BY CARTER FIELD.
(Political Correspondent New York 'Trib
une. Published by ; Arrangement. )
CHICAGO. Jan. 26. Illinois seems
to be about the least doubtful state
in the union. At the republican na
. tional convention, beyond the shadow
of a doubt, she will cast her 54 votes
for her favorite son. Governor Frank
O. Lowden. At the San Francisco
convention, unless there is some re
, markable and unexpected change in
the situation, her 54 . delegates will
vote for Attorney-General A Mitchell
Talnier. And her 27 electoral votes,
unless there is a political landslide
between now and November, will be
cast for whoever the republicans nom
inate. Illinois seems to be intensely proud
of Governor Lowden. Politicians and
business men of both parties alike
sing his praises. The Democrats, ap
parently, can advance no.re,as,on why
the republicans should not nominate
him, except' that ' the' ' republicans
would thereby be-passing up an op
portunity to capture some doubtful
state by nominating- its favorite 'Son,
whereas "anybody can carry Illinois
' on the Republican ticket." This last
- statement was. made, to me by one of
the most prominent Democrats in the
state. "
Democrats Like Lowtfrn.
. With a wonderfully enthusiastic
organization covering Illinois, the
Lowden people are reaching out into
the surrounding states, particularly
Michigan, Iowa and South Dakota.
They are keeping hands off in Wis
consin, due to the La Follette situa
tion, and in North Dakota, due to the
non-partisan .league situation. The
Lowden women are organized under
Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns, who has
charge of their activities in the na
tional fight
Perhaps the best illustration of how
the democrats in Illinois feel toward
Governor Lowden is the fact that the
democratic state convention in 191S
adopted a plank in its platform prais
ing Lowden tor nis record as a war
governor. The significance of this is
enhanced by the fact that the plank
was sponsored by Roger C. Sullivan.
whose domination of the democratic
party In Illinois Is unquestioned. -One
of Mr. Sullivan's bitterest opponents
In the "party, however, in a confi
dential conversation today indorsed
that plank in the democratic platform
and praised Governor Lowden with
out stint.
In view of the strength of General
XT- -I nhan CJ n 11 u nrltll frtT TT1 f T
Roosevelt men, the Lowden . people
"point with pride to the fact that such
men as Harold L. Ickes of Chicago.
who was chairman of the progressive
convention: Frank H. Funk, progres
'give candidate for" governor-in 1912
Senator Medill McCormlck and George
H. Porter of Chicago, close personal
friends of President Roosevelt, are
dninz- all thev can for Lowden.
There is admittedly a great deal of
"Wood sentiment in the state, and the
Wood neorjle are confident the dele
gation will ' have at least a liberal
sprinkling of men who will jump to
Wood if it should develop that Low
den cannot be nominated. This may
or may not be true, but it is very
obvious that Wood has not Inherited
the Roosevelt following In Illinois to
anything like the extent that he has

Lowden to Win Primary.
Illinois has a preferential primary
on May 10. It is not definitely settled
yet whether General wood wui db
entered. That will probably be deter
mined bv events in the meantime.
Howver, the primary Is not binding in
v Its effect oh the delegates. The state
convention instructs the delegates
from the districts, who are elected by
the people and the convention also
selects the "big four." There is no
doubt whatever that -the Lowden peo
pie will be in full conrol, nor, for that
matter, thit Lowden will win me pn
marv If anv other candidate .enters
to contest it with him.
The Wood people here are very op
timistic, despite their being surround
ed bv favorite son enthusiasm. They
point to the fact that six western
governors have already come out for
Wood: Burnquist, Minnesota: or
beck. South Dakota; Allen, Kansas:
Shoup, Colorado; Campbell, Arizona,
and Larrazola, New Mexico. They are
very much cheered, also, with regard
to the Iowa situation, a report having
come -in that Governor Harding of
that state is for Wood. The Lowden
people are very confident that Gov
ernor Harding is for their man.
James J. McGraw. national commit
teeman . from Oklahoma,", will arrive
in a few days to take charge of Wood
headquarters here, with Fred Stanley,
' national committeeman from Kansas,
as his lieutenant.
The hotels here give the impression
that the convention might be next
week Instead of on June 8. The Low
den people have suites 'at both the
Congress and Auditorium, the Wood
' peopTe have nearly one whole side of
a corridor at the Congress. Coolidge
headquarters will be opened In a few
days, and both national committees
have headquarters.
Sullivan for Palmer.
boast that Chicago is the sixth Ger
man city in the world Is recalled.
Ex-Senator James Hamilton Lewis
has told friends that he would not be
surprised to see the democratic con
vention pass over Palmer for the rea
son just stated, pass over McAdoo be
cause of dissatisfaction with him on
account of the railroad administration
aftermath, which includes dissatisfac
tion on the part of the brotherhoods
because their differential of pay was
not maintained as against the-other
railroad workers; pass over Hoover
because-of political vulnerability, as
to residence, and filially Uecide on
Champ Clark or Governor Cpx of Ohio.
Clark, he suggested, as possible be
cause ther could gather to him all
that-opposed the president, while ad
mlrers of the president could be for
him on the ground that he would carry
out Mr. Wilson's policies. Governor
Cox,' In this line of thought, . might
be selected by the convention because
of the supreme necessity of the demo
crats carrying Ohio.
Some Wilaon Talk.
Senator Lewis has surprised his
friends also by declaring that it may
be the logical thing at the time of the
oaventlon to renominate President
Wilson, especially if there should be
continuance of the wars in Europe,
or they should grow yorse.
However, it may te taken lor
granted that unless something entirely
unforeseen occurs, these thoughts will
not affect the Illinois delegation to
the democratic convention. It will
be for Palmer, unjess Roger Sullivan
sees a great light of some sort in the
meantime, and Mr. Sullivan is very
seldom dazzled. -
It should be. recalled that although
Sullivan had much to do with the
nomination of Wilson in Baltimore -in
1912, throwing the Illinois delegation
to him at the psychological moment.
President Wilson neveT manifested any
gratitude. When the time came -to
distribute the plums if was Senator
Lewis, ex-Mayor Carter Harrison, and
others,-who. had spent most of iheif
political lives fighting the .Dig reiiow
whose recommendations as to federal
patronage were heeded at the Whine
House. Then William Jennings Bryan,
Wilson's cabinet premier at the time,
actually stumped Illinois against Sul
livan, when the Illinois boss ran for
Senator in 1914. A strong adminis
tration senator, Owen, of Oklahoma,
Joined Mr. Bryan in stumping against
Sullivan. .
Vice-Presidential Outlook. '
But when Mr. Palmer became a fac
tor In the administration all this was
changed. Mr. Sullivan's desires' were.
no longer ruthlessly ignored. Since
which time the democratic organiza
tion in Cook county has rather come
to the conclusion that this man Pal
mer is one of keen perceptions and
altogether of presidential caliber.
A discussion of the Illinois situation
would not be complete without a ref
erence to the vice-presidential boom
of ex-Senator Lewis. Harmony among
the formerly discordant democratic
elements has apparently . been
achieved and the Cook county or
ganization can use Lewis. The former
senator has a tremendous personal
following of highly independent
voters, especially In Chicago. He car
ried Cook, cbunty by a big majority in
between two sweeps of the city of
Chicago by Mayor Thompson on the
republican ticket. Therefore the
democratic organization is anxious
that'every bit of Lewis strength pos
sible shall be contributed to the local
Cook county ticket next fall. Even
if Illinois goes republican and the
national candidates go down to de
feat, the Lewis strength might aid
considerably in putting over the Cook
county ticket.
Hence it Is not at all unlikely that
the Illinois delegation at San -Fran
cisco, headed and controlled by Roger
Sullivan, Lewis' foe of years', stand- I
lng, may do its utmost to get Lewis
nominated for vice-president.

