MADISON. Wis April 14.--With
control by the Progressives Of the Wis
conSin delegation to the Republican
national convention certainty, the
ProgreSsives are now making plans tc
unseat George Wits, Republican national
committeeman from Wisconsin.
When the Wisconsin delegation ar
rives at Kansas City, the Progressives
win recommend to the national conven-
ton that Herman L. Ekern, former
attorney general and chairman of the
Progressive delegate campaign, be
named to supplant Mr.. Wits This
recommendation is certain to be made.
since IT of the delegates elected are
progressives and only nine are con-
servativcs.
Would Replace Woman.
Recommendation will also be made
by the progressives that Mrs. Harry E.
Thomas be replaced as national COM
mitteewoman from Wisconsin. Both
Mr.. Wits and Mrs. Thomas belong to
the conservative group and both were
active supporters of the conservative
delegate candidates.
1t is certain that the nine conserva-
tive delegates make an effort to prevent
the unseating of Mr.. Wits. and plans
are being made for the presentation of
proposals to the leaders at the Republi-
can national convention to make pos
sible the retention of Mr.. Wits as ma
tional committeeman.
The conservatives may decide to sub
NIT minority report to the convention
favoring Mr.. Wits retention and then
let the convention choose between that
report and the majority report recon-
mending Mr. Ekern.
Fill Two Vacancies.
Mr.. Wits and Mrs. Thomas we're Sc
Iected as members of the Republican
national committee by the State central
committee to fill the two Wisconsin
vacancies on the committee until the
time of the convention in June. Be-
cause they control the Wisconsin dele
CATION, the progressives will name the
Wisconsin member Of the committee on
resolution at the Republican convention,
and this will give the progressive group
an opportunity to submit minority
platform to the convention favoring
Senator Norris of Nebraska for Presi-
dent and favoring the planks advocated
by the progressives during the delegate
campaign. WILLIAM j. EVJUE.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April IA
LoWden Republicans in Alabama are
elated over the Illinois election results
They see in the defeat Of Big Bill
Thompson a chance for the former
governor Of that State 10 go into the
Kansas City convention with a strong
backing and predict his nomination.
Another cause for jubilation in the
ranks of the anti-administration forces
vas the news from Washington that
Secretary Hoover had bowed to the
negro. as one newspaper headline stat
ed, in abolishing the segregation order
in the Census Bureau They see in
this act the death knell to HooveTs
chances of developing as a party Lead
er who can break into the solid South.
They realize that if the Republican
party is to capture electoral votes from
Southern States. the party must put
forward a candidate who will not
''pander" to the negro. Administration
forces are not weakening on Hoover,
but confidently predict his nomination
and election over Gov. Smith, who.
they concede, will be the Democratic
nominee.
Fight Over Street.
The fight within the ranks OF the
Republican party in Alabama, so far
as an outsider can determine, IS chiefly
on Chairman Oliver D. Street. That
Mr. Street still retains his favored po-
sition with the powers that De Ta5
demonstrated recently in the reap
pointment of Roy A. Tifsey as postnnss-
ter at Montgomery. despite opposition
from the LoWden forces.
In the Democratic ranks, the chief
development Is the friction within the
Prohi-Klan forces. A harmony meeting
held by the Anti-Saloon League in BiT-
mingham the past week was not as hsr-
monious as had been hoped. The effort
TO eliminate all dry candidates for dele
gates to the Democratic national con-
vention from the State at large, except
the hand-picked four. proved fruitless.
Bowie withdraws.
While Sidney j. Bowie. through MS
friend. Fred NJ. jackson. has announced
his intention of Withdrawing from the
race. his name has already been printed
on the official ballot Mr.. Jackson Is a
prominent leader in the Anti-Saloou
League. The withdrawal Of Mr. Bowie
leaves a vacancy in the list Of four
horSemen picked to beat Smith. Just
which of the remaining sspirants vill
receive the favor Of the Prohi-KIan
hand picker is uncertain.
The Alabama friends Of Smith are
sitting back and watching the row with
interest. None of the candidates for
delegate from the State at large and
only one or two from congressional dis
tricts are avowed Smith adherents. No
name will appear on the ticket as
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton The primary takes place May 8.

SPOKANE. Wash, April 14.-wash-
ington State Democrats have gone over
the top for Gov. Al Smith, the first of
the Pacific Coast States to so elect and
instruct their national delegations. This
action was taken here last night when
the State Democratic convention com
pleted its work.
OF the II votes IL are strong Smith
followers. One. a delegate from the
southwestern part of the State. or the
third congressional district, is anti
Smith. but the convention as one Of
the last acts placed the delegation
under the unit rule, by a vote of 361
to 1877. which is fairly representative
OF the political alignment of the State
delegates. Senator Dill is on the dele
cation and is listed as anti-Smith.

Eight delegates from at large with
one-half vote each were selected in

The Democrats held the largest con-

ever convened. 1t was an enthusiastic
Smith gathering, and the programmed
Smith slate went over without a hitch
after the caucuSes had smoothed out
all troubles.
While the Democrats we're holding
forth, the Hoover supporters OF Spokane
