THE MORNING OREGOXlANy TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1920 HAlilG LEADS WOOD IfJ MISSOURI FIGHT General's Friends Forced to Combat Republican "Big 4." LOWDEN MEN HOPEFUL Democrats United Only in Opposi tion to Wilson Bryan Is Still a Factor. BT CARTER FIELD. (Political Correspondent of the New York Tribune. Published by Arrangement.) St. Louis. Feb. 1. The 36 votes of Missouri at ihe republican national convention, which were "absolutely sewed up" for Leonard Wood In De cember, will probably be divided be tween Senator Harding of Ohio and Governor Lowden of Illinois on the tirst ballot. Harding, according to the best information obtainable here, will have a big majority of the delegation, but Lowden will have a few, unless the members should cast their ballots as a unit, in which case the entire 36 will vote for Harding on th'- first ballot There is no room for doubt about the situation here. The republican leaders, who will be in complete con trol of the state convention and the delegation, this not being a primary state, make no bones about the fact that there has been a switch, nor about why the switch was made. It happened when John T. King re cigned as Wood's campaign manager. King had lined the republican leaders of the state up behind Wood. There was a talk between King and Edward Koristel of St. Louis, at New York in October, vhen the groundwork was laid. Another talk at Chicago, at which the general was present, de cided Foristel in favor of the Wood Doom. He returned to St. Louis, set the wheels In motion and the word went down the line that there was nothing to it but Wood. Then King resigned and Foristel lost interest. The Wood club, which had been started with Judge Henry Lamm of Sedalia, republican, candi date for governor four years ago president, languished, and the Wood movement died a naturr-.l death, so far as most of Missouri is concerned Forixtel Hold Krf, Incidentally, Foristel holds the key to the Missouri situation. This is ad mitted by every one here, democrats and republicans alike. The situation is that the St. Louis republican ma chine, admittedly one of the best oiled pieces of . mechanism in Amer ican politics, and. which usually de livers 25.0U0 republican majority in the city alone, is dominated by fou men, or rather by twe pairs of men, One pair is made up of Edward Fori stel and Edmund Koeln, the city col lector; the other pair of Mayor Henry W. Kiel and John Schmoll. The two pets have opposed each other at times, but recently a complete truce wa patched up whereby Foristel and Koeln agreed not to oppose Mayo Kiel for re-election this year, and Kiel and Schmoll agreed to give Fori etel and Koeln a free hand and un limited support on certain otheV mat ters, one of which is the national end, Including the delegation to the Chi cago convention. This is not all, by any means, for the influence of all four reaches out into the state. In Kansas City Walter 6. uickey, millionaire pipe and brick manufacturer, candidate of the re publicans for the United States sen ate in 1916 against James A. Reed, i in full sympathy with the St. Louis republicans. He is not committing himself publicly against Wood, but he is known to have switched. He now thinks the pecple do not want a eoiuier candidate. In Kansas City the Star is making me Dest ngnt it can for General Wood. The fatar dominates that field, fro newspaper standpoint, but it docs not always win its political fights, by any means. And the big republicans at that end of the state are inclined to play with the powerful St. Louis crowd, especially when their own leaders, such as Dickey, agree with me bt. Louis republicans. Confidential Explanation Given. The confidential explanation of the Wood people is that John T. King had promised places in the cabinet two or three times over to line up leaders in the various states, and the general simply could not permit such traffick ing to go on. This could be entirely true and not disturb the facts Just set lortn at ail. It would rather strength en their logic. But there is more to it than any mere fear on the part of tne politicians here that they would not get the offices. Most of the big repuoiican leaders in tnis state are millionaires. Few of them want any offices for themselves. Certainly they want to control the patronage that ij what a political machine lives on but they also are human in their friendships. They knew and trusted John T. King, and they did not like it at all to discover that the man who brought them on board the Wood ship had been dropped overboard. On the democratic side all is bitter QUIT MEAT WHEN Take a Glass of Salts If Your Eack Hurts or Bladder Bothers You. