Mark Sullivan Tells of
Convention Course.
ROOT IS FATHER OF PLANK
League Compromise Effected
to Weld Factions.
THE HAGUE PLAN FAVORED
President Wilson's Claim to Fame
Held to Rest "on Services
Prior to Fall of 1918.
The platform of the republican
party threw overboard the idea of a
super-state as created by the league
of nations and went back of the peace
conference to The Hague tribunal with
its aim of a supreme court of the
world, to maintain unity in the party,
explained Mark Sullivan, political
writer of note, who will report the
democratic convention In San Fran
cisco for The Oregonian, as he did
the Chicago convention, in an address
at the city auditorium last night.
Elihu Root was the father of the
compromise plank, which was held In
the pocket of Will Hays, republican
national chairman, until a deadlock
had occurred between the 'bitter-enders"
and the reservatlonists and the
airing of the fight on the floor of the
convention appeared certain, con
tinued the speaker, who related the
entire history of the contest over the
plank. ' He spoke of informal meet
ings in Washington in May, in which
contending republican leaders sought
a compromise, without success, of
how Johnson successes in . primaries
widened the gap and made his stand
more determined for complete rejec
tion of the league idea, and how sen
tors met in Chicago a week before the
convention with the aim of weaving
"a blanket out of which everybody
could get a little warmth."
Crista la Precipitated.
"But responsible party leaders said
that such a plank would not do, that
an affirmative policy was necessary
went on Mr. Sullivan. "There was
crisis about three days before the
convention when Murray Crane, ex
senator, announced that - the league
must be indorsed with proper reser
vations, in belligerent mood, aided by
Nicholas Murray Butler, both of whom
said that if Johnson and Borah wished
to leave the party they might do so
with the cheerful permission of But
ler and Crane.
"Johnson had refrained from a defi
nite attitude until the arrival of
Borah, who was determined the con
vention would indorse the irrecon-
cilables. Conferences were called
without result on Monday and Tues
day, until at the height of the snarl
ing Will Hays produced the plank
written by ex-Senator Root early In
May. Both sides compromised on this.
as the proposed ' Intellectual prize
fight was all off in the agreement
reached six hours before the conven
tion opened.
League Title Avoided.
. The term league is not used in
the plank, 'association' being the
word. Root had in mind getting rid
of the league oi nations as it is now
and going back to The Haaue trl-
bunal and a declaration of policy in
naval - appropriation, agreement In
which it was provided that in the
event of a disarmament policy being
adopted the expenditures would- be
cut. He took the view that th
functions of The Hague tribunal had
only been interrupted by the war,
not ended." . .
Mr. Sullivan switched then from

Festive Portland Out En Masse
Viewing Decorations Before
Visitors Take Possession.
In the subdued glow of thousands
of multihued lights, the automobile
paid its official farewell to Portland
downtown streets for the period of
the Shrine session last night.
East and west and north and south,
the automobiles, loaded . with Jolly,
yelling, singing Portlanders and their
guests, streamed up and down In a
restless, go-nowhere procession in a
mad effort to see everything that
could be seen while the automobile
was still the permitted means of
transportation.
From Monday, the only way in
which an. automobile will be able to
get anywhere worth while will be to
register at auto headquarters, Sixth

guests.

