CAL’S SHADOW STIRS NEW WAR ON THIRD TERM La Follette Takes Step to Head Off Any Move for Coolidge Comeback. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent ■WASHINGTON, Feb. I.—Fearing some Republicans opposed to Herbert Hoover intend to offer President Coolidge the crown a third time, Senator Robert La Follette of Wisconsin presented an anti-third term resolution in the Senate yesterday and announced he would demand an early vote. La Follette acted on reports that Charles D. Hilles, New York national committeeman and vice chairman of the Republican national committee, is cooperating with Secretary Mellon to bring about the rcnomination of the President. Should Democrats cooperate with Republican insurgents, the La Follette resolution might be adopted. But it is uncertain whether Demo-, crats will become involved in an internal Republican matter. Booms Are Launched Most regular Republicans here have accepted the President’s two statements as final self-elimifiation, and have proceeded with othe* plans. Two regulars, Curtis of Kansas and Willis of Ohio, have launched forth as candidates themselves. Some have attached themselves to the Hoover movement. Others are for Lowden or Dawes. Most of these were ready to support Coolidge until he said he did not choose to run. Having burned their bridges behind them, it would be hard for some of them to retreat. Few Republicans here believe Mr. Coolidge would accept renomination and practically all long ago dismissed him from consideration. When he said last August he did not choose to run, many refused to accept this as final and continued to urge his renomination. But when he told the national committee last December that this statement, which he referred to as having eliminated himself, was final and must be respected, most Republicans, with regrets, accept the President at his word. Hilles Holds to Hope After due reflection, Hilles reappeared on the scene at a fathering of Republican leaders at Syracuse and started a “back-to-Coolidge movement. Undaunted. Hoover s New ’York friends grew bolder. Hilles saw his organization being torn apart. He called a conference of Republicans at Schenectady last Saturday and it was decided to work for an uninstructed delegation faVoW ,v,i e t 0 coolidge. Hoover’s friends agreed, to avoid a fight and per y make new enemies. Thus, out of the political difficulties of the New York national committee was born the movement which has so alarmed Senator La Follette. There was no indication at the White House today that President Coolidge, who is somewhat familiar with the practical difficulties of politics, was changing his plans.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

AL SMITH AND HOOVER READY FOR FIRSNILT Michigan Expected to Give Initial Test of Power of Candidates. By RAY TUCKER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON Feb. 1. The Michigan primary on April 2 may furnish the first battleground for Herbert Hoover and A1 Smith, the two leading candidates for the Republican and Democratic presidential nominations. Though the. Hoover strategists have not made definite plans for primary fights, it is expected they will stay out of the New Hampshire contest on March 13 and the North Dakota primary on March 29. Inasmuch as Frank O. Lowden is expected to make a fight for Michigan, the Hoover people may be forced to combat him. Entrance in this engagement would require filing of petitions March 2, and it may lead o formal announcement of the Hoover candidacy before that date William A.j Comstock of Detroit, Democratic national committeeman of Michigan, has Smith’s petitions drawn, signed and ready for submission, according to his friends here. While it is hardly expected that Smith will carry Michigan, the Democrats are banking on him to elect two and possibly four Congressmen in the wet city of Detroit. Two of the men they hope to displace are Earl C. Michener and Grant M. Hudson, extreme drys. Comstock has staked his continuance as national committeeman on Smith, and it is probable the New York Governor’s friends wi! not object to this early tryout. Associated with Comstock are Horatio J. Abbott, chairman of the Democratic State central committee, ancl Alfred Lucking, formerly attorney for Henry Ford. Michigan Republicans aligned with the two factions headed by Governor Fred W. Green and former Governor Aleck Groesbeck are supporting Hoover. So are Sen-

the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist, (adv.)

Ah, Men! By Times Special COLUMBUS. Ind., Feb. I. “Look not upon the wine when it is red,’’ intoned a minister as a radio set brought church services into the home of Emmett Dietrick here at the moment when police swarmed into the house on a liquor raid. Despite the dry admonition, the officers made a search, but no liquor was found. “The situation was rather embarrassing,’’ Police Chief George Chandler, who led the raid, commented. Police acted on telephone information that a “wild party’’ was in progress at the home.

ator Couzens and Henry Ford, together with the leading figures in the automotive industry'. It is predicted that Hoover could carry the State against Lowden. Hoover won the Democratic primary in 1920 receiving 24.000 votes. Lowden topped him in the G. O. P. fight, getting 62,000 votes to Hoover’s 52,000. The Hoover leaders are engaged in mapping their primary campaign, and after the Michigan affair it is probable the next fight will be in Hoover’s home State of California on May 1.
