Washington, April 19. (WASH

books have closed for
entries in the Democratic primaries
in Georgia, where one of 'he moat

struggles on the Democratic side

will be hfild April 20.

Missouri and ex-Secretary of 8tt
Robert Lansing were eliminated.
Hoover was dropped because he de
clined to declare himself a Democrat,
and the state committee ruled that only
avowed Democrats were eligible.
WII.SOS PETITION DEFE.CTIYE
President Wilson'.' name was also
put up bv a petition only two days be
fore the date for closing the lists. This
was recognized as an effort to draff
from the president some expression of
his attitude toward another candidacy,
and at the sarn- tune embarrass Palmer,
who is running on a platform indors
ing Wilson' administration "In every
phase." This dilemma was solved by
Inducing: enough signers of the petition
to withdraw thetr signatures to make
tho petition def-ectl-e.
Senator Hoke Smith Is not a Wilson
Democrat, and while much of his oppo
sition has been masked, he broke with
the president on the peace treaty. He
has ni.tde many speeches in Georgia ad
vocating; reservations to the treaty, par
ticularly on Article X of the League of
Nations, and said he would not vote
for the treaty -unless the obligations of
Article X were broken down.
SMITH SOT REAL CANDIDATE
Smith does not pretend that he Is a
real candidate for president. In a pub
lic statement he said he entered his
Same because he wanted . to provide a
: means of expression for voters who
want the treaty with strong reserva

' WATSON BATED THIRD
Watson Is rated third man in the race,
though his following is considerable.
Populism was once strong in Georgia,
and Watson holds a residue of the old
Populist following, to which he adds the
present day radicals. Allied with him
! Is former Senator Thomas W. Hard
wjck. Originally they were behind
Senator Reed, but when Reed decided to
withdraw his name Watson went in.
Hardwlck was an opponent of admin
istration war measures, and was de
feated for reelection In 1918 after Presi
dent Wilson had asked for his defeat
He has since been prominent as attor
ney for Socialists and other radicals
prosecuted under the espionage act, and
as attorney for Martens, the Russian
soviet "ambassador." Watson's news
paper was excluded from the mails dur
ing the war because of its attitude to
ward the war. These facts fairly well
W define the Watson candidacy.
VH DERWOOD KEEPS NAME OCT
the
Prominent Georgians who know
politlcs of the state say that Senator
Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, who
aarrled the state in 1912, would easily
have carried it again had he permitted
the use of his name, but Underwood
has kept his name out of the presidential-contest.
Palmer, McAdoo, Bryan
and Hoover sentiment Is Baid to exist
In real force, but Palmer Is the only
one of these to go on the ballot.
Palmer, it is thought will become the
beneficiary f a large number of sup-
porters of these others whose names
are not entered, and of those who be
lieve in sustaining the president On
the other hand. Hoke Smith has been
regarded as unbeatable in the Georgia
domain, and will gather a certain per
sonal strength as a Georgian as against
Palmer, an outsider.

victory, with a delegation
which would be swung to suitthe pur

lection of delegates is peculiar. The
candidate receiving the majority popu
lar vote Is not assured of the delegates,
because of the county unit system. Who
ever carries a county receives the unit
vote of that county in the state conven
tion, the county delegates being selected
by the county executive committee from
among the avowed supporters of that
candidate, and whoever receives a ma
jority of the county unit votes becomes
the choice of the state's delegation,
which will be selected at a state con
vention on May 18.
RESTAURANTS PLACE ;
SPUDS AT 50 CENTS
T
(By United Nw)
Detroit Mich., April 19. To further
the boycott of potatoes, the Detroit Res
taurant Keepers' association today
boosted the price of potatoes to such a
height that only the reckless would
order them. Mashed potatoes went to 50
cents for a small portion on the menu
cards of the medium priced places, plain
Irish boiled were 40 cents and the arts
tocratlc spud souffle was firm on a ris
ing market at 60 cents per wartime por
tion. EATING SUBSTITUTES
The restauranteurs decided to make '
these prices uniform to start the sec
ond week of the public fight on potato
pronteeis, murphies having hit the high
price of t a bushel. Even the stewards
of the fanciest food parlors In town.
where high prices never were strangers
to the right hand column of the menu,
decided that the price had about reached
its limit.
Community meetings which began Sat
urday night were continued Sunday in
all parts of town In which the house
holders promised to abstain from tubers
until the prices come down at least 75
per cent.
TKLl 'F.M SOT TO BUT
Waiters In all restaurants on Sunday
were advising the patrons not to order
potatoes and there were some places In
which the great table staple had been
scratched entirely from the carte, its
plac being filled by rice specialties or
hominy, which were quite popular, to
Judge by the demand.
Lest their action In boosting potato
prices be misunderstood, the restaurant
men posted placards explaining that
food profiteers had artificially boosted
the nrire to unreasons h a limitn and
requesting that no potatoes be demanded!
until prices should fall. "
Portland restauranteurs have offered
slight aid in boycotting the potato. They
have placed 5 and 10 cent charges on
potatoes served with regular orders. If.
this does not offer sufficient discourage
ment to patrons, almost prohibitive
prices may be clamped on.
Tenants Threaten to

Rentrrofiteering
New York, April 19. (I. N. S.) The
fight between indignant tenants and
profiteering landlords will culminate on
May 1 by the "strike" of 25,000 tenants
in Brooklyn, it was declared here by
leaders of a mass meeting held to pro
test against rent profiteering.
The new Tenants' league now has
15.000 'members and there will be 25,000
members by May 1, according to Leo
Gitlln. organizer of the league. He de
clared tenants had had their rents
raised 100 per cent in many instances in
the last few months.

