and Coolidge Are Third.
LEAGUE LEADING ISSUE
Prevailing Opinion Among Chair
men Is That Oil State IKes Not
Want Versailles-Pact.
(Copjrighf by the Sun and New Tork Her
ald. Published by arrangement.)
NCW YORK. April 9. Governor
Lowden or Illinois is the first choice
of the republicans of .Oklahoma for
the presidential - nomination. The
second choice is Major-General Leon
ard Wood, who got 22.5 per cent of
the first choices in the poll of county
chairmen. Senator Johnson and Gov
ernor Coolidge split the remaining
10 per cent between them.
Although the delegates to the na
tional convention were not instructed,'
their 20 votes will be cast for Lowden,
according to special reports from
Owen of Oklahoma is the
first choice of the democrats of that
elate, having received the indorse
ment of the state convention for the
presidential nomination, but the re
publican chairmen report that senti
ment for William Jennings Bryan is
growing rapidly.
Lraitie Leading lunar.
In the oil state, as in the greater
number of others already handled in.
this series, the league of nations is
the paramount issue. The prevailing
impression is, as stated by the county
chairmen, that they don't want it
either with or without reservations.
' There has been a bitter fight for
control of the republican organization
In Oklahoma between James J.
McGraw, national committeeman for
-the last four years, and Jake L.
Hamon, who is to succeed him.
While the name of Herbert Hoover
was not mentioned by the county
chairman in connection with the feel
ing for him either among the repub
licans or the democrats, special correspondents-in
last minute rtports said
that considerable sentiment had de
vefoped among the democrats prior
to the time that the former food ad
ministrator had declared himself an
independent republican.
One of the republican chairmen ex
pressed his idea of Hoover by heavily
scoring out the California engineer's
name in the list of republican possi
bilities on the printed ballot and pen
ciling alongside the blank smudge the
word "Unthinkable." The name of
former President Taft was scored out
less heavily with the notation, "Noth
ing doing." Dr. Nicholas Murray
Butler was eliminated as "Not con
sidered." Wood's name was crossed
out with no comment. Lowden was
named as the county's choice, with
Johnson second, while the chairman
at the same time indicated that his
personal favorite was Senator Watson
of Indiana.
Bryan Sentiment Grown.
While Senator Owen was declared
to be the choice of the democratic
voters by four to one over Bryan in
the replies of the republican county
chairmen, many of them Indicated
that the Bryan sentiment is develop
ing rapidly. One county, it seems,
has indorsed President Wilson, but
that is all. No other mention of him
was made.
"The people of this county are
strong on Americanism," wrote one
chairman. "While this is a repub
lican county there are a large num
ber of democrats who have renounced
their allegiance to their party and
say they will vote for any republican
nominated.
"Extravagant waste of the people's
money, incompetency in every branch
of the government, autocratic rule or
one-man power as demonstrated by
the dismissal of Lansing," these are
some of the issues as conceived in
the mirAl of one county as "reported
by its chairmen.
Oklahoma is against military train
ing, as indicated in the reports.
SOUTH CAROLI-VA FOR WOOD
Poll Shows Xo Very Decided
Choice In Southern State.
NEW TORK, April 9. According to
the returns from the republican coun
ty chairmen of South Carolina Major
General Wood is the first choice of
the members of the party there for
the presidential nomination.
Governor Lowden of Illinois is the
second choice. Neither the first nor
the second choice was as outstanding
in South Carolina as in most of the
states.
Of all the first choices received
Wood polled 33.3 per cent, with Hiram
W. Johnson, Governor Lowden, Sen
ator Harding and Charles E. Hughes
receiving 16 per cent. each.
The strength of Wood's position
there lies in the fact that he is strong
in "second choice" votes as well as
first. In the "second choice" column
he received 33.3 per cent.
' There seems to be no clear cut
sentiment for any one man for the
democratic nomination among the
members of that faith in South Caro
lina, according to reports made by the
republican leaders. There was about
equal mention of President 'Wilson,
William G. McAdoo, Senator Reed of
Missouri and Herbert Hoover.
A row developed at the state con
vention, which was held in Columbia,
the result of which will be that twn
contesting delegations, of 11 dele
gates each, will be sent to Chicago.
The contest did not develop over the
personality or any presidential ran
didate, and each delegation will be
eent to the national convention un
instructed. For some years Joseph W. Tnih.rt
of Greenwood has been the dominat
ing personality in the republican or
ganization of South Carolina. Ho h
held the position both of national
committeeman and -chairman of the
etate committee. At the convention
there was a .determined effort to
wrest control from Mr. Tolbert on
the part of a faction header) hv .T
Duncan Adams of Spartanburg, a
u n i tea states marshal. Mr.
Adams frankly stated that he sought
to eliminate Mr. Tolbert from any iij-
nuciiwc in tne organization.

extent, in order that the public may
be not seriously inconvenienced," the
letter said.
. "We appreciate, however, that owing
to present economic conditions over
which we have no control and the
fact that the situation has been
grossly misrepresented by irrespon

tatoDahip of an unorganized body of

Gneruieat tm lnvrutlgmte.
Important developments were the
ordering- of an investigation of the
strike by the United States and an
nouncement by W. G. Lee, president
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, that the brotherhood would op
pose any attempt to settle tha walk
out by mediation.
Six railroads delivered 172 cars of
livestock to. packing- houses today.
This was the largest amount received
in any one day this week. The re
ceipts were 2500 cattle, 4000 hogs and
1000 sheep.
About 25,000 men were idle at the
stockyards for lack of livestock to
slaughter.

