, emerged from a
bitter campaign In which tax reduc-
ton was the outstanding issue, the
successful republican governor has
reduced the tax levy for state pur-
poses over IL per cent. without in
terfering with any essential function
of government, and on the basis of
that record alone, his denomination
and reelection is already conceded.
Idaho has seen taxes reduced, and
will have little patience with any one
or any bloc or party that may pre-
vent the Mellon-Coolidge program
from becoming a reality. Idaho. with
mines to be developed and railroads
TO be built, wants capital in industry
and not in taX-free securities.
No matter what happens TO the
Mellon plan, Coolidge, standing firmly
for it. will make an issue of major
Importance. Idaho doesn't even like
the name Russia. To her it means
country full of dynamiters that is
haven for big Bill Hayw ood.
She is at a loss to know why Sen
ator Borah doesn't forget Russia

While Iowa is still counted a doubt

week v, showing which way the wind
Is blowing on the presidency was the
passage by the senate Of the Bowman
resolution warning the administra-

western vote to have a care for the
plight of the farmer.
The house, sixty-eight of whose
members are farmers, a majority of
whom are well organized into an
agricultural bloc which controls the
house, sent the resolution to commit

The chairman of the farm bloc ex-

OHIO STATE RACE
Will Not Seek Governors
Post-Uncertainties of
Situation Clearing Up.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. January H.
Slowly some of the uncertainties OF
the political situation in Ohio for
1924 are clearing up. A few sur
prises are met, but for the most part
only what was generally guessed.
One of the surprises is that Col. Car
mi A. Thompson is not to be a candi-
date for the republican nomination
for governor. The fact that he has
accepted appointment as second in
comand after Mr.. Butler himself. of
the Coolidge forces, is taken as tam
tamount to definite withdrawal
He could not well look after his own
interests and those Of President
Coolidge at the same time, and n
would be in decidedly bad taste for
him to occupy these two positions.
But Col. Thompson's Withdrawal
leaves the problem Of the leadership
Of the republican state ticket still far
from solution. Two score persons are
more or less actively engaged in pur-
suit of the honor. A new one entered
just this week-George A. Stauffer of
Ottawa, formerly chairman of the re-
publican state committee.
The situation may require some
delicate handling if the organization
is not to run great danger of wreck
on the whisky issue. Attorney Cen
eral G. G. Crabbe, author Of the state
prohibition enforcement law and
leader In the dry element. is known
to be ambitious to run for governor.