HIRAM JOHNSON
RECOGNIZES ONLY
ONE BOSS AT HOME
of ;Sriltopnd ShU-SB ?: tS2
human interest sketches from time to time.)
(By United Ntws)
New York, April 19. The next
month is expected by political wise
acres to reveal Senator Hiram John
son of California as a candidate of
strong petentiallty for the Republi
can nomination at Chicago. Where
he has appeared in public he has
had singular success in winning a
majority , or plurality of votes in ensuing-
balloting. For that, reason
many women have asked:
"If Hiram Johnson were elected presi
dent, what sort of a woman would be
the first lady of the land?"
At the outsetit is admitted by all of
Johnson's friends: that, while he has
made a specialty of fighting bosses
throughout his political career, he has
one at home that he acknowledges. He
won't take dictation from any corpo
rate or political group, but when the
voice of Mrs. Johnson speaks In com
mand, the senator responds, as he
obeys :
"AH right, boss, just as you say."
Senator and Mrs. Johnson are real
pals. Mrs. Johnson is rarely seen In
public. Yet when one meets the senator
these" days It Is more than likely that
somewhere in the background is his
wife, who isn't thinking of you or of
the senator's meeting or of the presi
dential nomination, but of Hiram's per
sonal comfort and welfare.
YOUTHFUL LOVE RECALLED
Thelr's was a boy and girl love affair
and is still just as much of a Jove af
fair as it was when Hiram was a stu
dent at the University of California and
Mrs. Johnson was just Minnie McNeal
of Sacramento, daughter of Archibald
McNeal, pioneer Scotch Presbyterian
citizen of the California capital.
The McNeals and the Johnsons were
near neighbors.
Hiram was only 21 when they were
married. Many persons meeting the
senator are surprised to learn that he

She is young in appearance and full
of youthful vivacity. She loves her two

During one of his recent trips to the

telephoned a friend in Washington and
said :
"I'm sure something must have hap

word from Hiram in 24 hours."

Summed up, our informant on Mrs.

"Senator and Mrs. Johnson live quiet
ly at the old Calvert home, several
miles outside of Washington. There is
no formal entertaining there, but the
latch string always Is out and there al
ways is a seat at the dinner table for
a friend who happens to drop In.
"The Johnsons are juet plain, old
fashioned Americans, whose home life
Is that of the average American in the

as one of affection and defelence. But

LOSING
(By Catted News Staff Correspondent. 1
Washington, April 19. The most
reliable opinion in Washington has
it that the railway brotherhoods havo
very considerably cooled towards tho
Plumb plan as a result of the "out
law" railway strikes.
Labor leaders take little stock in the
assertion that the Bo-called "outlaw"
strike was fathered by revolutionaries.
They believe that the strike was the
result of widespread dissatisfaction in
the ranks with the general economic
situation.
Realizing this, tne brotherhood chiefs
are anxious tor some official action on
the part of the government that will
at least partially satisfy the rank and
file of the railway workers and give
the brotherhoods a chance to regain their
partially lost prestige and authority.
It is understood that the Plumb plan
represents the ideas of the most radical
elements among the railway workers
and the strikes have brought the broth
erhoods in direct conflict with these
elements. It is altogether probable that
whatever sympathy organized union
railway labor has hitherto had with the
Plumb plan, and this sympathy has been
warm and widespread at times, has been
practically destroyed by the latest
strike, which was aimed at the brother
hoods as much as either the railways
themselves or the government
It is being recalled here as a sig
nificant fact that whereas Gompers and
the brotherhood heads were crying out
fnot only against the antlstrlke provi-
sions of the original Esch-Cummins bill
which were defeated but also against
the railway labor board, which was
adopted and is now In operation that

MAY SPLIT PARTY
By Winder R. Harris j
Washington, April 19. One of the I
hardest fought legislative battles in
recent years now appears certain to
develop ln the house over the method
of raising revenue to pay the pro
posed cash bonuses to former sol
diers. The Republican organization
is due for another split, according
to present indications.
The question at Issue la whether the
$1,000,000,000 needed for the bonuses
will be raised by a sales tax of one
half of 1 per cent on "turnover" sales,
as proposed by the Republican leaders
on the ways and means committee, or
whether a retroactive tax shall be levied
on war profits of the millionaire classes.
Representative Royal C. Johnson. Re
publican of South Dakota, has Joined
forces with Representative Henry T.
Kainey. Democrat of Illinois, in support
of the war profits tax. Rainey is con
fident the Democrats of the house will
stand virtually as a unit in favor of
the war profits tax and Johnson declares
he will be able to line up more than
enough Republican votes to insure Its
adoptton over the sales tax idea.
"The men who made all the money
out of the war," said Johnson, "must
