UTAH FORCES CONTINUE
SUPPORT FOR McADOo
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. March L.
Utah democrats are strong for Nc
Adoo. The connection of their favor
ties name with Teapot Dome in
vestigations hasn't affected them. At
least the organization Of McAdoo for
President clubs is continuing and the
movement Seems to be getting
stronger. James H. Moyle, who was
assistant secretary of the Treasury
under McAdoo and now is democratic
national committeeman for Utah, re-
turned from the Chicago session a.
few days ago.
The democratic state committee will
meet Monday evening to decide on
the place and time for holding the
state convention. Women of Utah
like McAdoo and many are working
for him.
Republicans are not saying much
about national affairs, confining their
activities to state improvements and
home affairs generally. But repub-
licans are in office in Utah. They
have a good organization and seem
undisturbed. FRANK p. STEWART.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 1.-Sen-
ator Oscar ". Underwood made a
great impression in his native state
here this week. His address before
the general assembly this week, in
which he condemned the administra-
ton for it's lack of foreign policy"
and attacked the protective tariff,
while not forgetting to melton the
Teapot Dome, appeared to solidify the
conservative element in the demo-
cratic party and line it up behind
him. The Courier Journal. for half
q century a conservative party organ,
while not actually coming out for
him." had a very vigorous editorial
ipraising his speech.
The Henderson Cleaner, his home
town paper, in a double-leaded edi-
torial, has launched the candidacy
of Augustus Owsley Stanley. senior
senator from Kentucky. Senator
STANLEY, however, has not been inter-
viewed on the matter.
What his friends believe to be an
indication that he does not intend to
prosecute a vigorous campaign in
kentucky is the declining by James
| NJ. Cox of an invitation to address
the Kentucky general assembly.

GENEVA, March 1.-The league OF
nations special commission for the
settlement of the Memel controversy
today presented the general draft Of
a convention formig the basis of a
settlement Of the question.
The solution reached Is the appii-
cation of the decision Of the confer
ence of ambassadors made in Febru-
airy, 1923. Under this the sovereignty
Of Memel goes to Lithuania, but with
Memel territory retaining full auton-
OMy. All International transporta-
ton rights on the Neimen river and
the port of Memel are safeguarded.
The impression prevails here that the
recommendations Of the commission
are likely to be accepted by all the
powers interested.

While reports have been widely
circulated that United States Senator
Copeland from New York probably
will figure in the plans of the New
York state organization, counter re-
ports soft-pedaling the Copeland talk
have emanated from high democratic

Republican prospects are con-
sidered as having been heighten-
ed by the action of the House on
the tax reduction bill. The re-
turn of the republican insurgents
to the fold after having threat
ened to stray off with Mr.. Gar
ner's tax rates is classed as
good sign of the times and a
happy omen for the future.
The chief DOGGY man Of the reg
uIar republicans is the specter Of
possible insurgent detection next
November. II the radicals and
the progressives do not cut the
ticket at the polls the republican
leaders think that the chances Of
a republican victory are more
than even.
The democrats, 1t is said, in
tend to claim credit for having
forced the republican leadership
in the House to compromise on
the income tax schedules of the
revenue bill and to bring out a
bill more in the line of the reduc-
lions they proposed, while at the
same time insisting before the
country that the republican meas
ure is inadequate.
They will point to the merits Of
the Garner bill as they see them
and charge the republicans with
having framed a reactionary bill.
The material for this contemplated
campaign has been laid by for
future use in the democratic
speeches in the House, which will
be supplemented by a similar line
of attack when the bill comes up
for debate in the Senate.

Democrats are utterly at a loss
to understand the confidence Of
the republicans over the pros
poets of next November. You can
not find democrat but who
thinks that the G. o. P. is on the
toboggan right now. Many of
their most fair-minded men con-
cede that President Coolidge will
"be hard man to beat" as they
phrase 1t. but even these think
that 1t can be done.

The fight for control Of the next
House of Representatives,. 1t is ad-
mitted by all, is going to be very
close. There do not seem to be
any signs of landslide, one way
or the other, but Just hand-to-
hand contest for the seats in all
the crucial states.
1t is regarded as likely that
there will be an increase in tho
representation Of the farmer-la-
Dor party, likewise of progressives
and near radicals in the House.

