cessive cost of sugar. . .
- The shortage Is world wide and there
Is a spirt ted bidding for the Cuban crop,
which forms the major supply tor the
United States. Recent cablegrams from
Resident Menocal of Cuba to Senator
McNarv stated that the drouth has made
serious inroads on expected deliveries,
and this condition has added to the
feverish situation.- .
Accumulated testimony shows that
great peculation has developed from ac
tivities of buyers of raw sugar, who have
had great quantities of refined sugar
on the commission basis and are holding
the refined product for advanced prices.
CONGRESS HELD GUILTY
Sugar experts say that these new boy
era usually buy raw sogar and sell It
with the refining profit added to the
ordinary profit in. the channel of trade.
The process this year has been to dis
organise -and create uncertainties, the
entire trade becoming anxious to make
Itself secure by buying far in advance.
. Transportation difficulties nave added
to the confusion and have created, local
famines where almost' any price was of

situation could have been controlled had
congress acted to continue the licensing
- system last fall, when Senator jncwary
was trying to secure action on his licens
ing bill. -
On August 8, ' President Wilson ap
peared before congress and delivered
his "cost of living" message. In which
the broad policy of checking ascending
prices was outlined, including extension
of the food control act, marking of all

paring, on the other hand, to go before
the country with a catalogue of public
business left undone, the principal Item
of which is the treaty of Versailles.
Congress departs with the country In
a state of war, so far as International
relations are concerned.
The Republicans, nevertheless, believe
they can best use their time and ener
gies out in the country emphasizing the
arbitrary tactics of the executive as the
reason for the continuance of a state

PARTY SPMT WTDEJrS
They will Insist that, nothing- con
structive along the lines of Republican
doctrine could be accomplished with a
Democratic president In possession of
the veto power, and that the only
remedy lies . in the election of a Re
publican president so that ' the party
may be In complete ' and harmonious
control of an branches of the govern
ment. ' :.
The decision to adjourn was not with
out embarrassment to the Republicans,
whose membership In the senate is tak
ing on more and more a definite cleav
age between conservatives and radicals.
The latter are In the minority, but they 1
can always combine with the Democrats
and cause .trouble. The radical Re
publicans, for Instance, wanted congress
to stay in session and take steps to
curb profiteering, and (keep on investi
gating campaign . expenditures.
Ths Democrats are anxious to nave
the campaign under perpetual . investi
gation, believing that the bulk of the
funds has been collected or win be
collected by the Republicans, But the
nservative Republicans have had
enough trouble with their : radical
minority. - - -
Senator Lodge has had his hands full
from the beginning, keeping.: the Re
publican party ,' together in the senate.
Considering the fact that he has had
only a margin of two or three votes to
deal with, the Massachusetts leader cab
look retrospectively with , a good deal
of satisfaction, for In most instances
he kept the party together.
LODGE FEARS- RADICALS
To have - stayed In : session," it was
contended by some conservatives, might
have meant a loss of control by Senator
Lodge of - his leadership, for if - the
radical Republicans . should ' be disap
pointed by the Republican national con
vention, either in the selection of a
candidate or the drafting of the various
planks of . the ' party platform,' the ca
pacity of The i radical Republicans for
political mischlsf Inside the ranks will
he less- with congress In adjournment
than in session, . r -bi :
Taken' all In all, the adjournment of
congress means that both parties have
suspended publio business for the next
six months and that the presidential
and congressional campaign of 4.920 has
begun in - earnest. American foreign
policy remains undefined until the out
come of the November election is known.
Domestic legislation, especially ' the.
much talked of changes In the: tax laws
and the much mooted , Soldiers' . bonus.

