FIGHT ON WOOD
MAY GIVE LI
IIP.
But the General Will Go to Chi

Backed by Good Organization.

By Robert J. Bender,

Washington, May -, 8. While the
bid line Republican leaders; have
their cap set for shelving General
Wood- the undeniable fact tn the
Htuatlon is this; : j -
that General Wood is going to5 the
eonvention with more votes by far on
the first ballot than anr other ! candi
date. II Is grotngr to have In Chfeagro a
convention organization under the lead
ership of Frank .Hitchcock, the Jike of
which will not be equaled by another
candidate. He is going to have the
moral support, of precedent, which" -in the
pant has shown that the combination of
K strong get-away in the balloting, plus
Organization to maintain or increase the
tnomentum of such balloting, has re
turned the candidate possessing both, the
victor. . i ; " -
HU MAT REPEAT
In short, the situation today, as events
move rapidly .toward the convention,
bear' a striking similarity to the situa
tion which existed within the party in
tsi. . j
Then Justice Hughes occupied the
am? positions in! the race as Wood does
today. On the Opposite pole to Hughes
fas Roosevelt, even as Johnson today.
.'And between Hughes and Koosevelt were
Senators Weeks, Cummins and Sherman.
ex-Senator Burton of Ohio and former
Vice President. Fairbanks. Between
Wood and Johnson today are Governor
Lowden. Senator Harding, Senator Poln
flexter and others.
SOME COMPROMISE TALK i
In 1916 it was finally decided, at a
I age corresponding' to the present stage
Jn the race this; year, to begin- a boom
for Klihu Itout as a compromise satis
factory to those "afraid" of Roosevelt
and not wanting Hughes. Today we
have! Knox launched by those "afraid"
of Johnson and not wanting Wood.
When the convention opened and bal
loting began in 1916 Hughes had 256 Ms
votes on the firnt ballot : Weeks 105.
Boot: 103, Cummins 85, Burton 77'A.-Kair-banks
74 Sherman 66, Roosevelt 65
and Knox 66. .
This year Wood will have about the
Same number of votes on the first 1331161
possibly 50 more as Hughes had in
IP16. - Following him will be Lowden
with about 150 votes and Johnson with
about 140, and scattered votes from there
en down the! line.
HITCHCOCK BACKED HUGHES
In 1916 the, spirit was strong to shelve
. Hughes and put in Hoot. There was a
movement started, also,: and meetings
were held to; attempt to organize it, for
the launching of General Wood as a
compromise, f But the insurmountable
" difficulty wa that there was no big or
ganization behind either that could cope
with, i the Effective organization con
structed and maintained for Hughes by
Hitchcock. ,' !- ;' . . ,..,.
Today, again the spirit is strong In
much the same ouarter as it manifested
Itself against Hughes in 1916 to shelve
Wood. And the big admitted problem, of
the forces opposed to Wood's nomina
tion is whether they can organize rap
Idly enough j and are strong enough to
beat the strong organization Wood has
built up and; will maintain under, Hitch
cock at Chicago. . . j
IOWB.ES WELL ORGANIZED
There is one big exception, however.
In this analogy between the 1920 and
1916 convention 'situations, namely that
Governor Lowden will be stronger, both
as regards delegates and organization,
than any of the candidates who ran
between Hughes on the one hand and
Roosevelt on the other four years age.
- The Lowden organization at Chicago
; will be second in strength -only to that
of Wood and will have the added moral
support of the home-ground atmosphere.
Senator Johnson! will not have anything
like the organization 'either of Wood or
Iowden or anything approaching the
strength of the f Roosevelt organization
lnr 1916. . . -.- . r
Therefore, in the early balloting, ' the
" convention promises to be a battle be
tween the Wood and Howden organi
zations. While perhaps most pertinent
to this ballot, nevertheless the Baltimore
convention of 1912 happened to offer a
fcituation quite similar to that of the
forthcoming convention, at Chicago. At
Baltimore there; were about as i many
: candidates as there will be at Chicago
this year. . Champ Clark went to the
convention 'with: the most delegates and
. the strongest organization. Next to him
both in point of delegates and strength
of organization was Wood row Wilson.
On the first ballot Clark polled 440
votes to 324; for Wilson. In the tenth
ballot Clark got a majority of the con
tention, with S56 to Wilson'si 350&.
Thereafter, however. Clark ro'de. steadily
downward, while Wilson climbed and on
the forty-sixth ballot Clark had 84 votes
to Wilson's 9?0.
KEES CHASCE FOR LOWNDEX
The votes at Chicago, outside those of
Wood and Lowden, will largely be con
trolled by the Penrose and Johnson
wlngof the party. The Penrose organi
. cation wants Knox as the nominee and

MARKET BILL GIVEN .
BALLOT INDORSEMENT
ii -: ; i
(Contined From I P Onal
tivi associations, the ; farmer receives a
higher price and the consumer lower by
elimination of the needless middleman
or speculator, it is claimed. And with
the aid of the state in organizing asso
ciations and obtaining information to be
disseminated through ; bulletins, farmers
last night expressed themselves as opti
mistic over the outlook; if the market
commission bill ! becomes law.
FARMERS ECHO COMPLAINT .
It was recommended after farmers
had explained the : widespread and
spreading discontent among them over
present conditions. They ' told how the
price was beaten down en them, how
they were forced to sell at a loss at
times, how they received only a email
portion of the final price that is paid by
the consumer, and how Front street men
controlled the market. . ...
Bombshells were thrown at the spec
ulator, and consumers pointed out that
little had been done to bring prices down
and eliminate the differential, between
the cost of a product when it leaves the
producer and when . it is purchased by
thesconsumer. I i
Although the Non-partisan League was
not mentioned, it Is generally under-
"stood that the meeting yesterday was a
counter-move to forestall further Invas
ion of this state by that organization.

were H. E. Smith, A. N. Arnesen and H.

