TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SrAUCII 24, 1920 3 HITCHCOCK MAY B OF 1 Wet Platform Said to Make Nebraskan Desirable. TREATY IDEA IN HARMONY - President Seeks Standard Bearer Who Will Continue fight ' Against Reservations. OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU.Wash lngton, March 23. Signs of real in terest in the democratic presidential struggle constitute the outstanding feature of the peace treaty aftermath. The contest itself, however, con tinues to be a guessing match. In terest is largely due to anticipation that the President will indicate some definite plans of his own soon, either by showing that he intends to run for & third term or that he intends to pick someone else for narty standard- bearer on the treaty issue with light I wine and beer trimmings. Much prominence is given today to a report that Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock or Nebraska, who has man aged the president's fight for rati fication of the treaty without reserva tions, is Mr. Wilson's choice, if he must choose someone other than him self. Treaty Is Well Known. It is pointed out that the presi dent would necessarily desire to se lect one who knows more about the peace treaty and the league covenant than any other democratic candidate so far mentioned. Hitchcock, it is reasoned, is the only man mentioned for the democratic nomination except Herbert Hoover, who could take a platform anywhere in the United States tomorrow and tell an audi ence what all of this treaty business is about. The Nebraskan, though long the president's most stubborn foe in the senate, has reinstated himself m the White House confidence by stick ing to Mr. Wilson to the point of defeating the treaty w:ith reserva , tions. Liquor Hole Fitted. Furthermore, Mr. Hitchcock is un derstood to fit into Mr. Wilson's ideas on prohibition. Mr. Hitchcock has come out squarely for letting down the bars to light wines and beer. His recent defiance of William Jen nings Bryan on the prohibition ques tion has made him a popular idol with wets in all parts of the country, who at once hail him as the logical leader of their attack on the 18th amendment. The wets were for Gov ernor Edwards of New Jersey so long as he was the only wet candidate, but the recent soggy declaration of prin ciples by Mr. Hitchcock apparently has caused advocates of 4 per cent beer and 12 per cent wine to transfer their affections to the Nebraska Sen ator on the theory that he can com bine the liquor issue with something of more sober character like the peace treaty and draw votes from many directions. For three days the desk in Senator Hitchcock's office at the capitol has been covered with tele grams praising his declaration for wine and beer and indorsing his can didacy for the democratic nomina tion. As a nest egg he will have the 16 votes from Nebraska in spite of Mr. Bryan, it is said, and the im provement of his chances will then rest largely on the accuracy of the rumor that Mr. Wilson is for. him.

They have learned that there is no economy in . "cheap" goods, and that merchandise of quality is the only kind which enables them to get lasting value f err the money expended. . In no line of merchandise is quality more nec essary than in pianos. A cheaply-constructed, poorly-finished instrument of .mediocre tone and uncertain standing; offers neither value nor satisfaction. Price is the only talking point for such instruments. . Good piano dealers will not carry this kind of instruments.. It is true pianos of dependable quality will cost a little more but that extra cost is nothing compared to the. years of use and complete satisfaction you will have in return. We carry a most comprehensive line of pianos many of them very old and famous makes, such as the Steinway but they are all of dependable quality. The prices cover a wide range, and we gladly arrange convenient payment terms. .
