. TOPE K A. Kan.. Feb. 8. Kansas i
I what might be called the original
Wood state. The general is is sure
of (rettiiiK 20 votes of her delegation
t the riubliean national convention
as any thing -in politics reasonably can
be. It was right in Kansas, at Camp
I-'.uiistoii. that Wood trained the boys
ot Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.
He took them down to New York, un
der his command, on the way to
France. Kansas folks have not got
over their feeling of resentment
aKainst President Wilson for prac
tically taking the general off the
transport instead of letting him lead
their sons in France.
Also the people out here had a
"close-up" of the conscientious objec
tors, many of whom were sent to
Leavenworth prison. They have not
got over their indignation, especially
the mothers and fathers of the boys
who suffered in France for their coun
try, at the kindly, lenient treatment
afforded the objectors. One of the
little things which rankles worst and
causes the most feeling against the
war department is that these objec
tors, when they .were- turned loosa
were given new suits of clothes.
HooNCVClt KolloiviUK Inherited.
Kansas was a tremendously strong
Roosevelt Mate and Wood seems to
have fallen heir to the sentiment for
the colonel, and in addition many of
the old anti-Koosevelt men are sup
porting him warmly. For instance,
Uavid Mulvane of Topeka. who in
1912 was a strong Taft man and who
has never been entirely forgiven for
his activities against the colonel at
that time, is in harness working for
Wood.
While there is considerable mild
- sentiment for Governor Lowden 61
Illinois and a little vociferous agita
tion for Senator Hiram Johnson of
California, the state looks rather well
"sewed up" for Wood. In addition.
Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas,
is supporting Wood vigorously, as is
practically the entire state organization.
Governor Mien has been seriously
considered for president himself, but
he has conic out flat for Wood, aifjl
the probability is kiiat William Allen
'White, who first began a vigorous
Allen boom, will swing eventually
into line.
So there is really not much of a
fight in Kansas, as the situation looks
now. Of course, it Js within the range
of possibility that Johnson may de
velop the same kind of strength
among the farmers of Kansas that he
is demonstrating in the next state to
the north. Nebraska, where it would
surprise no . one very mum li ne
Should win the delegation. The Wood
movement in Kansas, however, Is' be
ing backed so solidly by the organiza
tion, from the governor down, and is
suffering so little from competition
that the Kansas delegation is re
garded by most observers as being in
Wood's hat.
. There is no such disturbing element,
for instance, as the Pershing boom in
Nebraska, nor that the governor, as
in Nebraska, is for Lowden, nor that
bitterness has arisen over the liaming
of delegates to the convention.
Kannaa Han Primary Law.
The Wood boomers here have the
advantage over their colleagues in
Iowa and Missouri in that they have a
primary, and so are able to take full
advantage of the sentiment for the
.' general.
The only cloud on the Wood horizon
Just at present, and this may easily
be dissipated before the vote is taken,
is a bitter controversy over the in
dustrial court just set rp at the in
stance ofGovernor Allen, and against
which the coal miners and other or
ganized labor elements are very re
sentful. Actually there is more in
terest in this industrial court, as this
is written, than there is in the presi
dential primary. It is pointed out by
the Wood people, however, that no
one of the republican presidential
candidates can afford to take advan- i
tawc of the feeling against Governor I
Alien on this industrial court. It'
would be almost like opposing a "law
ami -order'" candidate.
The really interesting thing about
Kansas; therefore, is not which candi
date she prefers, but how she is going
in the November election. Republi
cans will never forget the terrible Jolt
she gave them in 1916, piling up a
tremendous majority for Wilson at
the same time she was electing Ar
thur Capper governor by a record ma
jority. From every disrcrnable sign Kan
sas is not going to repeat that per
formance. There is resentment still
rankling over what the farmers out
here regard as the deception pract'eed
on them in 1916 by the "kept-us-out-of-war"
issue. This feeling and the
bitterness over the treatment of Gen
eral Wood were the two big points re
sponsible for the republican sweep
here in 1918. when Kansas elected
seven republican members of the
house out of a possible eight.
So. unless something happens which
no one expects, the Sunflower state is
srointr back to the republican column
with a bane: next November. In the
first place, the state is normally re
publican. In the election of 1918 not
only were seven members of the house
out of eight elected republicans, but
Cappr was, elected United states sen
ator and Allen governor by big ma
jorities. Then the criticism of the
Wilson administration's conduct of
the war has got further in Kansas
than in most states. The man who
in testifying before the senate house
committee attacked the "unnecessary
sacrifice of troops" was Heny J. Al
len, whose word carries a lot of
weight here.
Another influence, without refer
ence to which no discussion of the
Kansas situation would be complete,
is the Kansas City Star, which covers
the eastern end of the state like a
blanket. The Star is making -the fight
of its life for Leonard Wood, which is
another of the elements tending to
make it easy for the general in this
state. The Star has been attacking
the Wilson administration right down
the line, and has been particularly
hostile to the peace treaty.
So if President Wilson manages to
force the democrats to make the
peace treaty the paramount issue, the
democrats will find a considerable el
ement in this state unfriendly.
Herbert C. Hoover has many ad
mirers in the towns, but it. is declared
that the wheat farmers, who bulk
large in the state's electorate, are
against him and the administration
for holding the price of wheat down
while the price of cotton was allowed
to soar. Kansas during all its his
tory has been easy to arouse on sec
tional issues. Probably more people
ere killed in this state in the bitter
ness which immediately preceded the
Civil war than in any two other states
put together. Observers point put
that political orators would have
little difficulty In arousing the re
sentment against Hoover and the pro
tected southern cotton grower to a
fever heat.
Women Factors In Fight.
One of the best practical politicians
in the democratic party in -this entire
section of the country was told that
great many of the women of the
state were for Hoover.
"Who are the women of the state?"
he demanded. '"Aren't they the wives
and daughters of the men of the
state? Aren't most of the men in the
state wheat farmers? And don't you
think if the men in the family have
a grudge against a man they think
hurt their pocketbooks that the wom
en of their families are going to join
them in that feeling? Hoover would
be the worst licked man who ever
ran for president."
The democratic organization here,
as in most states generally republi
can, where all the' 'party leaders have
to distribute its federal patronage,
may be relied on to do whatever
President Wilson wants. If he wants
the nomination himself he can prob
ably have it. though most of the dem
ocrats are hoping he will not. If Tie
expresses any pronounced desire for
the nomination of any particular man,
the Kansas delegation to San I ran-
cisco will probably be for that man.
The democratic National committee
man, Samuel B. Amidon. thinks Wood
is going to win the republican prim
inary, but also that the democrats
could carry the state against Wood
because the people don't, want a sol
dier candidate. He does not explain
why the republicans would vote for
a soldier' in a primary but cut him in
a general election.

