8 THE 3IOIIXIXG OKEGONTAX, THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1920 SPROUL FAVORITE SOU OF OLD PENN Governor Is Overwhelmingly First Choice of State. 76 DELEGATES ARE ENVIED Rich Pickings Other Candidates Expect to Acquire After First Bal lot la Republican Convention. fCopvrlirM by The Son and New York Herald. Published by Arrangement.) KRW YORK, April 7. (Special.) Pennsylvania has a favorite son for the republican presidential nomina tionGovernor William C. Sproul. H is overwhelmingly the first choice or that state, according to a poll of the county chairmen. , , Major-General Leonard Wood Is the second choice. Sproul received 91.3 per cent of all the first-choice ballots cast, with Wood taking the remaining: 8.7 per cent. , On second choice Wood got 34 per cent, with Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois coming next with 23.2 per cent. Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio came next with 14.5. while 13 per cent of all the chairmen casting second choices voted for Senator Phil ander C. Knox, who might be called a "favored" son. Democrats of Pennsylvania also have a favorite son in the person of Attorney-General A. Mitchell Palmer. Eighty per cent of all the democratic chairmen in their returns indicated that Palmer was the choice of the democrats of their counties for first place honors on the democratic ticket. AicAdoo, Bryan, Wilson and Hoover each received one mention. Pennsylvania Has 76 Delegate. Pennsylvania will send 76 delegates. 12 of them at large, to the national convention in Chicago. This will be the largest delegation except the 88 of New York state. Naturally, all the political managers in ineir uum xwi delegates are looking with longing eyes on the riches in Pennsylvania. They do not understand that Governor Sproul is a serious candidate and be lieve the "pickings" for the other candidates will begin to materialize after the first ballot in Chicago. The delegates will be elected at a primary May 18. It is a presidential preference primary, the entrance to which may be obtained by filing a petition with only 100 signatures, rep resenting not less than ten counties. Entries for the preference and for candidates for delegates do not close until April 8. It is understood that the Wood. Lowden and Harding man agers do not intend to contest the preference with Governor SprouL their work being devoted to Intensive cultivation of delegates and makers of delegates with a view to convincing them that their particular man should be the residuary legatee of SprouL Penrose's He turn Awaited. Everybody In Pennsylvania, as well as in some other states, incidentally is waiting for Senator Boies Penrose to return from Palm Beach, hoping that then they will find out whom he will favor in the presidential race. His friends assert that he does not care for Wood at all. The guess is that he will finally land in the Harding or the Lowden camp. Morris L. Cooke, a consulting engi neer who has been identified with re form politics in Philadelphia, has formed an active Herbert Hoover club. He was director of public works in Mavor Blankenburg's cabinet, 1911 1915. A Hoover movement is also under way among the faculty and under graduates of the University of Penn sylvania. The Hoover people say they will enter his name for the presiden tial preference, but if he follows his precedent in other states he will not permit this. While Attorney-General Palmer, with Vance McCormick, former chair man of the democratic national com mittee, controls the machine of their party in Pennsylvania, they will not have entirely smooth sailing, it is reported. TIIOIBLE DEVELOPS WITH RE LIGIOUS OBSERVANCES. Io.lciiis and Christians I'airly Harmonious, but Ottomans and Jews Frequently Clash. CAIRO, April 7. While details of the clashes between Moslem and Jews in Jerusalem are withheld, indicating that a censorship has been imposed, it is pointed out that the Moslems now are celebrating the "MouEsa," the Jews the "Passover" and the Chris tians Easter. There 18 always risk of collisions during the processions incidental to these observances, of which there have been a number in former years. Travelers say that anti-Semitic feel ing has developed recently among Arabs, but that there has been no show of hostility between the Mos-x lems and Christians. When proces sions of Moslems and Christians met on April 2 not an unfriendly word was uttered, but bands of Moslems and Jews clashed the same day at the Jaffa gate, the Jews crying: "We won the country by the sword and will keep it by the sword." A melee ensued, but British sol diers calmed the trouble. There were subsequent disturbances, Jews being attacked Whenever met. GUMS SWEEP GERMANS (Continued From First Pago.) is even some anxiety regarding the probable course of the allied govern raents. Banking, financial and business cir cles are more outspoken. The opinion is freely expressed that intervention was untimely and detrimental to French interests. At the stock exchange today the belief was expressed that the French government fell into a trap cleverly laid by the German government to separate France from her allies by asking for Individual French author ization to enter the Ruhr district and putting it up to France alone to re fuse Germany permission to take mil ltary measures. The dollar rose today to the high est point ever known 15.36 and the pound sterling to 61.10. The Belgian franc even rose to 1.09. On the other hand French francs decreased on all markets. The German mark reached 25 cen times, a rise of five points since last Friday. BERLIN. April 6.