Railroad employes of the val

not to strike.
Three thousand employes of
the Pennsylvania railroad shops
at Fort Wayne, Ind., on etrike
since April 1, returned to work.
12 railroads were receiving dead
freight for shipment. Most of the
lines still had a ban against perish
able shipments. Express was taken
by the American Railway Express
company for all but 13 states.
Blast Fnriat Are Banked.
Nine of 12 blast furnaces at Gary,
Ind.. have been banked because of
lack of raw materials, and 12,000
workers are idle.
"All indications were that the crisis
of the strike of switchmen in the
Chicago yards is definitely past," a
statement issued tonight by railroads
affected by the walkout said.
Vice-President Whitney of the
trainmen's brotherhood announced to
night that a group of switchmen re
turned to work on the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy railroad. Switch
men on the Wabash and the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul also returned
to work, union heads said.
Switchtrnder In Expelled.
E. S. Estey, a switchtender, was
expelled from the Chicago Yardmen's
association tonight. Officers of the
new union said he demanded radical
strike methods at a meeting last
night.
The strike kad become a clear-
cut fight between the recognized rail
road organizations and the radical
element among the rail workers.
brotherhood officers said. The broth
erhoods' assertion that freight traffic
in Chicago was 50 pre cent of nor
mal was countered by the rebels' as
sertion that the tieup had become
more nearly complete.
The question of wages and hours
had become a secondary importance,
according io John Grunau, president
of the Chicago Yardmen's association.
which called the original walkout.
"The fight has become one of
supremacy between the new and the
old unions," Grunau said. "We rail
road men are tired of receiving noth
ing but promises from our leaders.
We demand results."
An optimistic statement was issued
today by the Western General Man
agers' association, composed of man
agers of all roads entering Chicago.
Train Move an Unnnl. v
"The strike in Chicago showed fur
ther improvement today," said the
statement. "All the railroads are
handling all their passenger and sub
urban trains as usual. On several
roads there was a further increase
in the number of switching crews
working, and on none of the roads
was there a decrease. Labor brother
hoods continue to bring in members
of their organizations from outside
points to fill the places of the strik
ers, and there is good reason to be
lieve conditions in the Chicago dis
trict will continue to improve rap
idly within the next few days.
In the Kiew lorx area rauroaa oi-
ficers and union leaders were making
efforts to break the strike, and, al
though conditions were reported to
bo improving, the situation was still
considered serious.
In. the St. Louis district, including
East St. Louis- and Madison, 111., an
embargo on all incoming and out
going freight traffic was ordered.
Yardmen on 27 roads were on strike.
All railroads In Kansas City oper
ating under contracts with the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen were
affected. An embargo was declared
on incoming freight and packing
plants curtailed their output from 50
to 7o per cent.
Peace Advocate Shot.
One switchman was shot and sev
eral slugged at meetings of the strik
ing, railroad men last night, police
learned today. ,
John Krlntz, a striker, who pro
posed that the men return to work,
was shot, it was reported. He wa3
spirited away in an automobile by
friends.
Sabotage and violence were advo
cated by one of the speakers, E. C.
Esty, an organizer who participated
in the Gary steel strike and several
labor disturbances- here.
"They call me a rebel," he told the
strikers. "I'm proud to be a rebel.
In 1910 I had "charge of a railroad
strike in the Twin cities Minneapolis
and St. Paul. The men all went out
and stayed out.
Trntn Wrecking Admitted.
"I went down to the I. W. W. head
quarters and got some help. Then
one day four passenger trains were
wrecked. The next day seven freight
trains were wrecked. Then we sent
word to the railroads that if they
didn't come across, we d tear down the
roundhouse. They didn't answer we
did. The roundhouse was torn down
"Then the railroads begged for
mercy and asked to meet us. We told
them to come to us. There .was a
meeting. The union drew up a con
tract and the railroad refused it.
The next day we blew up a bridge.
That night an ice jam formed in the
river and ton down the rest of the
bridge, bo they don't know to this day
who did the job. But we won the
strike.

the mails. I got off light because 1

and switchmen over the country had

officials, W. G. Lee, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.

republican of Ohio, today asking
whether present laws "apply to rene
gade organizations or those inciting
illegal strikes."
Mr. Cooper, who is a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers, took the matter up with
acting Attorney-General Ames and
was told that while the depart
ment of justice was watching the sit
uation, it had no statement to make.
Before this telegram was received
the senate had adopted without a
record vote Senator McCormlck'3
resolution directing the interstate
commerce committee to ' investigate
all strikes of railroad employes not
sanctioned by the responsible officers
of the unions. Chairman Cummins of
the interstate commerce committee
