KLAN REPORT DISTURBS
LOUISIANA DEMOCRATS
Republicans Claim Some Strength
and Both Parties Seek
Full Vote.
Special pissatch to The Star.

NEW ORLEANS. La, November i.
Louisiana will vote on presidential
electors, one United States Senator
eight Representatives. members of the
Supreme Court, judicial officers and
13 constitutional amendments. next
Tuesday. The State election for gov
ernor and State officers came in April
of this year.
Louisiana will go for Davis and
Bryan. The majority is a question.
Republicans have no candidates for
the Senate or House.
Republican leaders declared today
that they expect to poll new rec
ord vote in Louisiana next Tuesday.
Democrats deny these claims. They
believe. Louisiana will remain in the
Democratic column by easily $4,000
majority, perhaps more.
Four years ago President Harding
surprised Democratic leaders when he
polled $500 votes in Louisiana, of
which total $4,000 were cast in the
City of New Orleans.
Dsquieting reports have been
reaching Democratic leaders for 10
days that the Ku Klux klan, which is

Hoch and Strong. overwhelming ma
jorities. Miss Nellie Cline, Demo
cratic nominee against Tincher in the
seventh, is making a strong race
and maybe a close race.
The Coolidge vote in Kansas seems
only a question of pluralities. Un-
less all the signs fail ne will come
close to getting a majority. A de-
cided swing toward La Toilette the
last two weeks may send Bob into
the final count ahead of John w.
Davis but neither La Toilette nor
Davis will touch Coolidge.
Interest centers in the governor
ship race, due to the late entrance
of William Allen White, well known
editor author as an Independent
anti-Klan candidate. His entrance
muddled the situation up consider
ably, and he has made a vigorous
and popular, but one-man campaign.
Conservative estimates are that Ben
S. Paulen. the Republican candidate
drawing the regular party vote and
a large klan vote from the Demo-
Gratis, will win by a safe majority.
Gov. Jonathan NJ. Davis is the Demo-
crat candidate seeking reelection.
His strength two years ago was a
surprise. If he has it again this
year it will be a bigger surprise.

BRINGS DRESS IDEAS
FROM CREATIVE SHOPS
OF FASHION CENTERS
Madame Anto;nette will
Deliver Lectures at
Wolff & Marx.

"Dress with your mind and not
your pocketbook.
This is the advice, tersely put, of
Madame Antoinette, internationally
known lecturer and authority OH

I Saturday morning fresh from the
creative shops OF the Partisan mol
istes, Italy's best fashioners of fem
mime apparel, the style marts of vi
emma and the fashion centers of the
United States, bearing the latest de-
crees of Dame Fashion for Milady.
Madame Antoinette was fairly
bubbling over with the latest messages
from the ultra-fashionable dress CEN
tiers which she will deliver to the
women of San Antonio. beginning next
Thursday, in the auditorium of the
Wolff Il Marx Company.
Youth in dress. youth in mind and
youth in everything is taking the
country by Storm" Madame was vigor-
Gus in asserting. Then rapidly re-
viewing the trend of the fashions,
she declared that dresses would be

spite of the fact that the showing of
the legs will be quite the mode.
"The youthful theme will be carried
out in boyish silhouettes leading to
straight lines. regardless of age" Ma
dame decrced, and declared that
shingled hair coiffures are being worn
by matrons regardless of lines.
| Madame became imperative. "Wear
death knell of corsetless figures has
been sounded.
"Men," she declared, "are our best
judges of dress and they are tired
Of looking at half nude bodies, much

forms. They are well balanced in
their opinions and judgments and
these should be respected. A mans

CORPUS CHRISTI TO
BE CONSIDERED AS
GUARD CAMP SITE
National Guard Officers
Look Over Prospective
Locations.

