THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, MAT 21, 1920 MARSHALL S T Hopes for Nomination Are" Ex pressed in Speech. MR. WILSON- IS DEFIED Vice-President Holds Any in Party Has Tliglit to Vote Either l"or or Against lieag ne. OTt EGO N LAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 20. Thomas R. Marshall, tee-president, may now be consid ered an open and avowed candidate for the democratic nomination for president. His candidacy is one ot opposition to the president's attitude on the leag'ue of nations. This is the interpretation placed here on the address made by the ice-president at Indianapolis, whore he expressed the hope that the pres ident and the senate would seek to reconcile their differences. Lefiance to the president as ex pressed in the executive's Chamber lain telegram to U. E. Hamaker of Portland. Or., in which he sought to read out of the party anyone not agreeing with him on the leag-ue was clearly seen in the vice-president's statement: "Readlns Out" la Opposed. "I errant to no man the right to read me out of the democratic party nor say to me that I cannot stand upon its platform, advocate the elec tion of its candidates and vote for them myself. I, myself, will not say to any man that his views upon the league of nations inevitably place him without the democratic fold This was regarded as direct an swer to the president and aligned the ioe-preeident with those democratic se'nators who regard themselves as proscribed by the president s Oregon telegram. The vice-president has been toying with the thought of becoming a presi dential candidate, but it was not until within the last few days that he be' ' gan to take the situation seriously. How seriously he regards his possible candidacy was clearly indicated by the Indianapolis speech, notwith standing that he definitely deprecated , mention of himself in that connec ' tion. Candidacy Not Openly Admitted, The vice-president has undertaken to follow the rule set by other demo- erattc candidates, with the exception of Mitchell Palmer, of not openly ad mitting his candidacy, while enacting the part or a de (acto seeker for the office. The decision by Mr. Marshall to 'enter the lists was the result of de velopments which have been fast fol- , lowing one another in the democratic situation. The president's telegram to the Oregon democrats was the first step in this unfolding drama which has been quickly followed by others. . Indication of administration leaning 'toward Mr. McAdoo was followed by the sudden development of evident .strength on the part of Governor Cox of Ohio, which in turn has developed -unexpected strength among the anti- , Wilson factions of the party. . The result is a crazy-quilt patch work with so many contacting inter- ests running through the narrative that It is impossible to analyze them. ;The opposition to the president which - i finding expression among the strong delegations ot New York, Indiana and Illinois, finds itself in harmony with - some of the objects of William J. Bryan, while these same factions are ; utterly at variance with Mr. Bryan on . uie proniDition issue. ' Administration Leans to Bryan. I On the other hand the administra "tion forces are leaning towards Mr .Bryan in their efforts to overcome the . anti-league following and are equally at odds with him on his attitude to " wards the administration. Mr. Bryan finds himself in the happy position of oeing aDie to transact business with all factions opposed to himself and to engage in the happy pastime of throwing rocks at all of them. The president's Oregon telegram and ; the 'wet' issue are the two elements in the situation which are fast work ing havoc with the democratic plans ;- based on administration control of the convention. I Quick to take advantage of this.i Governor Cox has come forward with his heaviest battalions, chief among them being the advantage of choosing a candidate from Ohio. It is so well known that Governor Cox is a "wet" that it is believed it will be un necessary to put that embarrassing plank in the platform, the Ohioan's candidacy being sufficient to adver tise the party's attitude. Wilson' Lease Stand Upheld. At the same time Governor Cox has come out squarely in support of the president's position on the league, thus inviting administration support on the double ground of being a sup porter of the league and a personal opponent of any position that Mr. Bryan may take. At the same time Cox followers are quietly circulating the report that McAdoo and Bryan are flirting with each other in the hope that adminis tration supporters will take 'alarm and that the people may be IncUiced to forget the relationship that exists be tw'cen his son-in-law and himself. The Cox followers hope to take ad vantage of the support which is clustering about Governor Kdwards of New Jersey on the "wet" issue without being so openly identified with the issue and, with those ad vantages, plan to wear out the ad vantage which Mr. McAdoo will have on the first few ballots. Tt is the same situation which has given courage to the followers of Vice-President Marshall but from a different angle. That group also hopes to realize on the opposition to the president, but has absolutely no hope of gaining administration sup port in any contingency. . The vice-president has made him self objectionable to Mr. Bryan by insisting that the democratic party must not be placed in the position of endeavoring to nullify the prohibition laws and then seeks to take the curse oft this position with the "wets" by openly espousing the cause of Thomas Taggart of Indiana for Unfted States senator frbm that state. Excellent Support Indicated. The leaders of New York, Indiana and Illinois are expected to work to gether and with this nucleus the Mar shall candidacy will start with excel lent support unless conditions arise to disappoint them in their expectations. The vice-president clinched his op position to the position of the presi dent on the league and made his bid for the support of the proscribed sen ators by saying In his Indianapolis address: This wava, as I understand it, an American war. The peace should be an American peace. The war could ADVICE ON MEASURES. .

