THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX. PORTLAND. OCTOBER IS, 1922 3 DEMOCRATS BEGIN BOOM FOR IMP Quiet Organization Started AH Over Country. FOLLOWING IS STRONG Bloving of Home to California , Declared Actuated by Desire to Enter White House. BTT ROBERT T. SMALL. (Copyright. 1922, by The ClrfBonlan.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 14. (Special.) The friends of William Gibbs McAdoo are today quietly or ganizing to obtain for him the dem ocratic presidential nomination in 1924. Reports from all sections of th country confirm the news. Mr. McAdoo haa the nearest approach to a personal machine of any presi dential aspirant outside the White House. In the memorable language of "William -Jennings Bryan, it is aid, almost a million men would spring to arms overnight for the ex-secretary of the treasury. There Is no longer any question but that the possibility of obtain ing the presidential nomination In 1934 had a great deal to do -with Mr. McAdoo'a decision to move from New York to California. Irt 1920 "Boss" Murphy of Tammany Hall blocked the nomination of Mr. Mc Adoo at San Francisco. At that time Mr. McAdoo was a resident of New York. If he couldn't command the votes of the delegates from his borne state his supporters realized bo never could e put across. . Mnrpby Permanent Obstacle. Mr. McAdoo knew that no matter how long he lived in New York he could not win Murphy over. Tam many was at loggerheads with the Wilson administration. It has lost many appointments. Murphy blamed the Influence of McAdoo at the White House for his "turndwon" at the hands of President Wilson and no amount of missionary work by the McAdoo friends with the "boss" could ameliorate the matter. There was nothing else for it. Mr. McAdoo moved to California. Now his friends are saying that New York is no longer a pivotal state anyway; that if the democrats win they must win in the west as Wilson did in 1916. At that time Wilson lost New York but won California. ' The McAdoo supporters say he will BO and do likewise. Machine Big Factor. There Is no question, his friends ay. but that the ability of Mr. Mc Adoo to put a smoothly working ma chine into operation all over the United States in a comparatively short space of time will .have great weight with the delegates to the next democratic national convention. Governor Cox faced a woeful lack of national organization in the dem ocratic fight of 1929 and many of the Cox supporters were Inclined - to blame the McAdoo' adherents for this complete breakdown in party machinery. The only machine, po tentially speaking, that the demo crats had in 1920 was the one com posed of administration office hold ers. These office holders to a man were for Mr. McAdoo, and, if he had been nominated there is no doubt but what they would have welded together an effective po litical organization in little or no time. Machine Breaks Down. With the nomination of Governor Cox, however, even the semblance of a. national organization fell to pieces. Cox toured the country from one end to the other, but in none of his travels did he run across even the wreckage of the democratic ma chine. It had been a total loss, sunk without trace. Already it Is being argued by the McAdooites that Mr. McAdoo, alone of the available democratic . mate rial, is In a position to rebuild the national machine and wage an ef fective campaign against the well oiled republican machine. The Mc Adoo adherents say that Governor Cox has no national following; that he had no opportunity to build up a national following such as Mr. McAdoo had as head of the treasury department and director-general of railroads during the term of gov ernment control and operation. Cox Backers Busy. While It is true that Governor Cox may not have the national following attributed to Mr McAdoo, he never theless has many warm and influ ential personal friends who already are taking cognizance of the Mc Adoo moves and getting ready to combat them. The McAdoo boosters expected ex President Wilson to place his influ ence behind his son-in-law, although In the same breath they say there will be no "crown-prince" cry against McAdoo in 1924. The same boosters point to the fact that although Governor Cox re turned recently from Europe, where he went to investigate the operation of the league of nations and Euro pean conditions, Woodrow Wilson has expressed no desire to see or talk with the democratic standard bearer in 1920. It is said the ex president resents the efforts in some quarters to regard Governor Cox as the leader of the party today. The McAdoo boom will be well financed from the start. S. B. L. Penrose, college president Organization of the Joint commit tee of the board of overseers and the alumni association, appointed at commencement last June, has been made, with Dr. John C. Lyman of this city as chairman and Professor W. C. Eells as secretary. E. D. Mc Coy of The Dalles, -Or., is on the committee. Plans for the dormitory, as drawn by the college architect, El F. Law rence of Portland, call for a atruc ture 280 feet long on the Stanton street side of the campus, facing toward the campus. It will provide accommodations for 100 men, and will include a living room and din ing room. Lack of dormitory space for men has been one of Whitman's biggest problems. The only dormitory at present Is Kirkman hall, which is some distance from the campus and accommodates only 25 men. The new building is to be .completed by next September.