Johnson would; prefer Knox to Lowden.
Penrose, however, is not unalterably op
posed to Lowden, and Wood might be
expected to prefer Lowden to Knox if
he felt he, himself, could not win. Frank
Hitchcock has many friends in the Low
den organization. ; .
So, figured from the 'basis of. mathe
matical chances, many political strate
gists today believe Lowden has the best
chance for the nomination, if Wood is
finally eliminated.

Mississippi Valley! Hard Hit
t
(By United News) ',' ;
Chicago, May ,: 8.- Yodelling that
cheery bit about ;"hdw you going to
keep 'em down on the farm";; in
Western farming districts today is
as healthy as singing '"'J.he hymn of
hate" and offering three loud hochs
for the kaiser in Piccadilly .circus.
Never during the war or at any other
time have the farmers of the .Middle
West been so seriously handicapped by
labor shortage as now.
Conservative figures, amplified by the
reports of the department of agricul
ture, place the man shortage in the Mis
sissippi valley at 250,000, or practically
20 per cent
ACRES TURNED TO GRASS
Alarmists "are pointing" to the unprece
dented sales of grass seed this year and
say that the farmers, unable to com-,
pete with industrial wages, are giving
up in despair and are planting . their
acres in grass. They say that the coun
try, will have this matter brought to the
attention of their pocketbooks this fall
when under-production will cause an
unprecedented era of high prices. ;
More conservative agricultural experts
say this condition is not as bad as paint
ed, but admit that there is food for con
siderable thought in the grow big, move
ment among owners of rich land in the
West to allow it to remain idle while
they work in industry, They say that
the shortage of floating labor will not
affect production to a noticeable extent
because 95 per cent of the farms in the
West are worked' by their owners with
out hired help. f ''
STUDY IS CONDUCTED
. A study of what the American farmer
is facing is contained in an investiga
tion of the subject by the Illinois 'Agri
cultural association. This organization.
representing 70,000 Illinois farmers, has
agents in each of the 102 counties in
the state. These agents were asked to
study their districts thoroughly and re
port. The results give no reason for tak
ing an Optimistic view of the farm labor
problem. : !
What Is true of Illinois applies to
every other Western agricultural state,
it is said.
Every county in Illinois has a farm
labor shortage' of from five to 100 men.
More significant, 35' per cent of this
shortage' represents the desertion of the
farm by sons of the owner or by men

SOLUTION OF PROBLEMS

the land itself. ,
: Dean Eugene Davenport of the .Uni
versity -of Illinois reported to the asso
ciation that farmers in the Illinois coal
raining districts are allowing their land
to lie idle while they and . their sons
work in the mines. ;
SOX8 DESERTING FARMS
More than 5000 farmers reported that
their sons had gone to the citjes within
the last year and left them without help.
The number of girls leaving the; farms
is almost as great.
Next to the attraction of big : city
wages, thai farmers give as reasons the
almost complete death of social life in
the country, caused by the desertion of
so! many young people,
Many Illinois farmers, cultivating 160
acres, are forced to do it alone.
Experienced farm labor is offered
from 50 to $75 a month with all living
expenses, but there are practically-no
applicants for the jobs.
VI 'w'll give any good man who will
work for me $75 a month," a garden of
his own. chickens, all meals, laundry' and
the use of ! my automobile," one farmer
wrote to the association. "All I. ask is
that he be an experienced man."
OFFER IS TEMPTING
Another offered $20 weekly, with all
living expenses, use of an. automobile,
billiard table and other home comforts.
There is nothing exceptional in either
of these of f era. The farmers are on their
knees., ,,': i.;v . . ... ! , :. I
"We will not be able to fill one- tenth
of the requests." said A. L. Bill Of the
association. If men only knew it, $75
on the farm is $300 in the city, but they
won't go. Most of the men who do come
to us are 'broken down specimens in
search of health. Farming requires ex
perience and we cannot , send most of
them out.", i
Married men who will bring ; their
wives to the farms are being offered
from $75 to $100 with few takers.
FARMERS ARE HELPLESS ' :
Asked for any possible solution of the
question, farm men simply : throw up
their hands. : j ':
"We cannot expect any solution1 until
farmers receive prices enabling them to
meet- industrial wages," said : B.- W.
Snow, agricultural authority; "The float
ing i labor - shortage is not the serious
question ; it is the desertion of the farm
by the boy who might one. day own it.
That is worrying everybody who knows
