TIIE SUNDAY OREGOX1AN. PORTLAND. JUNE G. 1920 3 JOHNSON HIKKS ALL T HIS DELEGATES TRUE Vote on All Ballots Until Re leased Expected. WORD' IS HELD1 BINDING groups I Instructions GiTen hy People of States "Will Be Followed, De clares Californlan. CHICAGO. June 5. Senator Hiram Johnson announced today that he felt confidant that every delegate who came from a state that cast a preferential vote in his favor would vote for him not only on the first or first few ballots, but until he released him. .,, I have no fear that a man will violate his instructions given .by the people of his state. I fully expect delegates in a state that cast a preferential vote in my favor to vote for me," he said. When his attention was called to the situation in North Dakota where delegates reported favorable to Gen eral Wood were elected, but where Johnson, who was the only candidate running in the preference primary, carried the state. Senator Johnson stated that he fully expected to re i cive the North Dakota vote. Delegates Expected to "Stick." Asked whether he expected to hold all these delegates ifntil he released them, he answered decidedly in the af firmative. Reports were called to his attention that in several cases delegates who favored other candidates, but who were Instructed for him intended to vote for him on" one ballot and then switch. 'I see where I have been invited to become a vice-presidential nominee," Senator Johnson told the newspaper men. "This Is not the first time and it is peculiar that the men who make these invitations apparently think that I am unfit for the presidency. We are going right along with our fight for the presidency." Referring to a statement credited to Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, today that the presidential primaries were a failure, Senator Johnson said: Primary Heartily Kavored. "Where would I be in this race if it were not for the primary? I am heartily in favor of the primary. Is it right to say the people are fit to choose a president, but are not fit to choose a nominee? Some time later however, I intend to offer several recommendations relative to conduct ing primaries. These will be along lines making them more uniform and reducing the expense." Senator Johnson said he was by no means opposed to General Wood's idea of a single primary day for the entire country, but at the same did not Dcueve in is as vital as some other points. VILLAGE REST DISTURBED People Hear ot Wedding and Mold Noisy Celebration. NEW YORK, June 5. (Special.) Inhabitants of the little village of Roseland. Essex county, N. J., who sleep soundly, said they awakened this morning with a vague impression that war had broken loose during the night or prohibition had been called off un expectedly. Everything that could pro duce a noise, including shotguns, had produced it. They learned the cause was this: Preston Williams. 80, Ha oldest inhab itant, had married his daughter-in- law, Mrs. Alleen Williams, whose hus band, Frank, son of the octogenarian, died just 30 years ago. True, the wedding occurred May 17 last, but what matter? Roseland had just heard of it and the more wakeful half of the inhabitants were honoring the event. FRIENDS INJURE WOOD (Continued From First Page.) they may be the controlling influ ence in a nomination. No candidate. or his managers, can be blamed for trying to take ' them into camp that is to say, no candidate Is no more to blame than any other candi date. But the system is wrong now, as It was always wrong. No real effort has ever been made to change it. And it continues to be a quadriennial scan dal, a standing reproach to the good faith and right intent of the repub lican party. The corridors of the hotels and the lobby of the national committee headquarters continue to - be crowded with negro claimants and their "lily white" antagonists, whose highest aim is to gain recognition as the official heads of the republican party in their respective districts. ; Spectacle Is Indecent. It is an offensive and indecent spec tacle and it will not be ended until the party management addresses itself in earnest to the task of making the party in the south respectable and self-sustaining. I have said that the committee strove honestly to' ascertain the facts and to act accordingly, but it is also true that nothing has been done to prevent a recurrence of the many off color southern embroglios, except to issue a solemn warning to the "lily whites" that in future they must not exclude negroes from their primaries or conventions. The color question Is not to be set tled by political ultimata which are forgotten as soon as the convention adjourns and new hands take hold of the party machinery. Now as to Senator Moses, he in volved General Wood in new and needless embarrassment by his attack on the committee. He made It hard for the supporters of Wood on the committee to defend themselves be fore Wood or their fellow members. They did not try it; on the contrary, they excoriated Moses. General Wood himself felt obliged to. disclaim any purpose to blame the committee. The whole affair took the aspect of an unseemly quarrel between the Wood manager and the Wood committeemen which does not bode well for the gen eral's success next week. Certainly the effect will be to diminish the en thusiasm . of some of .them for the Wood cause. Convention la Leaderlesa. Senator Penrose will not come to the convention. The fact has been given a prominence which It does not deserve except Insofar as it illustrates a condition. Whatever else may be said about Penrose, he is a leader a leader of the old guard, if you please but yt a leader. With Penrose gone It will be a leadi'rtess convention, With Penrose her It may be doubted If the convention would follow him: but through him or some other of his power and prestige, issues as to the platform would h defined "and t lines between the various would be sharply drawn. It is not so much that Penrose himself will be missed as that the methods and practices which be rep resents will be to a great extent missing. He would supply something which has been present in every con vention in the history of the. repub lican party and every other party. You hear talk about the old guard and the new idea, but one would have a hard time in classifying either of them. You would mention Johnson no doubt as the embodiment of the