SIOUX FALLS, s. OAK. April ia
Confident that Herbert Hoover VIII be
the Republican nominee for President.
many South Dakota Republicans who
are supporters Of the Secretary say they
made tactical mistake In not having
taken steps TO have Mr.. Hoover's name
placed on the ballots for the State wide
primary election, 10 be held in South
Dakota May D. Through this default,
Frank o L0wden lis the only Presiden-
tiai candidate before the Republican
voters, and therefore will have the
States delegation 10 the national con-
yention.
T. A. Jones. State auditor OF South
Dakota. Is authority for the statement
that after tour Of Is counties in the
most popuious portion Of South Dakota
he found a positive Hoover sentiment.
He further states that failure 10 take
steps 10 have Mr. Hoover's name on the
primary ballot has caused the rank and
file Of the Republicans Of South Dakota
70 +feei that opportunity is denied them
Of expressing their presidential choice. "
In indorsing Mr.. Lowden at the Re
publican State convention, the dele
gates deferred 10 the wishes Of Peter
Norbeck, United States Senator from
South Dakota. who four years ago was
a supporter Of Senator Hiram johnson
for the presidential nomination.
However, Hoover Republicans OF coutf
Dakota say they will be satisfied II thf

BOSTON. April Representative
Treadway of the first Massachusetts,
district. who up to the present time has
held off announcing his choice for the
Republican nomination for President in
the hope that President Coolidge might
yield 10 the pressure being brought 70
bear to have him accept a renomina-
ton. has come out formally in the past
week for Herbert Hoover. He ignores
the favorite son movement on behalf OF
Gov. Fuller, either for President or
Vice President. and states that ne
favors the nomination of Representa-
tive Tilson of Connecticut, majority
leader in the House, Tor Vice President
on the ticket with Hoover.
Mr.. Treadway is the dean Of the
Massachusetts, delegation IN the House
and when his present term expires
March T. 1929. will have completed l6
years in Congress. His announcement
was the most important political de-
velopment of the week in the Bay
State and was hailed with satisfaction
by the Hoover forces.
Declares for Hoover.
In his statement, after discussing
the situation with reference to PreSl-
dent Coolidge. he said:
setts citizens and the country at large
in the belief that next to Mr.. Coolidge.
Herbert Hoover has the most general
qualifications .and experience necessary
for the high Office. A ticket Of Hoover
and TilSon would offer elements of
strength which ! think no other coal
bination could present to the American
people at this time"
Most Of the Massachusetts, con-
greSsional delegation returned to the
State to attend, Thursday. the funeral
of Representative Gallivan of South
Boston. one of the most popular Demo-
Gratis ever sent to Washington from
Massachusetts,. The trip gave them an
opportunity TO Judge for themselves the
political situation at home. and there
was a unaninity of feeling that
Hoover and Smith will gain the pref
erence vote of their respective parties
at the primaries April "a.
Walsh Is Absent.
The absence of Senator Walsh caused
considerable comment. especially as he
is to run for reelection this year. Large
numbers of voters in his own party are
prepared TO turn on him unless he can
give satisfactory explanation OF his
absence. Senator Waisn is certain TO
be given a hard battle by the Republic
ans. who are Still chating over his de-
feat of Senator Butler, two years ago.
They believe they have a chance 10 de-
feat him in a presidential year and
every move he now makes Is OF the
utmost importance 10 him.

Special Dispatch 20 The Star.
OMAHA, Nebr, April Senator
Norris has been campaigning Nebraska
the past week in the interest OF Sen
ator Howell's denomination. Due 10
the turn his speeches have taken. the
tide of the Republican presidential del
egate contest is likely TO turn on the
way the voters decide the senatorial
race Tuesday.
Senator Norris has made the issue
between Senator Howell and Atty. Gen.
o. S Spillman a question of good
RepublicaniSn1" and. strangely enough.
the major portion of his attention has
been directed upon Nelson B. Updike,
grain dealer and owner of the Omaha
Bee News. which is supporting Spill
man. Senator Norris has charged that
this opposition arises because the two
Senators recommended reappointment
of District Attorney J. c. Kinsler Of
Nebraska. who is prosecuting half a
million dollars in income tax claims
left from the war against Updike In
the courts.
AS the voters decide on Senator'S they
are likely to decide the race between
regular Republicans, supporting Spill
man, and progreSSives supporting Nor
Z
Dawes. Norris name alone is filed
in the presidential preference primary.
though a belated effort has been made
to write in Hoover's name.
Followers Of Gov. Smith on the DEM
ocratic side are likely 10 be against
former Senator Gilbert n. Hitchcock,
who has the State delegation prac-
ticalIy without opposition. The for
mer Senator has made a fight for a
delegation TO remain with him until he
releases it, His friends proceed on
the theory that the national conven-
ton must select a candidate pleasing
to the West and South II the party
is 70 win. Latest information Is that
the fight made by william Ritchie,
IT,. against Arthur r. Mullen for DEM
ocratic national committeeman, is
losing its force, though Ritchie has
made an intensive campaign covering
the entire State.
Presence of Senator Reed OF Mis-
sour here this week brought together
various elements of the party that,
though afiliated, have not made a
public showing of their friendship.
Former Gov Bryan evinced his open
friendship for Mr.. Hitchcock and Ma
tionaI Committeeman Mullen.
