OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU,
Washington. Jan. 31. Activity on all
fronts and a general consolidate
positions are apparent at the end
the first week of real fighting in

for Dresident. The battle has reached
ahe point where men prominent in the gjf ATOJl

y The most important development
kf the week was the retirement of
i he favorite sons, leaving the way

f- icolore what was heretofore forbid
t,on territory under the ethics of the
came. General Wood landed his
forces in Indiana yesterday immedi
atelv UDon the announcement of Gov
ernor Goodrich's retirement from the
eontest. and Governor Lowden and
Senator Harding got busy in the
Hoosier state today.
Harding Has Hoosler Friends.
Hardinir onened his campaign for
the Indiana delegation by giving out
from his headquarters in this city a
declaration of support from Will R.
Wood, who represents the big agrl
cultural and manufacturing district
of northwestern Indiana, which ei
tends to the city limits Of Chicago.
Accomnanving this statement was the
claim that four other members of
congress from Indiana are coming
out for Harding and that they will
try to get their ten delegates to the
national convention for him.
Impartial observers were of the
epinion today that General Wood will
have possibly half of the noosier
delegation and that Low-den and
Harding will divide the rest. The
fight of Wood. Lowden and Harding
now centers in the big states, with
a hard fight being made by the for
mer two for the support of New torn
Wood leaders claim the edge In the
;Empire state, but there is nothing to
uphold this claim, and. on the other
hand, nothing to disprove it.
Kew York Leaders Quiet,
i The doubtful situation in New Tork
due largely to the neutrality main
lined so far by all the republican
headers of the state. Elihu Root is
understood to favor General Wood,
but 11 is known that Lowden will
have strong support among the busi
ness men of the city. Senator Wads
worth is keeping still because he has
to make a fight this year to retain
his seat in the Senate. Charles E.
Hughes, having had the support of
all the candidate four years ago. is
also silent.
The Plan of campaign for Wood In
Massachusetts was disclosed today by
a statement by Representative w. w.
Lufkin. who said that effort would
ba made to Instruct all of the 32 dis
trict delegates for W,ood, while the
four at large would be permitted to
go uninstructed. Former Senator
Sfurrav Crane will likely be one of
I the latter, and while he Is not talk
:, Ing candidates, he is suspected of fa
, coring Lowden.
, However, the middle west is at
i .racting more attention than any
i ther section. Strangely, political ob-
servers seem to be more interested in
' hearing from Nebraska. Iowa, Minne-
sota and Wisconsin than from the
! nates of the east which cast more
iotes. Hiram Johnson's unexpected
. Urength out that way complicates
i the situation somewhat.

Furthermore, the reclamation fund
is assured of receiving annually from
17,000.000 to $10,000,000 from the oil
hereafter produced from the public
lands. . The west is indebted to Rep
resentative Sinnott of Oregon for this
victory, because he stood out alone In
the conference committee against a
division of the funds which would
have given far less to reclamation.
Today's agreement was simply a sur
render to his single-handed demand,

Proposed Army Measure Would
Make President Peace Time Dic
tator, Minority Report Says
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The army
organization bill with its compulsory
military training provision reported
by the senate military committee not
only will cost the taxpayers more
than a billion dollars annually, but
will result in "militarism run mad,
said a minority report filed in the
senate today by Senator McKellar,
democrat, Tennessee.
The report, sail the measure, would
perpetuate the president's war now
ers and make him virtually a dictator
in peace times.
"The minority of the committee
submit," said the report, "that the
passage of the bill, carrying appro
priations which must come, will be to
institute in this country a military
system of the first order. Indeed, it
will be militarism run mad, a mili
tarism of the ultra-German type,
militarism never dreamed of by our
forefathers, a militarism that is
wholly unneccessary, a militarism
that cannot be defended, a militarism
that is wholly unjustifiable when we
look at our history and at our fu
ture."
Estimates made by Chairman
Wadsworth that the bill with the
compulsory military training plan
would not cost more than approxi
mately $600,000,000 annually were in
correct. Senators McKellar and Shep-
pard said, declaring the military es
tablishment would more nearly cost
11.314,143. 000 annually. :'