D0RMIT0RYJ0 BE BUILT Bids for Whitman Structure Will Be Received Xext Month. WHITMAN COLLEGE, WalU Walla. Wash., Oct 14. (Special.) Bids for construction of the new Whitman dormitory for men will be received within the next month, ac cording to announcement by Dr. Communists and I. V. W. Bitterly Oppose Kach Other In Fight for American Leadership. CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 14. The in ternal disagreements in radical cir cles of America will be given an air ing: November 13 when the Indus trial Workers of the World hold their annual convention here. Since the war-time conviction of nearly 100 of its leaders and the subsequent flight to Russia of "Bigr Bill" Hay wood, the general secretary, who is under a 20-year prison sentence, the I. W. W. has been less active. Members complain, however, that the general public has grown so ac customed to blaming everything savoring of radicalism on the Hay wood organization that they have been given much unsought credit for the activities of others. The L W. W. cup of wrath flowed over when the communist national convention, which met secretly in the Michigan sand hills south of St Joseph last August, was raided by federal men and the public and some newspapers referred to it as an I. W. W. organization. The communist party of America and the Industrial Workers of the World are the open enemies In American radical circles. So, on of the topics on the agenda of the I. W. W. convention November 13 will be: "Means of Combatting the Communistic Tendencies of the Mili tant Working Class." Tho I. W. W. and the communist party, which is the official repre sentative of this country of the Moscow international, disagreed over the question of how to accom plish the revolution they advocate. The communists propose to over throw the government first, while the I. W. W., according to com munist literature, entertain "the absurd theory that the revolution can be accomplished by the direct seizure of industry without first overthrowing the capitalist state." Communists .are said to have undertaken to overcome the syndi calist prejudices of the I. W. W. and convert them to the Russian idea, and hence the I- W. W. are plan ning some counter-propaganda aJ their forthcoming convention. EBERT LIKELY TO WIN Incumbent Has Backing; of Mon archists on Account of Con servative Stand.

In seven weeks, tor the first time, the German people will elect a pres ident. Ebert, it wiil. be recalled, was named in 1919 by the national assembly without a plebiscite. Why his mandate outlasted the general assembly which elected him and why the relchstag never until now consulted the popular will must In terest the people of the United States. Those who remember the heated, often savage, electoral battles in America, France and Mexico, even in quiet- Switzerland, might imagine trembling, violent agitation here. Should they listen In the trains, in street cars, in restaurants.' the con versation so overheard would all be about the high prices, which are unbearable, taxes, tariffs, unheard of workers' wages; occasionally of attempts to poison too-active ac complices in Rathenau's murder with chocolate, but almost never about the presidential election, which is so uninteresting that few candidates yet have appeared. Power Not Trifling. Is the president's power so re stricted that his person does not matter? No! Wilhelm von Hohen zollern, in his tedious book which because of Its author demands an annihilating answer, boldly declares even the kaiser was without real power and was forced to yield to the chancellor's -will. The man who writes that for 30 years had and used despotic rights, named and dismissed chancellors, ministers of state, secretaries, made them wait like lackeys or travel a whole day to report to him for SO minutes in some huning lodge, ship, train, sta- tion or theater; called them insult ing names in marginal notes on their reports, and behaved like a Turkish sultan In his intercourse with the greatest ministers and most eminent statesmen of modern times. The late Wilfred S. Blunt relates in his interesting book, ''My Di aries," how Sultan Abdul Ramid ad vised the kaiser to dismiss the all-too-powerful Bismarck. Kaiser Gets Xesson. "Would you like to see how I treat my grand vizier?" Instantly Kamil Pasha stood be fore him and bowed his head and folded his hands. The sultan let him stand unnoticed for a while and then said casually: "You needn't wait, it's nothing im portant. Go!" And the vizier went. Wilhelm took the lesson to heart, and dis missed the chancellor hardly less brutally. Of course the president has less absolute powers, but those he has are sufficient to make the choice important. They are less, of course, than President Harding's, but quite as great as those of most European presidents of republics. The presi dent not only can prevent almost anything he deems bad, but can exercise a positive influence on the whole management and spirit of the republic if he possesses the right personality. Traditions Hurt Republic. Reasons for the indifference are many. The German nation always has been the easiest to rule, but it should not be despised for this. The efficiency in scientific, industrial and artistic work, which after all determines a nation's fate, can still, under most unfavorable conditions, compete with all others, hut the exaggerated respect for persons In authority has survived the kaiser's fall. Secondly, the Germans have repeatedly been told their misery was due solely to the malice of for eigners and that fortune can' re turn only with foreign help and any self-help is impossible under the malicious pressure of the war vic tors. That is false, but is readily be lieved by a people whose political instinct, never -highly developed, now Is blunted by the struggle with their miseries. Foreigners, how ever, sympathetic, cannot realize how demoralizing is the fact that the 1000-mark note, which formerly kept a family comfortable for two months, now is insufficient to buy a shirt or a pair of theater tickets. Ebert Is Popular. Thirdly, the idea has been . im planted that for tactical reasons the presidency must go to a social democrat, and If a social democrat, why not Ebert? This Heidelberg tailor's son, saddler, ex-editor of a xsmall paper. Innkeeper, party secre tary is popular among the bour geoise.

The monarchists and nationalists desire no other president this hard winter than this little, portly, cun ning gentleman who greeted our returning troops as "Our uncon quered army." Unpopular with his own party, hated by the best elements of labor, still, if no really popular candidate appears, or unless Ebert himself, seeing dangers in the people's mis ery, retires to a less responsible po sition, he will succeed himself.' This is exceedingly to be regret ted, for the moral depression of the people equals their economic misery and the needed new spirit cannot be. awakened by a man who takes principles, once called all-healing remedies, out of the window like re moved goods.
