THE MOIiNTXG OREGOXIAX. THURSDAY. JUNE 24, 1920 OREGON DELEGATES STILL UiELEASED McAdoo's Silence on Point Causes Comment. swer did you get?" I inquired of &r. Gibboney. "He told me to go to hell," was the reply. BR VAX MAKING PREDICTIONS TAMMANY TALKING LiTTLE wards Shoutcr Feds Encouraged at Stand Taken ty Postmaster General Burleson. ABOARD THE OVERLAND LIM ITED. OGDES, Utah. June 23. (Spe cial.) McAdoo or Marshall, so the signs read as -viewed from this train which might be called the William Gibbs McAdoo special because it is carrying- to San Francisco Stuart G Gibboney, who is authorized to derail the McAdoo candidacy. Mr. Gibboney, however. Is the only McAdoo man on this train who talks about stopping the McAdoo boom, and sometimes I wonder if he is in earn est about it. Failure of news dis patches in today's papers to record any action of Mr. McAdoo releasing the ten Oregon delecrates, th'e only delegation under definite instruc tions to support him,, caused his friends themselves to doubt if he meant what he said when he sent a telegram of withdrawal a few days ago to Jouett Shouse of Kansas. Last Saturday, when several of his New York friends left for the conven tion. Mr. McAdoo assured them, they Bay. that he intended setting free the Oregon delegation but up to this hour they have received no indication of any such move. It is McAdoo or Marshall, the McAdoo men all say, but all of them name their own choice first. Only One Copy Carrie. One significant fact is that, while the McAdoo representative is carry ing to San Francisco only one copy of the McAdoo withdrawal telegrams sent to Shouse, he has scores of extra copies of the letter written by Mr. McAdoo last February to A. Milledge ville. a Georgia man, saying that "I would regard it as the Imperative duty of any man to accept a nomina tion if it should come to him unso licited." The prospects, therefore, are that many a delegate will have his mem ory refreshed as to the Milledgeville letter who will never hear again of the Shouse telegram. There arc two men whom It is very apparent the McAdoo boosters are against. One is Governor Cox of Ohio for the presi c.cntial nomination. They are also opposed to giving any more authority into the hand of Homer S. Cummings, the national chairman. I am told by a McAdoo leader that Cummings is a "reactionary" and a "designing politician." This feeling toward the national chairman is intensified further by Chairman Cummings having taken to himself the honor of calling the con mention to order and delivering the keynote address. It is clear that if McAdoo fails Jiis supporters intend doing every thing In their power to beat Cox. In turning to Marshall they see a chance to take some New "York sup port away from the Ohloan because Marshall has considerable following In that section of the country and Is not objectionable to Tammany. Joseph F. S. Fitzpatrick, assistant Tnanager of the campaign of Gov ernor Edwards of New Jersey, who with two or three other Edwards shouters has been keeping under cover on this trip, could not contain him self today when the morning- news papers told of Postmaster-General Burleson's declaration for hamstring ing the Volstead prohibition enforce ment act. Kdvrard Mas Feels Easier. "That is water on our wheel," said Mr. Fitzpatrick. "Burleson is simply indorsing the Edwards position in this campaign. This makes it easier." Bourke Cochran, Morgan J. O'Brien and other noted Tammany men on this train decline to be drawn into any discussion of candidates. All they know is that they are against McAdoo and that they are going to San Fran cisco to resist the threatened efforts of Franklin Roosevelt and other Mc Adoo men to upset the unit rule, by which several McAdoo men on the New York delegation are about to be V forced to vote with the majority for Cox or some one else. The Tammany fellows were pleased with the Burleson wet. statement. Bourke Cochran is to be the New York member of the resolutions committee, which will place him where he can make a fight for an Irish plank in the platform. Former Senator James Hamilton Lewis is keeping on good terms with the friends of all the presidential can didates. Jim Ham took keen pleasure in telling everybody in his car this morning how a Chicago minister, bit terly opposed to him, has indorsed his vice-presidential candidacy. Lew is an ideal candidate for vice-presi dent," the minister was quoted a saying, "because he represents vice of all the presidents. Another lie . nailed Jim Ham does not do his hair up on kid curlers at night, as reported. A committee com posed of Stuart G. Gobboney. Bourke Cochran and two disinterested person was named to visit Jim Ham at his berth last night and investigate. They tried to be fair, they said in their re port exonerating the former senator and Beau BrummeL He said he let them take his hair out under the light and examine it to make sure of the facts. Throats Parched in Desert. The Edwards' party grows bolder as the train gets further into the desert and. taking advantage of the parched gcondition of several throats, it is not inconceivable that some delegates may be inveigled into pledging their votes to the "wet" candidate from New Jer sey under the stress of terrible cir cumstances created by the combina tion of sand, coal dust and the Vol stead act. Mr. Gibboney. the McAdoo repre sentative, got in long-distance com munication with the leader of the Alabama delegation from a point along the line for the purpose of re questing the Alabamans not to press the McAdoo nomination. "What an. Peace Treaty, Profiteers and Iilquor Likely to Cause Trouble. LINCOLN. Neb., June 23. Predic tion that the democratic national con vention at San Francisco will witness fights over the peace treaty, the prof iteer and the liquor issue Is made in an article by W. J. Bryan in his news paper, the Commoner. After declaring that the convention fights are likely to be over these questions, Mr. Bryan says the chances are in favor of ratification of the treaty, with reservations, and against the profiteer and the saloon. "The overwhelming opposition to the policy of ratification without res ervations as shown by the vote at the primaries," he asserts, "will prob ably defeat any effort to make the treaty an issue in the campaign." The article also says the democratic Tiistrnrm la xcrtsiin to declare against universal