On the Democratic side it is con-,
reded by friends of the other candi
dates, although thus far 'no demo-,
cratic candidate has developed any en
thusiastic support here, that Roger
Sullivan will take the delegation .Jo
San Francisco for A. Mitchell Palmer.
Mr. Sullivan has made no secret of
his frienlship and admiration of the
attorney-general. He Is said not to
be particularly friendly to McAdoo,
although he has commented to friends
that Palmer and McAdoo have more
admirers than any other candidates
mentioned so far for the presidency.
He is known to be against the nomi
nation of Herbert C. Hoover. So every
one here assumes that the Illinois
delegation will vote solidly ' for
Palmer until he is nominated or it is
conceded that he has no chance for
the nomination.
Friends of the attorney general do
not think that his injunctions against
the coal strikers will hurt him much,
despite the large number of coal
miners in Illinois. Despite the large
foreign population of the state, and
particularly of Chicago, they do not
think his pressure for sedition bills
will hurt him. On the other hand,
there are prominent Democrats, but
who probably will have little to do
with naming the delegates, who think
both these things would make it dif
ficult for Palmer to carry any state
in - the middle western group, as-

number of terrorists will begin Hon

his freedom had been guaranteed him
by the British and Americans last

Vienna and help to overthrow Bela
Kun. He did so, Jbut was arrested in
November.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3. The time

Britain should combine to rid them

Graham, chairman of the British food
mission to the United States, told the
special convention of the Institute
of American Meat Packers here today.
Great .Britain was importing: from
America 8000 to 10,000 tons of food
products weekly, but unless some way
can be found of correcting the foreign
exchange situation, there will be a
sharp curtailment of British buying
in American markets, he held.

vvAamAUTUN, -eb. 3. The war
department's attitude toward the sale
of forme'r tJerman passenger liners
used as transports during and after
the war is that they should be oper
ated under the - American flag, and
that their purchasers should' agree to
re-deliver them to'he government in
the event, of a national emergency.
This was explained tq the Benate
commerce committee ' by Brigadier
General Hines, chief of the army
transport service, who said the army
had m.illlons of dollars worth, of
equipment in storage for use in re
fitting them as transports should the
need arise. ''.'
General Hines ,told the. committee
that 12 of the 19 liners taken over by
the War, department had been re-,
turned to the board and that the oth-
ers would jbe released as rapidly as
the' new sarmy transports -now- build
ing at Hog Island could be delivered.
Urging legislation to -permit the
transportation :of commercial freight
and passengers, pn" army transports
when space is available, and Amer
ican commercial vessels are not avail
able. General- Hines aid1 .that the
"soviet ark" Buford, which carried 249
radical aliens to Hango, Finland, last
month, had been offered a return
cargo of wood pulp In- that country.
Although the material : was. badly
needed in this country, she was unable-
to accept it because of lack at
statutory authorization. General Hines
added that a great deal of business
would develop in the Pacific and on
the Panama canal route if transports
were allowed to handle it.
