TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXtAX, TnURSDAT, FEBRUARY 12, 1920 KENTUCKY RACE LED ClfllET MEETINGS B COX ID PALMER Tork BY CARTER FIELD. (Political corfcsDondence. of New Tribune. Published by arrangement.) LOUISEVELLE, Ky Feb. 4. There is more activity on behalf of demo cratic presidential candidates in Ken tucky than in any other state in the union with the possible exception of Ohio, right across the river, where the battle between Cox and Pomerene for the honor of being Ohio's favorite 18 raging. Kentucky. Is the only state In which the democratic national committee man has come out openly for any other candidate than Wilson. General W. B. Haldeman, until recently owner of the Louiseville Courier-Journal, is out flatly for the nomination by the democrats of Herbert C. Hoover. Whether he will be able to deliver thd delegation to Hodver is another matter. The general has never been the sort of political boss that is de picted in cartoons. Cox and1 Palmer Favored. The democrats of the state appar ently are not very enthusiastic about following the leadership of General Haldeman toward the Hoover band wagon. The two democratic candi dates mustering the most strength, apparently, are GoveVnor Cox of Ohio and Attorney-General Palmer. Al though Senator Pomerene of Ohio has his headquarters in Covington, Ky. from which his propaganda is mailed out all over the country by his man ager, who was formerly secretary ta George Creel, Pomerene has apparent ly made little progress here. The strong sentiment for Cox seems to flow over the river from Ohio, for he is strongest in Kentucky. In the counties along the Ohio river. Attorney-General Palmer Is being boosted by an influential group of democrats, including L. M. Smith known locally as "Busy" Smith be cause he is said to be always busy with politics. Smith was in the adju tant-general's office in Washington during the war, and became a great admirer of Mr. 1'almer. Most of the democrats, however, are just marking time, wondering what the president is going to do. The probability seems to be now that while General Halde man may have considerable to do with picking the delegation, it will be uniustructcd. Wood Confers With Hert. General Wood paid a visit to Louis ville January 29 for the purpose of lining up A. T. Hert, republican na tional committeeman and absolute boss of the republican party in the state. Everyone concedes that Hert, whose leadership carried the state and elected a republican governor last election, will absolutely control the delegation to the Chicago convention. Mr. Hert gave a luncheon in the general's honor, seemed much pleased with his speech, but did not commit himself. On the contrary he told close friends next day after the general had gone back to Chicago, that he did not think he would tie up with any candidate, either now or in the near future, but would probably head an uninstructcd delegation. This will make the 26 delegates of Kentucky a prize to be competed for by rival candidates at the convention. especially as it is becoming increas ingly apparent that no candidate is going to have anything like a ma jority on the first ballot at Chicago. And the man who will control 26 votes, as Mr. Hert will, beyond any question,' is going to be a very real .'figure. Hert Is very friendly to Wood. Some of his friends say he will not be at all displeased if the general is nomi nated. Some even say he prefers Wood to any candidate in the field so far. t Hardinir and Lowdea Boosted. Meanwhile some of the friends of ' Senator Harding, particularly down in the sixth congressional district, which is opposite Cincinnati, are very nctive in behalf of the Ohio senator. It was this sixth district, normally heavily democratic? in which the re publicans made their biggest gains in the landslide for Governor Morrow. Friends of Governor Lowden are also very active down in the rivet counties across from Illinois, and ex pect to nail down a lot of delegates to the state convention. The republicans are confident of their ability to carry Kentucky for the republican nominee in November. They point to the election of Governor Morrow by a big majority at the last election to the gain of a member of the house of representatives in the 1918 election, and to the more recent by-election in which Representative Swope was elected in a strongly dem ocratic district, with the democrats playing national issues strong and urging the voters to stand by the president. Treaty Issue Not Denired. The election of Swope is taken as indicating that the people of Ken tucky are not as enthusiastic about the league of nations and the peace treaty as are the people of some other states. At any rate a prominent dem ocratic leader told me he thought very poor politics had been played by the democrats on the treaty and that in the interest of the democratic party in Kentucky he wishes the democratic senators would accept the Lodge reservations and keep the treaty out of the campaign. This is precisely the centlment of the demo crats in Missouri. LINCOLN TO BE HONORED MEMORIAL SOCIETY MEETIXG AT CENTRAL LIBRARY. Elaborate Banquet to Be Served at Chamber of Commerce Under Republican Auspices. 1 Portland and the state at large will today honor tho name of Abraham Lincoln.

