THE " MORNING ' OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1920
THREE STATES POLL
18 years of watching an errant hus
band's footsteps and a constant ef
fort to shield the father from' her
children, was told in a Tacoma court
Tuesday by Mrs. Jennie Peabody, who
is suing Henry Peabody, wealthy
Cowlitz lumberman, for divorce.
Time and again her husband-father,
she called him, promised her he would
do better when she accused him of
relations with Delia Ott, named as co
respondent in the case. She also went
to a sanatorium with him in an effort
to cure him of the liquor habit, she
said. For a time he did better, she
testified, and then his good inten
tions flagged and she began to find
whisky bottles behind the books in
the library and in other hiding places.
She told of how Miss Ott often in
sulted her on the street. Max Peabody,
a son, was called to testify that his
father was out with Miss Ott when
their car was wrecked.
Wesley L. Lloyd and M. J. Gordon
are attorneys for the plaintiff, and
Judge A. I Miller of Vancouver and
J. E. Stone, Castle Rock, represent
Peabody. The latter's wealth is esti
mated at from 100,000 to a. quarter
of a million. The hearing is being
continued.

PROVES
ACCURATE
fCopyricht, 1020. by the Sun and New York
fHerald. Published by arrangement.)
NEW YORK, March 31. Because
their delegates to the republican na
tional convention have already been
selected and are under instructions
the Sun and New York Herald pre
sents herewith the results of its poll
of the county chairmen in the states
of New Hampshire, South Dakota and
Virginia, taking these states out of
their alphabetical order.
It is an indication of the accuracy
of the poll that the results of pri
maries and conventions have so
closely corresponded with the poll
figures.
According to the poll Major-General
Wood is the first choice and Gover
nor Frank O. Lowden second choice of
New Hampshire. Wood got 100 per
cent of the first choices, with Lowden
getting almost the same percentage of
second choices.
Wood Strong In New Hampxhlre.
The eight delegates to the national
convention from New Hampshire were
selected at a presidential preference
primary March 9. Candidates for dele,
gates could run "pledged" or "un
pledged" on the ballot. The eight
chosen were either pledged to Wood
or were unpledged, but known to be
favorable to his candidacy. Governor
Lowden made no fight for delegates
in New Hampshire.
The ten Chicago delegates from
South Dakota were elected at a pref
erential primary March 23. Under
the law they must vote for the winner
of the preferential state-wide choice
for at least three ballots. Thereafter
they are released to go to such can
didate as conscience may dictate.
In the poll Lowden received 37 per
cent of all the first choices, while
Wood and Charles E. Hughes were
tied with a little over 13 per cent
each. Senator Johnson got nearly 10
per cent of the first choice votes, with
the others distributed among Senator
Warren G. Harding, Governor Calvin
Coolidge and Senator James E. Wat
aon of Indiana. '
Wood led in the number of "second
choice'" votes cast, but was followed
closely there by Lowden.
Democrat' Plight Pitiable.
As for democratic candidates, they
are not thinking of them in New
Hampshire, President Wilson leads,
with W. J. Bryan a close second in
South Dakota. In Virginia also the
president occupies the foremost place
in the minda of democrats, with
William G. McAdoo a second choice.
according to the reports of the re
publican chairmen.
In South Dakota the democratic
party is a pitiable plight, according
to the republicans. "Chaos" was the
laconic and expressive reply of one
chairman to the question as to whom
the democrats were considering. "No
such animal," "All at sea," "We have
no democrats," are samples of other
replies.
"Party badly run down at the heel
wrote one of the republican chairmen
about his rivals. "Had to be urged
by republicans to keep up party or
ganization in this county. Choice for
president? Don't give a d !
Senator Hiram W. Johnson, who
with Senator Miles Poindexter made
.trp the quartet of entries in the South
Dakota handicap, was not reported as
the first choice of a single county.
but got a fair percentage of the sec
ond choice ballots. Not a mention was
made of Senator Poindexter either
for first or second.

story of economy, of hours of hard work prevented and money saved

This new model style 110 has met a
most hearty reception. It is quaintly
beautiful in its design, and in the new
brown mahoganies, singularly attrac
tive. You should see and hear it. It is
new, not only in design, but new also in
its big, powerful motor, its oval molded
amplifying chamber and in the purity
and truthful quality of its tone.
Being a Brunswick, it, of course, has
that patented feature, the Ultona,
which permits the perfect playing of
the records of all makers and aM

nothing to put on or take off. Hear it
and let your own ear decide.
