WETS ARE FOUGHT
IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Opposition Mainly Directed
. at Smith —Walsh Picks
Up Following.
*i Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBIA. S. C„ March 24—The
opposition to anv wet candidate to be
nominated by the Democratic party is
taking definite shape. and the proba
bilities arc that within a few days an
nouncements ail! be made and a con
vention railed to issue an address to the
peoole of the State
This opposition is primarily directed
rpainst Gov Smith, because he is the
calv wet candidate thought of in South
Carolina. It is pretty generally under- j
stood that an active campaign is under
wwy in his behalf and two prominent
politicians and ex-office holders are
mentioned as his particular advocates
In the State.
It is understood, too. that the Klan .
soon will begin an active campaign
against Gov. Smith. The activities of
this organization have not so far been
directed against Senator Walsh In
deed. it is well understood that the
Senator has many supporters In the
State who would not vote for Gov.
Smith.
While not yet awakening any en
thusiasm. there is a quiet feeling that
Senator Wslsh would be a very accept
able candidate for the majority of the
people of the State. Praise for his
high character, patriotism and accom
plishments for purification in politics
are generally heard and little Is heard
of his religion.
Sfntiment in favor of a bolt from
Democratio ranks in case of the nomi
nation of Go'- Smith is in evidence
and is growing. There is not the same
r-wfidence that South Carolina will re
main in the fold in case the national
Democratic party writes wet on it?

publican leaders are looking about for
a successor to Thomas P. Cheney of
Laconia as chairman of the Repub

forefront as a strong leader for the
O. O. P. forces. Maj. Cheney, who

to the national convention, announced
recently that he will retire from poli

There appears to be some opposition
to the election of former Councilor Al

that some other prominent Republican
may be suggested for the offl-e The

BONE-DRY DEMOCRATS
DEFEATED IN TEXAS
Faction Falls to Agree on Any One
Candidate—-Walsh Boom
Evaporates.
Special DwUlt in The Star.
AUSTIN. Tex.. March 24.—Lack of a
candidate upon which it can agree ha?
flattened the bone-dry Democratic fac
tion tn Texas, which threatened to bolt.
Rather than take a pledge to support
any nominee, the short-lived Walsh,
boom evaporated when it was found
only the McAdoo-Klan leaders of four
years ago were urging him.
Efforts to hog-tie the vote to Gov
Moody for the first ballots fizzled when
Moody took leadership of the opposi
tion to support the nominee to prevent t
instructions against any candidate and
to require affirmative instruction only |
