COX IS BOOMED
BY DEMOCRATS
- .; By David. Lawrence-,
, r'- CopyrithUi. 1J0
-Washington, April 24. Enter Goy
;6or Jamw Coi of Ohio a factor
of rapidly Increasing strenrth In the
contest for; the Democratic presi
dential, nomination. Gradually, like
a ground swell, the movement for
- Cox has frown until the leaders here
recognize It as a full fledged boom
which l more than apt to be in at
' the finish. !
It's "McAdoo or Cox" or possible "Mc
Ado and Cox' said one of the adminis
tration Democrats today, and eolncl
' . dentally the new came trickling in from
' New. 'Jersey and Ohio that there Is some
' sort of understanding being developed
. between Governor Edwards, exponent of
- the iweta." and Governor Cox., whose
inclinations are "damp," but who Is not
viewed as an extremist on the prohibl
- " tion question.
tUWARDS MAT WITHDRAW
- One story has it that Governor Ed
wards presently will withdraw in favor
" - of Governor Cox, thereby transferrins; to
Urn all the momentum which has been
fathered by the New Jersey governor's
' - epen advocacy of wetness in the Demo
cratic platform. But Governor Edwards
himself told the writer today over the
long distance telephone, that he did not
Intend to withdraw at all.
On the other hand, friends of ' Gov
ernor Cox are not altogether sure that
- tbi.t would be a wise method of pro
cedure; they want to see Cox hold much
of the prohibition vote, and they fear
that tbe Ohio governor would be era-
, fcarrassed if he were to be regarded as
holding tbe same views as Edwards.
't There is "no objection, for instance; in
Governor Edwards eliminating himself
from the race, and Governor Cox would
- raturally fall heir to the Edwards sen
timent - KC051 BEST SUGGESTED
But it is an interesting commentary
en the situation that the move has not
yet been made and that apparently the
Cox supporters are not certain the tac
v ttce are politically good.
I ' So far as the White House is con-
; cerned. Governor Cox stands in good
favor. He may develop sufficient
j strength to be the presidential nominee,
i and then again If he doesn't the chances
J art not at all slim that he will be the
vlca presidential nominee, for It begins
to look as Jf Cox would be in the final
reckoning.
- But It would not be surprising if Gov
ernor Cox bad to declare himself defi
nitely - on the prohibition question in
order to gain control of delegates who
. come . from states where Governor Ed-
wards has polled a substantial vote in
the primaries.
HOLDS HIS POPULARITY
The New Jersey governor advises the
writer that his main purpose in the presi
dentlal race is to see to It that the Dem
" erratic convention writes a wet plank
In 'it platform. He will stay In until
that is accomplished.
And the Inference ts that being a
modest man, seeking nothing for him
self alone, and only for the cause for
which he Is working, the New Jersey
governor might get behind Cox if the
..- latter showed evidences of militancy on
the side of the wets.
,i. ' However, the sentiment for Cox which
i; beginning to be noticeably here, pro
ceeds not alone from the fact that he
would appear to be satisfactory on the
liberalisation program which so many
' tf the Democrats think will be the out
. -come of the prohibition controversy it
proceeds from the fact that Cox has
- carried Ohio three times and Is still
popular there.
JUSCOHTEWT IS FOUND
, And It is very Important for the Demo
crats to select their candidates with an
, eye to the big states like Ohio. A presl
Qpntial election can be won by the Dem
.ocrat with the West and South and
the addition of Ohio. Moreover. Gov
ernor Cox doesn't bear the responsibility
for acta Wllsonlan. Both Palmer and
vj MoAdoo are part and parcel of the Wll
. son regime.
In counting up the resentment vote
: - which any administration In power for
. ! . eight years is bound to accumulate, the
" selection of a candidate who would stand
en a-record outside of Washington is a
consecration not to be lightly dlsre
tsrded. For if the truth be known, the
. . Democratic pilgrims from all parts of
; tha country who visit the various head
quarters here tell plaintive tales of dla
" - content In the fold.
. ' The results. In Georgia are none too
pleasing to the White House now that
the complete returns are available. Nor
, ' .can It be said that the assured presence
u of William Jennings Bryan as a delegate
at San Francisco is altogether a cause
O' JubHation In executive quarters.
CHAMP CLARK'S BOOM
It Is too early for the Democratic
' ' leaders themselves to make predictions.
They all admit the situation Is full of
uncertainties. Some of the influential
men here are for Parlmer. some for Mfc
Adoo and some for Cox, and there appears
- on ; the horison the beginnings of a
Champ Clark boom.
This may develop seriously for the
, "ether candidates. Clark la well liked by
. the organisation men of the party and
. they will control the convention. He
brings to his case a feeling of sympathy
over What happened in 1912 when he
bad a majority of the delegates enough
to win in a Republican convention, but
not enough under the two-thirds rule of
. the. Democrats. ,
rE ACE FAR FROM SETTLED
- Moreover, Hearst who is so powerful
a (acior In the success of Hiram John
son, ould "'iw l,io h rrs-i-t to C'ark.
As for Wilson antagonisms, Clark
v.t ulan'i inner. i Uiose. u,a ins record at

