DRYS IN VIRGINIA
WIELD BIG STICK
Threaten Political Punish
ment to Those Who In
dorse Smith.
Dl*l»*teh te The Star.
RICHMOND. Va. April 21.—With
the present slow rate of the presiden
tial nomination campaign in this
State the impression grows that Vir
ginia will play but a minor part in the I
Houston convention's selection of a
Democratic standard bearer Most of i
the politicians b?lie\c that the nomi- i
nation will be virtually determined by
action of other States by the time that j
the Virginia State Democratic conven- j
tioa meets at Roanoke June 21. And >
politicians admit they hope matters ’
will turn out this way. They declare J
It is the only escape from a situation
which is charged with dynamite so
far as their personal political fortunes j
are concerned
From the standpoint of patronage j
and national political expediency, most
politicians would like to be lined up
behind the candidacy of Alfred E.
Smith, and they are predicting his
nomination, bu. they admit they fear
the political punishment threatened by
Bishop James Canon of the Metho- I
fiist Episcopal Church South and other
leaders of he Anti-Saloon League and
allied organizations. As a consequence, j
they are not openly expressing a pref- ;
erence for any of the "dry' men who i
he e been mentioned in connection i
tr.th the Democratic presidential nom- j
lnation.
Alliance Formed.
Beginning about 1914 an alliance
was formed between the Anti-Saloon
League and the dominant Democratic
faction of the State which was popu
larly termed the '•machine.*’ This
entente functioned smoothly until a
few years ago. Since 1924 there have
been many evidences of a lack of har
mony between the two allies, but the
alliance has never been broken offi
cially. The question they seem to be
debating is which element, the Anti-
Saloon League or the • organization.*’ is
stronger in the State
There Is much political wire-pulling
going on in the State. There never ;
was a presidential campaign in Virginia
in which there was so great a proper- ;
tiOn of "undercover" work being done.
Th? anti-Smith element is the most ;
aggressive. Th- Smith element is play- j
tng a purely defensive game, but it is
psaving it rather shrewdly and well.
Th? anti-Saloon League plans to in- j
troduce at the Roanoke convention a i
resolution instructing the Virginia dele- j
gat ion to vote against Smith. Reed ano i
Rit-hie. The opposition plans to "stand }
pet" on its proposal that the delegation :
Kto Houston uninstrueted. Right
ere will be th* main fight of th? con
vention.
Esks Earlier Date.
United States Senator Glass proposes
that the S ate Democratic committee
reconsider its action in setting so late a
date for the State convention, but there
is little evidence that any change will
be made. According to Senator Glass. ,
the date selected is so late that the ,
Virginia delegation will have no oppor
. tunity to take part in the Houston pre
liminaries and mill be virtually without >
Influence.
Prominent Republicans say that while ;
supposedly in the Hoover camp it is •
very uncertain how the Virginia dele- !
gates to the Kansas City convention !
will cast their votes. C. Bc-scom Slemp’s
declaration for Hoover made at the time
of the holding of the Republican State
convention was considered then as
meaning that the delegation would sup
port the candidacy of the Secretary.
Since then considerable Lowden senti
ment has been in evidence in the State
and there is talk of Dawes and Long
worth. R. L. C. BARRET.

MOODY VIRTUALLY
RULES DELEGATES
Death of Kirby Leaves Texas
Governor as Power in Se
lection of Slate.
Special Dispatch to Th* Star.
AUSTIN. Tex , April 21.—The sudden
death during a political conference with
Gov. Dan Moody of R Harper Kirby,
leader of the principal opposition
i forces to Moody's State-wide unin
! structed harmony program, has left the
I governor virtually in command of the
| selection of the 40 delegates who will
i cast the Texas vote at the Democratic
' convention at Houston
Kirby was leader of those who would
instruct against Gov. Smith. Reed and
Ritchie, and who threatened to bolt the
oarty if any wet were nominated. Kir
by had sought a conference with
! Moody, seeking to reach a common
! ground, since Moody's majority element
| has declared against Smith or any
' other wet, but proposed to leave the
delegation uninstructed so as to have
power in the national convention.
Kirby, stricken by a heart attack, died
before this conference was over, and
the accord between factions was nevet
reached, yet his following has become
disorganized.
Bailey Enters Fight.
Former United States Senator Bailey
has entered the fight as leader of a i
third faction to "loyalists.” who are re- j
garded as supporters of Smith, but who i
are supporting Moody's demand that all !
those who attend conventions in the j
State must pledge themselves to sup- f
port any nominee. Cone Johnson.
Moody appointee, is left as chairman of
th? bone dry element, succeeding Kirby,
with Thomas B. Love, former national
committeeman and past leader of Mc-
Adoo forces, as the dominant factor in
this group. Love is supporting Senator
Walsh, but is credited with an effort ;
to tie the delegation to an offchance
candidate so as to control it in the
actual nomination.
Gov. Moody will spend the next few
weeks in a vigorous campaign seeking
to have a dry platform demand in
structed on the Texas delegates, with
the choice of the candidate left open.
All these inner workings of the Demo
cratic factions explains the most I
unique fight in the history of Texas for
control of the 40 votes, which admit
tedly are expected to definitely turn the
! scales for or against A3 Smith in the
convention, and thus become of national
import.
Against A1 Smith
Present indications are that Texas
; delegates will fail to vote for Smith on
any ballot, even though hr should be
i nominated after the favorite-son
I jockeying is washed out. Texas has
i constitutional prohibition and a pro-
I hibition law far more stringent than
the Volstead act. The Texas Governor
is thoroughly dry and will permit se
lection of none but delegates who will
support only a dry candidate, though he
is making the most aggressive part of
' his fight against binding these dele
gates in the hostess State for or against
any candidate, holding such action
would weaken Texas' power in th* con
vention and would be discourtesy to
delegates and candidates
Tom Connally. Representative, opened

