I, THE OREGOlfr DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY, JUNE 7. lflSO. FIGHTING SPIT TAME CHICAGO DECLARES WRITER By Lowell Mellett Written for th. Vnitti Pt (By Special Amnnent With Collier's Weekly.) , Chicago, June 7.- There ia some thing' wrong with this convention, or with Its preliminary ' "arrange . ments. I've been here 10 hours now and not a soul has whispered the jnslde low-down In my ear. This Isn't usual and it .isn't right., , s Any other convention s would -be dif ferent. By this time the stuff that roes in at one ear and out both ears would have been busy taking- it -in and. letting It out. The inside low-down is what you get from the early arrivals. s The earlier arrivals get it from .the other, earlier arrivals of four years ago. eight years ago multiply indefinitely .by four they would have had it all .ready for us comparatively late comers. ' In strict est confidence, they, would -'have laid down exactly what was due to happen at any given stage of, the week's pro ceedings. :,-." OLD TIMERS DISAPPOINTED All the old timers are here but they haven't a thing to whisper. This goes for the distinguished Washington corre spondents -and for the political experts from all the. home town papers. Don't put - this down against the newspaper men, however They know what's do ing:, all right. The trouble Is there isn't anything doing. Not .usual, it is not right, for this reason: It. indicates an apathy that cannot be called good for. the Ameri can people. What this -country needs today, to speak in the senatorial phrase, is a good fight. Unless this convention develops one, all the turmoil that is boiling within the people will find no useful outlet. just what is responsible for the state of things is hard to say. National Chairman Witl Hays recognized the need of a first-class Irish picnic within the ranks of,, the Republican party months ago,- and has been bending his energies toward promoting one. He did it by working toward a free, and fair convention.' Perhaps the lack of fight ing spirit thus far shown is due to the lack of a tangible target for attack. The old guard has furnished that tar get ; but, while the inner loop hotels are filled with delegates ready to fight th old guard at the dr6p of a hat, they haven't found any - good reason yet to consider that ' the hat has been dropped. Johnson has talked of fight, and so has Moses, but neither of them is absolutely sure with whom he's talk ing about fighting.-') BATTLE LOOKS TAME : If things : do not get : better soon, . it is going to be the most peaceable battle ever fought. ( Meantime, any man who needs or de sires a little national advertising has a grand opportunity In. this convention city. If he wilt drop into Chicago with something worth writing about, he Will find the reporters, who outnumber the j delegates two to one. ready and eager to do him a good turn. - . oline for the convention week will be simple to solve. In spite of the slight demand, how ever, Sundfty motorists were supplied, where gas was available, with only 20 per cent-of tank capacity, and salesmen did not take the word of drivess for the tank content, either. They measured the , supply ' In practically every tank whose owner sought gas, BATIOX CARDS CEBTAIX" That ration i cards will be Issued to motorists is practically certain. Mayor Baker declares. : The only alternative for the card's is a general and very will ing cooperation on the part of motorists in a conservation 'prografn. -- Hoarding has not been discovered of ficially, Although ' garage men : report frequent calls for gas from drivers whom they believe to be draining their tanks and refilling, that they . may get a capacity supply., " ; Logging: .

Industries lanrl firnutra usHur motor trucks mid cat erpUUtrs are being hampered In their operations- by 1 the gasoline shortage, which threatens to tie up' some logging plants. Local oil men see no immediate relief. Pleasure cars are almost out; of the running. ? '."...-" . Shortage Causes Concern ' Seaside, June 7, The shortage of gas oline is causing concern to the men who hold the contract to transport to school children living- more ' than, two miles from the city. : They have managed' to date to get a sufficient supply .':- ,- LOVDEN-BUTLER COMBINE IS SEEN (Continued From Pace One). nations. It is understood that the first state -called, Alabama, win announce: T "Alabama has no candidate and yields to Illinois." The second name, it is said, will be that of Major General Leonard Wood. In presenting his name. Arizona is expected to yield to Kansas. , The other candidates probably will be presented In the order of their state, which would make Senator Hiram Johnson's name third. Campaign managers and lieutenants were making a last-day drive upon dele gates today in the Interests of candi dates for the. Republican presidential nomination. ., - t Although the balloting was not ex pected to begin before Thursday, state caucuses scheduled for today were looked upon as closing: the door to gen eral Incursions into the various delega tions, through practical determination of how the states would stand on their first vote. ; The real maneuvering will get under way after the initial test of strength. In the opening ballot but so far as first choice Is concerned, politicians believed the first ' apportionment f delegates will be well determined by to night. WOOD SEEMS I3T LEAD. TTbe best available Information regard ing overnight developments In the ap portionment of first i choice . delegates would indicate the following possible voteon the first ballot: : 1 Major General Leonard Wood, 255; Governor f Frank O.

' There were two outstanding features today a definite "trend" toward But ler, who bad figured but little hereto fore and .discovery that the supporters of Herbert Hoover, supposedly the veri est amateurs in politics, had borrowed a leaf from their, more practical breth ren and apparently built up a surpris ingly strong ; aggregation of second choice delegates. . , .j As regards Hoover, his backers have literally carried out his canny advice, voiced shortly after he aligned himself with the Republicans, to keep his nam out of the primaries and state conven tions and work among delegates already committed to another candidate to get their second choice. i , HOOTEB WAITIWG AT GATE Investigation has disclosed that there has been considerable strength developed In this way. From authoritative sources it was learned today that Hoover's name may not be presented to the convention in the first group of nominations, but withheld until his organization can bring their second choice strength into play.
