STATE DELEGATION
SEEMS LOWDEN'S
Former Governor and Th0mp.
son Seen Far From Peace
in Cook County.


CHICAGO, February 25-Frank O.
Lowden, "favorite son. of Illinois and
second only to Secretary Hoover ma
tionally in the Republican preconven-
ton campaign favoritism so far. ap-
pears certain now to be on the way to
controlling a majority Of the Illinois
delegation Of 81 votes at Kansas City.
The petition filing for presidential
preference, State and county offices,
has closed. Lowden's name, like Abou
Ben Adhem's, leads all the rest, and
there are no others.
With the exception OF Cook County.
the Republican delegate states are
Lowden unopposed. and there is a
Lowden slate in the 10 metropolitan
districts to combat that put into the
I'll by William Hale Thompson.
Lowden Claims Strength.
The State has IS congressional dis
tricts. each to elect two delegates and
alternates. Following the April 10
primary the State convention Of these
elected delegates will be charged with
choosing IL delegates at large. Omer
says Lowden will carry all OF the IS
Of the metropolitan 10. That victory,
he insists. will guarantee IL LoWden
delegates at large.
Thompson does not regard himself as
presidential nomination candidate.
He was doomed a few months ago by
some of the lieutenants of his domi-
nant Cook County faction, but Thomp-
son is not now taking 1t seriously.
Enmity between Lowden and Thompson
dates back to war days when Lowden
as governor sent State troops to pre-
vent war protest meeting that
Socialist Milwaukee had barred and for
which Thompson. then. as now, mayor
Of Chicago. gave permit.
Peace Seen Distant.
There Is little likelihood of any open
compacts of peace between Thompson
and Lowden. The Lowden Cook Coun-
~ forces do not want peace. saying
that Thompson's opposition to Lowden
is worth more outside OF Cook County
than his support. Such delegates as
Thompson may elect in Cook County
including himself. likely will vote at
the start of the Republican convention
for President Coolidge. Where they go

pears that the conservation group may
start such fight.
The Lowden committee sent staff
Of reporters out to interview Mime
apolis business men on the BackuS
statement. The result. according to
Chairman Claude H. Mackenzie, was
disappointing" as most Of the men
interviewed declined to express an
opinion, and the majority of those who
did were found to be anti-Lowden.
A branch Lowden headquarters has
been established in Minneapolis. how
ever. and fight will be made for
Lowden delegates.
Woman supporters of Mr.. Hoover
have formed volunteer committee
with separate headquarters, which
will enlist the activities of women In Min
neapolis and other cities for Hoover.
Considerable Hoover sentiment ap-
peared among Republican editors at
the time of the State editorial meeting
here few days ago, and the great ma
1ority expressed opposition to instructed
delegates. 1t was held likely that
Hoover delegates would be elected from
the first and sixth districts. as we'll as
from the fourth and eighth, and that
Hoover might split one or two other
districts.
Shift in District.
Since the editorial meeting, however,
there has been shift In the sixth
district. which indicates that the dis
trict may be for Lowden, uninstructed.
At meeting Of the district committee
in Brainerd the sentiment was strong
for Hoover, but the southern part Of
the district is just as strong for Low
den, and Lowden men are more
aggressive.
While Democratic sentiment appears
to be overwhelming for Al Smith. an
effort Is being made by Senator Reed
to break into the State. John A.
McDermott. formerly prominent
Minnesota Democrat. but now of New
Orleans. is here working for Reed.
after spending two weeks in Wisconsin
and getting Reed petition started
there.
1t is settled now that there will be
only one Democratic State convention.
The eastman faction. called to meet
and issue separate convention call.
decided to avoid complications and
ratify the call already issued by the
Austin group. The State convention
therefore will meet. as provided in the
Austin call. March Is at the Mime
apolis Municipal Auditorium. and then
will elect the "a Minnesota delegates.
Each faction still claims to be the
legal State committee. but the issue be-
tween them now Is academic, as new
committee will be named by the party
nominees after the June primaries.
Smith sentiment predominated in both
groups. and the division was entirely
on old factional lines.

will depend largely upon which

business will depend largely upon which
direction the band wagon is going.
Because Lowden has no opposition In
the presidential preference primary
the Illinois primary result does not
bind the elected delegates-real inter-
est Of the politicians Is centered upon
the State campaigns.
George E. Brennan, Democratic ma
tional committeeman, Of Chicago anc
Thomas F. Donovan of Joliet, Demo.

and have no opposition. Also theil

out opposition.

who had started originally for the gov
ernor nomination, is the Democratic
candidate for United States Senator fol

tions when he persuaded Attorney Gen.
eral Oscar Carlstrom to back down ir
his attempt for gubernatorial nomina-
ton in favor of Secretary of State L. L
Emmerson. Carlstrom will run for re.

