WOOD Al HIS
CRAFTY MANAGER
ARE MAKING HAY
By David Lawrence
(C0P7Ti(Ui. 120) '
Chicago, June. 10.- Nothing as
sual not even - the ; perfunctory
meetings of . the . committee that
drafts a platform. This Republican
National convention -spent one day
trying to agree on something which
the- senate has spent a year debat
ing the treaty of peace and the
prospect Is that t least another day
will be spent doing the same thing.
This gives more time, for negotiations
between leaders and more time for deals
and transactions on second and" third
choices. Briefly the situation as to can
didates; has changed hv this respect. ,
WOOD GalKS GROtJXD
General Leonard Wood is dangerously
near the goal , and his crafty manager.
Prank Hitchcock, realising that the key
to the whole puzzle is in New York,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, is mak
ins inroads on the delegates from those
states.-. -. - .
The counter ' move of - the Lowden
forces, and, hideed, the old guardwho
don't want Wood nominated, is to hold
Pennsylvania and New York and Massa
chusetts solid for the tint few ballots
at least.
Accordingly the New York delegation
held a meeting and talked a lot about
solidarity and sticking together and ex
erting the most Influence by tactics of
unity instead of division. No vote was
taken and many New York delegates
would have liked to get Senator Wads
worth, who wu in the chair, committed,
but he maintained a discreet silence.
VtlLh TOTE FOB BUTLER r
There are several Wood delegates In
the New York contingent and several in
the Pennsylvania unit but the New York
folks have practically agreed to vote
for Nicholas Murray Butler for a few
ballots, which really means that the anti
; Wood people are dominant for the time
being. - -
Over In the Massachusetts delegation
the Wood forces are pounding away at
the Coolldge votes with fair success. If
General Hitchcock can once break down
the unity of the New York, Pennsyl
vania or Massachusetts delegations he
will win out. - ' - k ,
Already his boring tactics are grow
ing a bit uncomfortable to his opponents.
It is in the Pennsylvania delegation that
the cleverest plays are being made.
. Senator Penrose is against Leonard
Wood. He is also against Governor
Lowden, not because he personally difj.
likes either candidate but simply because
he believes neither would win next No
vember Yet the Wood managers claim
great strength in the Pennsylvania dele
gation. The fact Is that a considerable
nronortion would be for Wood If once
released from the pledge given Governor
. Soroul. - - '.
Bo the way to hold the 78 Pennsylvania
delegate together as a unit- at least
the way to keep them from bolting to
"Wood ia to dangle the prospect of
Kproul as a dark horse before the eyes
of both Sproul and his delegates. And
Senator Penrose goes so far as to issue
a statement openly favoring the aspira
tions of Governor sprout. ,r i
- That move is another counter ' strike
against General Hitchcock. The old
guard is evidently determined , to hold
; New York, Pennsylvania, and Massa
chusetts together until Wood and Low.
den are both eliminated and then trot out
somebody on whom an agreement can
be reached. ., , '
In the meantime, Hiram Johnson has
executed 'as effective maneuver on his
own behalf He felt his delegates in
certain states slipping away from him.
, It was openly avowed by, folks from
Michigan. Nebraska and Oregon that
although their states Voted for Johnson,
the delegates wouldn't stay bitched very
.long. :' - i
Johnson now ' has exacted a pledge
from -the Michigan-delegates, who are
.Instructed for him, to continually cast
t -xir bUnfs for him until he personally
releases them. '
JU1S OWN MANAGER
- Johnson, by the way, is his own cam
paign manager . here?" He takes advice
freely, but does as he pleases about act
ing on ' it. His game is to hold 'his
n-ieaftrea. forces together while the Wood
.and Lowden machines crush each other,
' hoping against hope that he will be the
beneficiary in the end. Also the Califor
nia senator figure that if the conven
tion supports him on the League of Na
tion platform fight, he will gain dele
gates. Certainly if the treaty and league are
i-iudlated. Johnson would be the logical
nominee, though In that event the wise
. old - leaders are' calculating that Knox
for president and Johnson for vice presi

especially if Johnson would accept the
sice presidency, i The desire to get har
mony would transcend every other- con
sideration. The mere fact that i John
son would agree to run with Knox would
gv a tremendous impetus to the lat
ter's chances, and it must : not be for
gotten that Senator JBoiee Penrose would
rather have Knox than any other-man.
LOCKING TO JTTCBE 7-
The writer knows that ienator Knox
and Senator Johnson have been- in com
munication on the subject and that they
sre still as close friends as ever. Cer
tainly if Johnson is convinced that he
cannot be nominated, be probably would
feel that his viewpoint had -been vindi
cated in the selection of another senator
like Knox, whose view on the treaty and
league were in accord with hi own. Big
Lusinesa would rather have Knox, former
attorney general . and former secretary
of state, than Hiram Johnson, and if the
California senator gave his assent - to
the choice of Knox he would be assured
the support of the Republican organiza
tion for the presidency four years hence. I
These are some of the moves, proposals.

