Democratic And Republican
Leaders Make Ready For
National Committee Meet
ings In Washington.
NO. 279..-TEN PAGES.
SALEM, OREGON,TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1919.
FORTY-SECOND YEAR
By Hugh Balllle
(United Press Staff Correspondent.),
!' Washington, Nov. 25. Republicans
and democrats today began actively or
ganizing for the business of electing a
president of the United States in 1920,
Leaders were on the ground arrang
ing for meetings of the democratic and
republican national committees here
January 8 and December 10, respec
tively, to pick convention cities.
- Press agents representing the can
didates were also beginning to appear,
armed with much literature. Announce
inents of new candidates were expected
to come Uiick and fast from the G. O.
P. ranks within a few days, but the
democrats were holding back.
Issues Uncertain.
There were many ideas as to what
the issue would be. Miles Polndexter,
senator from Washington and one of
the first republican aspirants in the
field, declared it would be bolshevlsm
and that he would make his fight on a
platform promising eradication of the
"red" menace. " .
., Senator Lodge's expressed willing-
ness to go to the country with the
peace treaty as an Issue made it appear
that he had presidential aspirations
himself.
- Senator Harding, Ohio, also a candi
date, has not yet announced his con-
ception of what the principal point of
contention between the two major
parties will be.
' 8ome Holding Back.
Senator Johnson of California is un
derstood to be planning his race 6n a
"straight American" platform.
Soma of the candidates who loom
.biggest; such as Governor . Loden of
.Illinois and General Wood, have not
. entered the battle of press agents here
as. yet, the inference being they are
holding back until the situation Is a
little more clarified. ' j
. as- ior ine aemocrais, ine iuci iuiu
none has come out for the candidacy
. gav? strength to a report here that
President Wilsonin spite of Informa
tion to the contrary has not yet made
up his mind with regard to making a
third effort. With the treaty out of
the way, there is little doubt that, in
view of his illness and his weariness
of public life, he would be willing to
'Step aside and not even participate ac
tively in the campaign. Bnt if the
treaty; is to -be the issue, the president
may deem it his duty either to' head
the ticket which supports ratification
or take a prominent part in naming
.that .leader and fighting for his elec
tlon.
McAdoo for Labor. -t
W. G. McAdoo was seen today as a
bidder for labor support if he becomes
a candidate, in view of his telegram
to Fuel Administrator Garfield, vigor- j
out'ly supporting the miners wage de
mands and opposing the ideas of let
ting the public pay the increase. But
McAdoo has not avowed his intentions
and the other democratic possibilities,
including Governor Cox and A. Mitch
ell Palmer, are keeping very quiet.
W. J. Bryan, although he has said
he has no more political ambitions,
is frequently brought into the situation
when the democratic aggregation is
being looked over.
Many cities are bidding for the re
publican national convention. They
Include San Francisco, Chicago, As
bury Park, St. Louis, Kansas City, Mil
waukee and St. Paul and Minneapolis
combined. For the democratic conven
ventlon, Baltimore, Chicago, Indian
apolis and St. Louis are among those
bidding.

si -r J. N. Burgess and C. E.

REPORT HE FAVORED
lARMYil
Portland, Or., Nov. 25. "We recom
mend that David Smith, James Ogle
and Walter Banaster be held for the
willful and deliberate murder of J. N.
Burgess and George E. Perrlnger, and
we further recommend that capita!
punishment be restored in this' state." j
A coroner's Jury which probed the
murders of the prominent Pendleton
citizens at Claremont tavern Friday
night, returned that verdict last night.
"And if we had our way about It,
they'd build a scaffold right here in
the plaza block tonight and carry out
these recommendations," announced
one of the Jurors as the verdict was
handed to the coroner.
Miss Elsie Babcock, who was a
member of the Burgess-Perringer sup
per party at the Claremont, testified
that ''as near as she could tell," Smith
did the shooting which killed the Pen-
dletonians.
Miss Babcock was very nervous on
the stand and swooned after leaving
the witness chair. -
Washington, Nov. 25. In connection;
with press account sof his annual re
port to the secretary of war. General
March, chief of staff, today issued the
following statement:
"In the ticwspapere of Sunday! No
vember 23, there appeared a review of
the annual report of General Peyton C.:
March, chief of staff, sent out by the
Associated Press which credltea him
with favoring an army of 260,000 men.
This statement was entirely erroneous.
The report of the chief of staff was a
strong presentation of the necessity
for an army of 600,000 men ana in
eluded with it a copy of the so-called
war department bill, which ia now be
fore congress and which embodies Gen
eral March's ideas as presented in his
annual report This bill specifically
states the number of men recommend
ed an in no place in the report does
there appear anything which suggests
any other than an army of 600,000
men." - -- -
Turkey Supply
Short; Higher
Prices Blamed
With turkeys selling at 65 cents
wholesale on tho Portland market,
while only bringing 50 cents retail in
Salem, the supply of Thanksgiving
birds in; this city is going to be con
siderable short of the . demand, in the
opinion of market men.
Up to the present time the supply
here has been but little better than
the early orders for the birds and it
is expected that the eleventh hour
rush wilt find the local dealers unable
to supply all their customers. Most
of the turkeys raised in this section
are going to the higher market in
Portland, whera the supply is also re
ported short. .
But scarcity of the birds is not the
only, reason for the fancy, prices they
are bringing, according to growers,
although it ': a: big factor. High pric
es of feeds has made a greater re
turn ' neoessary. and has resulted in
many farmers cutting down their
flocks. Many who have formerly rais
ed turkeys for the markets have eith
er eliminated them from their farms,
or are raising only a few for their own
home use.

H. Eunch, mayor of Muncie, Ind., to
day was sentenced to serve two years
in Atlanta prison and pay a fine of
$1009 for participation in a fake fight
swindle. Prosecuting Attorney Hor
ace G. Murphy, also of Muncie, wa?
given a similar sentence,.
Twenty-one others were given vary
ing prison terms and fines by Federal
Judge A. B. Anderson. The defendants
included well known Muncie men,
members of the police force and asso
ciates from other cities. The charge
was using the mails to defraud.
The gang was alleged to have ob
tained thousands of dollars through
their fake fights, operating on a plan
somethin like the old fake foot races.
After bets had been placed, a fight was
staged in some secluded spot, one of
the fighters would fall, bleeding from
the mouth and there would be flight to
escape arrest', the stakes disappearing
also. A promised settlement when the
excitement died away, never material
