WALL STREETS
SPOKESMAN IS
AIDING WILLIS
Eastern Financial Interests
Enter Ohio Race Against
Hoover.
BY RAY TUCKER
Scripps Howard staff Correspondent


CINCINNATI, Feb 23.-EaStern
political and financial interests
favorable to the nomination of
President Coolidge have entered the
Ohio primary fight on the side of
Senator Willis and against Secre-
tary Hoover.
Charles D. Hilles, New York ma
tional committeeman and leader of
the draft Coolidge bloc" has asked
several influential Cincinnati Re-
publicanS to vote for Mrs. Wilma
Sinclair Levan, Willis only woman
candidate for delegate-at-large. She
is national committeewoman now,
and Hilles said his interest in her
primary victory was a desire that
she be continued in that Office.
Wall Street Spokesman
Hilles is looked upon as Wall
Streets spokesman in party coun-
ellis. 1t is understood he has sent the
same letter to other Republican
leaders in Ohio.
Several circumstances surround
ing Hilles' intervention in the
Willis Hoover contest indicate a
close tieup between the New York
interests antagoniStic to Hoover.
These serve to bear out rumors
that the anti-Hoover forces hope to
use the candidates. of such men as
Willis, Watson, Curtis and Lowden
to check the Hoover movement and
cause a convention deadlock that
would permit them to stage another
midnight bedroom conference"
Coolidge for Choice
Mrs. Levan said that after Willis
she would be for the nomination of
Coolidge, as Hilles is, although I'M
der the Ohio law she was forced to
name a second choice, who would
give written permission, and selected
Lowden. She hopes to have a
chance to vote for Coolidge.
1t also was revealed here that
Willis was preparing to seek the
Presidential nomination and was
pledging delegates as long ago as
last May.

Predictions that a joint meeting Of
coal miners and operators will be
called for the first time in ten years
in Indiana, were made today as the
joint scale committee of the two
sides met for a conference.
The committee today received q
report from subcommittee that
met last October that it had failed

will expire March 81.
Both sides agree there is little
chance the joint committee will
agree, thus leaving a joint meeting

next step.

URGES LAW FOR
COURTS TO GUST
OHIO OFFICIALS
Summary Action for Men
Who Violate Oath
Proposed.
By Times Special

By Times Special
TOLEDO, Ohio, Feb. 23.-Amend-
ment of Ohio'S constitution to pro-
vide for prompt impeachment and
removal from Office by action of the
courts, instead of through action Of
the Legislature, of public officials,
who have Intentionally violated
their oath of Office, was urged
Wednesday by Judge Reynolds r.
Kinkade
Judge Kinkade has been Judge of
the common pleas court of Lucas
County, of the Appellate Court of
the Ninth district, and is now a
justice Of the Ohio State Supreme
Court.
Jurisdiction to Court
Where a judge or other public
official deliberately has and inten-
tionally violated his oath of office"
Judge KinAade said, there should
be no delay and no political protec-
ton. The case should go to the
Common Pleas Court, should take
precedence of all other matters be-
fore that court, and the court
should have final jurisdiction.
IF the jury found the accused
guilty the penalty should be imme-
date removal from Office. Further
penalty would depend on the stat
utes, but the removal from Office of
the guilty one should be immediate
and final"
That would require an amend
ment to the State constitution, and
if the people of Ohio understood
the situation I believe every man
and woman in Ohio would vote for
such an amendment.
The situation in Indiana is an
example of a man holding high of
flee after his unftness for the Office
has been established.
Put Ban on Politics
an Ohio the provision for i'm
parchment of State and judicial Of
f1cers is in the State constitution.
The charges must be brought before
the Legislature and the judgment
of guilty or innocence is by that
body.
such proceeding almost invari-
ably become a party issue. The
Legislature is either Republican or
Democratic and party politics enter
into the question.
when a judge or other high Of
fetal, for money or through influ-
ence or for any other reason, inten-
tionally violates his cath of Office,
he should be removed promptly and
summary from Office. Politics
should not enter into the situation"

GOV. SMITH GIVEN
EDGE IN CHICAGO
Observers Claim His Visit
Secured Him $4,000
Majority.
Special Dispatch to The star.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. october 27.--Gov.
Smiths two-and-a-half-day visit in Chi
cago has assured him of carrying this
city by a minimum of $4,000 votes, in
the opinion of political dopesters.
But downstate will be just as Solidly
for Hoover as though Smith had never
come West in behalf Of the Democratic
ticket, they contend. And Democratic
managers back this up with private
opinion that whatever chance Smith
had to carry Illinois he lost when his
friend George Brennan, Democratic
chieftain of the State, died.
Their only hope for New York's gov
ernor here is that he can carry the city
with enough votes to overcome the large
majority Hoover is practically certain to
obtain downstate This hope is admit
tedly so slim that few discuss 1t with
any seriousness.
Straw votes taken by newspapers after
Smith left Chicago show him to be lead
ing for the first time since these polls
were taken. Previously Hoover had been
given more votes than Smith.
One feature of the straw balloting to
which Democrats are calling attention is
that the colored wards are going to
Hoover by only 2 and to lead over
Smith, while ordinarily these districts
will go 10 or more to for the Repub-
lican candidates. AS there is tremen-
dous negro vote in Chicago, this appar-
ent swing away from the Republican
standard bearer may have an important
effect on the final result in the State, it
has been pointed out
Confident that Smiths visit has sent
a lot of Republican voters into the DEM
ocratic camp, leaders of that party are
engaged in whirlwind windup to keep
them there. Among the headliners who
have been here in the past few days or
will be here next week to aid Smith are
Rabbi Stephen Wise of New York, Sena-
tor James A. Reed of Missouri and John
j. Blaine, Republican Senator of Wis
consin, who has openly declared for
Smith.
Reports that Hoover is having the un-
divided support of Chicago women re-
suited in the Democratic women staging
at the Hotel Sherman the largest politi-
cal gathering OF women ever held here.
Between 1000 and 5000 women were at
the meeting and listened to addresses
by Democratic State candidates. So
successful was this session that now the
Republican women, not to be outdone,
have laid plans for gathering of their
own clan, and predict an even larger
attendance in the interest of Hoover.

