PENROSE STACKS
CARDS ON HARDING
AS FIRST CHOICE
' By Robert J. Bender,
Vailed Jtews Staff Correspondent-..
Philadelphia, Pa., April 1 1. -Senator
Boise Penrose, stalwart of stal
. warts In thing Republican,' was "at
home" Tuesday to a number of
friends and It happened that they
were political leaders.
The' chief" talked things over with
- Senator, James Watson of Indiana," John
T, Kins; of Connecticut, and others who
were 'anxious to ascertain how thins
fooked politically to Penrose.
'..It was evident from conversations
later that the various candidates in the
,. Republican fold were checked over with
care and detail.
COKCLTJSIOS8 ABE DRAW
Conclusions drawn from a statement
,"b Watson, coupled with the opinions
of ethers who have talked with Penrose,
would permit of the following eard-in--dexlng
of candidates so far as Penrose
is concerned at this particular writing.
Herbert Hoover Nothing doing.
General Wooo Scarcely anything do
ing. ' Senator Johnson Possible but highly
Improbable.
Senator Harding First choice.
- -3evernor Lowden Would be a good
compromise between Johnson on the one
band and Harding on the other.
HABDIira PEN HOSE FAYOBITEI
Of course Penrose this year, as is the
esse every four years, "has an open
mind" on the Republican nomination
question, and Is "merely looking on ;
Senator Watson confirmed this today
after talking with "the chief." He added
however, that "Harding in the type of
man Senator Penrose has in mind.
though he has not oommltted himself
to a candidate, and I am certainly not
authorized to say that he will be for
: Harding."
Then taking up the other candidates,
Watson eliminated reference to General
Wood, declaring that Governor Lowden
was a "factor to be reckoned with,"
and predicted that, in event of a
nation-wide popular vote, Johnson would
get "a very strong representation," and
Concluded that Hoover would not do.
WOOD IS ELIMINATED
The pro-Johnson "old-guarders" point
to the fact that Johnson has apparently
scrapped his own government owner
ship and "too advanced taxation theor
ies," both of which were highly objec
tionable to Penrose. Senator Smoot, Mur
ray Crane and other Republican leaders.
Johnson's friends also declare that he
would pull the Irish. German and labor
vote and would make the most effective
eimpalgn of any of the candidates.
LEAGUE HURTS JOH5SO
They admit, however, that his stand
' against the League of Nations would
hurt htm In the country and Is one of
. the strongest arguments against his nom
ination. Anti-Johnson "old guarders" figure
that as things are running in the pre-
conventton fight to date. Senator John
son Is helping their work of eliminating
General Wood and that when it comes
' to the finish at Chicago there will be
. the conservatives, lined up behind Hard
: 1ng and Lowden, with the radicals stand
ing behind Johnson.
' Johnson, they figure, might have an
outside chance, but it would appear more
likely that some compromise would be
effected between Johnson and Hsrdlng
, perhaps Lowden, if Johnson would
stand for him. and if not Lowden, some
"dark horse."
WOOD ATTITCDE raCAJHTT
Titers is an almost uncanny attitude
shewn by old guard leaders In the way
tney dismiss General Wood's chances at
Chicago. They concede that he will have
' around 290 to 350 votes, but declare they
know that-many of these will not stick
long. ,
Th uncertainty Is merely accentuat
ed by talks with Wood supporters, who
declare that even in primaries going
against Wood, It will he found at Chi
cago that the delegates such aa those
for Johnson in Michigan are not anti
Wood, will not stand hitched to Johnson's
wagon and be held around where the
California senator wishes to lead them,
but will vote fo. Wood as their second
choice.
WOOD AND HARDING CAMPS
WAGING STRENUOUS FIGHT
By United Pre
v Columbus, Ohio, April 21, With only
ens more week before the state preferential-primaries,
all the political tricks In
the respective Wood and Harding bas
kets are 'being scattered over Ohio.
Bitter attacks on the rival candidates
have been made by their respective forces,
and now, as the campaign draws near
its end, rival boards of strategy are
woramg mgnt ana day to gain local ad
vantages. Wood's supporters charge:
C That Harding represents the old mr.
tionary crowd in the party which de
feated Roosevelt and Is merely a "favor