the right time 'comes. But their mes
sages go to show that not all of the
people In Spokane feel, as the grani
jury is said to feel about the situa
tion."
Regarding the allegations that he
had profited by manipulation of the
grain market through the medium of
his official position, Mr. Houser de
clared that nothing could be further
from the truth. .
Poult Ion Held Sacrifice.
"I have been for a long time trying
to free myself from the Federal
Grain corporation." said Sir. Houser,
"because I have sacrificed enough by
holding it:- I never should have kept
it, but after making a special trip
to New, York for the express purpose
of getting my superiors to release
me, I was told that It would Be vir
tually an act of poor patriotism
should I quit; that I was urgently
needed because of my knowledge of
the details of the work, and because
of this I was persuaded to hold the.
place until they could release me
without injuring the service."
As to the grand Jury's declaration
that Mr. Houser had profited through
manipulations that eventually sent
the 42.000,000 bushels of Washington
wheat Into six companies, with .Min
neapolis as the center, Mr. Houser
said:
Politics Declared Factor.'
"There is not one word of truth in
that. My company's business has
fallen off very materially because 1
have neglected it to give my time to
official duties, for which, I now see,
I am to be vet down by this grand
jury and a lot of jealous people at
Spokane as a grafting manipulator.
The fact that a man could hold the
position I have through motives of
pure patriotism, while losing money,
is far above the heads of lots of peo
ple, but It is a fact, nevertheless."
That politics also enters into the
situation and that he is not the only
one sought to be injured by it, is
another assertion of Mr. Houser.
"You will note the name of Herbert
Hoover among the grand jury's list of
"bad' men," said Mr. Houser. "Politics
p-jre and simple: an effort on the
part of certain people up at Spokane
to hurt Mr. Hoover because' they think
he may be a presidential candidate.
But the people will soon have all the
facts and there will be something
doing." v
Fall Stntemrnt PromUed.
As showing .the absurdity of the
grand jury's statement concerning
him with regard to "cornering" wheat
for the Minneapolis market, Mr.
Houser declared that he has had ab
solutely nothing to do with the man
agement of his own business for a
long time, leaving it to subordinates.
"The fact is," he declared, "Minneapolis-
'cornered' lots of wheat be
cause some people in the Pacific
northwest were asleep. As to my own
situation, I will show it to be a fact
that I have lost several hundred
thousands of dollars by patriotically
staying on my official work, instead
of leaving it arbitrarily and taking
up my private business. Those Spo
kane demagogues ' will learn a few
things ir. due time and so will the
general public. I will give the public
all the facts without bias, based on
figures and corroborated fully, within
a short time and the people will see
for themselves what was behind the
Spokane grand Jury's report."