Speakers have been provided by the WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. (Special.) Here is a brand-new Washington mystery. The cabinet meetings, which have been such a feature of the ad ministration since the president's ab sence and subsequent illness, have been suddenly discontinued by the di rection of the president himself. In the beginning Vice-President Marshall presided at the gatherings. but about the time the senate lobby was buzzing with the malicious false hoods of the president's mental con dition and Senator Moses perpetrated his famous letter telling a constituen that Woodrow Wilson would never again be a factor in important affairs, the system was changed and Secre tary of State Lansing sat at the head of the table. The senate gossips be nevolently attributed the change to the suggestion- so frequently fruited about that congress was about to take steps to ascertain the real con dition of the executive, with the in timation that Vice-President Marshall was to assume the big place, in ac cordance with the constitutional pro vision. Presidential Advice Given." The visit of Senators Hitchcok and Fall to the president's bedside put an end to this kind of talk, but Secretary Lansing continued to officiate as chairman of the cabinet sessions. At these meetings Secretary Tumulty was always present, aid Rear-Ad miral Grayson, the president's doctor, was usually there, also. ' t As the president progressed toward health, one or the other of these car ried reports of the proceedings to the sick room, and every serious question was in this way brought to the presi dent's attention for advice or de cision. The plan functioned very well. The coal strike, among other big things. was handled by the cabinet, and, though the cabinet divided on injunc tion procedure, it worked out all right. It was assumed that the threatened railroad strike would be handled in the same -way if it flowered into a real industrial disturbance, but sud denly came the word to cabinet offi cers thaf there would be no more cab inet meetings unless called by the president's order. Explanation Ta Missjlns;. No explanation accompanied the notice.- It was delivered to the sec retary of state and by him delivered by letter to each of the members of the cabinet a simple statement that Christmas Gifts Made by Radical Leaders Deported on Soviet Ark Buford. NEW TORK. Feb. 11. Dollar bills autographed by Alexander Berkman while he and 248 other Russians were being deported on the soviet ark Bu fOTd were brought to New York today by Martin Berkshire, immigration in spector, and other officers who had charge of the deportees. The .round trip to Hango, Finland, whence the deportees were seat to soviet terri tory, occupied nearly two months. On Christmas day Berkman gave away 200 dollar bills, autographed by himself and Emma Goldman, accord ing to Colonel C. N. Hilton, who was in charge of the Buford guards. "I . guess they won't do us any good," said Berkman, as he acted as Santa Claus. The passengers on the ark sang Russian songs with extra gusto on the night' of December 22.' when the Buford picked up a wireless message from New York, saying their friends had rioted at the entrance to the Ellis island ferry the day after me Jtsuiora put out from New York. That's the beginning of the revolu tion in America," they shouted. Berkman and Miss Goldman tried to convert some of the soldier guards to bolshevism. The Buford went through one of the most dangerous German mine fields in the North sea, the inspectors said, because the British .pilot had not been informed of the removal of a light ship. ' " ' .

Steward of Almighty God What was the secret of Lincoln's power? He revealed it once in a letter to a personal frien . "I hold myself aa an instrument of Providence. I have my own views and purposes, i have my convictions of duty and my notions of what is right. But I am conscious at every moment that all that I am, all that J have is subject to the control of a Higher Power." "An instrument of Providence" a steward of Almighty God in that conviction lay his mastery.