Move I-oild to Revolt. "We must, in the name of justice, reason and humanity," the German note says, "make the sharpest pro test against the action of the French army. It cannot possibly have been the purpose of the treaty of Versailles to prevent Germany from restoring order as quickly as possible in the part of its territory most seriously disturbed by bands of robbers. "The movement in the Ruhr region. If it had not been quickly opposed, would have shaken the republic to its foundations both politically and eco nomically. "Everywhere that the troops ar rived the movement quickly col lapsed." The note poins out that alleged vi olations of the treaty must, under the terms of that instrument, be redressed by all the signatories on the allied side and not by a single one, acting independently. Fear Declared Absurd. "The, idea that the dispatch of troops to the region could In any way involve a menace to France is so ab surd that it does not require to be refuted," the note continued, "and it may therefore be maintained with the fullest conviction on Germany's part that there is here no intentional vio lation of the peace treaty which could make the German government respon sible in the meaning of the peace treaty. Even if such a violation had hn committed the military act of vinlptira now committed by the French government would not be jus tified." The note further contends that un der the league of nations, wnicn la an integral part of the peace treaty, the attempt ought first to have been made to solve such u dispute by inter allied arbitration. Serious Results Forecast. 'The German government," contin ues trie note, "must poini uui wim special emphasis that the military co ercive measures taken by the Drenen government will necessarily have most serious consequences in ineir political and economic aspects. It is impossible for any government in Ger many to maintain order in this un happy country, which has been shaken again and again by deep convulsions. if at every step it meets wnu unjus tified suspicion on the part of Ger many's former enemies and is exposed continually to renewed miseries and disturbances of her economic jne. The German government naa wel comed the fact that the French gov ernment, too, had just recently ap peared ready to pave the way to an understanding, but how ' can those ideas, which are so important for the reconstruction of Europe, be convert ed into deeds if at the same time a French army marches into Germany and thereby causes tne deepest ex citement and bitterness amongst the German people? What the German nation neeas above all is quiet. Only then can the product of its labors so tar Improve that it can live to fulfill the hard con ditions of peace. Redress Is Promised. A proclamation addressed by the German government to the inhabitants of the towns occupied by the French was issued today. It says: "Less than 5 4,000 troops have been collected in the Ruhr district, or al most the exact number permitted by the agreement with the entente. France has regarded it as reconcilable with the state of peace to occupy flourishing German towns as a re prisal. The world's peace has never been more monstrously played witft than it nas been just now oy jranoi "It is that hard-hearted opponent which alone 's responsible for mak ing you the victim of this Shylock policy. The imperial government will do everything it can to shorten your period of suffering. It will not let Germany be shattered in this cun ningly devised fashion." A special session of the national assembly will be held Saturday. The call for the session was issued to day, following a conference between the heads or the political parties and the government.

(Spe cial. 3 One of the most notable gath erings of Masons ever held in eastern Oregon was the pilgrimage of Co lumbia eommandory of Kniyhts Tem plar of The Dalles on Sunday for Easter day services at Moro, Or. A special train of five cars chartered by trie commandery left The Dalles on Sunday at 1:15 P. M. for Moro. The commandery had extended an invita tion to all Masons of The Dalles and their families to accompany the Knights Templar on the trip. A party of Masons and t0oir wives and daugh ters joined the oarty at Wasco. The exercises in the opera-house at Moro were particularly impressive and inspiring. The sermon was de livered by Dr. J. C. Ghormley of Wasco, a prominent member of the Knights Templar. The address of the day wa3 delivered by E. G. Jones of Portland, who was present as the spe cial guest of Columbia commandery. The keynote of his talk was the spirit of American chivalry, and the practi cal exemplification of this spirit in all the teachings of Knights Templarism. J. H. Richmond, grand hign priest of the Royal Arch Masons of Oregon, and T. H. West, vice-president of Ladd & Tilton, Portland, and a high Mason, were present as honored In vited guests. Orf the return trip to The Dalles a stop was made at Wasco, where an elaborate banquet was served to near ly 600. The principal address of the evening was delivered by F. V. Gallo way, prosecuting attorney of Wasco county. J. H. Richmond and T. H. West. of Portland, as well as a num ber of prominent Masons of The Dalles and Wasco, also addressed the gathering, wnich was presided over by F. B. Ingalls of Dufur. The O.-W. R.