RICHMOND, Va, February 25.-Vir-
ginia Republicans have held many city
and county meetings this week for the
purpose OF electing delegates to the
Republican State convention, which will
meet in Roanoke March IT, 1t is sig
nificant that these local conventions
have been silent on the question of
their preference as to the party's presi-
Dental nominee. This reflects the atti-
tude OF the party leaders In the State,
who. being In the main Office holders,
do not wish to commit themselves to
any candidate at this stage Of the
game.
That the Republicans plan an ag-
greSsive congressional campaign In Viz
ginia this year Is indicated by the fact
that the second congressional district
convention OF the party. held at Nor
folk wednesday nominated as the Re-
publican candidate for Congress Menal-
Gus Landlord, who Is recognized as their
strongest man in the seaside section OF
the State. Mr.. Landlord has already
made several races for Congress and
although defeated each time has shown
a growing strength in a district which
has not sent a Republican to Congress
In decades.
Democrats in convention assembled
at Bristol Tuesday nominated w. H.
Rouse as the partys candidate for Con-
greSs in the ninth district. which Is the
political battle-ground of Virginia. With
the exception Of the last three elections
in which George c. Peery, Democrat
was elected TO Congress, the ninth for
the last quarter of a century has sent
Republicans to Congress- There Is con-
siderable talk to the effect that Repub-
licans OF the district may nominate c.
Bascom Slemp. former Representative
in Congress. as their candidate to op-
pose Mr.. Rouse.
While Republicans Of the State are
still engaged in 'watchful waiting
much "undercover" work is being done
by the Democrats, both of the Smith
and anti-Smith factions. The anti
Smith men are without a candidate
but are doing all they can to break the
morale of the supporters Of the New
York executive. Dire threats Of punish
ment are being made to political lead
ers If they espouSe the cause Of Gov
Smith. and these are having such an
effect that the politicians are keeping
very quiet.
Nearly all of them are in hopes that
Smith will be nominated and they wish
that they could see their way clear to
openly champion his cause. Expecting
the nomination OF Smith and confident
that II nominated he will be elected
they fear that their patronage viii be
limited If they do not take stand 10.

MINNESOTA FIGHT
TURNS ON LOWDEN
Hooverites and ll|inoisan's
Sponsors Come Out
Into Open.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. February 25
The forces Of Frank o. Lowden and
Herbert Hoover are challenging each
other openly in this city, and the con-
test between them is warming up in
other parts of the State.
E. W. Backus. prominent Minneapolis
lumberman and paper manufacturer
came out this week in public state
ment for Lowden and began personally
to campaign among Minneapolis bust
ness men for Lowden support. He based
his appeal on the ground that the
farmers need relief legislation and that
business men should stand with them
for the candidate representing the farm
relief movement.
Statement Challenged.
The Backus statement was met i'm
mediately by Ivan Bowen, State Hoover
manager. with a statement asserting
that Mr.. Backus' interest lies in his
plans for damming the boundary waters
between Minnesota and Canada to de-
velop water power. and that he is OPP
posed to Hoover because of the Secre-
tary'S stand for conservation.
Quickly on the heels of these mani
festos came one from the Izaak Walton
League. through O. l.. Koupanger,
State secretary-treasurer. This league
and other organizations of sportSmen
have been campaigning actively against
the Backus waterpower proposals, on
the ground that the dams would destroy
the game fish and the scenic beauty Of
the boundary lakes now paradise for
canoeistS. The Walton League some
time ago urged its members to take
part in the coming caucuseS and ser
that only friends of conservation were
elected as delegates
The Koupanger statement declared
that the fight now is in the open. and
the time for ''pussyfooting" had passed.
Mr.. Koupanger asserted that Mr..
Backus' interest in Lowden is due to
his desire to control the Minnesota
delegation and use it to further his
boundary waters plan
1t happens that State Senator Will
liam F. Brooks. Republican national
committeeman. is a business partner
Of Mr.. Backus. Mr. Brooks had previ-
orsly declared his neutrality on presi-
dental candidates. He lost no time
in repeating it. but the Hoover men
still accuse hi Of leaning to Lowden.
There had heen no prospect of fight
on Mr.. Brooks reelection. Now 1t APP

CONSERVATIVES OPEN
DRIVE FOR WISCONSIN
Leaders Out to Defeat La Toilette
Progressives in Delegates
Contest.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
MADISON, Wis. February 25--De-
termined to defeat majority Of the
La Toilette Progressive candidates for
delegates to the Republican national
convention, prominent leaders in the
conservative Republican ranks in Wis
consin are holding regional rallies
throughout the State to perfect an
active working organization in every
community for an intensive delegate
campaign.
The most important of the con-
sentative rallies was held at Madison
during the past week. About $50 con-
servative Republicans from the third
and seventh congressional districts. and
also from other sections Of the State,
attended.
Situation Is Changed.
Because Of the death Of the elder
La Toilette since the last presidential
election, the situation in the Repub-
lican party in Wisconsin Is somewhat
different than during past presidential
campaigns. This Is the first time in
20 years that the Progressives are sup
porting a presidential candidate from
outside the State in the presidential
primary; and the conservatives there
fore feel that they have a much better
chance to win than before.
While the conservatives are not
united on one presidential candidate,
some OF them favoring ex-Gov. Lowden
Of Illinois and others supporting Sec
rotary Of Commerce Hoover, they are
all supporting the same slate Of dele
gates.
Separate Lowden and Hoover dele
gate candidates were not selected be-
cause the conservatives felt that their
only chance to win would be to unite
on a slate of uninstructed delegates,
pledged to support the principles OF the
Coolidge administration.
Smith Loses Strength.
The complications which have de-
veloped within the Democratic ranks
have furnished the outstanding sur
prises during the presidential primary
campaign. While only about two
months ago it appeared that there
would be little or no contest In the
Democratic party and that Gov. Smith
Of New York would easily win all Of
the delegates from Wisconsin. develop
ments during the past month have been
such that the outlook for the New YORK
Governor Is now extremely doubtful.