parties confidently go forth to decide

REPUBLICANS FACE
CHAOIIC CONDITION
EVE OF MEET
Bf Maiden E. Few
Chicago, June 5 (LV N. S.)
These were the unprecedented out
standing features of the Republican
situation , today on the eve . of con
vention week:
From the practical political stand
point the convention : is leaderless
and the; incoming1; delegates 4 show
general symptoms of bewilderment.
Any one of the prominently mentioned
presidential candidates is now an actual
possibility, although the week's develop
ments have" badly shuffled the Cards of
Lowden and Wood. ' k :. H i
. A dark horse Is not Improbable ; prob
ably not more than a third of the total
number of delegates' of 984 are actually
under pledge and many of these pledges
are wobbly. ; f
COWFUSIOH GROWS ' U
. The ' prevailing confusion is a broth
brewed of these elements : The primary
system, the death of . Colonel Theodore
Roseevelt. Senator Penrose's serious ill
cess, the strange mixup of the southern
delegates, who heretofore have been "de
livered" at the psychological moment,
party - disputes concerning the form of
the treaty - of peace and pre-eminently
the 'failure of any strong hand to assert
general party control.
How to hold and swing this amasingry
confused mass is the puzzle of machine
leaders who have never before partici
pated in a Republican convention which
did not respond to the dictates of one
or more dominating practical leaders.
The best they can predict now is that
he convention will take form, that lead
ership will assert itself and sentiment for
a candidate consolidate "upon the shoul
ders of a man who will satisfy.
LEADERSHIP LACKING
. The New York delegation Is a case in
point, though it exaggerates-' the situa
tion. Lt numbers S8. They will arrive
on Sunday. They are unpledged, except
as they are expected to yield the usual
"favorite sen" honors on the first ballot.
A meeting of the delegation will be held
Monday to canvass the candidates. But
there is no pronounced leader and after
Nicholas Murray Butler has been paid
bis compliment the members are likely
to be free to drift with the prevailing
political winda 4 , ' " -
John Wr DwighM a "district delegate
from New York, who has been attending
political conventions since 1880, said to
day: "I. have never seen such a wide
open convention. Each candidate will
have his chance here. I enjoy the situa
tion, believe lt is a healthy condition. I
believe there are 600 uninstructed dele
gate;: at this convention."
TKSERCURREirT FOR HARDING "
Although the Pennsylvania delegation
of 78 is under instructions to cast its
first ballot for Governor Sproul of that
state, with Sproul definitely under pledge
to carry through the wishes of. Senator
Penrose, no one knows exactly -which
candidate this tower of strength , will
prop, but today as yesterday the tip was
strong that Senator Harding of Ohio
could have lt if he needed it to go over
the too.';-;-' r 'U .-ri-i.:
Senator Hiram Johnson is not known
to be at peace with eastern Republicans
of power, but his friends here, and they
are numerous, ' are fighting desperately
for him as "ths man who can -win the
M.iHnn mt fall 1
Lowden, Wood, Johnson and poiudex-
ter are making a determined fight' on
the ground. Delegates are under- terrific
pressure from each of them, the former
three hoping for a quick decision when
balloting starts next Friday. Poindexter
appears: to be hoping for a late result.
The same Is true of Harding, who will
come, in late Sunday or Monday morn
ing, without fireworks. Butler men are
doing little active work on the ground.
Coolidge's friends are moderately active.
Hoover ' is a distinctly receptive candi
date, his legion of local workers say,
as they go about from buttonhole to
buttonhole talking him as a man of
works" and -high distinction." , This is
a peculiarly -quiet work, the psychology
of which rests, upon the power of calm
persuasion.
Wood - has less than 200 instructed
delegates, Johnson has little more than
100 instructed , delegates, and the third
member of the "big three," Governor
Lowden. has about the same, .The rest
are split, up -among the various favorite
sons, to whose support they are not
pledged, after the first several ballots.
LOOK FOR BIO BREAK
After the first ballots these delegates
are 'in Imminent danger of splitting up
into small , groups so numerous that to
weld them'' together In' a cohesive, vot
ing mass .would-be a herculean task.
Half a-dozen - men .are ambitious to
fall heir to the Jobof the -straw boss"
lying on a sick bed in Philadelphia, Not
one of them can now muster sufficient
strength-to weld the parts of an organi
sation . together. -Among those who are
prominently mentioned are A. T. Hert
of Kentucky, James B. Keeling - of In
diana, J. T. King of Connecticut. Charles
B. Warren of Michigan,' Jim Watson of
Indiana and Coleman IuPont of Delay-
ware.
The one show of strength revealed to
date -is that a good sized, majority of
the national committee is an ti-Wood.
Less than half a dozen ; Wood : dele
gates have: been seated out of -.nearly
150 contests in which he had entered
candidates.
Most of the contests have gone In fa
vor of Lowden. But this has been true.
not out of any particular leaning towards
the Illinois governor, but because as be
tween the governor and the general, the
Republican organization favors the gov
ernor. ' '

anything ever before seen in the state,
Whether this fact has had anvthinsr to
do with the aDnarent denirA of fh tuwuT
managers to overturn existing precedent
and - heretofore prevailing practice and
escape the ordeal is interesting, but un
known. And it is also worth more than
passing- notice that the Hoover manage
ment alone has . followed the generally
presumed intent of the law by filing its
statement of receipts and disbursements

WOOD EXPEJfSES ESTIMATED
While, of course, the definite figures
are not known, it Is generally understood
and believed that the Wood campaign in
Oregon cost between 830,000 and 835,000,
and maybe more.
It is also generally presumed that the
Lowden campaign in the state cost' be
tween $11,000 and $15,000, while the John
son headquarters and campaign expendi
tures are supposed to have ranged from
I15,UU0 to sza.uou. - . v
Coming, as it does, on the heels of the
charges and counter charges of enormous
campaign expenses that , have been
bandied about , during - the recent past
and coupled with the startling disclo
sures of the high cost of presidential pre
convention campaigns laid before the
senatorial investigating committee at
. Tjmfc uxv.owwftucjr gcuciai o -using,
and the evident'' reluctance of the
Oregon managers to open their books to
the public is interesting, to say the least.
REASON TOKKOWir .
Presumably it is not the intention of
the Wood managers to disclose the totals
of their Oregon expenditures unless com
pelled by law to do so. What the John
son and the Lowden managers intend to
do is problematical, June 5, tis the last
day. -under the law, when such state
ments may be filed without penalty ac
cruing, in 'all cases where the law . re
quires the statements to be made.