BEET SUGAR, ALTHOUGH
ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE
CANE, MUCH CHEAPER
Washington, April 24. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
The chaotic condition of the sugar mar
ket In this country Is shown in a state
ment of range of prices In a letter Sen
ator McNary has received from Truman
G. Palmer, executive secretary, of the
United States Sugar Manufactures' as
sociation, representing the beet sugar
Interests.
Palmer aas that never before has
there been such a differenct range of
prices quoted at the same same time.
Usually beet sugar In quoted only a
shade below cane, as they scarcely can
be distinguished after refining, but this
year beet 'sugar has Deen selling four,
five and even six cents below cane
sugars.
While Cuban granulated was selling in
New York at 14 and 16 cents, Louisiana
granulated stood at 18 cents and raw
sugar from Brazil and elsewhere In
South America sold at 14 and 15 cents.
The American beet sugar crop, 760,000
tons, has In large part already been
sold at 10 cents seaboard.
'The Palmer letter is one of a series
Senator McNary is accumulating for use

tion, whiqfi he will direct as chairman
of a subcommittee of the senate com
mittee on agriculture.
He Is also head of the shoe and leather

COMMITTEE 10
(Continued from Pile One)
empowered to hear all complaints of
tenants and investigate with the idea
of "letting down" the building code if
present regulations prove to be a hind
rance to building.
A storm broke Friday afternoon in
council when J. Allen Harrison protested
the mayor's program of investigating
rentals and punishing profiteers. The
mayor "called" Harrison for criticising
his motives and Herbert Gordon at
tempted to calm the storm.
Commissioner Barbur suggested a
"let-down" In the housing code after
Gordon asserted that the real need of
the city was more homes and less
stringent regulations on building.
"AFTER TOtT,M SATS BAKER
"You're Just the kind we are after
you are a menace to the community,"
fired Mayor Baker after Harrison con
tended that passage of a rent-regulating
ordinance was a poor means of prevent
ing profiteering.
"You ought to go down the line and
prosecute all the profiteers for in
stance the food and clothing prof
iteers," shouted Harrison.
"You know we can't regulate them
I know your kind," continued the
mayor. "You always come before this
council to attack things. We'd have a
poor community if its citisena were all
like you." -Harrison
and Gordon both Jumped to
their feet in answer to Mayor Baker's
statements, 'claiming that the mayor
waa insulting in his remarks. Gordon
asserted that ha knew Harrison for
many years, that he was a good
citlsen and that . ha didn't propose to
see mm publicly insulted. "I may come
before tha council, again am I to be
insulted?" quizzed Gordon.
CALLS 1M BIRDS ''".-'
i "You're apt to be if you rub ma tha
wrong way," fired the mayor. Tm
tired of you birds coming here to pre
sent your private Interests."
The fire finally subsided with Gor
don tendering a dinner invitation to
Mayor Baker in order that he could
have an opportunity to show tha mayor
his books. . Mayor Baker . accepted. -