progressive forces or what is left of them. But Johnson is not Roosevelt and does not stand in his shoes. He is tied hand and foot to the old Rimers of his delegation and he is just now no enemy of Penrose and what he stands for. Agreement la Scented. On the contrary, it is known, that there is some kind of an underground understanding between Johnson and Penrose and there is or was an ex pectancy that Johnson and1 Penrose would somehow at some time nexi week benefit by the Penrose presence and the Penrose facility for manipu lation and accommodation. Penrose would like to see Knox nominated and next to himself John son would like it, too. It is hinted that Johnson would even agree to go on the ticket as candidate for vice president with Knox as the nominee for the presidency, but there is only the slimmest chance that his sup posed willingness will be put to the test. I am not able to discover that the Johnson candidacy is growing or that the delegates, however much they may be disinclined to write on Wood or Lowden, are yielding to the impor tunities of his friends. What John son has he holds by slender ties; what he will get must be by a great tri umph, through sheer force of a strong personality or of a live issue, operat ing on uncertain and timorous minds. over forces which are normally hos tile to him and what he represents. Delegates Oppose Johnson. I have met more than one delegate instructed for him who says openly he is not for Johnson. It is so in North Dakota, in Indiana, in Oregon and doubtless elsewhere. It may be even so in California, though I do not at all assert it. But it is true that the Johnson-or-nobody spirit is not strong in the delegation. There has been something of a hullabaloo about California's demands, but the uproarious days of California against the world are gone. It is a comparatively meek, cub- missive and modest California. Its friends do not recognize it. Senator Poindexter is here and with him Jonathan Bourne, maker of senators and presidents. I do not think that Mr. Bourne or Mr. Poindexter is un der any illusions about the senator's dubious prospects. They are taking long chance, a favorite indoor sport of Mr. Bourne. They figure that when the convention has canvassed every other possibility or availability and failed to agree, it will turn to the Washington senator. In the word3 of the old song, it may be so, it may be so, but it sounds like a hazy dream. I would not write dis respectfully, indeed, of the Poindex ter proposal, for in truth the senator has conducted himself here with dig nity and decorum. He has unques tionably achieved a high place in the senate. Candidacy ever)beleaa Futile But all this does not lessen the weight of the facts about the futility of his candidacy. The convention is not thinking in terms of geography, perhaps, but It will think of it when it is called upon to consider Poindex ter of the remote Pacific northwest. Besides, it has enough to think about In Johnson of California, which is also some distance from the center of things. The Washington delega tion is determined to give Poindexter a fair show in response to the appeal to stay by him till the break cornes: So it will not leave him as soon as some have thought it would. The convention asembles on Tues day and it will probably be in ses sion all the week. Those hopeful souls who are nursing sundry dark horses in the stalls of their fancies are wisely predicting that the ses sions will be carried over until the next week. It will take four or five days, they say, for Wood, Johnson and Lowden to kill one another off, and then will come the opportunity for the grand coup for the waiting un known. Platform May Start Fight. The surest prospect of a long con vention, however, lies in an extended controversy over the platform. The senatorial engineers have kindly vol unteered to take that difficult task off the convention's hands and have brought an already-made affair from Washington, lacking only the finish ing touches of the many master hands which have been doing the job. Certainly the senatorial platform will speak well of the senate's actions in the league of nations and in the minor congressional disputes with the president. But there are other things to be said. The convention ' may take a notion to say them for itself. .) if XT ! " V ... Our Store Opens at 9 A. M. Mail orders receive our prompt and careful attention the same day as received.

Perfection in Eyeglasses qpTHE ANCIENT loom illu&trated CONVENTION IS CHIEFLESS Continued From First Pago.) are delegates uninstructed. without pledges and without personal prefer ence. They come In little groups from various states. They have been brought togther by a few of the old guard leaders, who have an under standing with each other and with the delegates whom they are bring ing together. The understanding is very loose and intangible. It is not in favor of any candidate and goes no farther than merely an assent to act as a group under a common leader ship. Unpledged Are Tio-vr United. As the opening day of the conven tion approaches, this group tends to grow in compactness and cohesive ness. It is increasingly reasonable to expect that this group will be able to exercise the balance of power. The fourth group of delegates con sists of about ?00, who are entirely individual in their leanings and who are acting independently. in this tug-of-war between Wood and Lowden the tendency will be for all to unite against Wood. .The whole convention will become, for a few ballots. Wood and anti-Wood. In this tug-of-war It is comparatively easy to foresee a time when Wood, with del egates that he has and delegates that he may get out of the fourth group, may reach as high as 400 or 430. It is possible, but not easy to see how he can get enough to nominate him if the balance or power group re mains steadfast a.-.atnst him. - If Wood is prevented from winning, the balance of power group will then decide whether to name Lowden or to substitute one of the dark horses in place of Lowden. If they regard their situation as dangerous, they will name Lowden and be done with It If they have sufficient confidence in their power, they will probably pick another. Even this tentative outline is so full of qualifications that one hesitates to set it down. To go far ther than this would be to deal wholly in the field of surmise.
