L
TO PRESIDENT
Virginia Senator Who Framed His
State's Platform, Which Was
Indorsed by Wilson, Esteemed.
Other Prospective Nominees in
White House Favor are Davis,
Cox Houston, McAdoo, Palmer.
By Davfd' Iawrcnce
tCopymUtad. 1920)
Washington. May 28. President
Wilson's approval of the .-Virginia
platform, which, it is no secret, was
largely the work of Senator. Carter
Glass, is the first expression from
the White House of what the presi
dent would like to have adopted by
the Democratic national convention
at San Francisco. He does not ask
for the unqualified Indorsement of
the covenant and peace treaty, but
"prompt ratification without reser
vations which would impair -its es
sential integrity."
There is the Democratic national plat
form on the issue condensed in 10 words.
Inasmuch as the president considers the
T.ode reservation . to ' be "nullifying
reservations," and inasmuch as he has
already indorsed the Hitchcock reserva
tions, the Democratic claim is unchanged
from that which the majority of the
Democrats stood for In the various votes
In the senate. The big query is whether
the Remibllcans will stand by the Lodge
reservations or the Hiram Johnson pro
gram of no treaty ana no league ai au.
O WIT STATE I3TDOBSE8 GLASS
But the president's indorsement of the
Vh-e-tnin. nintform and his words of com
mendation for Senator Glass may have
another significance. The; junior senator
rnm Virginia has beenl indorsed for the
presidency by the Democrats of his
state In convention assembled. He him
self is a strong supporter of the candi
dacy of William Gibbs McAdoo. But
suppose,, for; various reasons,-the dele
sates to the national convention decide
that .MeA4w'Oannot win;?! ?roinatea.
To .whom would the McAdoo" strength
'be thrown? Kpt to Palmer for -there
tl ty. seated rivalry between McAdoo
and Palmer camps which will not vanish
on the convention floor. Senator Glass
is a man after President, Wilson's own
heart. ; He is a fearless combatant, and
uncom promising fighter, and a man who,
as thairmaa of the house committee: of
banking and currency, helped frame the
present federal reserve act and later

Propriety of
Dance Robes
f Causes Clash
Miss Jean Wold Asserts Mrs. Far
rell of Y. W. C. A. Objected
But Latter Says It's Mistake
Supposed differences of opinion
regarding the propriety of costumes
designed for (the exhibition next Sat
urday on the lawn of Mrs. Helen
Ladd, Corbett's home. Sixth and Jef
ferson streets, led Saturday after
noon! to an abrupt change of plans.
Instead of Its being under T. W. C.
A. auspices. Miss Jean Wold, In
structor of Physical education at the
T. W. C A., announced that the
women's building at the University
of Oregon would reap the benefits.
Miss Wold said that after a con
troversy - with Mrs. Robert S. Farrell,
Chairman of-the physical education com
mittee of ' the association, she had ap
pealed to the participants themselves and
also to Mrs. Corbett. In each case, she
said, i she I Was sustained, and on this
basis made kuown the change in object
ive of the benefit performance.
.Mrs. Farrell said Saturday night that
she was greatly surprised when she was
told of the change of plans and said "I
must have made a. stupid blunder."
Mrs. Farrell's version of the con
troversy Is that, being newly installed
as chairman of the committee, she felt
she should know something of the plans
for the benefit, inasmuch as it came
under her Jurisdiction, and she would be
asked for a report to the board. Accord
ingly, she said, she asked Misa Wold a
few questions, one of . which was as to
the costumes.
"At my question Miss Wold flew into:
a rage." Mrs. Karrell continued. "She
Bf.emerl to think I was questioning the
modesty of the costumes for the dances."
The change In plans came after all the
arrangements, including , the final an
nouncements for the society pages of
the Sunday papers, had been prepared.
To clothe appropriately the dancers in
the interpretation of classic phases based
on Chopin's' works and the compositions
of Brahms. Greek costumes were select
ed, the robes falling in straight lines
from above the waist to the ankle. The
Athenian style of opening was left from
mid-thigh down, with dainty underthings
of material and hue to match.
"There Is no use in being so prudish,'
Miss Wold commented.
"I had no opportunity to approve or
disapprove of the costumes, said Mrs.
Farrell, who intimated that the mere fact
of her having Inquired , about ' them
seemed sufficient to cause the breach.