technic school waa Friday night en
larged by the school board by an
other director. A. -C. Newell, and a
representative of the Allied Printing
Trades council, W. E. Kimsey. . The
petition of the Multnomah Typo
graphical union for additional rep
resentation waa denied on the ground
that it waa sufficiently represented
in the Allied Printing Trades coun
cil. '
The communication from the Allied
Printing Trades council and the Typo
graphical union, recently submitted to
the board, protesting against the in
stallation of the course and petitioning
that if it be Installed they might be
favored with' representation on the
committee, waa read. Discussions as to
the advisability of putting in the course
vere Interrupted by the board, which
declared the question of installation had
been definitely settled and that what
was now wanted was the best advice
that could be obtained.
UNION IS QUERIED
Because of the protests of the union
men against putting In the course, the
question was raised as to whether they
desired representation for purposes of
cooperation or obstruction, and an ex
pression of intention was asktd. In
this the board agreed.
"If you set in, it will be an Idea you
are favoring," explained Chairman O.
M. Plummer. "If you are not favorable
to it, If you want to go on the commit
tee with an idea of opposing the course,
such a committee would be absolutely
useless
George H. Howell, speaking for the
Allied Printing Trades council, replied
that it was impossible for him to make
a declaration of purpose without know
ing Just what would take place, but
that the council would accept a position
on the committee and resign, should it
be unable to cooperate.
MANSER DISPLEASES
"We are not opposed to vocational
training," said Howell, "and never have
been, but we do not approve of the man
ner this has been brought to the board.
We feel the workers in the printing
trade should have had consideration at
the previous meeting at which this sub
ject was brought up."
"If the unions believe a matter, of
this kind is of such Interest to them, we
have no objection," said M. K Crum
packer, attorney for the Newspaper

TWO PREMIERS SETTLE ON
IMPORTANT TREATY POINTS
By A. E. Johnson
United New Staff Correspondent.
London, April 24. The allied, premiers
sitting at San Remo are reported to
have agreed definitely upon the princi
pal points of settlement on two of the
most difficult phases of the peace
treaty. The first is as to German mili
tary power and the second' with respect
to reparation a
Premier Mlllerand, according to In
formation reaching London, Is reported
to have agreed to a compromise whereby
he removes his opposition to measures
tending to lighten Germany's Indemnity
burdens, while Lloyd George agrees to
the ideas advanced by France aa neces
sary to extract the teeth of the' German
military machine.
. While there is yet a mass of unfin
ished work to be disposed of by the
premiers, advices here express the be
lief that final settlement is in sight on
the two propositions named.
Mlllerand, it is declared, is willing to
agree to an indemnity program in ac
cordance with the recommendations put
forward by the international conference
at Brussels. -
Lloyd George in turn is expected to
support Mlllerand In his insistence upon
refusing Germany's request for a greater
armed force and continuation of "her
general staff.
BRITISH PREMIER DECLARES
FRENCH CLAIMS FANTASTIC
San Remo, April 24. Premier Lloyd
George Friday brought Into the open the
issue that has divided the allied prem
iers since the first meeting of the San
Remo conference.
In a statement to correspondents the
British premier took direct issue with
views expressed , by Premier Mlllerand
as regards Germany. He did not refer
directly to Mlllerand, but In view of tha
reiterated statements of "tbe French
premier aa to the concern with which
France looks upon Germany's attitude
toward the peace treaty, the interview
of Lloyd George brought the split fmong
the allied leaders into sharp relief.
I' BENCH TIEW RIDICULED
Against the French contention that
in her failure to meet the treaty terms,
Germany Is shewing a revival of mili
tarism, which constitutes a threat ' to
Franca, Lloyd George declared that the
idea that Germany js now a. "military
ALIEN
COGNIZED
REPUBLIC
menace, or a menace to peace, was .fan
tastic" . , . ,
Against ; Milierand's firm stand :for
compelling compliance with the treaty
terms by military means. Lloyd George
took the view that Germany bad J; not
shown bad faith and that any violation
of the. treaty, at the. most, had been
technical. He, declared that Germany
waa a "sick country" and that feohse
quently the allies could not demand of
her aa much as could be demanded of
a healthy country." j
REGRETS AMERICAN STAND I
The British premier expressed regret
that the United States would noti accept
a mandate for Constantinople and dis
cussed the Near Eastern situation, t but
the opening Issue which be drew with
Premier Mtllerand was clearly the most
important development that has sprung
from the allied conferences since f the
sessions of Versailles. i '
Talk of the possibility of PremJerMU
lerand withdrawing from the conference
unless the French opinion prevailed' has
been current for two or three daysj.and
in view of the tatements of; LJoyd
George In his Interview It is not: be
lieved that any back-down on his part
is likely. i
MILLERAND IN "POCKET" I t
If Lloyd George and Nittl stand firm,
therefore, for modification In the treaty
terms, or at ieaat taking a liberal View
of their Interpretations, there iwid be
nothing for Mtllerand to do but; return
to Paris and present the sttuaUon the
senate and chamber of deputies, :,
It is generally conceded thatj MUler
and cannot accede to the demands of
Italy and England, aa regards itha at
titude that shall be taken toward -Germany,
without bringing about the bver
throw of his government.
Lloyd George said a note replying to
President Wilson regarding Constanti
nople and Armenia was now being draft
ed and would be ready in a few days.
He regretted that America was not' par
ticipating in the Turkish settlement,
especially those problems dealing .with
the protecting of minority peoples.
The council was horrified, he said,
when the Armenia representatives said
Armenia would not be represented, in
some districts at least, because all the
Armenians there had been killed off.
It was absurd to fear for American oil
concessions, the British premier assert
ed, the German concessions alone being
aubject to seisure. j
AMERICA'S ABSENCE DEPLORED '
Lloyd George deplored America's ab
sence the more because her views, are
referred to by European countries as
those of a helper in the world's redemp
tion. Referring to the trouble in the Ruhr
district and the German request for per
mission to double her army, he said a
satisfactory settlement probably oould
be reached, but refrained from par
ticularising. No proposal has ever been
mde however, Lloyd George main
tained, to bring economic pressure
a?inat Germany to compel compliance
with her treaty obligations.
The economic situation in Germany he
deemed very bad, the populace of eome
districts being on half rations.
In the event of Germany's failure to
deliver the promised quota of ; coal to
France or to riiim- o. . j
other means than economic force would
k i compel her to make good,
ne said, but these steps would have to
be taken together by all the allies,
GERMANY FACES TROUBLES
Hfermany now faceB reat internal
aimculties. Including insubordination of
some districts to the commands dt the
Berlin government. JBut the ; premier
thought it folly to occupy the Ruhr dis
trict, for instance, in the hope ;of com
pelling Bavaria to obey the central
authority.
The fear of Bolshevism in Germany
had not been exaggerated but Lloyd
Oeorge expressed the belief that the
Pe,?M, .f ,Germany at large were too
well disciplined to accept Boletieviem en-
iV' Vn KaiP so
lution had been a miserable failure.
It is now considered possible that the
conference may last over Monday. :

