THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JUNE 28, 1920 FiGH SQUELCH no GLASS IS INDEFINITE Administration Opposition Re fuses to Tip Hand. WESTERNERS AID WALSH Senator From Montana Main Con tender Against Virginian for Office of Convention. BAN FRANCISCO, Cai-. June 27. The fight aeainet (Senator Glass of Virginia, the administration's choice for chairman of tne resolutions com mittee, remained indefinite tonight, but was attracting Increasing atten tion In convention goisip. Administration leaders declared there was no doubt of the outcome and some of them even asserted that the movement against Senator Glass would collapse entirely before the committee meets late tomorrow to organise. Those active in the opposi tion were less positive in their claims, but they declared it was a real fight. Support Given Walsh. , Senator Walsh of Montana", who re jected President Wilson's advice and voted la'st March for ratification of the peace treaty with the republican res ervations, was the candidate urged against the Virginia senator. A group of western delegates seemed to form the backbone of the Walsh move ment, but those in charge -of it con ceded they were making their fight under cover and said they did not eare to tip their hand by revealing who had promised support. William Jennings Bryan expected to be the center of platform disputes in the committee, said he had no can didate for (he chairmanship. He pre viously has advocated Senator Walsh's selection as permanent chairman of the convention, however, and the gen eral prediction was that if a roll call were taken in the committee he would line up against Senator Glass. Chairman Ktght Dies. The movement to make the Mon tana senator permanent chairman ap parently has been abandoned, though it was said that some eastern states which might have supported him for that place probably would not be for him for the resolutions chairmanship. Advocates of Senator Walsh's can didacy to head the committee insisted that the fight was not essentially an anti-administration one and that his selection would not necessarily mean overturning the administration pro gramme of declaring for the peace treaty without destructive reserva tions. They declare they were con ducting their whole campaign on the basis of the personal qualification the two men. AND HIS SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER LOOKING RIGHT AT HIM.

NEW YORK, June 27, (Special.) Twenty-three prisoners fill the Sing Sing death house. One of them snores and the others have trouble in getting to sleep. The man who snores Is Sam Michalow. He was known as "Sam, the Landlord" in New York. He was convicted of the murder of a woman in Yonkers done by men whom he sent to rob her. He goes to sleep first every night and the other men in the death house sometimes have to wake him up to get to sleep themselves. So they have asked the warden to put Sam in the old death house as soon as another man is condemned to die. The warden refuses to use the old death house when there's room in the new one. MARSHALL IS SPONSORED Former Delaware Senator Declares for Vice-President. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., June 27 Former Senator Saulsbury of Dela ware came out for Vice-President Marshall today as the most available man for the presidential nomination. He predicted a deadlock for McAdoo, Cox and Palmer. Senator Saulsbury said the vice president would be placed in nomi nation and his name kept before the convention to the end of the balloting. RAINIER MILLS TO CLOSE Dullness of Lumber Market Causes 3 0-Day Shut Down. RAINIER, Or., June 27 (Special.) The Menefee Lumber mill announces that they will close for 30 days next Wednesday. The reason given is dullness of the lurnber market, the lumber costing more than can.be realized for it. PURDY VOTE FOR M'ADOO Conllnued From first P e. ) Thomson, was elected vice-chairman of the delegation. A majority of the Btate s votes may . be cast for the for mer speaker, delegates said, on open ing convention ballots. Election of Senator J. O. Wolcott as national committeeman and member of the resolutions committee from pelaware was announced by the state . delegation today. Benjamin A, Hanoll was elected chairman of the delegation. State leaders said moet of the Dela ware votes would go to McAdoo in nomination balloting. . The Mississippi delegation decided to cast its first vote for Senator John Sharp Williams for president. Moat delegates were sjid to favor Cox on subsequent ballots. The Maine caucus took no action on candidates or platform. The enemies here of Bryan and of prohibition claim that this creates an issue between Bryan and Wilson, and hope that it will cause administration strength here to be cast Irt the bal ance against Bryan's proposal. But Bryan contends that an accurate un derstanding of the circumstances and reasons for Wilson's veto of the Vol stead act will show that his plank does not create an issue against the president. Bryan Wanted on Arid Plank. Anyhow, Bryan doesn't care. He is for a 100 per cent dry plank, and he proposes to fight it through. He may achieve success or he may achieve martyrdom, and he doesn't much care which. Speaking of martyrdom, the most amusing sidelight on Bryan's dry fight comes from one of the wet leaders. With an air of disgusted ap prehension of defeat, he said, "it we are going to be forced to tcke the dryest possible position in the plat form, then we might as well be con sistent and name the dryest possible candidate. If Bryan forces the dem ocratic party to adopt a dry plank. tnen we ll make him take the nom ination for the presidency." He. said it with the air of visiting tne most cruel and unusual of punish ments on the most undesirable of human beings. Of course, the remark carried implications of slaughtering Jtsryan at the polls in November. Divorce Discussion Resented. The friends of Governor Cox bitterly resent the discussion that has gone on for a week among the delegates and leaders and that has now crept into print, about the fact of their can didate's divorce and remarriage while his first wife is yet living as a con sideration affecting his availability. The governors friends and mana gers are so passionately committed to his fortunes and are so passionate in their certainty that the facts of the divorce constitute no reflection on him that they are unable to see things in any other than in the lights of loyalty and friendship. They are un able to see it impersonally. They can't be made to see any other point of view than their obligation to defend their friend and leader against what they feel is, and what probably