THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE G, 1920 ALL MANAGERS JOIN Another Week of Price Reductions on Chesterfield Suits and Overcoats It was imperative that we advance the prices over last week's low price level. Still the reductions for the coming week afford the Clothes Buying Public an oppor tunity to buy good clothes mighty cheap, in view of the fact that we must pay 25 per cent more for clothing of equal value to replace stock sold.; Through buying at these prices now you will be able to save a. lot of money on the clothing you'll need now or for fall: We urge you for your welfare, buy now, you will thank us later. . .

VICTORY CHORUS Continued Prom "FirM Pas.) of the party's affairs and that some consideration must be given to the chieftains from the provinces. . The statement by George Beeck- man of Rhode Island that he was not sure whether he was going to "a re publican convention or a senatorial caucus" has been construed as a no tics from the governors and state leaders that they will demand to be heard. Judging- by their degree of pre-con-rention activity. Wood, Lowden and Johnson might properly be designated the "big three." On one proposition their managers are fully agreed. They all claim victory. They differ on how it Is to be achieved, or on what ballot It is to be, but they assure all in quirers there is no doubt about it. AH Manager Satisfied. Seventy-two hours before Senator Lodge's gavel drops in the big coli seum, a composite talking machine record of the expressions of the man agers would say: 'We are perfectly satisfied with the situation. The strength of our candidate is steadily increasing." The sentiment expressed on the etreet, presumably reflecting the views of the man up the tree, are as many and as varied as the number of candidates. One hears with the great est degree of finality, "Lowilen or a dark horse" and "Johnson after the third ballot," or "Wood after all the others have been eliminated." Convention time brings to Chicago a small army of political writers who feel that by analyzing the cross cur rents in the muddy and turbulent stream which swirls about the hotel lobbies and in and out of the inner coves of the campaign managers' offices, they can discern the course of the tides and predict with cer tainty to the folks back home what Is going to happen. Prediction Only Opinion. Any predictions at this time are (he results of analysis, deduction and opinion rather than information. It there is a single man in Chicago who knows what the republican national convention is going to do, he hasn't appeared with any proof of his knowl edge. One straw which would show the way the wind blows would be a cau cus of uninstructed delegates. About the only place in Chicago large enough in which to hold it is the Coliseum itself, and the indications are that the first caucus of uninstructed ones will be held there some day next week when, preliminary business hav ing been disposed of, the clerk be gins to call the roll.