The Daily Mail is indignant at th
"junker trick" of the Germans in en
gineering this request and hopes the al
lied premiers win not seriously dlacuss

and continue her militia.
The French foreign office regards the
presentation of these notes as the initial
move In a carefully planned diplomatic

MEETING TO ELECT
STATE CHAIRMAN
The Democratic state central com
mittee has been called to meet in
Portland May 1 for the purpose of
electing a state chairman to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Harvey G. Starkweather, who an
nounced his resignation immediately
following his entrance aa a candi
date for the Democratic nomination
as United States senator against Sen
ator George E. Chamberlain.
When Starkweather announced his
resignation as state chairman he also
announced the appointment of J. D.
Brown to succeed him and to fill the of
fice until after the primary election and
the subsequent organization of the new
state central committee. This action did
not meet with the approval of various
members of the state central committee
for different reasons. One contention is
to the effect that, under the law. it is
provided that the chairman of the state
central committee ts to be elected by
members of the committee. Therefore
the committeemen, or apparently the
great majority of them, take the position
that the appointment of Brown is con
trary to the statute and therefore null
and void.
It is also contended . that Starkweath
er's coup was In the interest of his own
candidacy and against that of Senator
Chamberlain, which, the friends of the
senator point out. Is contrary to the
spirit and practice of the state organi
zation, bound by custom as it is to pre
serve neutrality among all party candi
dates In primary campaigns.
It is currently understood that Dr. C.
J. Smith of Portland will be chosen as
state chairman when the central com
mittee meets May 1. Additional Interest
hangs about the choice of the chairman
at this time In view of the fact that his
term will run only until the meeting of
the newly elected Committee following
the primary election when a new chair
man would have to be elected. It is the
assumption that the chairman elected
May 1 would be reelected in June.