compulsory military train ing; that the convention will nave io deal with the subject of "private monopoly"; that the democratic party will "insist upon the toilers' right to equal treatment," and that woman suffrage will be indorsed. Discussing possible democratic can didates for the presidency, the article declares that former Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo is hand icapped as a candidate "by his close relationship with the president," while President Wilson himself, he says. "need not be considered." Asserting that Mr. McAdoo is also handlcanDed bv "his silence on the peace treaty." Mr. Bryan declares Mr. McAdoo is unable to call to his sup port "those to whom the president s candidacy appealed with special force" and that he would "furnish an easy ark for all of the president s ene mies.". The article says, however, that Mr. McAdoo has considerable strength among wage earners. Referring to President Wilson, Mr. Bryan says that, "while vague hints and suggestions have been thrown out occasionally, no one claiming to speak . for the president or near enough to him to be assumed to ex press his wishes has announced his candidacy." Herbert Hoover is eliminated from the list o.f candidates whom Mr. Bryan considers "available," while Senator Owen of Oklahoma and Secretary of Agriculture Meredith are described as being "among the few available men thus far mentioned." To be avail able this year. Mr. Bryan asserts, a candidate must be known to be for woman suffrage, for prohibition and "against Wall street." As to Attorney-General Palmer, Mr. Bryan says he entered the campaign in a position "to deal sternly with the profiteer and an expectant public stood ready to applaud, but the prof iteer seems to have things all his own way and the attorney-general is now suffering from the reaction." He adds that the attorney-general is "unfor tunate," too. in having to espouse the ratification of the treaty without res ervations. Former Speaker Clark of the house of representatives is mentioned as having his own state behind him while opposition to Governor Edwards of New Jersey and Governor Cox of Ohio is reiterated. Governor Cox' friends, the article declares, will urge him as a com promise between the wets of the Ed wards type and the "bone drys." Vice-President Marshall is accused of making "a feeble bid for the wet vote." "Judge Gerard's candidacy has South Dakota's support and he has many personal friends among other delegates," Mr. Bryan says. UNITY ASSURED, SAY REPUBLICAN CHIEFS Solid Front Against Demo crats Established. - PARTY LEADERS SANGUINE DELEGATES WAXT WET PIANK Tammany Pleased at Defeat of Representative. Volstead. LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 23. Tammany delegates to the democratic national convention at San Francisco, breaking the monotony of a trans continental trip by a day in Los An geles, today declared themselves in favor of the manufacture of light wines and beers and pleased at the defeat of Representative A. J. Vol stead for renomination as the repub lican candidate from the seventh con gressional district of Mnnesota. "Young man, ald James J. Hagin, New' York City fire commissioner and Tammany delegate, addressing a newspaper Interviewer, the demo cratic platform will be concise, pre cise and explicit. "There will be a wet plank in that platform the people of the country favor a wet plank a plank providing for the manufacture of light wines and beer." "Yes, indeed," agreed Charles W. Culkln, also a New York City fire commissioner and also a delegate, "the people of the United States have had enough of positive prohibition. Mr. Culkln and Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvillier predicted the democratic convention would pledge itself to a soldiers' bonus. Mr. Hagin predicted a plank favor ing equal suffrage would be adopted in "unmistakable terms." He declared "too much talk of a third term would result in a plank for one term of six years. "Poor losers always discuss new parties." he said. Members of the delegation laughed when they heard of the Indictment of Charles F. Murphy, Tammany leader, by an extraordinary grand jury in New York. "That's fine," they exclaimed "We're used to indictments. We have them for breakfast, dinner and sup per. Every Group in Great Organization Represented iu Executive Com mittee Just Appointed. WASHINGTON, June 23. Senator Harding, republican presidential nom inee, continued his conference with republican leaders today, discussing with them plans for his campaign and subjects with which he will deal in his speech of acceptance. William Cooper Proctor of Cincin nati,. manager for . Major-General Leonard Wood in his campaign for the presidential nomination, wrote the senator promising his loyal sup port. senator Harding today received a letter from Theodore Roosevelt Jr., congratulating him on his nomination. Republican leaders generally ex pressed approval today of the per sonnel of the executive committee which will conduct the party's presi dential campaign. Twenty-one mem bers, including, seven women, will constitute the committee and the names of 20 of these were announced last night by Chairman Hays of the national committee. The one name, eaid to be that of a national committeeman, was omitted because Mr. Hays had not had time to communicate with the appointee. Leaders claimed that every group of the party is represented in the committee membership and that this amalgamation insures' harmony with in, and a solid front against the dem ocrats, there was no statement as to what the committee's immediate plans are, or when or where activities will be initiated. JOHNSON TO CONTINUE AVAR "Traitors to Be Held Up to Public Obloquy aud Scorn." LINCOLN, Neb.. June 23. Frank A. Harrison of Lincoln, manager for Senator Hiram Johnson's Nebraska presidential preference campaign, who recently charged that "the treachery and desertion of the dele gates from instructed states broke the heart of the Johnson movement," today made public a personal note' from the senator in which the latter says he wishes to take steps to "hold up to deserved public obloquy and scorn" those who he said "broke faith" at Chicago. Senator Johnson said he was going to do this in every state where the "crime" was done, "so that the peo ple may be protected in the future when they express their choice for president."