Question Arises Whether Oregon
G. 0. P. Can Desert Johnson
. ! ! After First Ballot. .
Oregon delegates to the Republi
can national convention are now re
ceiving intensive instruction in the
real meaning, the legal construction
and the conscientious Import of the
promise, "I will use my best ef
forts." Seemingly, in Inside political
circles, there is a wide divergence
of opinion as to what those fateful
words really mean.- i
The law. under which all of the dele
gates ' With s the exception of Wallace
McCamant filed ' their ' declarations of
candidacy, requires that the prospective
delegate: sign a pledge which reads :
"If I am elected as delegate to the
national Republican convention- to be
held at Chicago on the, eighth day 'of
June, 1920. ; I will use my best efforts
to bring about the nomination- of those
persons for president and vice-president
Of the United States who receive the
largest number of votes at the coming
primary election in the state of Oregon."
KKOTTT POTNTS IKTOLVED
Now all of these delegates, "with the
exception of McCamant, are being as
sisted by many interested parties in de
ciding just what the" definite and cer
tain meaning of .that pledge may be. 1
j It' Is, really, a very pretty little tangle,
potential of hard feelings ; and much
contention.
j The friends of Hiram W. Johnson,
whose nomination ' the ( Oregon delega

Washington generally. - If William
G. -McAdoo does noV emerge: from;
the convention at San Francisco as
the 'Democratic -nominee for presi-
dent, there . is a-Jot of bad guessing
going on.
- The chief elements of McAdoo's
strength" are his notable public record
during ,.the war and before,, the belief
that be : will harmonise the party , his
four-square ..support, of the Wilson ' ad
ministration policies, and the confidence
he appears to inspire in even measure
with both business interests and labor.

" Besides all this, he is from the highly
important, state of New York, which
his friends are confident he can win at
the election over any man in sight on
the Republican side of the fence. There
is no question, of his ability or his ad
ministrative experience, and about ..the
only questioning comment that is. heard
Is that f he will be cartooned as the
"crown prince" because he is the - son-in-law
of the president. His friends re
ply that this is "small stuff and'would
likely react in his favor. '
McAdoo is even' considered fortunate in
being opposed by Charles F. Murphy,
the Tammany boss. Murphy has. con
trol of the New York delegation through
Tammany, and the unit rule, and New
York forecasts are that the New York
vote will not be cast for McAdoo so long
as there is any possibility that Murphy
can form a combination with Taggart of
Indiana i and the lesser bosses to bring
r bout a i selection more favorable to the
Tammany taste. Governor Alfred E.
Smith of New York may receive the
first vote of that state as a compliment,
tnd the opportunity to name Vice Presi
dent Marshall or Speaker 'Champ Clark
would be welcomed.. . There are . some
active McAdoo men on the New York
delegation, however, and they are plan
ning to make a fight against the applica
tion of the unit rule.
TAMMAK'r IS OPPOSED
Murphy's opposition, according to the
rule of the past, will tend to make, Mc
Adoo rather more popular. Tammany
has been against every popular leader
ot Democracy for a long time. In suc
cession ft was against Cleveland, Bryan
and Wilson. Parker was the one candi
date it gladly supported, and he was
buried by a popular avalanche. a
As secretary of the treasury McAdoo
became identified with the .'ir.ancuig of
the war, the establishment of the fed
era) reserve act, the farm loan board,
and the system of war risk insurance.
He is for a real, league of nations, he
has aided the cause of equal suffrage,
and there is no question about his- car
rying forward the progressive measures
of the administration.
From; states outside -the. favorite son
zones reports come of ay strong McAdoo
sentiment. From such 'states as Kan

are -uniform, and in other states, where

CERTAIN TO BE
SECOND CHOICE
Lowden Backers Profess to See
Distinct Trend of Sentiment in
Favor of Illinois Governor.
Wood Managers Claim Ten From
Oregon and Lowden Three
From Here After the Break.
By Harold IV Jacobs t
kChicago, May 29. (U. P.) The
Republican presidential notninee will
be a "second choice candidate."
The pre-conventlon campaign has
undeniably failed to give any of the
aspirants for the nomination suf
ficient strength to win on the first
ballot. The winner, therefore, must
obviously draw his principal sup
port from delegates who will vote
for him as their second choice.
This1 fact Is admitted now by leaders
of all the candidates organizations. It
has been known to them for many weeks,
however, and the canny ones have been
counting on Just such a situation since
the first primaries and. state conven
tions were held. f
With the gathering; of the convention
forces here the work of repairing polit
ical fences has begun. .
STRATEGISTS TAKE CHARGE
As the various delegations arrive the
veteran politicians of each rival organ
ization will take over the work of the
district leaders, keeping the' first and
second choice delegates in line and
reaching out to win as many of "the
other fellows" as they can. Probably a
score of secret conferences of various
leaders were under way here tonight in
preparation for the approaching drive on
delegates.
This being Governor Frank O. Low-
den's home state, there is a distinct
lxiwden atmosphere here and many
political observers are inclined to view
the situation through Lowden-colored
glasses. These men 'profess to see a
definite trend toward the governor in
the last few days. They explain this by
sarin - that several of ' the big party
leaders who previously had limited their
activities to opposition to Major General
Leonard Wood and Senator Hiram Jttha
son. have finally decided to consolidate
their support bn Lwdeh. There . la no
ocular or aural evidence of this ; Just In

Newsprint Is Not

Salem, May 29. There is no statutory

this manner of sale, according to an
opinion prepared by Attorney General
Brown for the guidance of W. A. Dal

The Oregon law requiring the stamp
ing of exact weight of contents on the