They all gave the (.nine answer. It was 'There are some things going on under the surface, but they haven't been disclosed yet." ' And, according to the best indica tions. what has been going on had been an attempt to get all elements together on a harmonious platform and at the same time estimate the real strength and staying qualities of the various forces so that plans might be made accordingly. Monday and Tuesday and probably Wednesday will be exhibition days at convention hall. Organizations will have to be perfected and while the delegates are being entertained by the big brass band up in the balcony and by keynote speeches, and the best orators and entertainers the party has, the resolutions committee, work ing night and day at one of the hotels, will be striving to bring out the basis of an acceptable agreement and the i various whips will have their scouts out recording the preferences and leanings of the uninstructed dele gates. Drlejrarton Claim Conflict. They .will also be keeping a close ere on the instructed delegations to make sure they do not break away. In tome cases already the Johnson, Wood and Lowden force among themselves are claiming the same delegations. The adjournment that follows the second or third ballot probably will find the convention ready to go over the top, and noon of the next day will be the zero hour. That will be the time to be prepared for surprises. By then it is expected that the large delegations from the most ' populous states will have assessed the strength of the candidates, the sticking quality of their delegations, and be ready to come in with an agreement among themselves on some one of the candi dates' or possibly a dark horse, who can be put over. S-nrlrl Gather Momentum. Tonight while the boards of strat egy are poring over their plans and the fighting forces are undergoing last minute inspection, the convention swirl around the hotels and on the streets is gathering momentum. The delegates and visitors are -pouring in on every train. Equipped with the cheer leaders, song leaders and almost every other contrivance, human and otherwise, that Is likely to appeal to the emotions of 10,000 people, they hope at the psychological moment they will be the center of a winning wave. Old-time convention habitues wag their heads at the modern ideas that go nowadays with boosting a presi dential boom. There used to be spell binders, flag wavers and torchlight parades. Now there are brigades of ballad singers, piano players, rhyme sters, glad-handers. social service workers and any number of persons who might be found desirable under Webster's definition of factotum ex traordinary. Service Station Offered. A presidential candidate at this crnvention conies equipped with service station. Jf Mr. Delegate can't make a good job out of his butterfly boat, a pretty lady will deftly help him out . and probably vamp him a bit in the operation finishing up by putting a "some-body for president" button on his coat lapel. -The service department will help Mrs. Delegate find a good room or pick out a new hat it will do anything but give the real "low down" on who Is going to be nomi nated. In these days when everybody has something to ?ay about the high cost of living n observer at a convention ' U constrained iu ruminations on the high cost of being pleasant to dele gates. There are free automobiles for everybody, free advice, free in formation, free helps, tnere would probably be free drinks if congress and the eighte2nth amendment had not intervened and the candor and honesty which should characterize the efforts of a reporter forbid that this dispatch should give an impres sion that there are not some of these. About once an hour a shower of can ned interviews and statements comes cut of the headquarters o every candidate and if there is a paper shortage It doesn't exist in the con vention arena. Candidate Meet Reporter. But the candidates themt-elves re lieve the pregs agents by meeting the assembled newspaper correspondents twice a day, answering questions, and making statements first hand. With the arrival tomorrow of Sen ator Borah plans for the Johnson rally on Monday night will be com pleted. An overflow meeting prob ably will be held in the street, as there are more requests for tickets than there are seats in .the theater. A petition from Sanfield Ma"cDon- ald, a Johnson leader in Oregon, ask ing the national committee to unseat Wallace McCamant. one of Oregon's delegates, was received and filed without action. No credentials for a substitute delegate accompanied the petition, which declares that Mi'Cam ant "obtained his election by fraud" and "refuses to obey the mandate of the republican party, whose servant he is under the law." McCamant, following his election as delegate, announced that he would not vote for Senator Johnson, al though Johnson carried the Oregon preferential primary. McCamant I Quoted. MacDonald's petition quotes from a pre-election statement In which Mc Camant is alleged to have declared he would abide, by the result of the primary. Governor Lowden has recovered from the illness which confined him to his rooms. Today he advised his campaign managers he would remain in Chicago so long as his presence was needed. It is probable that he will not return to Springfield until the middle of the week or later. With the arrival of the Massa chusetts delegation tomorrow, head quarters for Governor Coolidge will be opened by James B. Reynolds, ex- secretary of the republican national committee. 'Governor Coolidge is not seeking the presidency," said Mr. Reynolds. He has said that be is not a candi date but his friends and . admirers everywhere have insisted upon work ing in his behalf. Governor Coolidge Is neither a dark horse candidate nor a compro mise candidate." Edward Randolph Wood of Phila delphia, who polled 250.000 votes in the Pennsylvania primary, in which he was the only candidate whose name appeared upon the republican ballot, announced today that Judge Albert Sames of Douglas, Ariz., would place him in nomination and that a delegate from Texas would second it. Although Mr. Wood carried the Penn sylvania primary, the delegation from the state declined to nominate him, and decided to cast its vote for Governor Sproul, who was not a contender in the primary. . John won Jfot to Leave. Senator Johnson announced that he had no intention of leaving Chicago during the convention. "I will be on hand every minute of the time and I hope to make my presence felt." said the senator. "I am growing happier and more hopeful with the passing of the hours. When asked concerning his Idea of the length of convention. Senator Johnson said: "I can see no obstacle that would prevent the finish by Saturday night. The only tight that I anticipate is on the platform and the only plank in the platform that there probably will be a fight on is that concerning the attitude of the convention, on the league of nations. I do not antici pate that that will last long." Iieagne Question Dodged. When asked if he would accept the nomination with a platform Indorsing the league of nations covenant with reservations. Senator Johnson said: ""I will cross that bridge when I come to it." ' , It - was explained to the senator that during his morning conference he was understood to have said, that he would accept the nomination on a platform containing the indorsement of the league of nations covenant, but with the Lodge reservations at tached. His answer was: VI will cross that bridge when I come to it." A platform plank pledging the party to a constitutional amendment limiting the president to one term of four or six years will be offered to the .resolutions committee by Gover nor Xowdcn. The plank prepared by the governor also proposes 'that cabi net officer who eeek the presidency must firsf resign from the cabinet. A president, the governor said to day, could accomplish more good in one four-year term, if he were not considering: political expediency and measures to win renomination. than In eight years under the present system. There would be no objection. he added, to an ex-president seeking a second term after being Out of office a term or longer, as there could be no suspicion that a political machine built up while-in office-was being used to perpetuate his admin istration. Single Term Held Desirable. A single term for the president was particularly desirable at this time, the governor said, for the reason that "the man elected this year, if he does his full duty, will have to- do things unpopular with the people in politics and others." Governor Lowden made no comment on Senator G. H. Moses charges that the republican national committee wa.R using a "steam roller" in his be half. General Wood expressed himself as being thoroughly satisfied with the situation. "We have a hard working, harmo nious staff and reports are good," he said. "I will stay here until Mon day night and then retire to a near but invisible spot," SEAT CONTESTS CLOSED fCorrtlnned From First Pare.) reorganization of the republican par ty in the "solid south." Despite the arguments or the negro contestants, the committee seated all the so-called regular or . organization delegates from both Texas and Vir ginia. The Wood forces won two more votes when the committee seated Roscoe Pickett and W. Y. Gilliam from the ninth Georgia district and rejected the contest of those indorsed by Henry Lincoln Johnson.. The com mittee's action left the Georgia dele gation with four delegates favoring Wood and 13 unpledged but regarded as supporters of Lowden. Women Defy mokf Cloud. Women sat in the deliberations of the republican national committee to day, taking part for the first' time In making convention decisions. They sat holding proxies of the national committeeman from their home states, Kansas, Missouri and Tennes see. Apparently taking a hearty interest in their new-found privilege, the women sat placidly in the clouds of tobacco smoke, closely following the arguments and voting in the deci sions. The probability that Wood leaders will carry several delegate contests to the credentials committee was an nounced by Major-General Leonard Wood today. "I do not know what contests will be appealed to the credentials com mittee." said General Wood. "But there probably will be a number of them." General Wood mid that there was no talk among the Wood forces of any coalition with the Johnson cam paign in any way. Asked whether he considered his statement last night as a repudiation of the statement of Senator Moses, General Wood said: "I am not repudiating anything. Senator Moses issued his statement and I issued mine. They stand as separate statements. Senator Moses Issued his statement for himself and I issued mine for myself, but I have not repudiated in connection with either statement." Johnson Boosters Reach Chicago. CHICAGO, June 5.

It is the outward sign of nervousness, neurasthenia, perhaps, with its characteristic symptoms of worry, headache and sleeplessness. Overwork, grief, undue excitement, the late hours and nervous strain of a strenuous social season, lack of out-of-door exercise, any or all of these may be responsible for the trouble, but the most common cause at this season of the year is the grip. Whatever the cause, if you feel the need of more strength try the great non-alcoholic tonic. Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
