KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS

DLspatch 70 The star.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 2-Having
their every expectation confirmed by
the national convention, Kentucky Re-
publicans can hardly be said to display
any great enthusiasm over recent events
or great hope for the immediate future.
The politically-minded seem pleased
with the prohibition equivocation. Few,
If their inmoSt desires could have been
gratified, would have cared for a repe-
tition of the Hoover Curtis ticket But
they are accepting things as they are
with patient resignation, determined to
do the best they can IN November, but
with a feeling that the cards are
stacked.
When the lists closed on Tuesday for
primary declarations, Democratic nomi-
nations in all nine congressional dis
tricts were certain, and Republican
nominations in seven. Senator A. w.
Barkley must defend himself in a pri
mary, facing four opponents. They
are former United States Senator
George B. Martin, Dr. Alex L. Hill,
Prestonsburg; DR.. j. F. Wright, Russell,
and G.. Lucian Drury.
InaSmuch as the Republicans intend
to select their nominee for the Senate
by convention, 1t was not necessary for
the aspirants to file. Nevertheless
the following four went through the
starters box: Elmer g. Roberts, Camp
ton: Silas A Sullivan, jamestown; Arch
NJ. Clark, Irvine, and Guy E. Childers,
Floyd County. Former Gov Edwin P.
Morrow, who is expected TO be the con-
vention's choice, did not file.

CHICAGO, July 2-Virginians to-
night cheered the acceptance speech OF
Franklin D. Roosevelt and started Tor
home to wage another campaign.
Already indication that Bishop Can
non, leader of the anti-Smith forces in
1923, would be active against the ticket
had come in a statement by the veteran
dry leader that he expected to summon
a conference soon similar to that he
called in Asheville four years ago.
Byrd Pledges Support.
Former Gov. Harry F. Byrd in his
statement last night pledged every ef-
fort to aid in putting Roosevelt in the
White House. Tonight he was named
a member of the committee to escort
the nominee to the platform, and he
preceded the New York Governor arm
in arm with Senator David Walsh
of Massachusetts.
In addition to the campaign to put
Virginia back into the Democratic
column, which it forsook four years
ago for the first time since reconstruc-
tion, delegates were giving thought to
congressional campaigns. 1t was the
aim Of Gov. Pollard and other leaders
to send a solid Democratic delegation
to Congress. The absence OF OppoSi-
ton to any of the congressional aspi-
rants of the party in the August Demo-
cratic primary they regarded as an
omen.
Former Gov. Byrd received
telegram from Roosevelt expressing his
for the support of Vir-
ginia, pledged to Byrd, on the final
nomination ballot.
Delegates Hear Pollard.
Gov. John Garland Pollard today ad-
dressed the convention to offer a reso-
luton extending thanks to Edward N.
Hurley and his local Committee on Ar
and to a subcommittee Of
the National Committee, of which Byrd
was a member. A cheer went up from
the delegation as the Governor stood
before the microphone. In cheering
after the acceptance speech, the Vfr-
ginia delegates shouted with the same
degree Of enthusiasm they exhibited in
the demonstration which they led for
their own candidate-Byrd.
Many Of them left on trains tonight
but few desired to catch up on lost
sleep and waited until morning.

HOOVER'S BACKERS
LOSE NORTH DAKOTA
Democratic Ticket Seen as
Sure Winner Following Up
heaVaI in Primary.
BY X. w. SIMoNS.

Special Dispatch to The star.
BISMARCK, N. OAK, July Put
North Dakota in the Democratic column
next November.
That is the opinion Of most political
observers as the result of the upheaval
recorded at the Republican primary
election Wednesday, in which President
Hoovers supporters In the party were
Smothered by their opponents.
The now dominant Republican fac
tion ~ the State is as clearly aligned
against Hoover as the Democrats
Senator Gerald P. Nye, who rode to
denomination on the crest Of an ava
lanche which gave him the largest ma
jority in the history Of North Dakota
primaries, declared himself in opposi-
ton to the President in his only cam
paign address in the State
Heretofore, most Of the State ofices
have been held by the faction opposed
to Nye. All Of them we're swept out bv
the primary vote. To the fact that
the dominant Republican faction is op-
posed to him add the natural enmity
OF the Democrats, and it is impossible
to see how the Republicans have a
chance OF carrying North Dakota with
Hoover.
The plain fact is that the voters Of
North Dakota feel that the ballot is q
club which may be welded against the
'ins" in a struggle for improved con-
ditionS. They want tax reduction. At
Wednesdays election they supported
four initiated measures, placed on the
ballot by petition, to cut public ex-
penses.
The wet plank in their platform will
help rather than hurt the Democrats
in this traditionally dry State, which
never has known legal liquor. Even
those who have been dry welcome the
opportunity for a Glean-cut decision.

PORTLAND, Greg, July 2.-When
the Democratic party went "wringing
wet" Wednesday night at the national
convention, the signal was set off here
for all the vets to make whoopee and
give many rousing cheers for the party
of Jackson. The cheering was not con-
fined to the Democrats, for over from

cause the plank adopted by the
Democrats is so clear cut.
Although oregon is supposed to be a
stronghold of the drys, the attitude of
the voters of recent date has shown a
tendency to go over to the damper
side. For instance, Gen. Martin,
Representative in Congress from Port
land, is a wet. So is James w. Mott,

There is no doubt that the strength
of the vets is on the increase, and If
enough of the Republicans can be re-
cruited to the extreme wet cause Of the
Democrats, the party stands in fair
way of getting somewhere in the
November election.

In the mining States there was some

Here and there, though, there are some

the fact that the depression Is being

South Carolina has had no high

coupled with the resolution was that of
an uninstructed delegation.

close race between Senator Smith and

Mayor Frank Hague, who led the op-

HELENA, Mont, July 2.-The un-

The State is blessed with abundant
crops and, while mining, its first in
dustry, remains in the doldrums, there
is reviving hope of gradually improy-

comes before November, Republicans
believe, the chance of President Hoover
to repeat in this State will be brighter.
1t is too soon to get repercussions on
their performances at Chicago from
the Democrats, but it is safe to assert
the battle there has not tended to in
crease confidence. The undertonic
mutter of discomfort with both old
parties is by no means rare. A third

much more interested in something to
