HANDS OFF, ERIN'S PLEA 'Continued From First Page.) peoples can work out their own in ternal political salvation without economic ruin to Irish interests. If it be true that it takes two to make a quarrel, there is in this genera tion no quarrel between England and Ireland, for the present generation of Englishmen has steadfastly refused to quarrel with Ireland.

Kiita, Mini NEBRASKA the Irish quetsion, is convinced that now the only hope of ending that century-old distemper Is to place fairly and squarely on the shoulders of Irishmen in Ireland the constitu tional responsibility of finding for themselves within the framework of the British empire the solution for their political difficulties. Stand Aside Policy I rged. "The new home-rule bill, which passed its second reading in the Brit ish house of commons by a great ma jority on March 31. is desiirne with the- intention to secure that end. When It becomes operative it will be the auty or all British subjects who are not domiciled In Ireland to stand aside and leave those who live there to solve their problems. I venture to add it will also be helpful if the many In all parts of the world who are not British subjects, but are in terested In Ireland, likewise stand aside and leave the Irish in Ireland to grapple with their own political difficulties. . ... ..... . . "It should, I think, be known that proposals, for the secession of Ireland from the British empire have been submitted to the British cabinet, but as announced by the prime minister In the house of commons have been rejected. A sufficient reason, though only one of many, is that strategical ly the British Isles form one unit for purposes of defense. British Alms Defended. "I have seen It stated that the Brit ish government is pursuing a pro bolshevik policy dictated by purely selfish British ends with regard to trade with Russia. That really is not so. The British government has frankly expressed the belief that un til Russia comes once more into the circle of the producing and trading nations the economic conditions of the world and the cost of living cannot be placed upon a normal footing any where. I am glad to be able to say that the American and British govern ments have been in cordial consulta tion on this matter and are together considering what steps ' should be taken to seucre a reopening of trade with that great country, not in the interests of the traders of any single nation, but of the economic conditions of the world. "I am glad to be back in America, where I have in tlie past found so many friends. I sincerely admire the great qualities of the American peo ple. I know well of what idealism they are capable. I am. of course, British and am here, not for favors, but to represent the interests of the many nations of the British empire; still I hope that will not prevent the American people regarding me, when they know me. as a friend who. when "his duty to his own peoples is done. win esteem it a rare privilege if he is able in any way whatever to serve the interests of the great nation among whom it is his lot to find for a time, and I hope it may bt for a long time, a home."

