THE 3I0RNIXG OREGONIAX, AVEDXESDAT, MARCH 24, 1020 : "1 - ' t '1 t 4 't C IE Fi li MASSACHUSETTS Governor Developing Great Strength as Candidate. WOOD IS SECOND CHOICE It.norts Indicate Cost of Living and Conduct of Liabor Unions Are Paramount Issues. 1 1 i i -.1 ir..vri.i.i h tha Sun and New Tork .irid. Published by arrangement.) vkw YORK. March 23. (Special.) The commonwealth of Massachu setts wants Governor Calvin Coolidge .e the renublican candidate for presi dent of the United States. There is no doubt of the popularity of the chief executive, who raised the slogan of law and order." Major-General Leonard Wood is the ,nnri choice of that state ior me head of the national ticket. These facts are brought out clearly In the poll of the chairmen of the local party organizations in the state conducted bv the Sun and .ew YorK Herald. Instead of county chairmen the party organization is by local town and city groups. Because of this fact the returns received from Massa chusetts represent a much larger group of leaders than in states where the county is the unit. In Massachusetts prohibition stands out in bold relief as a candidate to be one of the leading issues, if not the paramount Issue of the campaiprn. Defendants of those who founded the commonwealth while in search of per sonal liberty are thinking much of the restrictions imposed by the 18th amendment, as indicated in the replies of the leaders. "There is a large class of our voters. wrote one. "consiaennB neither republican nor democratic candidates, but will rote for the man w ho declares himself on a 4wet plat . "form. I find this sentiment growing " every day. and I have heard Governor Kdwards' name mentioned a good ' d.al." Another chairman declared that he had never oted for license for ' open saloon, but he believed the fed ( eral prohibition amendment went cn ! tirelv too far. and that was the opin- inn of the people of his county. Democrat IMscimit Hoover. . According to the reports of the re publican leader, Herbert Hoover Is more discussed by the democrats as their presidential candidate than any other possibility. This is the first state in which this has been true. Governor Kdwards also received fre quent mention, with Attorney-General I'almer. William O. McAdoo and Pres ident Wilson having slight mention. There Is a disposition on the part of Massachusetts democrats to give Sen ator David I. Walsh a complimentary vote in San Francisco, but his "boom" does not go beyond that. The "5 delegates whom Massachu setts will send to the republican na tional convention will be elected by the people at a primary on April 7. There is no direct presidential prefer ence stated by the voters, but the candidates for convention delegates may run "pledged," "unpledged" or merely have the notation opposite their name on the ballot "favorable" to such and such a candidate for pres ident. The "Big Four" slate agreed upon fcv the organization consists of Sena tor Henry Cabot Lodge, former Sena tor Murray Crane, Speaker F. H. Gil lett of the house of representatives and former chairman Thurston of the state committee. They are running unpledged. Former Governor Samuel W. McCall, running insurgent and un pledged, may crowd out Mr. Thurston, it is believed. Former Lieutenant-Governor Louis TV. Frothingham. Representative A. T. Fuller and Russell A. Wood, all pledged to Wood, are candidates for places on the "Big Four." Although it is known definitely that Mr. Crane is not for Wood and the views of Senator Lodge and two others on the organization slate have not been made public, the Wood managers have taken the attitude that they will rot openly oppose them by aiding the candidacy of the men openly pledged for the general. This policy has borne pood fruit in that it created friends for Wood among the organization men, it M reported. About the same attitude has been taken in the congress district fights, but the sentiment Is such that Repre sentative W. W.

