ALABAMA DRYS BACK
KILBY AGAINST BLACK
Senator Expected to Win, How
ever, Because of Showing in
First Primary Voting.
nv r RnTHERNHET
BY ]. F. ROTHERMEL

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 4.-Echoes
of the 1928 campaign, when Alabama
narrowly missed switching to the Re-
publican column for the first time since
reconstruction days, are being heard in
the fight between Senator Hugo L.
Black and Former Gov. Thomas E.
Kilby for the Democratic nomination
for the seat now held by Black
A charge that Senator Black was
lukewarm in his support Of the Demo-
cratic ticket in Alabama four years ago
and came out for the party ticket only
under pressure was made this week by
Forney Johnston, son of former Senator
Joseph F. Johnston and leader for the
regulars in the 1928 split.
The only other political development
in Alabama during the week was in
creasing evidence of dry support for
Kilby. Although the Executive Com
mittee Of the Alabama Anti-Saloon
League declined to take sides in the
contest, Fred M. jackson, State presi-
dent of the league, has entered the
arena on the side of Kilby. A. H. Car
michael, author Of the States prohibi-
ton laws, has ais ocame out for Kilby.
Despite these accretions to Kilby's
strength, however, the Black forces re-
main confident Of victory in view Of
the fact that the incumbent lacked only
few hundred votes Of getting in the
first primary election a clear majority
over four opponents.

party leaders have been expecting it
to be.
The boom for Senator Bulkley for
the presidential nomination started in
the East last week caused no favorable
reaction with the Democrats in his
own State, though with Baker, Cox and
Pomerene he had been listed as pos
sibly to be supported by the deleg alton
after the movement for Gov. White
shall have demonstrated that the Gov
ernor cannot be nominated. In fact, it
is a surprise here that the Senator is
we'll enough known to the Democrats
of the country to cause him to be con-
sidered outside the State in this con-
nection.
In his contest with Congress, Presi-
dent Hoover seems to have won favor
in Ohio. The proof he has given that
he can fight and that he has level
head has brought to his support mem
bers of his party here who have been
lukewarm toward the administration.
The President is winning back lost pres
tige with former supporters in Ohio
It remains to be seen whether this will
be sufficient to overcome the opposition
that he still faces among the unem-
ployed industrial workers and the
farmers.

PROHIBITION BECOMES
ISSUE IN WYOMING
No Marked Difference Exists as
Between Parties in Coming
Campaign.
BY R. E. EVANS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CASPER, Wyo., June 4.-Political
lines are being drawn in Wyoming as a
matter of routine development with the
prohibition question claiming momen-
tary precedence as result of organiZa-
tion activities of the allied prohibition
forces.
Drys have served notice that they will
wage an active campaign against can
didates of wet proclivities and they are
at work mobilizing their leaders. This
movement and the resentment aroused
by litigation instituted to prevent SUBJ
mission of the repeal referendum au-
thorized by the last Legislature have
had a tendency to draw repeal and
modification advocates closer together.
Between major parties no marked diff
ference of opinion exists.
1t is notable that there has been little
or no press criticism of the damp"
position taken by the Wyoming delega-
ton at Washington, while there have
been numerous expressions commencing
the attitude of Senators Kendrick and
Carey and Representative Vincent

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June A.
Hoosier Republican leaders, with their
State convention due next Wednesday
and Thursday, are wrestling with the
prohibition problem
Drafts of the tentative national
plank calling for resubmission of the
eighteenth amendment have been re-
ceived and have met general favor, but
there are a lot Of district leaders who
wish to go much further.
A monkey-wrench already has been
thrown in the machinery whereby
Senator James E. Watson, majority
floor leader of the Senate, is to have
opposition. Walter Schrage. formerly
mayor Of Whiting, has announced his
candidacy against Senator Watson on
a wringing wet platform. Schrage is
standing on platform that calls for
the immediate revision of the Volstead
act. Schrage's announcement is con-
strued as an adroit move to force a
more liberal plank in the State plat
form.
Determined wet delegations are COM
Ing to the convention from South Bend,
Fort Wayne, Terre Haute, Evansville
and Indianapolis bent on outspoken

COLUMBIA, S. c.. June 4-With the
Democratic party unpledged, but COM
mitted to the support of Gov. Roose-
welt, and the Republican party, as rep
resented by the Hambright faction, to
the candidacy of President Hoover, the
people of South Carolina are now more
interested in the coming campaign for
United States Senator to succeed Sena-
tor Ellison D. Smith than anything else
politically.
Senator Smith is a candidate to sue
ceed himself. Former Senator Cole L.
Blease has already entered the race.
Others in the race are Ashton H. Will
liams, Leon Harris and L. H. Southard.
It is supposed that Senator Smith
will make the race as dry. The posi-
ton of Blease is just a little uncertain.
He is supposed to be q wet. Williams,
Southard and Harris are also supposed
to be vets.
It is universally admitted that the
three leading candidates with strength
in the order named are Senator Smith,
Blease and Williams, and the general
prediction is that the second race will
be between Smith and Blease, with the
chances in the case largely in favor OF
Senator Smith.

RALEIGH, N. c., June 4-National
politics have been wholly obscured in
North Carolina during the past week
by the closing campaigns of candidates
voted on in today's primaries.
Under the North Carolina law a ma
jority is required for the nomination
and today's voting is expected to be
inconclusive in respect to most of the
important Offices
The rrn-of primary will take place
on July 2, which means that the Demo-
cratic State convention or June l6
will be staged in the midst of what
promises to be very hectic second
primary campaign. In order to add as
little as possible to the dissension al
ready existing in party ranks the
present program of the leaders IS to
select Roosevelt delegation to the ma
tional convention, adopt platform
with as little friction as possible and
adjourn the convention without a great
deal of oratory or discussion.

DEMOCRATS IN IOWA
CLAIM GOOD CHANCE
Sentiment in State Also Showing
Trend Toward Anti
Prohibition.
BY c. C. CLIFTON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DES MONIES, Iowa, June A.
Thousands of Iowans who have been
voting Republican are planning right
now to desert to the Democratic ticket
this Fall. They are not even waiting
for the Iowa primaries and the national
conventions to make the party nomina-
tions
The Democrats are more enthused
about their chances this Fall than they
have been in Iowa since the days Of
Gov. Boies. They are going to vote in
their own primary seriously Monday
and their candidates are working like
beavers for nominations they regard as
valuable
The widespread sentiment for setting
the 'ins" out accounts for the general
hostility to the Republican ticket. It
goes for the whole ballot from Presi-
dent down. Whether it will mate
rialize when Fall comes is uncertain.
In Eastern Iowa the talk about vot-
ing the Democratic ticket in the Fall Is
due specifically to the prohibition
question. All along the Mississippi
River and for several tiers of counties
westward wet sentiment is increasing
1t an amazing pace.

Delaware Swings Back Toward
President in Past Week.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WILMINGTON, Del, June 4.-The
trend of sentiment in Delaware seems
to be swinging definitely to President
Hoover. Several months ago many of
the Republican leaders here were wor-
ried over the situation, fearing that the
State might go Democratic. Some of
the big men in the party were wavering.
They expressed themselves as feeling
that President Hoover was not handling
the situation with regard to taxes and
economy with enough force. His &C
tions during the past few days has con-
vinced them that Mr.. Hoover should be
sent back to the White House.
Despite the apparent drift to tire Re-
publican candidate, the Democrats are
more confident of carrying the State
than they have been for years. They
base their claims, however, upon the
unrest in the industrial centers here due
to unemployment.
