6 FIGHT ON TREATY PLANK NOT LIKELY /TO SPLIT PARTY (Coyinued from Page 1.) mandinar leadership in the national organization. Nominee In Doubt The imminence of the Republican national convention, which begins its sessions at noon tomorrow, apparent ly worked today to further becloud instead of to clarify the question of who is to be the nominee for presi dent. Wood, Lowden and Johnson sup porters were driving hard for the ad vantage and all of them were claim ing gai as the .4*.lance of the u iin structed delegates rolled into Chi cago but best claims for any of the three amounted to little more than one-fourth of the total delegate strength on the first ballot and it takes a majority to nominate. With prospects of a deadlock thus becoming better hourly, favorite sons and dark horses possibilities increas ed their activities and further tan gled the knotted reins of control for which party leaders are wrestling. The outlook helped, too, to enliven (Continued on Page 3, Column 4) the squabble over contested conven tion seats and the ogle over per manent organization of tion. At lea/t some and possibly all of the 137 contests decided by the national committee will be brought before the credentials committee for a rehearing and a few may be dl - finally on the convention floor itself. , Realizing the power which might be wielded by a friendly staff of per manent convention officials, the managers for all the candidates are studying carefully before they jump one wa-- or the other in the choice of a permanent 'hairman. Senator McCormick, of Illinois, and former Senator Bevejidge, of Indiana, are most prominently mentioned for the chairmanship, but the strength be hind neither has yet become clear'v defined and a choice may be post poned until the last minute. Chairmanship Contest If the outlook over candidates and organization is uncertain most of the leaders agree that the situation as regards platforms at least is begin ning to take form. Only a few of the more troublesome planks remain to be reed on, and although some sharp struggles are in prospect, no one seems to think that any of them will 'lead to serious consequences. There were indications today that a League of Nations plank, over which one of the bitterest conven tion fights had been predicted, might soon be given the approval of all leaders except a small group of mild reservation senators. The Johnson Borah irreconcilables have a plank of their own ready to submit if the platform conferences do not yield a result acceptable to them, but they indicated confidence today that no open fight by them would be nec essary. The -mild reservationists are dis satisfied with the plank under con sideration in the platform confer ences because it would have the so: they say, of merely declaring against the league covenant as con tained in the treaty of Versailles. They want an affirmative declaration fcr ratification of the treat? with safeguarding reservations. In the fight over permanent or ganization the Wood fore will throw at least some of their strength for former Senator Beveridge. "I am for Senator Beveridge,” said Frank H. Hitchcock, "and I would have been for him even though he had not been instructed by his state for General Wood. I have reason to believe that Senator Beveridge is highly regarded in other camps.” Friends of Governor Sproul, of Pennsylvania, said the governor had no particular choice for the perma nent chairmanship. Senator John son is for Senator Borah, of Idaho, if the latter indicates that he desires the chairmanship. Senator Johnson’s mass meeting tonight, by which his supporters hope to throw his campaign forcibly upon the attention of the national conven tion, will be addressed also by Sena tor Borah. The California candidate is expected to deal with various top ics in controversy before the conven tion. including the League of Na tions and the method of selecting delegates from the south. Expecting a gathering of overflow size, both of the speakers will be prepared to ap pear in a theater secured for the meeting and outside as well. Penrose Absent The scramble for convention tick ets began today with their distribu tion through members of the nation al-committee and the local arrange ments committee. Bales of the pasteboards and accompanying badges and souvenirs were given out at a hotel and there was a stampede of committeemen. The seats were allotted according to the proportion ate representative of each state. Lucy Page Gaston, the only wom an entrant in the presidential race, announced today that her name would not be ‘presented to the con vention. She said she had with drawn in favor of anybody "who will indorse the moral reforms for which I stand.” Miss Gaston entered the South Dakota primaries on a plat form which included an anti-ciga rette plank, unadulterated food and clean morals. Alvin