forts are being made by the antl-

SIMMONS DENIES
SMITH SUPPORT
Says New Yorker Will Not Be
Nominated —Creates Issue
in North Carolina.
j Special Dispatch to Th* Star.
RALEIGH. N. C., April 21.—Projection
of the issue of the continued dominance
of the so-called Simmons machine as
the real issue of the Smith fight in
North Carolina, and assurance of sup
port for Lowden by a majority of the
North Carolina delegation at the Re
publican national convention at Kansas
i City were the outstanding political
events of the week in tne State How
ever. the continued presence in the
State of Gov. Smith, who is spending
his vacation at Asheville and Is adding
: greatly to his popularity, is an event not
to be overlooked.
Publication of a report that United
States Senator Simmons had decided
not to press his fight on Gov. Smith on
the ground that the nomination of the
New York Governor is inevitable
brought forth an emphatic denial from
i the man who has? dominated North
Carolina polities for the 27 years he has
been in the United States Senate.
Denies Smith's Chances.
"I do not believe that Mr. Smith will
be nominated or that he would be
j elected if nominated." declared Senator
j Simmons in a formal statement.
The Senator also declared that he
t was not considering his personal fortune
and that he regarded that as a matter
| of minor consequence, and that his con
: cem was for the future of the Demo
cratic party in the Nation, particularly
I in North Carolina and the South.
The fact remains, however, that if
Smith supporters can make good on
their confident claims of control of the
North Carolina State convention, it will
i be a severe blow to the Simmons pres
> tige and a frank appeal Is now being
made to the anti-machine elements in
the State.
Delegates Selected.
The last of the Republican district
conventions met Thursday and the
State’s 20 delegates to the Kansas City
convention have been chosen. Five of
i the 20 are Instructed, all of them for
Lowden. Six others are definitely com
mitted to Lowden. 8 are for Hoover or
lean that way. and 1 Is in the doubtful
column. But the Lowden people confi
dently expect to get 14 votes, counting
upon overcoming Hoover leanings on the
part of the State chairman. Brown low
Jackson, and H. F. Seawell. candidate
for governor, by appeals to go with the
majority of the delegation.

Bare Willingness to
Back President.
i Special Diapstch to Tit* Star,
\\ MONTGOMERY. Ala.. April 21.—The
. growing conviction that Gov. Smith will
~ receive the Democratic nomination and
the uncertainty about any proposed Re
publican candidate has started a move
ment toward President Coolidge among
Alabama Republicans. As yet there is
no definite alignment of conflicting
forces, but there are appearances of a
desire to beat Smifh.
Republican leaders throughout the
State where there are sufficient numbers
‘ to hold a county convention announce
. mass meetings for May 1. the date of
the State primary. At these meetings
| delegates will be named to a State
! ! convention and congressional conven
tions who will name a delegation to rep
' j resent Alabama Republicans in the
j Kansas City national convention. Sup
i porters of Frank O. Lowden are making
! a strong effort to secure at least 6 of
'the 14 delegates. Administration forces
| however, claim that Alabama will cast
i a solid vote for Herbert Hoover,
tyolidge Sentiment.
Both Lowden and Hoover supporters,
i however, express a willingness to drop
their respective leaders and flock to
' the standard of Calvin Coolidge should
. he permit his name to go before the
convention.
While there are only two avowed
i Smith adherents running for delegate
to the Demacratic national convention
with a chance of election, the Smith
strength in Alabama is growing
j Friends of the New Yorker want his
name placed on a special ballot along
with any other aspirant for the presi
dential nomination, so confident are
these leaders that they suggest that the
Alabama delegation be instructed by
this ballot to vote as a unit for the
man receiving the majority in the
primary.
The proposal to test the strength of
presidential candidates for Democratic
favor comes too late The State com
mittee has provided for election of an

ARIZONA DELEGATION
SEEN UNINSTRUCTED
Campbell** Edict Blow to Lowden
Hopes—Say* Hoover Will Win
on First Ballot.
1 j Speriftl Di«p*l(h lo Th* Slur.
PHOENIX, April 21.—The usually
well regulated Republican politics of
Arizona took a surprising turn this week
when after it was practically decided
that the State convention of April 28
would send a Lowden delegation to
Kansas City, former Gov. Thomas E
Campbell returned from Spain and
casually announced that "Arizona will
follow her custom of the past and send
an uninstructed delegation to the con
vention.” Mr. Campbell is an ardent
Hoover man.
>i The assurance of the announcement
presages an unlooked-for battle at the
. State meet. Two elemnts. it was be
lieved, would decide the local Republic
an selection: First. Mr. Lowden comes
under the all-inclusive head of "favorite
i son" because of his part-time residence
i here; second. Mr. Hoover has actively
i opposed Arizona on the Colorado River
i question. To have ex-Gov. Campbell,
acknowledged party bellwether, de
i elare, after two days In the State fol-
I lowing some months abroad, that an
! uninstrueted delegation would be se
lected and, further, that Mr. Hoover
would be nominated on the first ballot,
was to the local Republicans an ad
mitted shock.
Two weeks ago when the state dele
gates from Maricopa County, compris
ing one-third of the State, were chosen,
they were solidly for Mr. Lowden, al
though uninstrueted. Yesterday, how
ever. Mr. Campbell made his announce
ment.
The statement of the former governor
came after a visit to Bisbce In the south
and Prescott In the north. He came to
Phoenix yesterday after his hasty survey
and to the Lowden wing delivered his
prediction.
