H was aaked to . prepare lUtcment explaining hi attitude, which ' m presented herewith. ,' t Bjr William CH McAdoo ''' Written t U request of the United Frew . - J do not object t) primary elec , tlone (or the selection of delegates to national conventions,'; but I think it Is a mistake to send instructed del ' Agates. Some of my reasons are: trst. Only 17 states. I believe, ' au thorise primaries. This leaves 31 states ; which choose their delegates by the old ctoventlon method. The object of the 1 primary ' ' Kv the people a chance ; to select a candidate for the presidency and to prevent political machines from - controlling the delegates and thereby 'controlling the convention. But as long as St states may choose and instruct delegates through conventions and 17 : may choose and Instruct through prim aries, the system falls at the very out- : sot to accomplish the purpose for which tt was designed. COJfDITIOSd MAT CHA50E second. The primaries are held at vary ing dates and under varying regulations In the different states, some of which do not properly safeguard the i election. Feme primaries are held as much as four n.onths In advance of the convention. As a consequence. Instructions are given without knowledge of conditions as they may; exist at the date of the convention, , and yet the delegates are bound to a course of action which may be directly opposed to their best Judgment, and to the oest Interests of the country at the time the convention meets. - ' Third, A two-thirds vote Is required to romlnate In a Democratic convention, 't So long as delegates are Instructed, some - by state primaries and others by state . conventions, the national convention may , find , itself deadlocked by instructions the moment It assembles. Fourth. Political intrigue and political '-"manipulation In a national convention are reduced to a minimum when t' e convention Is composed of high-minded, 'j clean-minded men and women who go there, not the blind champions of Indi vidual ambitions but as representatives of their party. Fifth. Experience shows that only a small percentage of the people take part . instate primaries for presidential Candi da. 'tea and that delegates are sometimes . Instructed by a pitiable minority of the voters of the state. The very purpose of " the primary is defeated when voters do not vote. Consequently, a small minority assumes to express the will of the entire state, whereas, if a full vote was had a wholly different verdict might be ren . dered. The disappointing results of ' primaries thus far are due to Indiffer ence of the voters. In some instances It has been easier for the machines to control the primaries than to control the conventions. SYSTEM LACKS UNIFORMITY Sixth. The primary system of choosing presidential candidates might be ideal If practiced In the right way and made uniform In all states. It ought to be pro vided for and conducted under authority of federal law. For Instance, suppose that In every state a primary to choose presidential candidates was held in June of the presl dent:l year, an that the voters of each part ' could be aroused sufficiently to mak : them go to the polls and express their will ; the candidate so selected ' would then became the nominee of the party and a national convention would be unnecessary except to adopt the plat fcrm. Of course, in a nation-wide prim ary of this sort, the candidate would have to be chosen by a plurality vote, as it would not be practicable to hold successive primaries until a candidate received a majority, or two-thirds, of all the votes cast. So long as a nation-wide primary is not provided for. I am convinced that the national convention should be com peted of uninstructed delegates, free to express their choice, and able to trans- act promptly the business of the con vention, unembarrassed by limitations or restrictions which make it impossible for the convention to act until, at some stage of the proceedings, the conven t'on,. in self-defense, releases the dele gates from all instructions. The very fact that the convention Is forced to do this in order to function is convincing evidence of the unwisdom of binding the delegates with instructions in the first Instance. - IS TOO EXPENSIVE Seventh. A very grave objection to the quest for instructed delegates, in state ' primaries Is the great money cost of conducting the personal campaigns of the various candidates. A poor man can . not play the game unless he has rich backers ; and In the event of success, . he : may find himself seriously embarrassed . by obligations which might conflict with the impartial discharge of the duties of ; the presidency. It is much better for a ' presidential candidate to be named by a f'-ee convention and to be a free man himself when he assumes the responsi bilities of the greatest office in the gift : wf the people. 1 1 " : i ; Private Legion Indorsed Spokane. Wash., April 7. Organized labor of Spokane at a central council meeting Indorsed the "Private Soldiers' .and Sailors' legion." and a motion was ' passed to ask Frank Pease, secretary of the national organisation, to come to Spokane and organise a post here.