IXMAJfA COXVESTIOX SMOOTH Democrats Pat Woman on State Ticket for Firs Time. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 2.0. Al though several political precedents were broken, the business of the dem ocratic State convention moved with clock-like precision today. Keynote addresses of Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall and Claude G. Bowers of Fort Wayne had been heardk dele gates at large to the national con vention had been named, a platform adopted and a complete state ticket nominated when adjournment sine die was taken at 2:20 o'clock. For the first time in the history of Indiana, a woman. Miss A. Steele Baylor of Indianapolis, nominated for state superintendent of public in struction, received a place on the state ticket. Women took an im portant part. Mrs. Alice Foster Mc Culloch of Fort Wayne was named a member of Indiana's "big 'our" to San Francisco, and three other women were named alternate delegates at large. The name of Woodrow Wilson was cheered every time it was men tioned, and his administration was strongly indorsed. An attempt to stampede the con vention for an indorsement of" Vice President Marshall for the presiden tial nomination at San Francisco was checked by Mr. Marshall himself. "I tell you again, I do not seek the nomination for president," he said. The delegates at large to he national convention elected today were: Mf. Marshall, ex-United States Sen ator Thomas Taggart, ex-Governor S. M. Ralston and Mrs. McCulloch. Other nominations included: For United States senator, Thomas Taggart, French Lick. For governor.

Several hun dred daily and weekly newspapers were put out of business last year by the shortage of print paper.

' Colonel McCormick said the Trib une, of which he is the head, would co-operate with any group of paper mills in helping out publishers in dis tress. He said the Canadian govern ir.en had placed an embargo on the product of the Tribune mills in On tario and required delivery' thereof to Canadian newspapers at a price lower than the cost of production.

NEW TORK. May 20. The National Preservers' and Fruit Products asso ciation announced here today that Its members will stay out of the sugar market until the price of sugar comes down from its present high leveL The association says it represenjs 85 per cent of the manufacturers of the country who make Jams, jellies and preserves. "The so-called shortage of sugar does not exist." read a statement by Marcos Blakemore. president of the association, who has Investigated available supplies with the help of the department of justice and representa tives of the refining industry. "Pres ent prices represent pure inflation caused through hoarding by sugar speculators." Sugar Held Plentiful. He said that with the sugar that has already been received in thi country and the amounts contracted for and available on the Cuban market, an excess of more than 500, 000 tons over last year's total con sumption is in sight. It is the hope of the association, Mr. Blackmore said, to start a nation wide movement among manufacturers using sugar and also among the housewives of the country aimed at the present high prices. "If the housewives want to help they should begin by using up the small supplies of 26 to 100 pounds which most of - them have stored away," he said. "As soon as the dealers see that buying has ceased, prices will tumble and the enormous stocks now' stored in warehouses and freight cars will become available at reasonable figures. Foreign Invasion Noted. 'Foreign countries which never be fore shipped sugar to the United States are now invading the Ameri can market, content to deprive them selves of their normal supply in order to profit by the high prices this coun try is willing to pay." Mr. Blakemore said that other asso ciations of manufacturers using sugar largely were expected to support the preserve and jam makers in their stand against high prices. He said that the National Association of -Manufacturers of Fruit Products and Soda Water Flavors hod recommended that Its members make no contracts for sugar at present prices and the Candy Manufacturers' association was expected to take similar action during tneir convention next week in St. Paul. HIGH CASSED FRUIT.. SEEN Head ot Packing Concern; in Cali fornia Slakes Prediction. SAN FRANCISCO, May 30. The rising price of sugar is bound to increase the ' price of California canned fruits this year materially and to cut down the output, declared J. K. Armsby, president of the Cali fornia Packing corporation, one of the largest canning companies in California, today. Anyone wno says there is no shortage of sugar is talking through nis hat," ArmsDy said. ' The canners of California are buying in the open market today, as most of us were not able to make contracts for sugar. We are getting some sugar from Mexico and Java, but that is only a flea, bite In the general situation."

Address ing the first general secsion of the National Citiaens' Educational con ference last night. Commissioner of Education Claxton urged more liberal laws by state legislatures to meet the menacing shortage of teachers.

Contests for 122 of the 984 votes in the re publican convention at Chicago had been filed with Secretary Miller of the national committee when the pre liminary filing period expired today. More contests were expected before both the national committee and the convention's credentials committee, with possibility of decisive result on the nomination. Great piles of briefs already filed here indicated a monu mental task for the national com mittee when ' it - begins hearings on the contests at Chicago May 31, a week prior to the convention opening. About one-eighth of the convention votes are placed in dispute by the contests already filed. All but four of the 122 contests filed are from southern democratic states. The exceptions are . disputes over two delegates from the Minne sota tenth district and two from the District of Columbia where citizens are disenfranchised. Besides the contests. 47 surplus delegates have been chosen from nine states, with "fractional votes. The national committee will be called on to decide whether its rules against fractional voting delegations shall stand and the surplus delegates be denied 'Seats. Iron Whims "Only a whim?" "Why, my dear sir, my wife has a whim of iron." It is usual and masculine and expensive to assume that a feminine prejudice for or against something may be attained by argument. For years the desirability of double-tipped silk gloves was extolled to the women of our country by men. Then a woman advertisement writer, with great art, told her sisters how delightfully slender and patri cian their hands would appear in a certain silk glove. To wish aristocratic hands may be a whim, but if you sell to women and someone can capture their whims for your line, you will need no other alchemist.
