VY, APRIL 1920 HARDING LEADS ALL IN HIS OWN STATE TITJ3 1IORMXG OHECOXTAX, The Finest Hand Workmanship Ever Put Into Ready-for-Service Clothes for Men There is hand workmanship and hand workmanship, just as there are sign painters and scene painters. The mere physical operation of doing a thing by hand means nothing how it is done means everything. We have ripped Hickey-Freeman clothes and other hand - tailored clothes apart for comparison and there is none! In our judgment there are no men's clothes in America today in which the art of fine hand-tailoring reaches such a high pitch of excellence as it does in HICKEY-FREEMAN CLOTHES. I urge you to see their spring models I will Hot urge you to buy them I won't have to ! Sold in Portland only at my store. As we said before, the early bird gets the best pickin' and the pickin' begins daily at 11 A. M. Poll Indicates Support Is Al most Unanimous. WOOD IS SECOND CHOICE Other Republicans Seem to Figure f "f . in but Small Way in State Is Democrats Choice. ox J : 54 Copyrisht, 1020. by the Sun and New Tork (Herald. Published by arrangement.) NEW YORK, April 6. Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio seems to be a "blown in the bottle" favorite son ot that state for the republican nom ination for president. In the poll of the county chairmen taken by the Sun and New York. Herald he is the first choice by an almost unanimous vote, getting 92.8 per cent of all the first choice ballots cast, to 5.3 per cent for Major-General Leonard Wood and a little over 1.7 per cent for Gov ernor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. The second choice of Ohio is Gen eral Wood, who, in addition to his first choice votes, was named as sec ond choice on 33 per cent of the bal lots returned. Forty-six per cent of the county chairmen declared that Hardin? was not only their first but also their second choice or else they failed to indicate a eecond choice. None of the other republican pos sibilities seem to figure to any great extent in Ohio. Lowden was named as eecond on 11.6 per cent of the re turns, with Senator Hiram W. John son, Charles K. Hughes and Governor Calvin Coolidge receiving a few eec ond choice mentions. Cox Choice of Democrats. Ohio also has a favorite ton on the democratic side of the fence. Gover nor James M. Cox, who is -receiving virtually the united Support of the members of his party there, accord ing to reports of the republican chair men. ' The league of nations is to be the burning issue of the campaign, as re ported, with democratic mismanage ment and inefficiency, Americanism and the labor situation well up in the front of public thought. One man indicated that prohibition might be a red hot issue in Ohio if the demo crats should inject it into the cam paign. The 48 delegates that Ohio will send to the Chicago convention are to be selected at a presidential pref erence primary to be held on April 27. At present there is a sizzling campaign in progress between the Wood forces, who have bearded the Harding lion in his den, in a supreme effort to capture at least a part of the delegation from the state that has been considered pivotal in re publican national struggles for years. Prior to the primaries General Wood, as well as Senator Harding, will make extensive campaign tours. Senator Hiram W. Johnson, who has been named as the second choice of some of the Harding candidates, will also tour the state, supported by Senator William E. Borah of Idaho. They are expected to attack Wood on the ground of lavish campaign expenditures. Harding and Wood are the only candidates on the republican prefer ential ballot. No one is contesting with Governor Cox for the demo cratic preference. Primary Law Peculiar. Ohio has a peculiar primary law. It requires that all candidates for delegates must file a statement glv ing not only their first choice for president, but their second choice as well. As the presidential candidate himself must indorse the candidacy of all candidates pledged to vote for him first, it practically puts his O. K. on the second choice. Ohio is the home of William C. Procter, the pugnacious head of the Wood movement, who insisted upon making a fight against Harding. At first he asked Harding to make Wood his eecond choice. When this was de niod he put up a set of "pledged to 3s oI.;oXoo;,:ofoVo"oMoKoWo: X Percy Grainger Here in concert, makes rolls only for the DUO ART Mr. Grainger, with the Marvelous DUO ART, will play for you any time in your own home.

There the Harding candidates named Wood as their sec ond choice, filing statements that they would support in the conven tion whoever received the preferen tial vote in the primary. The outcome of the primaries in Ohio is being eagerly watched by managers for all candidates and by leaders throughout the country. The superhuman effort of Wood to break into the strong favorite son senti ment there is considered by many to be a bold stroke on which much is staked. If he fhould win a considerable number of delegates it would be of incalculable value in other state con tests. If he should lose it would in- evitably have a bad reaction.

Delay of Nine Months and Hamper ing of Work Alleged by Contractor in Suit. Damages of $129,398.96 are demanded of Twohy Bros., contractors, and the O.-W. R. & N. Co. in a suit filed in the circuit court yesterday afternoon by Alexander Pearson, who held con tracts for construction of grade cross ings over railroad tracks on the east sidt in Portland. Nine months' delay in work, an in creased cost of earth and gravel from 16 cents a cubic yard to 45 cents and piecemeal construction work were caused by the alleged trespass of Twohy Bros, during the work on the East Sixtieth street crossing in viola tion of contract agreements, it is asserted, as basis for the heavy claim. Contracts for . nine viaducts over O.-W. R. & tracks were let by the city of Portland on March 9, 1917, to Pearson. The railroad company in the meantime had employed Towhy Bros, to attend to the rcgrading necessary under the terms of an agreement with the city.

It is asserted, to be done subsequent to the construction work by Pearson. Before the plaintiff could Tinish the removal of the water main at East Sixtieth street it Is alleged that Twohy Bros, brought dirt trains and steam shovels to excavate along the roadway "in violation of plans and specifications and contractors' rights." Dirt, sand and gravel were loaded on flat cars by the defendant and hauled to Mock's Bottom to be used in filling in and constructing a road bed for the O.-W. n. & N. Pearson asserts that he was compelled to haul earth and rock from the Columbia river bottom on cars, at a cost of 45 cents a cubic yard. Lack of available earth caused numerous postponements, piecemeal construction and a delay which lengthened into nine months at con siderable cost to the contractor.