He claimed the state by a plurality of 25,000 votes. The results i how that even astute political managers r.ay be misled by the reports that at tempt to tell tbm what is dormant In the' public mind. FERTILE FIELD FOR JOHXSOJT Of course Senator Johnson had fertile ground for his campaign in Michigan. He bad befriended the soldiers of that htaio who were in Siberia and wanted to get home again. He was befriended by them, in return, and by the pro-Ger-mai. voter the pro-Irish and anti-English voters of Detroit and he had the support of the "bitter enders" in the League of Nations controversy. Added to that he had the benefit of. a personal campaign, and no one who knows John son or has heard him In action can die count the power of his oratory. Locally, the Michigan news has spread sunshine in the Johnson headquarters, tnd has done the reverse In the Wood camp. Sanfield Macdonald contends that it is now all over but the counting at Chicago: that Johnson will grow stronger as he fights on ; that he IS due to Iwve success in those districts in New York where he is fighting for Instructed delegates; that he will capture the 21 delegates of his home state May 4, and come up to Oregon after the 10 delegates here May 21 without the thought of fail tire. Dow walker, tne wooa manager. iii disappointed. He admits that he Is surprised at the Johson vote in Mlcht asn. Undoubtedly the Michigan defeat Is & serious blow to the Wood forces. It was a clear cut contest into which his managers had thrown a lot of energy and a lot of money. His failure there will not have a healthy reaction in Illi nois, where the primary election will be held on April 13. DRAWS BATTLE LINES CLOSER Nor will f Johnson's aucceai do the Polndexten candidacy any good, though that, from here,- does not appear to be of very serious moment. On the Other hand the Michigan result may have the effect of drawing the Johnson-Hoover battle lines still more clearly. In the first place the Hoover campaign is Just beginning to get under way. It will be. or at least it ought to be. in full swing by the date of the California primary election of May 4. Theoretically Hoov er's strength oujht to ascend as that of Wood and Lowden descend. Out of it all it aeems clearly apparent that Wood's campaign is on the down grade. Lowden's test will come when the "business states" of the East begin to select their delegations. If he can rain. Instructed delegations there he will better his condition materially. CALIFORNIA THE TEST Both Johnson and Hoover will face their crucia test, so far as any pre convention eventuality may be so termed when they meet in the California prim Ta f state of both of them. Should Johnson lcBe it his candidacy would flatten fut lieyond repair for no Republican conven tion has ever considered a candidate who did not bring his home states dele gation with him. It holds the same por ttnt for Hoover, so that these two can didates will face, their Thermopolae down about the Golden Gate in May. But the big thought right now is that Jchnson, since the Michigan vote, is a presidential factor that must be reck' oned with from now on. He can not be overlooked either by his rival candidates, or by the politicians who are destined to walk the bridge of the national con ventlon when the i time comes to pilot It through the troubled waters In June. LA FOLLETTE AHEAD SO FAR IN WISCONSIN PRIMARIES Milwaukee, Wis., April 7. (U. P,)- Wisconsin's uninstructed Republican candidates as delegates at large and district delegates 1 lagged behind the La Follette candidates early today on the basts of fragmentary returns. LaFollette headquarters claimed suc cess of the entire slate. Madison defeated municipal ownership of Ha streetcar system by a I to vote. T. W. Hoan, SJclallst mayor of Mil waukee, was reelected here yesterday defeating Clifton Williams, city attor ney, on a Xon-partlsan ticket by about 3000 votes. Emil Seidel, for city treas urer, and William Coleman, for comp troller, other Socialist candidates, ap parently were defeated by narrow mar gins. The fight was the hardest and closest since the Socialists gained the political ascendency here about 10 years ago. NEW YORK DELEGATION TO CHICAGO UNINSTRUCTED New Tork, April 7. (L N. S.

Sen ator Hiram Johnson maintained his lead by nearly 43,000 votes on the face of late returns from Monday's Republican pref erential primary today. On the returns from rural districts, Herbert Hoover forged ahead of Governor - Edwards of New Jersey ou the Democratic ballot. In 1472 precincts out of 2421 In the state' Johnson had 124,72? votes and Wood 11,994. ; Lowdeq held a 2000 lead over Hoover.

Warner con tinued to lead former Mayor Oscar Marx of Detroit by 3000 votes in the race for Republican national committeeman. MRS. NORTHUP CANDIDATE FOR REPUBLICAN DELEGATE Mrs. F. O. Northup, well known for the prominent part she has taken in the activities of various women's organiza tions of the state, has filed her .declara tion as candidate for a delegate to the Republican national convention at' Chi cago. She Is the first woman to enter the contest for delegate on the Repub lican ticket and seeks to be sent from the third congressional district of Mult nomah county. In stating her position as a candidate Mrs. Northup says : I will support the people's choice for president. "The time has come when the govern ing power Of our state and nation should have the assistance of the women ani the woman "who Is elected to her rightful piece should share this responsibility equally with the men. I favor immediate peace with Ger many and a League of Nations com pact, with such reservations as will pre serve to Our country full sovereignty. I believe such economic readjustments should be made as will tend to bring down the present high cost of living." There has been a good deal of rumor to the effect that each district of the state would have women candidates en tered on the Republican ticket as dele gates to the national convention. So far none of them, other than Mrs. Northup, baa come forward. NOMINATION PETITIONS ARE RUSHED NEAR TIME LIMIT Salem, April 7. A veritable flood of nomination petitions principally from candidates of Republican inc'lnations Is being received at the secretary of state's office these days With the near approach 6f the time limitation filings for a place on the primary ballots.

