THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND. THURSDAY, JUNE 10 1C2& BRYATJ COUIJTS Oil DRYS TO Will OUT ; lil CHICAGO FIGHT; By William Jennings Bryan ; j (Oomisht, 1 920, by WiUUm J.nnln Brrl.) WrLUa Exclo4rely tor L'lri Berne) ..-.;! Chicago, : June 1 0.- The second day's (session, as is usual, .was a very brief one. The second day of a na tional convention sees -very llttle'ac-; tual -work' done. ' The committee on ! permanent organization reported in favor of Senator Lodge .as perma-' nent chairman sad disappoint-!' ment to the frlendr of , -ex-Senator Bevieridee, who i were, anxious to . give him a chance to sound a seaond keynote. ' :'; ". , 'i!" ;' The senator from Massachusetts aroused genu Ins applause when he stated that he would not make a speech. He did not improve the opportunity of fered to withdraw anything; he said yes terday or to add anything that he had left out Over In London they have a very apt phrase, vis : "cab wit," which they use to describe the bright thoughts that come -to a speaker as be rides home from a .meeting. -'Senator Lodge evidently walked home. He might have' called attention to the Volstead act and told how a Republican congress had by an overwhelming vote, put into statu tory language the national prohibition amendment triumph for the nation's conscience.' His bitterness toward the president might even have found ex pression In the suggestion that a Re publican congress put war prohibition into effect in spite of an executive vote, but not a word on this Important sub ject. WHERE LODGE TELL DOW3T He might : have described the League of "Nations as the Republican senators voted for it. He might have pledged his party to continue its fight for an Internationa tribunal in which disputes between nations may be settled without resort. to war. . This subject would have given, him a great chance to picture his party as an angel , of peace guarding the world against future wars. But no. He did not even mention a bonus to the sol diers who won the last war. ; The burn ing words remained unspoken, and the convention was turned over to that an cient mariner, the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, the most" popular living Re publican of big business who" has ap peared in American politics during the laat SO years. ' The - talent for humor, of which he has a monopoly, has been on tap for many decades. Whenever a serious po litical situation needed to be enlivened he has been called upon. The visitors had the privilege of looking upon the most striking .illustration of generations of neglected opportunity. The former senator from New York : is now , four score and six years old and still buoy ant in spirit, . agile of mind and unex hausted in physical strength. ' His nat ural ability was Studiously developed and : he entered life with as brilliant prospects of usefulness as any. yofing man ever possessed. SIZES CP DEPEW Had he given himself to his country . he might have enjoyed the highest hon ors that it had to give, and insured himself a place among - its great men. But instead of that he became the legal representative of big business ; he sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. For a time .he divided his attention between the New .York Central railroad and the United States senate. This road paid . him about 44 times as much as the government and yet got more for its money than the taxpayers did. He led the last fight against the eleo tion of United States senstors by the people and has failed .to identify him self with any important reforms. - Bach four years he is called upon . to drive dull care away whenever a Republican national convention has nothing Import ant on hand. It is pathetic that a man so brilliant and so lovable should have made no deeper impression upon the thought of his nation that a tree so full of blossoms 'should have yielded so litUe fruit. . WATSOJT BEFLECTS COWYESTIOir the Volstead act as Interpreted by the supreme court. , It- is quite certain that the committeemen from many, if not all.-of the dry states win insist on a straight-out-declaration and will carry the fight to the floor of the convention if -the committee tries to sidetrack the issue. ' , - -j t :"r' .. ;" William Allen -.