Corpus Christi, Tex, March 15.-
Inspection of Corpus Christi as a pos
sible camp site for the Thirty sixth
Division National Guard encampment
was made Saturday by a party OF
army officers headed by Gen. John A.
Hulen, commander of the Thirty-sixth
Division. Others in the party will
be Adj. Gen. Thomas ID. Barton of
tho Texas National Guard. Colonel
Wolf and General Birkhead of San
Antonio and Colonel donaldson, corps
area constructive engineer.
Three cities are being considered
as site for the camp, which will
correspond to Camp Mabry of Aus
tin. The cities under consideration,
according to information received
here, are Corpus Christi, Palacios and
Brownsville. The inspecting party ar
rived here Saturday morning and
sptEt the day in going over the
ground with view of obtaining first
hand information as to the advan-
tages of placing the camp here.
The city, county and the chamber
of commerce participated in the en-
tertainment of the party. A recep-
ton committee met the party on its
arrival here and conducted the off
GERS to various points. 1t is thought
that the site that will be given se-
rious consideration will be the site Of
the old Camp Scurry, a short dis
lance south of the city and which
was used during the war. The camp
here established an enviable record
in that no deaths resulted from con-
tneious diseases during the period Of
the camp.

Another pleasant event Of the week
was the farewell party given for w.

OF his friends. The rtfair was sur
prise to Mr.. Marcy, having been
planned hurricdly as an informal
party prior to his leaving. After the

cupied the party until it was time to

day evening.
For many tourists the hike on Sat
urday morning was a novelty, as doz-
ems of the visitors had never seen
Texas bluebonnets in bloom on the
prairies. A party of about 30 peO-
pie liked from the Tourist House on
st. Mary's street, to Bluebonnet
Hills, on Alamo Heights, just to see
the hillsides that are covered with the
flowers from whence the hills have
taken their name. Bouquets of the
flowers were brought back, to be pre-
served by many as a novelty to tell
the folAs back home about.
Woman Drives From Washington.
An interesting newcomer to San
Antonio this week is Mrs. c. Il. Wal
lace, from Seattle, Wash. who drove
her car from Seattle to San Antonio
with no one but her small daughter
along on the trip. Mrs. Wallace
spent every night in tourist camps
along the road. and she made the en-
tire trip without an accident. Not
even a puncturcd tire married the
pleasure of her novel experience.
Before coming TO San Antonio, Mrs.
Wallace stated that she was told
startling tales about bandits and bad
Mexicans in San Antonio, until she
decided that she must learn to shoot
n gun before coming to this wild
country. She learned to operate n
six-shooter, and carried it with her
on tine trip. On reaching Texas, she
discarded it and forgot that she even
had it in the car. Mrs. Wallace will
remain in this city until school closes,
as she has placed her daughter in a
San Antonio school.
Three musical programs were open
ed to the tourists on Saturday, invita-.
tions having been extended by tie
Woman's Club. the Army Musical
Club and the Hertzberg Musical Club
to the visitors to attend the recitals
that were given as farewell numbers
ON the program of Music Week.

TO LAKE THIS WEEK
Gather Famous Texas Blue
bonnets on Hills Near
San Antonio.

Filled with episodes that will live
in the memory of many winter visitors
as treasured little chapters in the
book of real life, the week just past
has been usually interesting for 1.-THE
bunch" at the Tourist House. There
was an old-fashioned dance that re-
vived the steps and gaiety of men,
ory-dances that took place when
many of the silver-haired couples
from far-away places were young !:
there was a surprise party that proved
how strong the ties are that have been
made by visitors during their winter
stay in San Antonio. And there was
a hike to Bluebonnet Hills on Satur-
day morning that brought to some the
pleasure of gathering their first blue
bonnets on Texas soil in the spring
time.
For this week, trip to Medina
Lake is being planned, scheduled for
Wednesday if the weather is good,
and a picnic in Breckenridge Park,
to be given by Mrs. H. c. Burkhalter.

first sunny day. Mrs. Burkhalter
plans to make the picnic an all-day
outing, with everyone carrying along
basket of good things to eat, SO
that a MONDAY spread can be en-
joyed outdoors.
Old.Fasliion Dance Enjoyed.
One of the greatest successes of
the entire year was the dance given
by the tourists OH Wednesday eve
ming, March IL. In order to provi lie
the informal spirit that makes pleas
ure for everyone a guaranteed thing.
it was decided that the event should
be as old-fashioned as possible. An
old-time fiddler with "Annie Rooney"
and 1.-TWO Little Girls in Blue" still
in his repertoire was engaged, and d
banjo player with the old-time rythym
was provided, and "caller" OF
square dances was put on the job
with instructions to keep the dancers
busy with his orders of "shift part

iniscent of dances that were before

in. Consequently, with the impetus