DEMOCRATS ACCLAIM
NORRIS ADDRESS
Believe Senator's Stand On Farm
Aid Will Swing State of
Nebraska.
Special Dispatch to The star.


OMAHA, Nebr., October 2T.-Demo-
Gratis confidently assert that the speech
by Senator George w. Norris tonight,
openly supporting the Smith Robinson
ticket and hauling Hoover over the
Goals to regular barbecue" viii place
Nebraska safely in the Democratic
column.
They insist that with large proper
tion of the rural vote wavering from
desire to vote Republican because of
religion and prohibition, and yet anxi-
Gus for farm relief, Norris words,
brushing prohibition aside and over
balancing the religious issue with farm
and water power. will bring the votes
necessary to victory.
This may be the outcome, but Re-
publicans who we're at first angry at
the Norris switch and then only dug
in" little more deeply. insist that the
effect of the bolt has already been dis
counted, and that women's votes, to-
Rether with the support of Protestant
and dry laSt-ditch Republicans and dry
Democrats, will stem the tide that is
sure to run heavily toward the Demo-
cratic side between now and Novem-
ber 6.
Democrats have made the most of the
opportunity. The Norris meeting was
staged by the Nebraska Progressive
League for Al Smith, presided over by
CITY Commissioner KoutSky of Omaha,
a lifelong Republican and leader of
several thousand Republicans largely
of foreign birth who may be expected
to switch with him in body.

DELAWARE LOOKS
TO WOMEN'S VOTE
Republicans Expected to Take
State by Smaller Majority
Than in 1924.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 Inc 0Chrs
WILMINGTON, Del, october a.
Although Republican leaders are claim
ing that the State will give Herbert
Hoover a large majority, one equal to
that Coolidge received four years ago,
the indications are that the Republican
ticket will be elected by smaller ma
jority than four years ago. Both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans concede that IN
Kent and Sussex Counties, where the
rural population predominates, Hoover
and the Republican candidates Will be
elected
Here the prohibition issue will cut a
big figure. In Wilmington there will be
more wet votes and this is expected to
increase what would normally be the
Democratic vote. 1t is not believed,
however, that there will be enough OF
these to give Smith a majority.
The registration this year was the
largest in the history Of the city-about
10000 more than four years ago. Most
of these are women. This will mean
that there will be an unprecedented
women's vote in November.
There is. difference of opinion as
to how these women will vote. The Re-
publicanS are claiming most Of them
The Democrats dispute the claim. They
say that large majority of the women
who were registered heretofore were
club women and those engaged in semi
public activities. They admit that the
majority of those were Republicans.
The Democrats further claim that the
ones who have now been added to the
registration lists are home women, who
were not interested whether women had
the right of suffrage or not.
This being a fact, 1t Is admitted that
there is question as to whom these
women win vote for. 1t Is further
agreed that the women will play big
part in the result. II. w. GRAY.

VIRGINIA HEARING
100 ORATORS DAILY
Smith Chances Increase but
State Is Still Viewed
as Doubtful.
Special Dispatch to The star.

RICHMOND, Va, October 27.-It is
a gruelling campaign in Virginia. The
presidential contest is at fever heat and
has completely eclipsed the congress
Sional situation. More than 100 ad-
dresses day are now being made in
this State. Three-fourths of the total
number of speakers on the stump are
representing the Democratic party. The
remainder is composed of Republican
speakers and those sent out by the
organization Of boiling Democrats
headed by Bishop Cannon of the
Methodist Church South.
Carter Glass, United States Senator
from Virginia, came to Richmond Tues
day night and spoke at monster
Democratic rally. His address was IN
the main reply to the speech de-
livered her last week by William
Borah, Republican Senator from Idaho.
but Senator Glass, himself Metho-
dist, paid his respects to Bishop Cannon
The great audience arose to its feet with
a storm of applause when Senator Glass,
referring to Bishops Cannon, Mouzon
and DuBose, warned Virginians against
that trinity of popes who would con-
vert the Methodist Church South into
the Methodist Republican Churcn
South"
Billy Sunday, evangelist, will con-
clude Hoover Curtis campaign tour in
Virginia with an address in Richmond
Friday. Democrats admit that they are
greatly concerned over the effect of
Mr.. Sundays visit to Virginia. AS he
always draws great crowds and is able
to stir his audiences to high pitch OF
enthusiasm, they fear his influence here
so near the end of the campaign.
The situation in Virginia now ap-
pears to be favorable to the success of
the Smith Robinson ticket, although
the State Is still in doubt and probably
will remain so until the day of the elec-
ton. The trend in the last week has
been toward Smith. An important fac
tor in this has been the appearance on
the stump in Virginia of Fred S. Greene,
director of public works of New York
State. He came here for speaking
tour of one week, but was persuaded
to stay another week. He is a Protes-
tant, a native of Rappahannock County,
Virginia, and an alunnus Of the Vtr-
ginia Military Institute.
His appearance before large audiences
has done much to quiet rumors that
Gov. Smith does not appoint Protestants
to office and that Tammany Hall is
hostile to the South. Throughout Vir-
ginia Col Greene has been pointed out
as the man who holds the most inl-
portant Office within the appointiVe
bower of Gov. Smith.
