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.

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.

BY MAXMILIAN HARDEN",
Germany's Foremost Publicist.
(Copyright, 1022. by The Oregonian.)
BERLIN. Oct. 14 (Sp.ecial Cable.)
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. After violent speeches
against repressive laws and rule,
he. as president, calmly pulled the
flag of the idealist from Its pole.
Under his presidency thousands of
workmen and republicans have