There was also some sentiment displayed for Governor Frank -O. Lowden for first choice. Coolidge General Favorite. But for the fact that Governor CooliAge has announced that he is not a candidate for the nomination, he would probably have received an almost unanimous vote for "first choice," as indicated by the replies. Fifty per cent of the leaders named Wood as their second choice, with Lowden next with 10 per cent. The remaining "second choices" were scattered among Coolidge, Senator James K. Watson of Indiana, Senator Hiram W. Johnson, Former President William Howard Taft. Charles E. Hughes and Senator Miles Poindex ter. In two cases the names of Hughes and Wood were bracketed for second choice. Lowden was put in as a third choice by several of the lead ers. Further evidence of the accuracy and sincerity of the reports received on the questions asked by the Sun and New York Herald was given by sev eral of the chairmen, who distinctly stated that their own personal choice was different from that reported by them for their communities. "Our first choice is Coolidge." said one city leader, "this being on account of the fact that he is a native of this state. Since Governor Coolidge issued his statement he has lost considerable support locally. As for our second choice, there seems to be an equal division between Hughes and Wood. The more conservative people favor ing Hughes, while the younger ele ment and those who supported Roose velt and the American Legion are strong for Wood. I have tried to give you the sentiment of the people here. As for myself, I prefer Lowden." Another leader voting for Coolidge and Wood declared that his personal preference was for Lowden. The "high cost of living" is consid ered most seriously as a paramount issue in many of the communities, ac cording to the reports. Naturally the league of nations figures in their minds as a most important issue, but most of the republican leaders have so much confidence in Senator Lodge that they are leaving that to him. Running through all the replies on the question of issues was the thought f 1 . 1. . .. ; : ' about high prices and trouble between capital and labor. "A square deal for the unorganized public." was the way one man phrased what was in the minds of the republicans in his com munity. Protective Tariff In looming. As was natural in a manufacturing state like Massachusetts, a protective tariff seemed to bulk larger in the thoughts of its people than those of other states so far. These replies: "Righting the demo cratic blunders of seven years" and "democratic maladministration and extravagance" indicated that the re publicans in Massachusetts are not entirely unmindful of the vulnerabil ity of the Wilson administration. And it may be of interest to con sider what the verdict of the repub lican leaders there fs on the demo cratic party. Here are a few of the replies to the question as to who seemed to be the leading democratic candidate for president in their com munities: "No such animal." "There ain't no such pusson. Seri ously, it is too mixed up to tell at this writing. "There doesn't seem to be any democratic candidate. Party seems to be in the depth of despond." "Democrats are on the toboggan in Massachusetts. No candidate in sight." Think they mean to vote repub lican." "Hope they don't have any." "Cannot answer. From what I hear don't think "there will be many- democrats." Don't seem to be looking for demo crats this year. Reports from the special corre spondents of the Sun and New York Herald say that there is scarcely any serious thought in republican circles in Massachusetts in regard to any presidential possibilities other than Coolidge and Wood. Johnson, Lowden and Hoover have their admirers, but there is not enough sentiment for any one of them to crystallize into action. They want Coolidge, but if they can not have him they admire what they consider the courageous thought and action of Wood. ACTION HELD AHACK ON CHURCH BY-LAWS Counsel for Christian Scien tist Faction Protests. INTERVENOR IS OPPOSED Court Defers Decision, in Litigation Between Directors and Pub lishing; Society. BOSTON, March 23. The supreme court today heard arguments on the request of Mrs. Emilie B. Hulen of New York for the right to Intervene in the litigation to which the direct ors of the Christian Science church and the trustees of the Christian Sci ence Publishing society are the prin cipal parties. Mrs, Hulen brought the petition as one of the first members of the church. These first members were described by Charles F. Choate Jr. her counsel, as a body which origi nally had certain authority and func tions that were later transferred to the directors. It was his contention that the report of the master in the suit between directors and trustees had shown that the directors had no standing and therefore it had become necessary to have the first members come in to protect the rights of the church. Edwin A. Krauthoff of Washington, a first member, appeared In opposi tion to the petition. Mr. Krauthoff argued that the first members were abolished by a bylaw in 1901. which was approved by Mrs. Eddy and that the attempt to inter vene was an attack on the bylaws of the church, the first he knew of in the church's history. The motion to intervene, he said, was in fact an at tempt to have the case tried again. Mr. Krauthoff said the master's re port had not ruled that the directors had no authority. Former Governor John L. Bates, counsel for the directors, announced that they took a neutral attitude on J the petition, but reserved the right to define their position if necessary. Judge De Courcey announced that he would make no decision until coun sel for the trustees had had an op portunity to file affidavits. Portland people say:- HEY have done it again!"

ROAD CONTRACT IS LET Five Miles of Concrete lo Join AVin- lock to Highway. CHEHALIS, Wash., March 23. (Special.) Alired, James & Hendricks were yesterday awarded the contract to build the five miles of concrete road that will connect Winlock. in southern Lewis county, with the Pa cific highway at Cowlitz store.
