Tha bitter controver sy or the treaty plank in the re publican plat form appears al most certain to be carried to the floor of the re publican conven tion. Ail-Dicht efforts to avert a final clash prov ed futile. Nerv ations which con tinued until nearly daybreak be tween those demanding a plank for ratification of the treaty and the league covenant with reservations and those who threatened to bolt if ratifi cation is mentioned seemed to servo only to increase the rancor. Although they expect tho sub-committee to up hold them, the bitter end era feel squ ally certain the full committee will g-o against them, thus sending: the whole question to the convention floor. I'matilla county's winter wheat crop is 87 per cent of normal, the spring wheat Is 8 2 per cent, oats 100 per cent and barley 95 per cent, according to report issued yesterday by the Bu reau of 1 rop estimates. The acreage, as compared with last i year, is given as 111 for spring wheat. 113 for oats, and 108 for barley. Th'3 ; hay crop condition is given 91 per- cent of normal, and apples 40 percent of normal. The report shows that of the Kast ' crn Oregon counties. Grant and T-uke 'counties have crops wheh nre 100 per cent, while Morrow's and Sherman's are 95 per cent. The average for the state is 90 per cent.

D ARK HORSE BOOM FOR PERSHING AS DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE IS STARTED BY NEW YORK FRIENDS Lodge Upholds Borah. Senator Smoot, acting as peace maker, tried to bring the opponents together. Smoot's efforts ware futile. He finally carried the matter io Sen ator Lodge. Smoot, Borah, McCor mick and Watson conferred with Lodge. The latter urged the neces sity of avoiding a split in the conven tion But assured Borah and McCorm ick that he stood with them. Once It appeared that Borah and McCormick were going to bolt the sub-committee meeting. Then the conference with Lodge was agreed to. Murray Crane is leading the fight for ratification with safeguarding reservations. The anti-leaguers of the Borah- Johnson group declared with the ut most assurance the sub-committee would sustain them by reporting the plank containing the provisions, con demnation in strong terms of the trea ty and covenant in the form submit ted by President Wilson , Commen dation of republican senators for re fusing to ratify it In that form, ap proval of the principle of an interna tional court to settle international dis putes, a pledge that the party would uphold and maintain the policies of foreign relations as enunciated hy Presidents Washington and Monroe. Some Left Itoom. When Borah and McCormick threatened to bolt the sub-committee meeting, they left the room, flushed and disheveled. Smoot instantly fol lowed, equally agitated. His coat was off. Ids face damp with perspiration and his hair badly rumpled. He led Borah and McCormick down the cor ridor and read them the proposed compromise draft. This condemned the treaty in its existing form and ap proved the "action of tho republican senators in refusing to ratify It with out safeguarding reservations." McCormick Blew Up. I'pon hearing that provision Me. Cormick "blew up." "No sir!" he fairly shouted, striding away from Smoot, his face flushed with anger. McCormick stumped hack into the meeting room, crying !No sir, never" at every other step, and waving his arms excitedly. Smoot then appealed to Borah to accept the plunk, but Itorah refused. The conference with Lodge was then arranged. Watson lgorouly declar ed the present situation is the result , of the repudiation by th rervatlon Itat senators of the agreement made to : accept a certain treaty plank, now , known us the Wiuthi ngton plank. t;narunton to MM Friday w uarantois of the local Chautauqua (By United Press) NKW YORK.