greaeives to write In votes for Senator
Johnson In order to split the Wood vote;
WOULD BEAT HOOTER
That while Johnson was asking Hard
ing to accept second place on the Hard
ing ballot, the Harding forces were pass
ing the word that in event of Harding's
being unable' to win at Chicago he will
do what he can for Herbert Hoover.
Harding's friends charge:
That Wood has carried on an extrava
gant campaign, featured by misrepre
sentation, and that in Columbus, at least.
It Is belnir enthusiastically backed by
interests friendly to the Democratic
party, trying to destroy Harding rather
than to help Wood ;
That Wood's supporters have passed
the word that their second choice is
Hoover in order to capture a strong
Hoover element in the state for the gen
eral. JTOff UP TO HABDIXG
As a matter of fact, the Hoover word
seems to have been passed rather Skil
fully by both sides, and as a result, the
expected written-in vote for the food ad
ministrator is not expected to reach the
proportions first anticipated.
It is generally conceded by Republican
leaders that Harding must beat Wood de
cisively next Tuesday in Ohio or see his
presidential boom begin to dwindle. In
addition, in voicing their preference for
president, the people also- will accept the
state's delegates to the convention. Wood
and Harding have their own respective
delegations in the running, although in
some districts Wood has not entered a
candidate and he has only two seeking
places as delegates at large, whereas
Harding has a full slate of four.
The Democrats will have an easy time
of it in their primary. Governor Cox
being unopposed in the state as a candi
date for the Democratic presidential
nomination and the Ohio delegation will
be solidly behind him a big "ace in the
hole" at San Francisco.
DEMOCRATIC MATERIAL FOR

Bj United Frea
Chicago, April 21. The onus of all al

Cummings, Democratic national commit
tee chairman, when he outlined what is
expected to be the burden of the Demo
cratic campaign.
"The Democrats, in a few months be
fore the war, put on statute books mors
constructive legislation than the Repub-
lir.a.na did In 20 vearii " h na.ld
They enacted federal reserve. Income j
tax and other financial legislation which
enabled the country to go through the
stress and strain of the world war more
smoothly than it had operated in peace
times.
"If the peace treaty had been ratified
we would not now see a Polish army
marching far beyond the boundaries
agreed to in the treaty. And we would
not have to face the dangers following
the occupation of Germany by a French
army.
"Our ships would not now be kept at
home because of the drop In foreign ex
change and we would be returning rap
Idly to normal peace times, instead of
facing the unrest that is causing so much
strife."

Henry M. Robinson, chairman of Presi

Robinson . asserts "there is no man
in the United States, nor in the world,
whose equipment of knowledge, experi

problems that immediately confront this
nation comparable to Herbert Hoover."
'While I could easily support Sena
tor Johnson," Robinson said in part, "my
knowledge of Mr. Hoover's work and
abilities as seen through six months of
close personal association with him In
Europe and in Washington has caused
me to support him for the presidency."
"Hoover has no silly, sentimenetal up

but has a very full appreciation that
we are to a tremendous degree depend

LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES
Roseburg, April 21. Candidates for
the , legislature, and the county court of
Douglas county must make known their
policy to gain the support of the grang
ers of the county, according to a set of
questions prepared and mailed out to
the different candidates. South Deer
Creek grange, one of the largest In the
county, asks the following questions of
the candidates:
"If elected will you promise to .vote
for a bill for a market commission for
Oregon, the same as California has, and
which has made California one of the
most prosperous agricultural states in
the union?
"If elected will you promise to vote
for a more equitable system of licensing
automobiles? Placing a higher tax on
new and heavy machines, and making
the fee on the older heavy machines
lighter? The owners of large cars of
older makes are paying Just as much as
the owner of a new heavy car, while
the owners of light cars are paying an
unjust proportion toward building the
Pacific highway.
'If elected will you promise to vote
tor a revision of the law governing the
sale of oleomargarine, regulating the
sale of "oleo" so that it will not be in
unfair competition with butter?
"If elected are you willing to work for
the removal of the tax on gasoline, espe
cially where such fuel Is used for Indus
trial purposes, such as stationary en
sines, tractors, etc.. which do not in
jure the public highways, if it is possi
ble to accomplish, this result? This Is
an unjust tax on industry."
The county officer seekers must an
swer the following questions :
"If elected will you promise to devote
as much of your time to the improve
ment of the lateral roads as you do to
the Pacific highway? Will you use your
influence to see that the standing tim
ber of the county is taxed In proportion
to the rate on agricultural lands, 70 per
cent of its marketable value? The farm
lands and farm machinery are so as'
sessed."

the White House has consistently main

the executive would - merely "recom

that policy is being revealed. It Is now
intended to hold congress responsible for
inaction? And the Republicans will
naturally hand it all back by insisting
that the president interjected the coven

as foreign problems, on the merit or de
merit of which the voters of America
will have an opportunity to pass judg
