IOWA c. ORPHANS
TO HIT LAF0LLET7E
Davis Candidacy Said Not to
Cause Concern to Repub-
Iican Managers.
Special Dispa tch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 Inc StAr.
DES MONIES. Iowa, August 2.-The
| coming political campaign in Iowa
will be fought between President
Coolidge and Senator La Toilette, Re-
publicans say. All their efforts will
be expended against La Toilette, as
the Davis candidacy is not considered
dangerous to them.
That was one statement coming
from the meeting of the State central
committee here this week.
| Coolidge will carry Iowa, too, as
| well as the national election" Secre-
tary p. r. Baldridge of Dubuque de-
clared.
Plans for organization, financing
and conduct Of the campaign were
announced by b. B. Burnquist OF
Fort Dodge, chairman Of the State
central committee. The committee.
squarely behind the national cam
paign and cooperate in every way.
VIII Open Headquarters
Charles A. Rawson of Des Moines
and Mrs. r. p. Hollowell of Fort
Madison, national committeeman and
| lcommitteewoman, respectively, met
with the State committee.
Headquarters Will be opened IN Des
Moines about August 20. during the
State fair. so that Iowans may visit
Headquarters and State leaders.
A follower of La Toilette, c. G.
Davis of Denison, has announced his
candidacy on the third party ticket
| for governor Davis is hitherto un-
| heard of in Iowa politics. He is a
| building mason.
Davis says he intends to tour the
| State and visit every county with an
| appeal for the common people to as
sert themselves in behalf of their in
| tereStS.
The Democrats held their State
| convention and did very little bus1-
ness except indorse the national plat
form. ]. C. Murtagh of Waterloo,
| Democratic candidate for governor
declared himself against any religious
preference in politics with. the fol-
| lowing statement:
"I believe the church and state
should remain separate, and that nc
| religious test should ever be re-
| quired as a qualification to any Office
| Of public trust in the United States
| I condemn every effort made to arouse
| religious or racial dissension among
| the people Of the State and Nation"
| Mr. Murtagh said he did not intend
| to make the Klan a campaign issue
or carry the matter any further, but
| simply wanted to indorse the ma
| tional Democratic stand on the klar
| issue.
Miss Efie Cherry of Cedar Rapids
| Of vaudeville fame 20 years ago
| SAYS she will take the stump for La
Toilette and Charles w. Bryan OF
| Nebraska. She also said she would
form a La Follette-Bryan club in heI
community.

La Toilette Movement Appears to

SEATTLE, Wash, August RE
ports from all sections OF the State
received by both the Republican and
tho Democratic central committees
would indicate the La Toilette move
ment, which two weeks ago threat
ened to sweep the State has passed
the crest of its rise and, outside of
the counties Of King, Pierce and
Spokane, the large Industrial CEN
ters, the movement is either sta
tionary or on the wane.
The movement has been indorsed
by the Farmer-Labor party, state
Federation of Labor, Socialists and
many of the former members or the
Bull Moose party. At the same time,
those who originally jumped into the
LA Toilette band wagon have been
persons desiring political limelight,
and already there has developed more
or less dissension in the ranks of
those leaders, with more troube e
brewing when a Statewide confer
ence is held here August IL to de-
will be placed in the field. This
movement will antagonize the Farm
er-Labor leaders, who are forced to
file a ticket by August 8.
A movement now Is on foot to hold
La Toilette convention primary
day September 9, recess over until
the next day and then nominate a
State ticket if the nominees on the
Republican,, Farmer-LAbor and DEM
ocratic parties do not win approval.
This plan Is also creating dissension
among those who thought they could
ride into public office on La Toilette
wave.
The farmer groups are not as
strong for La Toilette as they were
and are turning toward Coolidge.
Many leading conservative Democrats
are doing the same. The contes
promises to be a clean-cut issue be-
tween La Toilette and Coolidge, with
the latter the strongest.

PR0GRESSIVES In IDAHO
PLAN FIGHT ON BORAH

BOISE. Idaho, August 2-"Why
should we indorse Senator Borah?
He has never been a progressive and
never will be-, If we support him We
are supporting the very principles We
wanted to get away from when We
deserted the old parties" The fore
going public comment, made by Il
leader of a very substantial wing of
the progressive elements in Idaho,
indicaets that the Progressive party
in Idaho has not yet fully made up
its mind that it will put no candidate
on the ticket to oppose Borah.
This group of Progressiyes Will put
up stiff fight, they admit. before
they will let the McKaig- Samuels
machine in the Idaho Progressive
party Ram Borah down their
throats."
Feeling is running high among the
anti-Borah group of Progressives in
Idaho, and experienced political OBJ
servers feel that the Democratic party
will profit greatly through what now
gives promise Of being a permanent
split in third party ranks.

about as much from the Republican as
from the Democratic ranks. Normally.
labor in this State has been regarded as
Democratic, with the exception of the
industrial workers in the Calumet re-
gion, who always have returned big Re-
publican majorities. This year La Fol-
lette will appeal strongly to the Calu-
met region, it is said, and that will
largely counteract the drains he will
make on Democratic sources in Indian
apolis. Terre Haute. Evansville and
Fort Wayne. .
Approximately 1.25o, 900 votes will be
cast. President Harding received 696, $40
votes in 1920. carrying the State by
1S5,006 over James NJ. Cox. 1nasmuch
as La Toilette is likely to draw from
both parties alike, he is nH expected
to affect the net result as between Davis
and Coolidge.
The La Toilette people will not put a
State ticket in the field, nor will they
file Independent candidates for Congress.
1t Is the policy of, the La Toilette lead
ers here, it seems, to back the Demo-
cratic State ticket and probably Demo
cratic candidates for the Congress-

FLORIDA NOT STIRRED.
Democrats Assured of Getting
Large Majority.
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispa tch to The Star.
e. JACKSONVILLE, Fla, August q
While Florida is not expecting to
be seriously disturbed over the presi-
Dental campaign, 1t is noticed that
the Republican. organization is plan
ming to get out good-sized vote.
The Democrats. assured of a large
majority in November, will hold the
State we'll in hand and remain prac-
tically solid as ever. The Demo.
cratic ticket is regarded as highly
satisfactory by SO per cent of the
party, and the discontented will not
make much of showing. The La
Toilette following Ia the state is es-
timated at above zero, and other fac
tions will get a few votes. In the last
Democratic primary the vote poIled
was above $4,000, by far the largest
polled in the State, and 1T is thought
there will be a good showing made
in November, as there are some
State issues, such as constitutional
amendments, to be settled. The
amendment proposing to prohibit the
leyying of State income and inner
itance taxes has been indorsed by
both major parties.