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, eays a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid whicr excites the kid neys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from eluggish kidneys. The moment you foel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before bre.kfaat and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia. and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weak ness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot Injure: makes a delightful effer vescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications. Adv. dissension. Those who call themselves aarnimsrration men have Deen iryins to read Senator James A. Reed out of the party, and so far Reeds friends have prevented any such action. A particularly desperate effort at the state committee meeting at Jefferson City last Thursday failed, despite evi dence that Reed's friends were In the minority. Missouri Against Wilson. I The situation seems to be that Mis souri Is not with the president on his treaty fight at alL Those for ratifi cation without reservations are in a very small minority, and there is a considerable element back of Reed in his desire to "kill the whole busi ness." In the five leading cities of the state a prominent democratic pol itician who does not agree with Reed pointed out today there is only one newspaper in favor of ratification without reservations the Kansas City Post Every other newspaper in those five cities either wants the treaty with reservations or else wants it killed. In addition there is the powerful influence ot Senator Reed, who is enormously strong in the 'state, de spite his opposing 'the president on this question, so close to Mr. Wilson's heart. Then there are those friends of former Speaker Champ Clark who have never forgiven Mr. Wilson, and on top of it all there is the influence of v illiam Jennings Bryan, still po tent In Missouri, not to mention for mer Governor Joseph w. Folk, .an ardent Bryan supporter, who still has a strong following, as evidenced by his nomination for senator two years ago. Many big democrats admitted to me on the promise that their names should not be used that Wilson would be overwhelmingly beaten if he should run again. A democratic editor said the east should stop counting Mis souri as part of the "solid south.' Senatorial Battle Hot. There is a hot battle for the sen atorial nomination on the republican side. Indicating at least a little con fidence that .the republicans may carry the state. Senator Selden P. Spencer, .republican, who defeated Joseph W. (Folk two years ago for Senator Stone's unexpired term, is being opposed by Colonel Dwight F. Davis, a millioraire, who was dec orated three times for bravery at the front in France, and J. L. Minnis, former vice-president of the Wabash railroad. Spencer has developed a great deal of strength in rural Mis souri, it is said here. Davis, with the backing of the St. Louis crowd, is expected to pile up the votes in this city. Most observers think Minnis will run third, although he is well known through the state and popular. On the democratic side so far the only entrant is Breckenridge Long, assistant secretary of state. He is in the state now fighting for the elec tion of a democratic member of the house from the third congressional district. The confidential opinion of the politicians of both parties is that he will be beaten if the republicans select the right man. Champ Clark May Knter. This is complicated slightly by the fact that Champ Clark may enter the senatorial race. He has not made up his mind. One of the impelling mo tives is that the republicans are go ing after the 9th congressional dis trict very hard this year. They have agreed on T. W. Huckriede to oppose Clark, or whoever may be the demo cratic nominee, and the district looks like easy picking to them, especially with the tide in Missouri running strong against the democrats. Another of the elements in Missouri which .is working against the demo crats is the feeling through the state growing out of the last guberna torial election four years ago. The republicans contended that Judge Lamm was elected and counted out by fraud. Under the election, laws of the state the legislature has to sanction a contest before one can be made. When the republicans at tempted to have the ballot boxes opened the democratic eglslature calmly refused permission. ASTORIA TICKS REPORT OH RATES Oral Hearings in Case Are Set for April.

' Supplement to War Risk Insurance Law Not Generally Under stood by Service Men. WASHINGTON. Feb. 8 (Special.) Because discharged, sick, or disabled soldiers do not know the extent of federal aid they are entitled to, a treat many of them are buying their own artificial limbs, paying for medi cal attention, or neglecting them selves, in spite of the fact that they can get the very best of treatment from the government. Reports reaching the United States ublic health service from stations where hospitals are in operation for the benefit of discharged soldiers, sailors, marines and war nurses, show that a great number of men who served in the war and were injured have never fully understood the pro- isions of the legislation supplement ing the war risk insurance act. Un der the terms of this legislation the ublic health service has estab- shed hospitals at convenient places throughout the United States for the free treatment of any member of the military establishment whose disa bility may be traced to service with the military, or naval forces. These are civilian hospitals, not under army discipline. The bill provides that the men are entitled to a free medical examina- ion to determine the extent of their isability. If found to. be disabled the war risk bureau will pay them compensation according to the extent f the disability, and if the case re uires, it will direct that they be ad mitted to the most convenient public health service hospital or sanitarium. The - hospital furnishes artificial mbs, glass eyes, braces for deformed limbs, etc., free. It also examines the eyes to see whether glasses are need ed and looks after the teeth. In case of tuberculosis, or other diseases re- uiring like treatment, special sani tarium treatment 13 provided.