the strategy- of the convention . as the
platform committee wrangles over per
plexing planks and issues.

ation, and Leonard Replogle, had met
in secret conference and turned thumbs
down on the entire "big three" of John
son, Wood and Lowden, and given their
approval to Governor William C Sproul
of Pennsylvania.
Still another was that the mysterious
"powers" had realised their inability to
stop the swing to Hiram Johnson and
had unwillingly ; passed the word along
to let the Californian go over. ; -
Even though the party managers de
cided to go ahead with the- nominating

CRAKE STEPS IJf f , ':
Nothing was said about ratification of
the treaty. But the moment the com
mittee on the platform got busy here.
former Senator Crane of Massachusetts
called the Indiana plank a side-stepping
device unworthy of a courageous po
litical party. - He insisted that the party
favor an affirmative . statement de
manding the ratification of : the treaty
with reservations. Nothing' war even
said about "Lodge reservations," the
obvious purpose being to' leave it to
the next president of the United States
and the-next congress to frame the
proper reservations. . This' hurt Senator
Lodge a bit, as . he has v always elt
that his own reservations were ade
quate ; t ;f . - r
JOHS805 CROUP AROUSED :
' On the other hand the Inclusion of a
statement favoring, ratification of the
treaty In any form was a thunderbolt
out of a clear sky so far as the Johnson
and Borah camp was I' concerned and it
also irritated euch Republicans as Sen
atot; MedIll McCormick, wh had stood
With the "irreconcilable" group in' the
senate against ratification of the treaty
tn ; any form. All day conference Wed
needay was followed by further consul
tations till an early hour Thursday
morning. Senator Johnson himself tried
to reason with Murray Crane, hut to no
avail. It is true that Crane la a member
of the old guard and that he himself is
unfavorable to the candidacy of Hirom
Johnson, but it is hardly likely that he
cooked up the ratification plank merely
sS a device to get rid of the Johnson
boom before the balloting started.
CRAKE IS FOB TBEATT : - "
For the truth is. Crane has been
quietly working for the ratification of
the peace treaty and the adoption of a
League of Nations for a year. Again
and again he has sought to modify the
attitude of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
He has been a staunch friend of - the
treaty from the start and is far more in
terested in seeing the Republican party
stand for it than- he is in the choice of
a candidate. The Johnson people are
openly Charging that behind him are the
big banking interests and they point to
the presence here of practically, all the
big financier of wall street and down
town New York. The latter profess, how
ever, to be merely Interested onlookers.
Indeed, at this late date the appearance
of Murray Crane as a champion of the
treaty is hardly a campaign trick. What

jro SUBSTITUTE OFFERED -'
The trouble with the acceptance of any
Johnson program is; that it leaves the
Republican party In the position of con
demning the treaty and league and of
fering no constructive substitute. Should
Senator Johnson propose a program of
international cooperation, : even in the
most general terms, such an affirmative
step would stand a better stand of weld
ing together the discordant elements
here than persistent negotiation.- Talk
of a bolt is natural. L Rumors and mur
murs fill the, air. ! William Randolph
Hearst and his friends and newspapers
her are full of dire predictions about
the effect of an independent ticket on the
situation.- They hope not merely for de
tections of Democrats but large bodies

Of course, Hearst .wants Johnson and
what the California senator has lost.' po
litically speaking, by firmly announcing
bis Intention to stay regular, his Spokes
men are trying to make up by threats of

nate from the state , of California and
can atny time take the floor to speak.
He Is being urged to do so. Either he
or Senator . Borah will make the fight.
Unless Johnson can propose a compro
mise, this convention will support the
majority report from the committee on

Some ' noliti
Some political observers pointed out
that the apparent defeat of the reserve-?

on the part of the Crane group to get
the foreign relations plank onto the con

then overwhelmingly, defeat iC thus

. The negotiations which went on until
nearly daybreak between those demand

and the league covenant with reserve-

ratification is mentioned, seemed to have
served only to increase the rancor.