to enact legislation , providing for
compulsory labor.
"Despite the patriotism and sacri,
fices of the labor of America durin
the world war, under the guise of
anti-sedition laws the effort has bee
made to repress free association, fre
speech and free press.
"Scorned by congress, ridiculed an
misrepresented by many members of
both houses, the American labor
movement finds it necessary vig
oTously to apply Its long and woll-es
tablished non-partisan political, pol
icy. '
"Confronted by a succession of hos
tile congresses, the American Federa
tion of Labor in 1906 announced it
historic 'bill of grievances.' This
was followed by .a vigorous and sue
cessful non-partisan political cam
paign.- In 1908, 1910 and 1912, the
same' programme was energetically
approved and as a result many of
labor s enemies in congress were de
feated and all of the essential legis
lation in labor's bill of grievances of
1906 was enacted.
Constructive; legislation has never
been so necessary as at present.
Never has it been so essential to se
cure the defeat of labor's enemies and
the election of its friends and sup
porters.
War Declared on Enemies.
"Sinister forces are already actively
engaged in efforts to . confuse and
nullify labor's political power. Their
object is to divide the labor vote so
that the election of reactionaries and
enemies of labor will be assured. Un
less labor holds steadfastly to its non
partisan political policy the enemies
of labor will be successful in their
efforts.
"Labor can not, labor must not, per
mit its political strength to be divid
ed in the present crisis. Organized
labor owes allegiance to no political
party. It Is not partisan to any po
litical party. It is partisan to prin
ciples the principles of freedom, ot
justice and of democracy.
"It is the duty of trade unionists
their friends and sympathizers and
all lovers of freedom, justice and
democratic Ideals and Institutions, to
unite in defeating those seeking pub
lie office who are Indifferent or hos
tile to the people's Interests and the
rights of labor.
Support of Friends Irged.
Wherever candidates for re-election
have been friendly to labor's in
terests they should be loyally sun
ported. Wherever candidates are hos
tile or indifferent to labor's Interests,
they should be defeated and the nomi:
nation and election of true and tried
unionists or of assured friends should
be obtained.
"Complying with the instructions
of the last convention and. the labor
and farmer conference of December
13, 1919, the American Federation of
Labor announces its determination to
apply every legitimate means and all
of the power at its command to ac
complish the defeat of labor's enemies
who aspire for public office, whether
they be candidates for president, for
congress, for state legislatures or any
other office.
Call Isaued to Unionists.
"The American Federation of La
bor calls' upon all affiliated and rec
ognized national, international and
brotherhood organizations, state fed
eration of labor, central labor bodies,
local unions and labor's friends and
sympathizers to unite and give loyal
support to the non-partisan political
campaign now set in motion.
This political campaign ' must be

every aspirant for public office must
be thoroughly analyzed, stated in un
mistakable language and given the
widest publicity. Labor's enemies and
friends must be definltelyknown. To
this end the American Federation of
Labor has created the national non

and it now calls upon all affiliated

justifying his action in an interview
published by the Lokal Anzeiger,
Lersner said:
"The demand to surrender some 900
Germans, including men like Hinden
burg. the crown prince, Ludendorff
and Mackensen, whose patriotism and
innocence are irreproachable beyond
doubt, must be prevented under all
circumstances, come what will.
Lersner Experts Support,
"I expect the government to stand
squarely behind me in the matter,
despite the act that it has disavowed
my action. If the government and
people have th'e will not to -give in
and express this will unequivocally,,
the allies will see the impossibility
of their demand and accept the Ger
man proposals. -
"The German people's nour of fat'e
has struck. If Germany yields up its'
leaders to vengeance it conaemns
itself. If Germany refuses the shame
ful demand even . our enemies will
gain respect for us."
Hindenburg and Ludendorff will
not give themselves up ' voluntarily.
Along with all other military lead
ers they will resist being handed over.
Hinder.burg and Ludendorff took this
stand at a secret conference of mili
tary leaders on January 7, at which
Ludendorff was the moving spirit.
The World and ' Oregonion corre

notice on the government authorities
that no German detective will exe

Arrest Would lfe Difficult.
The military police and the blue

otically to follow suit. It is equally
certain that no responsible official i
Germany will sign an order of arrest

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. The peace
treaty, which has lain in a parlia
mentary pigeonhole since Novembe
19, while a basis for its ratificatio
was unsuccessfully sought in privat
negotiations, will be brought for
mally before the senate again . to
morrow. -
Although prompt agreement is ex
pected generally on many of the mm
or points at issue, a long and blue
contest is forecast over article 10
and perhaps a few other, treaty pro
visions. The leaders on both side
profess to see some hope of ratif
cation, but other senators believe the
deadlock certain to continue until the
controversy has been fought oat i
the presidential campaign.

plan to co-operate in untangling the
parliamentary restrictions which must
be removed from about the treaty t

subject of discussion among senators
tonight was the letter of President

A Community of Substan-

Homes
Rich indeed is that community in which
a majority of its residents are home
owners, rather, than renters, for that
fact means a stable population, free
from restlessness and discontent. Tort
land is proud that as a city she holds
the record for home-ownership in the
United States 46 per cent of Portland's
residents owning; their homes. It is well to
mention also that during- the first thirty days
of the "Own Your Home" campaign,' 500 persons
signed resolutions to possess their homes in the
near future.
During the year 1919, 2000 people cither built new
homes, or remodeled their old ones, in contrast to 5(58
during 1918. This is exclusive of the hundreds of homes
sold each month in real estate transactions.
Never was there a time when homes were more in
demand in Portland, and an encouraging fact in con
nection is that it is the wage-earners who are buying
or building them the people who make the bone and
sinew of our nation. Portland as a "city of homes"
has no equal.
The Ladd & Tilton Bank is proud to have had a sub
stantial part in the encouragement and assistance of
Portland residents to own their homes.