PEACE RESOUmON N Republican Leaders Decide to Bring Matter to Vote. POWER IS CHALLENGED Representative Flood In Making Minority Report Says Congress Is Wltliont Authority. WASHINGTON, April 7. Final de termination was reached today by re publican leaders In the house to bring to a vote In that body late Friday the resolution to declare the state of war with Germany at an end. A special rule reported today by the rules com mittee provides for six hours' debate Thursday and five hours Friday, after which, opponents of the resolution may offer, only a motion to recommit. Completion of the minority report of democratic members of the foreign affairs committee on the resolution precipitated the long debate. Repre sentative Flood of Virginia, ranking democrat 'of the committee, present ing the minority report, challenged the power of congress to bring the war legally to an end and character ized section five of the resolution as "an attempt to preserve something out of the wreck of American rights which have been so outrageously sur rendered in former sections of the resolution." RlKhis Held Impaired. "From whatever angle this resolu tion is viewed," he continued, "it pre sents itself as a proposition not only Ineffective in achieving its proclaimed purpose, but as a sure method of con fusing our foreign relations, inject ing new and complicated questions Into an already difficult situation and involving a surrender of American rights and an impairment of Ameri can prestige and honor." The minority report took particular exception to the statement in the res olutions' preamble that the president had informed congress the war was at an end. "At no time and under no circum stances has the president made any such assertion," the report said. "It is true that, on the signing of the armistice the president, in an address to congress, used the words 'the war thU3 comes to an end.' But he spoke of actual hostilities, as everyone knew, and not of the technical state of war. It takes a treaty to end a war. Authorities Are Cited. "The drafters of the resolution and the members of the committee on for eign affairs who voted for it knew that this was the case. By quoting this Statement of the president as the basis for this resolution the authors of the resolution lay themselves open to the charge of insincerity and sharp practice. "The supreme court recently' , de clared 'that what the president had done did not announce the. legal ter mination of the war,' " the report de clared, citing the decision In the Ken tucky Distilleries cases. Representative Flood asserted that sections of the resolution restricting trade with Germany or seeking to re peal wartime legislation were within the powers o congress but cited many authorities to sustain his con tention that "so far as it seeks to di rect the president to issue a proclam tion to the German government, it entrenches npon the treaty-making powers and is not within the power of congress." War Legislation Dlsennsrd. War legislation affected by the resolution discussed in the report said that such an enactment would give "no relief from the burdens, incon veniences, extravagances and losses which come from the existence of this legislation." . "Congress has power to repeal It and should address itself to this in stead of frittering away its time at tempting to pass unconstitutional leg islation for the purpose of embarrass ing the executive department of the government, or for some other polit ical purpose," the report said. Regarding the section of the reso lution requiring adherence by Ger many to certain clauses of the, treaty R FOR INDIGESTION There's something ahnrrt them vrwill lito--iC it t. WILSON EC DUE FR DAY eher Cw5! 6 Bell-ans 1 iy.vMsfL. Hot water jS!z2M Sure Relief sie: ll-ans TROY, N.V. makers of (hilars flirts of Versailles, the report declared: "It is astonishing that the congress should seriously consider the prop osition that our country should seek protection of a treaty which it has not the courage to ratify. In its at tempt it may. cause embarrassment to Declared Inconsistent. "Under the treaty Germany can be come a member of the league of na tions, and having under this resolu tion all the rights it would have had under the treaty when It became a member of the league of nations, it would be entitled to assert against the United States the same rights which any other nation would have been entitled to assert against this government had our country ratified the treaty. Thus we would be in the position of being compelled to protect the Independence and territorial in tegrity of Germany against the ag gressions of any or all our former al lies. We would thus be extending to Germany a protection and a right which the leaders of the senate have so violently proclaimed that we would never extend to any nation on the face of the earth. " We have refused to enter Into any such obligations with our allies, and yet by this resolution, we propose to give the benefits of those obligations to Germany.' " COLBY SAYINGS FLAUNTED (Continued From First Paee.) planned and coolly carried out. A large automobile carrying three picketers, who were Mary Galvin and Kathleen McCune of Philadelphia and Miss Kennedy of Brooklyn, parked in front of the state department prompt ly at 4 o'clock. Miss Mary Carroll, another occupant of the machine, rising In the front seat and posing like a captain giving orders from the bridge as his vessel clears for action, directed her little party of three to the work of the day. Miss Carroll instructed them to walk calmly up and down in front of the state department, but to offer no re slstence to any sort of attack upon them or their banners. "There must be no retaliation in case of attack." she told them, the object of this advice being that other wise they would be subject imme diately to arrest upon the grounds that their presence had created dis order. So long as they committed no offense, she advised, they could go about their business unmolested by the authorities. They were Btill picketing at a late hour and It was said at the state department that, so far as the department was con cerned there would be no Interfer ence. Srnsntt'in Is Crented. The language of the banners, how ever, created a rousing sensation be cause there were many interested in having Uncle Sam keep on good terms with his neighbors, who had over looked the mental outbreak of the present diplomatic chief of the United States against the British government such a short time r.go as 116. Some were amused while others read the banners with real concern, remarking that, certainly secretaries of state should be picked with great care. Perhaps no one will ever know what Secretary Colby, inside the big stone building was thinking, but no one expressed doubt that he must lave been wishing that he could think about something else and possibly was drawing a little lesson from what was going on outside which might be summed up in this moral: "If you are engaged in politics, do not commit yourself in too intense language on any strongly controversial question. because the time may come when your own words-will rise to embarrass a mind called to the duty of 'going wil lingly along.'
