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.

the Stomach Faults That

To sit back after a good meal and
know there is not, going to be sour

believe they can trace each attack of

prises them, invariably, to note how
quickly relief comes after using- one
or two of these tablets. Whether It
is highly seasoned food, rich pastry,
the heavy hearty foods or some one
particular offender the relief comes
Just the same. Those who are sus
ceptible to attacks of indigestion or

stomach with an alkaline effect just
as It does naturally when it is work

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are so

Quality, Not Price
. Should Determine Your
Choice of a Piano
In these days careful buyers are asking,
not "how much," but "how good." 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. .
