POLITICS
tcontinued rom Page one


Hitchcock was brought openly INTO
the democratic presidential picture by
the placing in the Nebraska primaries
a slate Of delegates pledged to him.
AS q senator, he led the LEAGUE OF
nations fight for Woodrow Wilson.
Huston Thompson, formerly a MEM
Der of the federal tlllde commission,
was entered against Smith OF Now
York in the North Dakota democratic
presidential primaries, but his petition
was found to be defective and it was
ruled out.
The move to swing to Senator Walsh
the California delegation to the Hous-
ton convention left no doubt that It
was directed against Smith. It was
announced that Walsh would be given
the support of certain dry leaders,
among them McAdoo, who had the
support of the California deleg! ties at
the memorable Madison Square Gar
den convention four years ago, and
who plans to run as a delegate pledged
to the Montana senator.
McAdoo, lat his law offices here to-
day, refrained from extensive COM
ment on the situation. In a three
sentence statement he confirmed the
reports that he was in the fight as an
aide to Walsh in his home st?te OF
California, and expressed confidence
that the Monii nan would have the
delegation from that state.
Walsh disclosed that moves were be-
ing made to enter him in the Wiscon-
sin and South Dakota primaries as
well as in California He emphasized
ths.t he had assented to the plans OF
friends and had not inspired a cam
paign in his own behalf.
his decision to go into California
was disclosed as his senatorial col
league. Reed of Missouri, was in the
state camp .igning. Reed has been en-
tered in the primaries both there and
in wisconsin, and there is every IN
dication that Smith also will be an en-
try in both states
Like Governor Smith, the Missouri
senator is looked on with disfavor by
militant drys, although he has em-
phaSizeG in his swing to the c9 st that
there are bigger issues in this cIm-
paign than that Of prohibition.
Determined, if possible, to have both
political parties adopt dry plans and

lenders representing more than 80 ma
tional temperance organizations, at
meeting here several days ago called
for such a stand on the prohi0fe-o1
question.
In addition, number of democratic
drys from southeastern sN.tes will
meet tomorrow in st. Petersburg, Fla.
to size up the situation and work Out
ulans for opposing any wet in the
Houston convention. If anyone, re-
garded as unfriendly to the dry cause
IS nominated, there have been indi-
cations that the adviSabilfty of boiling
the party might be considered.
On top of the plans of Mayor Thomp-
son, of Chicago, to have Cook coun-
tvs representatives at the Kansas City
convention work for the nomination OF
President Coolidge, Charles D. Hilles
of New York, wheel horse in the re-
publican party, has come out again

for another term for Coolidge. Hilles,
who is vice chairman of the republican
national committee and will be one
Of the New York delegates at large to
the convention, predicted the president
would receive votes from the first, and
said he believed he should be prevailed
upon to accept the nomination.
Apparently convinced that the presl-
dent has definitely removed himself
from the field, other republican presi-
dental aspirants went ahead with
their campaign despite the Hilles and
Thompson declaration seer It ry
Hoover decided to go into the primar-
les in California, filed in Michigan,
where he has a clear field for the
republican endorsement, and decided
also to enter the oregon and New Jer-
cey primaries. He already had filed IN
Maryland and Ohio, but refused to go
into Wisconsin, where the LaFollette
faction is working for Norris of Neb-
NSska,
One Of the worries of the Hoover
camp is the lack of campaign man
ager. 1t is conceded that one is need
ed, and it is likely that a selection Will
be announced before many days. Sec
retary Work has had ; large hand IN
the shaping up of Hoover's campaign,
but his cabinet duties are expected
to keep him from becoming campaign
manager, even fl his designation were
deemed advisable.
,LoWden has been resting at his Ari-
lonh ranch During the week he pick
ed up two more delegates the
ninth Missouri district--arld he per-
sonally sanctioned entry of his name IN
the North Dakota primaries.
Curtis also annexed pair OF dele
gates-both from the seventh Kansas
district.
Watson, who thus far has made a
bid fer support only in his home
state of Indiana, has been in con-
ference here with his managers as
to the advisability OF entering some
other states, among them Vest Vir-
ginia. He goes to Indianapolis next
week to address republican editors
of the state, and it is probable that
he will have few things to say
about politics.
On the democratic side of the dele
gate ledger, Smith during the week
landed the eight delegates from
Idaho, whose delegation stuck to
McAdoo for SO ballots in 1924 and
received endorsement Of the Con-
necticut democratic organization. In
addition to being entered in North
Dakota, his name has been placed
in the Michigan democratic primary
! Reed, who eight years ago was re-
buffed by democrats of his home state
because OF his opposition to Wilson,
on the league OF nations, will have
the solid support of Missour1's dele,