Rolph. sheriff of Benton county, is holding l the men in the county jail. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Feb. 9. Oral hearings in the Portland rate case will be granted by the full interstate.com meree commission some time in April appeared today. The calendar is full for all of March. ine oner of the city and port o Astoria and the Astoria chamber of commerce was filed today with the commission. It attacks the findings contained in the tentative report of Chief Examiner Thlrtell for the com mission which was made public on January 8, and asserts that the only effect of his recommendations can be increased rates for a very large ter ritory. . "We believe that the approval by the commission of the recommenda tions suggested by the chief examiner will result in serious injury to, if not destruction of. the commercial and shipping interests of the lower Co lumbia river," is one of the opening paragraphs of the brief. Proposals Mean Disaster, Asserted. It Is further asserted that "during the entire history of rate making in the territory Involved, prior to Astoria being placed on a parity with Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, it was conceded by Portland interests that these cities were so economically, commercially and geographically situ ated with respect to the inland empire that each should be on parity rates.- It is then stated "if the recdm mendations of the chief examiner be followed, the entire rate structure of the northwest will be disrupted ana there will be no end to rate liti gation, or stability to commerce or business. The giving to Portland the territory south of Snake river s an invitation to the sound cities to carve out of the Inland Empire all of the territory north of the Snake river at least, such as is com parable to that given to Portland A glance at the map will ehow that f Portland is given south of the Snake river, the same reasoning will give the sound all territory similarly located to it, which is not inconsid erable, leaving Portland, not men tioning Astoria, situated poorly, in deed. The Columbia then may as well forever bid adieu to all hope of commercial activity. This may satis fy the complainants but not the com mercial interests of Oregon." Effect Held Untitle. "The chief examiner found from the record in this case that the 'rates on both class and commodities to and from Portland and the Inland Em pire are reifsonable. The chief ex aminer also found that rates on both class and commodities to and from the sound cities and Astoria and the Inland Empire are reasonable. Now, what will be the effect of carvins from the Inland Empire territory that portion thereof lying south of the Snake river? The rates to and from that territory to Portland are rea sonable, hence cannot be reduced. The result inevitable: The freight rates must be increased to and from all the Inland Empire territory lying north of the Snake river to and from the sound cities and Astoria. Therefore, if the recommendations of the chief examiner are adopted, all freight rates, including both class and commodities mentioned in his find Ings to and from the sound cities, and to and from Astoria, and that portion of the Snake river will be increased It is inconceivable to us that this commission can hold that the inter ests of Portland .are superior to the interests of the producers in this vast territory north of the Snake river. If . Portland's interests are superior to such producers and the commercial and shipping Interests of that the territory, the recommenda tions of the chief examiner ought to be sustained. On. the contrary, if the commercial and shipping interests of the producers in this vast terri tory are superior to the Interests of Portland the recommendations of the chief examiner must be disallowed. "It is not to be denied that a mu nicipality is entitled to the benefits of its geographical, commercial and economic location. We think, how ever, that the records of the commis sion may be examined in vain to find any intimation of this commission that the geographical, commercial or economic location of any municipality is superior to the commercial inter ests of the community, or that any producing or consuming locality is required to pay tribute to any munici pality or people. We believe this commission will hesitate very serious ly before accepting a doctrine so de structive of the great commercial in terests of the United States." Lmnb(Bmf M ffi Sr f fatnilv?

At first I blamed it on the heavy lunch eona, and cut down to cracker and milk, with no result. I cut ont amok, ing. But atill my enemy came gnaw ing at my temple every afternoon. One morning I came down reaolvea to go to an optician. But oddly enough, that afternoon I had no headache ao I put it oil. Again the next day I found myself, when S o'clock came, atill clear-headed and wondering what bad happened. Just as I started for borne, Thomas, the office manager, came io and said "How do you like our new lights?" "What new lights?" I asked, "I hadn't noticed them." "I don't wonder you hadn't," be aaid, "we call them the disappearing fixtures because you hardly know where the light is coming from. Look!" and he pointed overhead. I looked up and saw that the glar ing light under which I bad been working for months had become so soft that I could look directly at it without blinking. And yet ibe whole office was as bright as morning sunlight. As Thomas ex plained the new light I realixed why my headaches were gone, lie took me into our showrooms and showed me the same fixtures there, but covered with beautiful silk shade.
