BITTER STATE FIGHT
Leaders Fail to 1ndorse State
Ticket in Face of Political
Suicide" Threat.
SPECIAL Dispatch to The Star.

SPECIAL Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. May 24.-The
Republican Organization of Ohio
avoided the political suicide" which
Senator Willis declared confronted 1t
in It's pre-primary convention here
this week, by refusing to indorse a
state ticket, but the peril that the
organization leaders sought to avoid
when they called this convention is
still to be faced.
With an admittedly hard man to
defeat, certain to be nominated by
the Democrats, Gov. Vic Donahey, Re-
publican leaders realize should a
weak man get their nomination for
governor they would be beaten before
the start.
Unable to induce the entire field to
agree to withdraw in favor of Rep
resentative T. E. Burton. Representa-
tive James T. Begg off Sandusky was
brought out last week, with the idea
that 1t might be possible to have him
indorsed in this state convention
without offending any of the other
members Of the field. But in the pres
entation of their views on the matter
to the convention. Mr.. Begg was the
only one who approved the indorse-
ment proposition.
Committee Divided.
The committee on rules and order
of business divided equally on the in
dorsement proposition-11 to IL. and
when their disagreement report was
made to the convention 1t broke into
a pandemonium. With the indorse-
ment plan now, was linked a PROPOSE
ton to resort to a pre-primary con-
vention every year for Endorsement
in advance Of the primary election
and another to take the initiative in
amending the constitution SO as to
abolish the primary system and re-
turn wholly to the old convention
plan.
The convention voted for pre-
primary convention in 1925 and each
alternate year thereafter, and to urge
ton law so as to damit Of more thor
ough party control and responsibility.
But it would have no SLATE" making
this year.
Neither Senator Willis nor Senator
Fess, nor any of the speakers at the
convention made any reference to the
bonus, the pension or the taxation
bills in Congress. or the vetoes by the
President and the overriding Of them
by Congress. Many of the delegates.
however, censured the senators for
not supporting the President, and re-
ported widespread sentiment hostile
to the senators and Republican repre-
sentatives who did not sustain the Pres
ident.
Mention of President Coolidge's
name in the convention was greeted
with enthusiastic applause. which in
dicated that he has lost none of his
prestige in Ohio by his attitude
toward the pension and bonus bills.

POLITICAL RACE DULL.
North Carolina Leaders Have
Nothing to Do.

RALEIGH, n. c., May 24.-Demo-
cratic politics in North Carolina has
become as dull and stale as Republi-
can politics in the nation. With
twenty-four votes safely pledged to
McAdoo, the voters are not bothering
enthusiastic for McAdoo, but they
see nobody in sight to beat him with.
They would like to see Josephus
Daniels nominated, but see little pros
pect of getting enough votes to do it.
The gubernatorial race between
Anugs w. Mclean and Josiah w.
Bailey is the dullest and tamest con-
test that has been staged in this

A BOUT all there Is left now
~ Of the pre-convention cam
"A paign is the question as to
how many votes McAdoo
will have at New York. He con-
tinues to gather them In. much to
the surprise OF some of his oppo-
nents, but it is conceded that he
will not have the necessary two
thirds on the early balloting. So
the expectation Of a deadlocked
convention now Is assured, and 1t
becomes a subject for speculation
as to what will happen when the
break comes.
As state after state lines up for
McAdoo there Is noticeably less
confidence in the claim OF the anti
McAdoo combination that third
Of the delegates can be held to the
very end against him. II the con-
vention at New York Is to be
judged by the history of past con-
ventions, after the first few bal
lots delegates will begin to mani
fest desire to get aboard the
bandwagon. and the band aboard
the McAdoo wagon will be playing
most enticing airs. 1t may not
fall out that way-it didn't at Bal
timore twelve years ago-but a
betting man today would be tusti-
fed In taking McAdoo against the
field.
OF course, should the balloting
be prolonged. the break might be
the other way. Undoubtedly there
are good many delegates in
structed for or pledged to McAdoo
who would prefer some other man
as the party's standard bearer. and
IL the anti-McAdoo floor managers
are able to hold their lines intact
and start q rally around some pop
ular figure, there might be repeat
ed the story of Baltimore. when
Champ Clark saw his majority
vote slowly disintegrate.
Dispatches TO The Star from its
special political correspondents at
the week end disclose no devei-
opment In the Democratic situa-
tion Of special significance. The
formal Endorsement in Maryland OF
Gov. Ritchie for the presidential
nomination Is not TO be taken seri-
ously at this stage Of the contest.
There may come Il time In the con-
vention when Gov. Ritchie will be
given serious consideration, but
the same may be as truthfully said
of any other prominent Democrat.
The action Of the Maryland De-
mocracy is accepted for exactly
what II was intended to be-a
compliment to the able and popu-
lar governor.
Aside from McAdoo, Gov. Smith
of New York seems to be about
the only candidate in whose behalf
there Is any considerable activity.
He gets favorable mention from
widely scattered states and seems
certain to be the runner-up in the
early balloting. 1t probably will

ing lone hand for themselves or
special factions and political ele-
ments. the meantime trying to tar
onto President Coolidge's prestige
with the voters for their own sal
walton at the polls.
1t is held that there is substan-
tiation Of the belief that the peo-
pie are backing the President in
the overwhelming victories he has
won in every state but South Da-
kota in primary contests.
The Issue of greatest moment in
national politics is the question as
to what course the President will
follow in dealing with the tax-re-
duction bill. Will he veto it, sign
1t or allow it to become a law au-
tomatically?
Politicians of national promi-
nence say that his action will
largely shape the campaign for
election after he has been nomi-
mated and the fortunes of the Re
publican party in November. Their
best judgment Is that should hs
veto 1t the Democrats would use It
to their own vast advantage and
to the detriment of the interests of
the Republicans.
Recognizing that if President
Coolidge is convinced that IL the
bill as passed by Congress will
work actual harm to the business
interests Of the country some leaders
believe he Is likely to veto 1t, depend
ing upon the effort to convince the
country that the bill is a menace to
general prosperity.
But some of them are asking
will it be possible to elucidate to
the lay mind the technical and in
tr1cate problems essayed in such
an explanation, whether they can
be grasped to sufficiently out
weigh the disappointment at hav-
ing no reductions?

In the presidential nomination
field the contest is warming up
daily between William G. McAdoo
and Gov. Alfred E. Smith, with
the element OF the democracy op-
posed to the nomination of either
one showing activity on the side
lines. No one in responsible
Democratic leadership, outside of
the hackers Of the candidates
themselves, believe that either of
these two can get the two-thirds
that they will stop each other. It
is regarded as highly improbable,
II not impossible, that either one
could throw his strength to the
other, so as to ''fII his hand"