Brotherhood which is the organization which IS charged with having manipulated the 1literate vote in this division. Will you not in fairness gram with that of the school teachers? Or else, If there is school teacher who will read this article, can you suggest any improvement or bet ter solution of this problem, towit-the elevation of 50 per cent of the population of Alaska and the only really permanent part there?
 The last illiterate plank is ''That 1 shall not leave Alaska weaker than found it, but better and stronger" Good citizens will join with them in whatever is good and right.

Bone Praises Republican Ticket

Bone Praises Republican Ticket''
 This headline was taken from the Juneau Empire of June 18th. Governor Scott c. Bone is quoted further: ''The ticket, in my opinion, is the strongest that could have been nominated
 "It is republican ticket and gives evidence that the party is ready to meet issues and as- sume it's responsibilities unequivocally. The ac~ tion is in full keeping with the courageous courses pursued by President Coolidge which has so inspired the confidence of the country"
 Those who know Scott c. Bone, skillful poll. tcian that he is, know that the above words of praise would have been spoken by him concern- ing any one nominated by the Republican con- vention.
 Here in Alaska, the same eminent Republican Governor is going about whispering that "Thls year you must vote the Democratic ticket" lie thus reveals himself as a true Carpet Bagger
 When he loses his job Governor, he will pack his suitcase and depart forever, but not be- fore the Juneau Empire has published this state ment: Governor Scott C. Bone, one of the best governors Alaska has ever had, is leaving for much needed rest, after which he will return to make his beloved Alaska his hOme."

in all their movements by that eminent educa- tor, Lester D. Henderson, without whom these been success" asked Congress to please relieve them from paying any income tax.
 Third These nOn-voters and taX-evasiOn-s seek CTS passed a resolution asking this Territory to pass literacy test for voters bill. Theydecried the dangers that might come to this Territory If illiterateS were allowed to vote.
 Here is my criticism: A convention of school teachers might be a good thing, altho there is yet no evidence of 1t; but teachers might very well stick to the business of their convention and refuse to allow MT. Henderson to convert it into aid for holding his $4 1000 job. MT. Hender- son is in politics up to his ears, and the sole purpose of defeating bill to make his office elective, is to insure his job in order that ''he might continue to serve his masters.'
 Secondly: School teachers do not put them selves in a very good light patriotic citizens fit to resolute how this Territory should be run when they themselves pass resolutions seek ing to make of themselves tax exempt tourists with a stop-over ticket in Alaska for the winter
 Third Their resolution on the Literacy Test for Voters Bill is illogical. Sound political poi- cy would first have passed a resolution demand ing that the Territory assume it's full responsl~ bility and educate all it's children at least thru the grades. The sin and the shame of the de- mand for a literacy test is this: that there are thousands of Indian children who cannot go to school if they would; that our highly intellectual Commissioner of Education has never interested himself in correcting this wrong; that our egis- lature has never concerned itself in stopping this crime against it's citizens; and that "The gentle man from New York;" who governs Alaska, has done nothing to change this ev
 By way of contrast, let me state g few facts.
 First: All Indians, literate and otherwise, have been proud and glad to pay all taxes to which they are subject. For many years, com- munities like Yakutat, Hoonah, Stka Rake, and ether places have been paying the Territorial school tax even tho their children have been systematically excluded from the very school supported in part by their tax. And yet, no school teacher has ever heard these illiterates asking the Legislature or Congress to exempt them from paying tax"
 Secondly: Even the school teachers must ad- init that the great political issue of today is the Fisheries Question. On this subject, the teach ers' convention was silent. This was right. But suppose the illiterate Indian did not speak on this question: and the solution of the Fisheries Question were left entirely to these iterate ho

Where Frank A. Boyle Is Strong
 Reveals His Bosses


 The best argument agalnst the election of Frank A. Boyle, John w. Troy's candidate for Delegate to Congress- is contained in the follow ing news item printed in the Organ of the Demo- Republican paper of Juneau:
 Copper River is strong for Frank A. Boyle.' Telegraph advices received from Frank A. Boyle Democratic nominee for Delegate to Con- gress, who is at Kennecott, declares that condi- tions in the Copper River Valley and Cordova are all right, and he is confident that he will ny that section of the Territory"
 Of course, why should he not carry that sec ton? That is the section that is entirely owned, controlled and dominated by the Guggenheims. In that section of the Territory the citizens have to vote as the big Kennecott boss dictates There is no such thing as mass voting' in that sec- ton of the Territory because the masses there are voting with the big boss. But just the same, MT. Boyle will get all the votes there be- cause and only because, the big boss has issued orders that the masses must vote for MT. Boyle.
