TITE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, 3fAT 1.2, 1920 13 DEMOCRATS CT WILSON-BRYAN FIGHT Telegram Said. to Presage Convention Contest. EXECUTIVE IS SUSPECTED That Third Term May Be Sought Is Btlieved Lik;y Xebfaskau Has Iarge Following. That there will be a figrht for con trol of the democratic national con vention at San Francisco between President Wilson and William Jen- nines Bryan is the belief of a number of leadincr democrats in Oregon. They argue that this fight is presaged by Mr. Wilson's telegram to county 4 'hntrmn n Hamaker declaring: that the Versailles version of the league of nations should be adopted. There is also a suspicion that Mr. Wilson, If he can gain control of the convention, may aspire to be nomi nated for a third term. The idea of a third term is abhorrent to prac tically all of the democrats in Ore Son, especially among democrats who take an active part in the politics of their party. Among Oregon democrats there Is a large and loyal following of Mr. Bryan. The following is believed to be considerably larger than the dem ocrats who prefer Mr. Wilson's ideas. Until about two years ago, Mr. Wil son's administration was never ques tioned by local democrats, but of late there are democrats who are bold enough to think that the president has made some mistakes. Since the celebrated dinner at Washington a few months ago, when Mr. Brvan declared that the league of rations should be ratified, even by compromise, by the senate, and at the very time when Mr. Wilson wrote a letter holding out for his own ver sion of the covenant, there has been - predicted a struggle between these two leaders for supremacy at San Francisco. According to Mr. Bryan's advice, Senator Chamberlain voted In a man ner satisfactory when he supported the Lodjre reservation, but according to Mr. Wilson's telegram to Mr. Hama ker. Senator Chamberlain voted en tirely wrong. Because of Mr. Bryan's attitude and because of his many fol lowers in Oregon, the Wilson wire to Hamaker may not prove as effective against rnator Chamberlain as Mr. Hamaker and his associate enemies of Chamberlain hope for. And an other thing, among the candidates for delegates to the national convention there is a preponderance of democrats who are old-time Bryan supporters, and if It comes to a showdown be tween Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryan, they very likely would throw their weight to the Nebraskan. The politicians of both parties are awakening to the fact that the Ham a ker message forecasts Mr. Wilson's determination to make, the league of nations the party issue. And if Mr. Bryan has the top hand at San Fran cisco there will be other paramount issues than the league. JOnXSO.V DROPS DIRECTOR Albert Abraham Gets Cold Shoul - der Alter Race Announcement. Albert Abraham of Roseburg has been given the cold shoulder by the Johnson management in Oregon, and in California, too, since he announced himself as a candidate tor the re publican candidate for United States senator on an anti-league of na tions platform. Upto the time Mr, Abraham filed his candidacy, he was the Douglas county director of the Johnson campaign, and he .had been asked to introduce Senator Johnson when the latter was expected to cam paign personally in Oregon. Now it Is all over between the Johnson management and Mr. Abra ham, and although Mr. Abraham doesn't like the league of nations any more than does Senator Johnson, the management of the latter declines, firmly but positively, to liave Mr, Abraham hooked up with the senator. Four years ago, Mr. Abraham forced the name of C. E. Hughes on the republican primary ballot In Ore son which was the opening wedge in bringing about the nomination of Mr. Hughes at Chicago.
