Reports re ceived from county chairmen In New Jersey show tnat Major-General Leonard Wood is the first choice of that state for the presidential nomina tion. United States Senator Harding of Ohio is second choice. Senator John son, who is actually making a strenu ous fight for some of New Jersey's 28 national delegates and the presi dential preference in the primary, which is to be held on April 27, was not mentioned by a single chairman as either the first or the second choice of his county. Prohibition is the burning issue as far as Jerseymen are concerned, if the testimony of the leaders is to be taken on this point. Answering the question: "What in your opinion will be the paramount issue of the cam paign of 19207" one oi tne cnmrraeo put it in this way: "Undoubtedly the wet issue; next ; the league of nations." J Democrats Fw Kdwaraa. As the greater part of the country knows by this time.

Governor Lowden of Illinois ' and United States Senator Edge of New Jersey. One chairman wrote against Edge's name: "If a candidate, first, last and always. After Edge, Harding. There is no particular sen timent for any one else in this coun ty." On "second choices" Harding was high man, getting 41. S per cent of all cast. The others were divided as fol lows: Wood. 16 per cent; Butler, 12.5, and Lowden something more than 4 per cent. Two counties had no second choice. prohibition Isaac Pinmoiit. Among the issues touched upon as feeing in the minds of New Jersey re . publicans for campaign use, in addi tion to the "paramount" prohibition are Americanism, harmonizing capi tal and labor, the inefficiency and mismanagement of the democratic ad ministration in Washington, the tariff and "business control of business." Very little mention was made of the league of nations. A dispatch from one of the special correspondents reads: "Subject to unexpected . contin gencies, which may intervene be tween now and the presidential pri maries on April 27, ' General Wood seems reasonably certain of having the support of most, if not all. of the delegates from New Jersey. Although by no means the unanimous choice of the republican voters of this state. General Wood is so far in the lead of any other aspirant for the nomina tion that a Wood delegation is regarded as practically certain. "The republican organisation Is cated by the fact that he received the almost unanimous inaorsemeni oi the state committee and the chairmen vass of the state made by the state committee is saia to snow prepon derance of sentiment for General Wood.

OF DEMOCRATS. v 'Attempt to Be Made to Show That . President Has Been Harried ! by Conspirator Band OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington. April 2. Capitalization of President Wilson's illness as a campaign asset is to be the demo cratic mathod of campaign. This wan made clar by Homer S. Cummings. chairman of the democratic national committee, in a remarkable statement made to newspaper men today. A deliberate attempt is to be made by a greu political party organiza tion to make it appear that any criticism of the president's official acts has been with deliberate purpose of breaking down his health and morale. b charge was made a few days ago In Mississippi, by Senator John rinsirp Williams, but it was regarded as part of the ebullient eloquence of the Mississippi senator and uttered lor dome consumption. But Mr. Cum mings made the charge seriouslv to . 4ay, made It without any reserva tions and without any apparent realization or the bizarre character ot the charge. According to Mr. Cummings. the president was pursued and is still pursued by malevolent persons who combine political and personal hos tility to the president, and they hounded and harried him until the broke down his health, and so on. Mr. Cummings dwelt with horror upon the picture of this malevolent hatred pursuing the president to Ver sailles, and even interfering with the accomplishment of his purpose there. The democratic national chairman would not mention the names of those engaged in this conspiracy to break down Mr. Wilson's health, but he lati- I u V , i M ti- ' la hi iff - i l' - " - ' ' - A J0 J . - I v t J' , - V A ' IA t t 1 . v ' H 4 ' Y . . q N ' i H k&yj ; -. .rtvvs:'.f,:.: ? i I ' 1 !'

STEPHEN BAKER, TREASURER OF THE BUSINESS AD PROFES SIONAL. DIVISION IN THE V. W. C. A. CAMPAIGN. mated broadly that anyone who dis agreed with the president was part of the. cabal and that an earnest desire for a continuation ' of the president's good health should have caused one and all to accept without a murmur what he did or said or wanted to do. Mr. Cummings was asked if he ex cepted Mr. Bryan from this con spiracy to wreck and tear down the president's health, but cleverly evaded this leading and evidently em barrassing question. The democratic chairman admitted that the president is still a very sick man, saying this was a cause of re gret to those who entertained affec tloa for the executive and also un fortunate for the country. Mr. Cummingrs, having injected this new phase into campaign considera tion, made the flat announcement that the democratic convention would indorse the president's attitude on the league. He chose his words carefully and did not say the president's atti tude then might not be different from what it is now, aiid also refused to be quoted as. saying the convention would indorse the league without reservations. This led to the suggestion of the name of Herbert Hoover In the dis cussion. Mr. Cummings was asked if the loss of Mr. Hoover seriously af fected the democratic cohorts. Mr. Cummings leaned back in his chair and delivered himself of this political bon mot: "It is a sad thing to see so es sentially a democrat engaged in the vain effort of trying to liberalize the staudpat party." WOMEN ANNOY EMBASSY Police Say Unable to Interfere Un less Disorder Occurs. WASHINGTON. April 2. Effort, of the state department today to have the Washington police authorities break up the picketing of the British embassy by women favorable to an Irish republic failed. The police said tnat m the light of the decision of the federal courts in the case of the suf fragists who picketed the. White House two years ago. they were pow erless to act unless there was disorder. A dozen women marched ud and down the sidewalk in front of the em bassy this morning displaying banners criticising tne British government. State department officials Immediate, ly conferred with the District of Co lumbia commissioners and police authorities. It was said that the British .em bassy had made no complaint. , . .. - The women undertook a demonstra tion at the Capitol yesterday, but were turned' away by the Capitol po lice.

While some people are showing a lack of sym pathy others in the city, like H.Cleve land, for example, feel differently about it. Mr. Cleveland, vyho is a bachelor and wouldn't be expected to have any particular interest in the Y. W. C. A., came into head quarters yesterday. "I have never been solicited and thought perhaps you did not have my name," he said. And he proerred a $100 liberty bond as his contribu tion. More than one subscription has come In through the mail and the donors have been from every walk of life. Often the gifts prove to be an expression of gratitude from those who have received aid from the organization. For instance, Mrs. E. Campeau sent the following note with her $5 check. "I, an elderly woman, wish to ex press my thanks for the protection and kind attention rendered me by the Y. W. C. A. I am especially grateful also for the assistance given me by the Traveler's Aid, as I ar rived here late at night, homeless. I have traveled much, but have never been treated so kindly as I have at the Portland Y. W. C. A." '" The following is an incomplete report of the teams:" Mrs. William Wheelwright. $2217: Mrs. R. T.