McDonald, member of the Oklahoma delegation, announced that Jake Hamon, national commit teeman-elect of Oklahoma, would re ceive the Oklahoma vote for presi dent on the first ballot. Mr. Hamon is to be placed in % nomination by former Representative B. S. Mc- Guire. Nomination of Governor Lowden will be seconded, it was announced, in five minute speeches by Governor Edwin P. Morrow, of Kentucky, and former Representative Charles E. Pickett, of lowa. With the arrival of the Missouri delegation an effort will be made today or tonight to call a caucus and consider last week’s election of Jacob W. Babler, of St. Louis, as national committeeman from that state. Babler figured in the testi mony before the senate committee investigating Lowden’s expenditures in Missouri. Although kept away by illness, Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, a conspicuous figure for years at na tional conventions, is closely in touch with developments here and constantly is advising his lieuten ants. There is a telephone line di rect from the senator’s house in Philadelphia to the headquarters here of the Pennsylvania delegation. Regret over the enforced absence of the Pennsylvania leader was ex pressed today by Chairman Hays of the national committee. "The information is,” said Mr. Hays, "that Senator Penrose will not be here and everyone is sorry.” One suggested means of compro mising the differences is the inclusion in the plank of a declaration of ad herence by the party to the doctrines and policies of Washington, Madison and Monroe. The compromisers ar gued that such a declaration could be construed by every faction to suit itself. Senators Borah and Johnson, for instance, would construe adher ence to these policies to mean that the United States must stay out of the league entirely. Senators Hale, Kellogg and other reservationists would construe it as meaning Ameri can participation in the league with the Lodge reservations. Campaign managers and their le gion of lieutenants were making a last-day drive upon the national dele gates today in the interests of their respective candidates for the Repub lican presidential nomination. Although the balloting was not ex pected to begin before Thursday or Friday, the many state caucuses scheduled for today were generally looked upon as closing the door to general incursions into the various delegations, through practical de termination of how the states would stand on their first vote. Os course, the real maneuvering will get under way after the initial test of strength in the opening ballot, but as far as first choice is concerned, politicians believed the first apportionment of delegates will be fairly well deter mined by tonight. The test available information regarding over-night de velopments in the apportionment of delegates would indicate the follow ing possible vote on the first ballot: Major General Leonard Wood, 255; THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.

In the first place the convention is to.be held in. Chicago. Chicago is lo cated just north of the United States. I am well acquainted with the Amers ican consul there. Chicago holds the record for mur ders and robberies and Republican conventions. The Republicans had to hold their convention either in Chicago or New York this year as no no other city was big enough to hold all their can didates. Mexico don’t know how to get rid of Villa. Loan him to us for a vice president. That would get both na tions rid of him. If the Republicans split as they did eight years ago everybody bet ter start preparing to be kept out of another war. They don’t know whether to sfeat the colored delegates or not. If they do it will be far back near the door. To show you true democracy will rule the convention, the first thing they did was to throw out two dele gates the people had elected. The Democrats are investigating the Republican blush funds and if they find where it’s coming from they want theirs. California’s fifteen delegates start ed to the Chicago convention accom panied by) sixty bootleggers. As these delegates were elected by the people the chances are they will be unseated before they reach Denver. . ,1 see where they are cutting a lot of delegates down to half a vote.

A multitude of questions will arise and I prefer to remain free when they arise.” The court’s opinion on the main issues involved was unanimous. As sociate Justices McKenna ana Clark, however, dissented in part. Associate Justice McKenna in still another opinion said: “The court de clares conclusions only without giv ing reasons for them. I must at least be excused if I canot justify may dissent.” Justice McKenna said the Rhode Island and New Jersey cases should have been decided on their merits. He added that he did not agree with the action of thd court in reversing the Wisconsin case. Governor Frank O.