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Jan. 31. Wanted, a can
didate.
This expresses accurately the state
of the democratic mind. The confi
dence which possessed the party of
Jefferson when the armistice was
signed, and for several months there
after, is gone. At that time, to the
average democrat, the ticket was all
made up except to select a vice-presi
dential Candidate, and that, of course.
looked easy with former Senator Jim
Ham Lewis of Illinois out of a job
and free to run for anything.
The only question then was whether
the head of the ticket should be
Woodrow Wilson, as a third-term
candidate, or Ms sort -in-law, William
Gibbs McAdoo. In fact,' that present
ed no problem at all because father-
in-law and son-in-law could arrange
that between themselves. The presi
dent's tactless handling of the peace
treaty and the physical breakdown
which followed the realization that he
no longer could force his will upon
either the country or congress,' have
eliminated him.
Mr. Wilson's physical breakdown
Is not to be compared with the politi
cal collapse of Mr. McAdoo. The lat
ter s resignation as secretary of the
treasury and director-general of rail
roads, influenced by a desire to be
free of any responsibility for recon
struction policies Of the administra
tion which might not be popular, has
not proved the wise political move
which he contemplated at the time.
Mr, McAdoo Handicapped.
The unpopular policies have come.
but Mr. McAdoo, although cut loose
legally and officially from the Wilson
administration, finds it impossible to
get the public mind to disassociate
him from the acts of the government
in which he was so long conspicuous.
As McAdoo, private citizen, he is not
able to protect himself. As secretary
of the treasury he could find the ex
cuse to issue a daily public statement,
if he wished, on government station
ery, and it would receive the widest
publicity.
His favorite" method was to attack
somebody of prominence in the busi
ness or political world and thereby
create a sensation which would last
for several days while the public was
being regaled with denials and coun
ter attacks. Statements were easy to
make then because be had all of the
machinery of the government propa
ganda organization behind him. paid
for by his own voucher out of the pub
lic treasury, and willing, of course, at
all times to be good to the paymaster.
Public statements were not diffi
cult because the task amounted only
to signing some cleverly written Phil
ippic aimed broadside at whomsoever
he or bis pressagent - decided was
worthy of being barked at. If he
were attacked, it ws equally simple
to waro oir the blow. Any assault
upon him was the cunningly conceived
attack Of some insidious enemy of the
government upon the goyernment it
self. But it is not 'so any more, Mr,
McAdoo finds.
Sordid Facts Disclosed. '
When former admirers murmur that
he quit cold at, the time when the
country needed his services most
If his energies were ever worth the
common public appraisal- he cannot
reply that it is a mischievous attempt
of Wall street to undermine the gov
ernment. Experience warns him that
such a reply would make him ridicu
lous because what does Wall street
care about the goings and comings of
Charlie Chaplin s lawyer? When some
one in congress, unexpected to him.
uncovered the sordid fact that he and
three members of his family were
traveling about the country on free
railroad passes and free Pullman
tickets such as are denied to more
than 100,000,000 other citizens of the
United States, many of them less
prominent bnt all equally worthy, he
could not hurl back the charge of
pro-Germanism and be sure that the
public would not smile.
His candidacy is no longer seriously
discussed by his former party associ
ates and he is never consulted. Those
who bowed while he was the man of
many official titles, have gradually
shrunk away from him, and his fol
lowing now consists mainly of a few
treasury pets who still hope vainly
for his elevation to the presidency as
a means of their own promotion. .

The candidacy of Attorney-General
A. Mitchell Palmer is likewise stand
ing out on a sidetrack with demur
rags charges piling up every day.
But Palmer's case is different. He
has done the best he knew how and
has waded through mistakes and mis
givings neck-deep to earn for him
self the epitaph, "He meant well."
If he could have chloroformed his am
bition to be president and gone about
performing the duties of his office
with the conscience of a free man, the
chances are that right now he would
be well on the road to the presiden
tial nomination.