is, a wholly unjust implication. But the leaders, who are in a posi tion to be impersonal about it, say this episode. In Its bearing on naming a candidate for the presidency, has two lights, wholly impersonal to Gov ernor Cox. First is the light of expediency and second is the light of merit. On the point of expediency It is idle to deny that large numbers of persons have convictions or emotions on divorce and remarriage such as. would lead them to vote according to those con victions and emotions. On this re stricted ground Governor Cox' posi tion puts him definitely under one of these handicaps which everybody knows to exist. It Is, If you care to put it that way, like being a member of the Catholic church. Every politician knows that in run ning for a national office in which the appeal must be madi for votes in every state and territory of the coun try as a whole to be a Catholic is a handicap which will certainly lose a large number of votes. This handicap is illustrated right here and now. The Dresent democratic governor of New York lsa Catholic and there Is not a politician here or anywhere but read ily realizes that the position of a pop ular and successful governor of New York would make that governor not only an available but extremely de sirable candidate for the presidency. The fact that Governor Smith is barely mentioned is due chiefly to the fact that he is a Catholic. That this constitutes a handicap is so widely known that it is taken for granted. We all know that people ought not to have that kind of prejudice, but we all know that some people do have it. Cox Is More Handicapped. As a matter of fact. Governor Cox' handicap is more clear and definite than the wholly expedient religious handicap of Governor Smith. There is an intangible but nevertheless real merit in the objection to Goverm r Cox as a candidate for the presi dency. The president of the United States is not only the chief executive of the country's business, he is also sup posed to be, in a sense, the embodi ment and the symbol of our national ideals, of our national traditions and of our national way of looking at things. A president has this func tion just as a king has it abroad. It is the functions of being a symbol and personal embodiment 'of his peo ple's traditions and points of view. That American traditions do not In clude divorce and remarriage, there can be no doubt. ' Large numbers and wide varieties of persons, who com pletely condone divorce and remar riage in an individual and who would vehemently oppose any discrimination against the individual because of It, would, on the other hand, prefer that there would not be such a definite affirmation of national acceptance of divorce and remarriage as woulJ be involved in putting into the White House a candidate who has had that experience, when It is entirely pos sible to choose other candidates of relatively equal worth who have net happened to have this experience. No one would like to see a campaign con cern itself in any degree with such issues as this, but it would be a) likely to arise in the campaign as It ha arisen now. 10 WOMEN ARE NAMED REPUBLICANS OF WASHINGTON GIVE SEX MAJOR ROLE. here last ntght. The funeral was held today. Clark was 27 years of age. He was born In Centralia and lived here until four years ago, when ha moved to Seattle. He is survived by hi widow, bis father, Howell Clark of this city. an two sisters, Mrs. Neva Norman of this city and Mrs. Enid Guy of Uncas. Wash. President Forfeits Privacy. There are reasons of taste which make It strongly repugnant to large numbers of people to participate in, or even to be compelled to look on at, any allusion or discussion of any thing so private and personal as a divorce Is. That the president of the United States, or a candidate for president forfeits many of the rights of privacy that others have and that the details of the president's family life become immediately a matter of public comment, Is universally known. The fact that this episode has already come to the front is a proof of it. These are the factors that influence many of the leaders who regret that this episode has been thrust into the situation. They fully concede the complete Impracticability of Governor Cox position, but they shrink a little from naming a candidate who would entail this kind of discussion at all. That the discussion could not be avoided is proved by what has al ready arisen here. Way Is Paved for Participation in Politics in State on Largest Scale In Its History. SEATTLE. Wash..

If it turns out that he is willing to do omethlng- for the boys, it may be different, but your democrat' wants to know at least that the candidate can carry his own precinct. Bryan would be willing, but the arty knows that it can be beaten with Bryan just as well any other time. Senator Owen looks the part, but Oklahoma Is geographically the terra ncognlta. which being interpreted, means the lunatic fringe. If Edwards is mentioned, it merely hows that your memory is good, tor Edwards has several times mentioned himself as a candidate. Colby Called Political Hermoa, Balnbrldge Colby is here, but po litically he has been here, there and everywhere. Did not Jimmy Montague say of him, when asked if Colby was a good party man. that you might as well ask If Brlgham Young was a good family man. He's tried 'em all. South Dakota seems somehow to want James W. Gerard, but the move ment has stalled at the boundaries of that state. There are others, but they all be long to the numerous class of won't do's. Logically none of them should be nominated and politically only one can be nominated. Thus we come back to McAdoo. ITe Alls the bill, in the minds of many here. He is dry, he is acceptable to labor; he has a public -ecord which can be commended, and he Is of pre i- dential size, or as near it as any other mentioned here. The one great draw back is that he Is a presidential son- in-law. It s admitted to be a grave objection, but it is urged that he has met all reasonable critic. tm by him self seeking to break the line of fam tly succession In trying to keep out of the race. The argument on that point may. or may not, be sufficient. It will be something that every voter must consider for himself later. If McAdoo should be nominated. To me it is a sufficient reason why McAdoo and every other hereafter in his po sition shoufd be barred, for it Is a dangerous and even hazardous prac tlce. But to the democrats. It may present itself differently. MeAdoa Strength Apparent. The responsibility and the risk are theirs. The potential strength of Mc Adoo here is undeniable. The under current is for him.