WOOD AiLOWDl LEAD THREE STATES Wisconsin, West Virginia and Vermont Sounded. ALL HAVE FAVORITE SONS Democrats Muddled in Choice of Presidential Timber McAdoo lias Big Following. (Copyright by the New York Herald Com pany. All rights reserved.) NEW YORK, April 19. (Special.) Based on the poll of the-county chair mfen of Wisconsin taken by the Sun and New York Herald the first choice of the-republicans of that state for the presidential nomination is Major General Leonard Wood. The second choice is Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. This is the way the percentages ran In the "first choice" column: Wood, 33.3: Lowden. 13.3; LaFollette, 13.2; Senator Irvine L. Lenroot, 13.3; John son, 6 66; Charles E. .Hughes, 6.66; Herbert Hoover, 6.66. :v.d Governor Philipp, 6.66. This was the result in percentages In the "second choice" column: Low den, 26.66;. Wood, 23.33; LaFollette, 13.33; Johnson. 10; Governor Calvin Coolidge. 6.66; William Howard Taft, 6.66; Hoover. 6.66; none. 6.66. As the combined "first choice" and "second choice" percentages of Low den was 40 to 26.66 for LaFollette, the former is entitled to the place in the second choice column of the table. La Kollctte VIetory Denied. With complete and official returns from all except a few counties in the state, the primary vote stands: La Follette slate Thompson, 99.696; Blaine. 96,042; Gross, 91,479; Krumrey, 90,164. Uninstructed slate Philipp, 60,7:2; Hatton, 54,09r; West, 49,642; Bosshard, 49.53C. "The conservative wing of the party asserts that it is in no sense a La Fol lette victory," writes a correspondent. "The voting strength of the state is 550,000. while the high man polled less than 100,000 votes. It seemed evident that many of the small per centage of the voters who went to the polls because of municipal elec tions paid no attention to the sepa rate ballot for delegates to the na tional convention." One of the chairmen made the as sertion that "many republicans of all classes would vote for Edwards." the "wet" champion in the democratic party. .Another asserted that Presi dent Wilson was the popular candi date among the democrats "because he vetoed the Volstead enforcement act." McAdoo, Palmer, Bryan, Governor Cox of Ohio, Hoover and even Robert Lansing all received mention by the republican chairman as democratic choices in the various counties. The democratic national delegate will go to San Francisco without in struction. However, President Wil son is strongly intrenched in Wiscon sin, and if he should be a candidate there Is no 'oubt he would get the 26 delegates from that state. McAdoo has a big following, according to the special correspondence. States Have Favorite Sons. Both Vermont and' West Virginia have "favorite sons" for the republi can presidential nomination, as indi cated try the polls of the county chairmen in those states. In the Green Mountain state Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, who was born in Plymouth, Vt., is the first choice. Major-General Leonard Wood is the second choice. United States Senator Sutherland of Elkins. West Virginia, is first choice of the republicans cf that state,' according to the county chair men. The second, choice is Frank O. Lowden. governor of Illinois. Sentiment for Herbert Hoover is said to be on the increase cmong the people in bcth states in last-minute reports from special correspondents of the Sun and New York Herald. Both states have presidential pri maries Vermont on May 18 and West Virginia on May 25. The last day for filing io the former state Is April 26 and in the latter April 25. Coolidge Vermont Choice. In the Vermont poll Governor Coolidge got two-thirds of all the first choice, the other third going to Wood. In the second-choice column tfcis ratio was just reversed between Coolidge and Wood. Although third choices were not called for on the poll blank a number of them were cast, being divided equally between Governor Lowden of Illinois rnd Sen ator Johnson. The percentages in the "first choice" column in West Virginia ran as .follows: Sutherland. 46.6; Lowden, 26.6; Wood, 20; Harding, 6.66. There was greater range of sentiment in the "second choice" column, .the per centages being divided among these candidates as follows: Wood, 26.6; Lowden, 20; Harding, 20; Johnson, 10; Coolidge, 6.66; Sutherland, 6.66; Sena tor Knox of Pennsylvania, 6.66: Gen eral John J. Pershing. 3.33. If Sutherland- were eliminated the "second choice" votes, in cases where ha was first, should be made first choices. . With this adjustment the "first choice" percentages would make Lowden a clear leader, with General Wood coming in as second choice. The figures would be: Low den." 40; Wood. 26.6; Harding. 20; Coolidge, 6.66; Pershing, S.31; Knox. 3.33. According to the testimony of the republican leaders William G. Mc Adoo seems to be the choice of the Vermont democrats for the presiden tial nomination. In West Virginia the democrats want William Jennings Bryan, the republicans say, although the democratic organization has for mally indorsed John W. Davis, ambas sador to the court of St. James' by way of honoring a favorite son. Gov ernor Cornwall of West Virginia also is a favorite for the nomination among the democrats of that state. NEW CUSSES STARTED "CASEY" OITERS COURSE FOR : SHIPPING CLERKS. Another Course In Automobile Me- i chanics Will Be Begun to Meet -Demands of Ex-Service Men. .Two new classes are to be started shortly at the free evening school at 290 Grand avenue North maintained by the Knights of Columbus for the benefit of the former soldiers, sailors and marines, it was announced by J. P. O'Hara, principal, last night. One of the classes will be in shipping clerk work while the second will be in automobile mechanics. Thie latter class will be the third in this subject to be started, so great has been the demand of the ex-service men for in struction along gasoline engine lines. The automobile mechanics class will start in two weeks and the other one will also start soon, although the date has not been set. Considerable demand is being ex perienced for shipping clerks, and for this reason the officials of the school here have decided to put a course at the disposal of the service men. A large registration is expected. Ex service men interested in either of these classes or in any other of the many classes maintained by the Knights of Columbus committee on war activities here may register at once either at the school or at the "Casey" employment bureau at room 205 Beck building.

Finn, had processed suf ficiently by last week to pass the ex aminations for radio operator's li cense, arjd left yesterday for Seattle to Join Alaska fishing vessels to which they had already been assigned in charge of the wireless equipment. Evening schools for the former service men may be established short ly in Boise and Salt Lake, according to J. J. Gorman of Seattle, district supervisor.