While he asserts the belief that this country has the best government on earth he adds that "It seems we are gradually be coming too paternalistic In our forms of government, that we have too many bu reaus, commissions, boards and officials whose main duties seem to be to unduly concern themselves with the life, lib erty and pursuit of happiness of the In dividual citlsen." Mrs. F. O. Northrup, also of Portland. would attend the Republican national convention as a delegate from the state at large. Mrs. Northrup declares that the "time has come when the governing power of Our state and nation should have the assistance of women."

April 7. U. P.) Illinois le the next hurdle in the obstacle race for the presidential nomination. Preferential primaries will be held there next Tuesday. Fifty-eight Re publican and a like number of Demo cratic delegates to the national conven tions are affected. Illinois has its on "favorite son" candidate for Republican honors Gov ernor Frank O. Lowden. Nevertheless Major General Leonard Wood has In vaded that state In a spirited campaign for its Indorsement The Wood organ ization bases its hopes on the fact that Lowden trailed the general badly in the Michigan primaries, where both had con ducted equally strong drives for Re publican vote. The fight in Illinois is expected to be limited to these two. as Senator Hiram Johnson, who carried Michigan, and Herbert Hoover, who ran next to LOwden in Michigan, have made no eampalgn there. Neither the New Tork nor the Wis consin primaries, yesterday clarified the situation in the two major parties. The delegations of both states are un pledged. The New Tork Republicans are expected te cast their vote on the first ballot for Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia university. After, that, it is believed the delegation will "ride" with the '-winner. . No One has attempted to claim the state's 99 Democratic dele gates. Governor Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey and William G. McAdoo and Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer ap pear: te be equally popular. Tj date Wood continues to lead the Republican candidates with 83 instruct ed delegates.

' WASHINGTON SURPRISED AT MICHIGAN VOTE FOR JOHNSON By James R. Nesrse Washington, April 7. Senator Hiram Johnson's sweeping victory in Michigan was a veritable bombshell in the poli ical circles of Washington. It was the first big surprise of the campaign, and in every political camp there was felt the rumble of Its tremendous potenti alities. Kven the friends of the California senator had not looked to see such a flattering plurality rolled up for him by the Michigan voters. Senators Borah and Keryon and Representative Nolan, who tourned Michigan last week in Senator Johnson's interest were hope ful of succesa, but were net prepared to witness such a 'triumph over the well organized and highly financed 'Wood and Lowden forces. They were among the most delighted persons In Washing ton today. So far as the old guard followers in the senate and house were concerned, they have been fondly clinging to the hope that the Johnson boom would elim inate Itself before the day of the Chi cago convention rolled around. They were surprised, amazed and sobered by the great vote given him over the other contenders. The Johnson victory was about the only thing talked about in the cloak rooms, the lunchrooms and offices of the capital during the day. JOHNSON WILL HAVE SOLID DELEGATION FROM MICHIGAN Detroit. April 7. (U. P.) Johnston will get all 30 Republican delegates from Michigan, according to an agreement made between Frederick M. Alger, Michigan manager for Wood ; Louis L. Emmerson, dampaign manager for Low den, and Louis F. Crampton, Michigan manager for Johnson, a statement Is sued from Johnson headquarters today said. Under .the Michigan law the primary result is not binding on the delegates, who are chosen at a state convention, but Johnson supporters said all cam paign leaders had pledged their support in the state convention to the candi date winning the primary. The attitude of the Hoover campaign organization remained in doubt. The Hoover management was not a signa tory to the agreement claimed by the Johnson men, it was learned. BURDICK CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION TO LEGISLATURE Denton G. Burdick of Redmond has .filed his declaration as a candidate for renomination and reelection as repre sentative from the Twenty-first district, consisting of Klamath, Lake. Deschutes, Crook, Jefferson and Grant counties. Mr. Burdick has served for three con secutive terms in the house and now seeks to be returned for the fourth time.

Vr'i ! -- BONUS QUESTIQI4 TO BE SETTLED BY Washington. April 7. -I N. 8.) The question of a bonus for men who served in the .military and naval forces during the world war will b settled at the national conventions. Leaders of both parties in congress to day had agreed upon such a plan, and there will be no definite action on bonus legislation until after the conventions. Republican Leader Mondell and Repre sentative Kltchln, the Democratic lead er. are both known to favor such a course. There is little likelihood of any cash bonus legislation during the present, ses Blon of congress unless the national con ventions direct It, leaders admit In the bonus problem members of con gress are facing one of the most deli cate political questions they have to . n., .... .a .l. . 1 -t. ' soive, nejeciion oi uie ouiiua tion might incur the disfavor of the "aol- dier vote." If a bonus is granted, it has been agreed that the funds for the bonus must be raised by direct taxation, and additional taxation at this time would be generally displeasing to the nation.
