Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, May 1o.-No man
in Virginia has had as many offices
chosen for him in a brief time as
Senator Harry F. Byrd Of Winchester.
For the last six months he has been
heralded as the candidate Of the
machine" for governor, and he has
been announced as the candidate for
Congress to succeed Representative
Thomas W. Harrison, and the latest
is that he is to be offered the posi-
tion Of United States senator in case
Senator Glass is nominated for Presi-
dent of the United States or made
a member of the cabinet in event q
Democrat is elected President
The only thing wrong with this is
that Senator Byrd has not indicated
what he intends to do, notwithstand-
ing the many men who are straining g
their ears to get the first sounds of
his purpose to offer for any or all of
the places mentioned.
Glass May BE Chairman.
Reports are rife that when the state
Democratic convention gets under
way at Norfolk there will be many
be on hand to do keynote stunts for
themselves and their plans. The
chances are that the convention will
be made available for declarations on
the part Of candidates and tentative
cndidates for various Offices No sug-
gestion has been made as yet for
q temporary chairman, and that has
not been considered and will not be
until the night before the convention
meets, when, the state committe will
hold a conference and name the man
who will call the convention to or
der.
There are many who want to have
Senator Glass call the convention to
ordsr and to make the speech outlin-
ing the policy Of the Democrats Of
the Old Dominion. Senator Glass is
known as one of the ablest speakers
in the state, and he is one man who
has hold on the people that is firm,
and they will rally to him to man
and they will also instruct the vir-
ginia delegation for him; whether he
makes a speech o., not In every part
of the state the county delegations
are being instructed to vote to have

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 1o.-The
overwhelming victory of the Ku Klux
klan in making Ed Jackson, secre-
tary OF state, the Republican nominee Q
for governor in Tuesdays primary
automatically places the state in the
doubtful column as far as national
politics is concerned. in the opinion
Of most observers.
1t will mean, first, that President
Coolidge will have to team with
Jackson or else set out on an inde-
pendent course in an effort to carry
Indiana. Jackson won his nomina-
ton despite the efforts of the old
Republican wheel horses, and it is
not likely they will be found in his
camp next fall Indications are the
Republican campaign will be in
charge of men more or less new to
to power and af1uence through the
Invisible Empire.
Jackson's victory confronts the Re-
publican leaders with a real problem.
They must elect to subordinate their
scruples and come into the Jackson
can get, or they can remain outside
and permit things to take their
course. Although the results OF the
primary have not been completely
analyzed, it is probable Jackson,
through his sweep, will be able to
control the Republican state organi-
zation and the state convention,
which drafts the party platform and
nominates the remainder OF the state
ticket

of the supreme court, is said to be
slated for Walb's place. Reports are

BOTH PARTIES AT PEACE.
Mississippi Rows Ironed Out.
Democrats Set Meeting.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
JACKSON, Miss, May 1o.-Notes of
harmony are evident in both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties OF
Mississippi almost upon the eve OF
the two national conventions. The
Democratic executive committee, de-
spite the differences over Senator
Oscar Underwood Of Alabama for
President, held a harmonious meet
ing and selected Friday, May 80, as
tho date for the state convention to
be held in Jackson.
Although Judge Robert n. Powell,
chairman of the executive commit
tee. is state manager for Senator Un-
derwood and is waging a campaign
for an instructed delegation, no evil
dence Of q possible tilt was seen in
the committee meeting. Since Judge
Powell and United States Senator Pat
Harrison have been engaged in q
newspaper controversy over the pos
sibflity Of the latter influencing the
state convention, the quiet commit
tee meeting is interpreted as mean
ing that q compromise Is in sight and
that an uninstructed delegation will
be sent to New York only after reso-
lutions complimenting Underwood
have been adopted.

as the state has only fourteen votes

have seven -tenths of a vote. 1t had
been planned to send eighteen dele

women for equal representation with

increase of two.