DEMOCRATIC OPINION DIVIDED
Some Senators Say Execu-

RECENT INTERVIEW CITED
President Comes Oat of Seclusion
Xot for State 'Matters but to
Talk to Reporters. '
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, June 19. If the, weight
of newspaper opinion as expressed
today means anything, Woodrow Wil
son will be the leading candidate to
succeed himself when the San Fran
cisco convention gets down to busi
ness. Five out of six newspapers this
morning declared either in their edi
torial or newa columns that the Wil
son interview distributed to the coun
try through the New York World.
when coupled with the McAdoo letter
of withdrawal yesterday, established
the third-term candidacy as a living.
breathing fact.
But such opinions are sometimes
like straw ballots or. perhaps, more
like presidential primaries.
Private opinion, particularly among
democrats, was more nearly equally
divided. Of five democratic senators.
three declared Mr. Wilson always had
been a- third-term candidate and two
others said the president has no such
ambitions. As to the McAdoo with
drawal, several of his friends still
held out today that he will be the
nominee.
Trickery la Charged.
Individuals unfriendly to Mr. Mc
Adoo charged him with springing
from the nomination merely as a cun
ning method of Inviting the conven
tion's favor. The poverty plea em
phasized by the president's Bon-ln-law
as the reason for spurning he nom
ination was received with levity In
some quarters. A few persons opined
that Mr. McAdoo must have smiled
when he pleaded humble clrcum
stances as an excuse for seeking to
remain in private life.
How much does he regard as the
requirements of an ordinary family
for a lifetime? was the query, be
cause, whether it is true or not. the
president's son-in-law is estimated to
be a millionaire at least once, if not
three times.
There is no doubt, however, that
most political observers will go on
asserting that .President Wilson is a
candidate to succeed himself until the
question is finally determined by the
convention.
' Ambition Believed Cherished.
The Siebold interview so widely
published yesterday morning gave
abundant reason for believing that
the president cherishes such ambi
tions. It Is pointed out that for al
most nine. months it has been Impossi
ble for any senator or foreign diplo
matic representatives to break into
the presence of the country's chief
executive to discuss matters of the
graveet . importance. Cabinet mem
bers have rarely seen Mr. Wilson, yet

In to make a transcription of the
presidents views on politics and to
carry to the country a message that
the leader of the democratic party is

fit as ever for a new struggle. If the

This decision was reached today at

The fact that sufficient funds could

main reasons for changing the place

William F. Woodward of Woodard.
Clarke & Co. and Frank I. Shull. man
ager of the Globe Grain & Milling
company, were elected as the two new
members of the board of directors of
school district No. 1 at the regular
election held yesterday, and the sDe-
'1!" levy ,of 3 mills to ralse funas
iur me erection oi permanent school
buildings was carried by a strong ma
jority. Such were the results assured
by complete returns from 59 of the 69
school precincts at a late hour last
night. Returns from the remaining?
precincts, which will not be available
until today, were not expected to
change the result materially.
According to the returns from 69
precincts. Mr. Woodward a r.x XT- .
Shull have been elected by large mar- .
gins, each of the two men having
votes double those of their nearest
competitors. As the count progressed
last night, the two leaders maintained .
strong margins over the other five
candidates in the race and ran closa
to each other, Shull beating Wood
ward out by but a small margin.
O. M. Plnmmfr la Defeated.
Mr. Woodward and Mr. Shull win
replace O. M. Plummer and Dr. E. A.
Sommer on the board. Mr. Plummer
was a candidate for re-election at
this time, but ran far short of the.
two leaders in the race yesterday.
while Dr. Sommer was not a candi
date. . .
By a vote of more than 2 to 2, ths
special tax levy was carried, accord
ing to returns which were practically
complete late last night. The voting
means that approximately $950,000 to
be obtained from a 3-mlll levy will
be available for building purposes.
Returns Are Tabulated.
In the race for school directors, twa
of whom were to be chosen from
among seven candidates, complete re
turns from 59 out of 69 precincts gave
the following results:
Frank L. Shull, 4007.
William F. Woodward. 3609.
Mrs. Francis A. Sherman, 1806.
J. N. Pearcy. 1735.
Arthur W. Jones, 1418.
O. M. Plummer. 1367.
S. A. Murhard. 919.
A surprising feature of the election
for directors was the small vote cast
for Mr. Plummer, who has been a
member of the school board for tha
past seven years. It had been gen
erally expected that Mr. Plummer-
would be a close contender with Mr.
Shull and Mr. Woodward for the high
vote. Another surprise was the high
vote cast for Mrs. Sherman, who ran
third in the race.
Returns from 57 out of 69 precincts
on the special tax levy gave that
measure a comfortable majority.
For the tax levy, 3348.
Against the levy. 2120.
Projeeta Are Discussed.
When the passage of the special