-White of Kansas is one of the most prominent of the dry members of the committee and be will have the active support of Senator Cap per in anjr contest an this subject. OOMPKKS PLBADS TOB LABOR -. President Oompers of the American Federation of Labor made an earnest plea in behalf of the recognition of labor interests. , - The most imposing group to be beard was a committee of the National Board of Farm Organisations. These men. representing nearly , all the important farm organisations, 'made the commit tee sit up and take notice aad well they might, for no more earnest body of men is in attendance at this convention. I have condensed as much as possible the matters presented but the above will show the importance of the problems with which the resolutions committee Is wrestling. It Is quite likely' that the committee will be divided on. some of these subjects; if ff. the session at which the platform fisjdiscussed will be worth attending. : : MAM MAIS IS (EV WHICH OPENS JACOBS' FORECAST Y: lBy.IL:D, Jacobs ; , 1 Chicago, June 10.s-7-(Us. P.) Here la the ; problem In " arithmetic that baa bothered the old guard and Its reported solution : r ; A4d"Lo'wden. Johnson. Butler and Sprout and subtract,. Wood from the Republican '':. national .."convention. Then add . Lowden, f Butler and Sproule and subtract Johnson. After this subtract Ljpwden and you have a presidential nominee Sproule.-' ; Another possible solution in the event the last stage in the foregoing exercises should prove too difficult was said to be to divide Johnson ' by Knox, afterward subjecting Knox-- to '- te multiplication process.; :.. : ' J j i i: -:;'Yr '!' ' PBOVLDEB. OF, COURSE ; . All this was predicted, of course, upon the" ld guard having the "control" it claimed-to nave established two days ago. 'This progressives and followers of individual candidates were not' ready to concede today. . . . - Senator ' Johnson was getting in more and more of fighting srfSod. Some in terpreted his latest blanket interview as indicating he might; bolt If the conven tion fails to oppose the League of Na tions, or if a general raid is maQe upon his delegates.. i ? J : . - "There are various endeavors being made in relation te - the delegates who are pledged to . me my , preferenc pri maria," he said. "If any faan breaks his faith I will take his case td the people. - "I am trying to get an American atti tude taken against the League of Na tions, and if the Republican party does not take such an attitude, then I wilt ask them to take it.". ECMOB WITHIST BUM OB ' . From the rooms in the Congress hotel, which house private telephone and tele graph wires stretching to the Philadel phia home ef Senator Penrose, the im pression was gtven that, the "conven tion -within the: convention' had been held and that the -members 'of the old guard had finally agreed upon their can didate for the nomination. - The first regular business of the con vention, so far ? as -the ."regular con vention is concerned.' is to eliminate Gen eral Wood. This accomplished, it Is be lieved they would center ' their attack on Johnson, using the Sproul and Butler strength as a nucleus. Then, apparently, would come a more or less friendly struggle with Lowden, who. according to well-informed persons, is he old guard's -third choice," Tfourth choice.' provid ing they are forced to give that much ground,' being Senator Harding. : White th. convention marks time. thVi " aeiegaies snouia ran lo reepona committees are at work, especially -the big committee the committee on reso lutions. The chairman of the commit tee. Senator Watson of . Indiana, pre sides ' with . great dignity, while those who have planks to present are being heard. And, by the 1 way, the selection of Mr. Watson by an overwhelming ma jority affords ample proof of, the char acter of this convention. . Vjl..-: ; Senator Watson has been in public life -long" enough to have made a record ; the voters take judicial notice of the fact that he is a standpatter from a may back. He. was one of the brilliant coterie of statesmen, 'or coterie of brilliant statesmen who engineered the scien tifically arranged steam roller process of the Taft convention in 1912. He can claim a fair share of the Credit for that ' famous campaign from which the Re publican party emerged with the elec toral votes of two states, Utah and Ver mont. ' , ' ' '-- : ; The committee listened to three very Influential groups whose members asked for platform recognition of the subjects which they presented. First came the supporters of national prohibition, with Wayne B. Wheeler as their spokesman. Backed by the officials of the league, by the W. C T. U. and by all the other temperance and church . organizations that have sent representatives to Chi cago, he urged the committee to report a plank specifically indorsing prohibi tion and pledging the' convention candi- , dates, If elected, to the enforcement of Sproul as Quickly" as desired., it is "re ported the organisation would then in ject Knox.