Pritchard, 22;’ Senator Howard Sutherland, 16; Jacob L. Hamon, 16; Senator Miles Poindexter, 14. Out of the ruck of more or less ordinary events there were two out standing features today—a definite "trend” toward Dr. Butler, who had figured but little heretofore in the pre-convention gossip, and discovery that the supporters of Herbert Hoov er, supposedly the veriest amateurs in politics, had borrowed a leaf from their more practical brethren and ap parently built up a surprisingly strong aggregation of second choice delegates. Hoover’s Gumshoe Campaign The Butler people declare the final battle in the convention will be be tween their man and Governor Low den, eliminating both Wood and Johnson in the first five ballots. They are hoping Senator Johnson will car ry out his threat to take to the coli seum floor his fight against the League of Nations in any form. They believe this will, afford Dr. Butler his greatest opportunity to build up popular support. Dr. Butler has reiterated his intention of defending the Lodge reservations should ■ Sen ator Johnson raise such an issue. Such a debate, which now seems probable, would provide one of the most spectacular events of the con vention. As regards Mr. Hoover,’ his backers have literally carried out his canny advice, voiced shortly after he align ed himself with the Republicans to keep his name out of the primaries and state conventions and work among the delegates already com mitted to another candidate to get their second choice. Investigation has disclosed that there has been considerable strength developed in this way. From authoritative sources it was learned today that Mr. Hoo ver’s name may not be presented to the convention in the first group of nominations, but will be withheld until his organization can bring their second choice strength into play. Hoover, by the action of his friends, thus comes within the category of “dark horses.” The name most often mentioned for the vice presidency, in the last few days has been that 'of Governor Coolidge. Inquiries among the dele gates from his home state leads to the belief that the Massachusetts ex ecutive would not refuse that nomi l nation if it were tendered. G. 0. P. SITUATION IS PUZZLING ONE, DECLARES TAFT BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT (Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.) SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June 6. The situation at Chicago is a curious one and it make prophecy dange rous General Wood still leads in formally instructed delegates, but he is by no means certain that he leads the others in the number of unin structed delegates, who are known to have expressed a preference. Senator Johnson is given second place in the number of instructed delegates, but to do this one must count as instructed the whole Mich igan delegation, the members of which are not bound by the result of the primary under the law, arid which is known to include a num ber of Wood and Lowden delegates. Senator Johnson has less known support among uninstructed dele gates than the other candidates, whild Governor Lowden’s strength is probably greatest among them. Sena tor Johnson is the candidate of the radical element in and out of the Republican party, an element that is vociferbusly demonstrative for him and threatening toward any oth er Republican candidate. All radi cal delegates in the convention will be for Mr. Johnson and most of them are included in his instructed support. It is therefore impossible to see unless the convention is stampeded, how Mr. Johnson can be nominated. Regulars in Majority The convention will have a great majority of regular conservative Re publicans in its membership, and if they follow their prediction and their calmer judgment, and if they be lieve that the Republican party should stand for something in ac cordance with its pervious history, they are likely to unite to prevent the possibility of Mr. Johnson’s nomination. It is Mr. Jojinson’s pur-’ pose as shown by his interviews and by his militant presence at the con vention as a candidate to force fight ing. He is aware of the opposition to him, because of his radical proc livities, and he seeks to avoid that opposition by creating an issue on th< question whether the party should take its stand against the league with the Lodge reservations as voted for by two-thirds of the Re publican senate or should support the*bitter enders and oppose any league at all; In so doing he is demanding that there be an unequivocal plank in the Republican . platform against the league whether with or without res ervations, and thus seeks to take ad vantage of the unnatural alliance between Senators Borah, Nori'is, Gronna, LaFollete and himself, on the one hand, and ultra conservative Republicans like Senators Knox, Brandegee, Penrose and others. On the other hand, brought about by the treaty fight in the senate, he is flushed with the victories in California, Michigan and Nebraska, in which, with the united support of the progressives and the racial la bor vote, who will not support any other Republican candidate, he show ed his strength in the primaries; he is naturallty a fighting leader and prefers an early definite, clear-cut stand on the issue. Was Humorous Suggestion The. suggestion of a ticket with Senator Knox as the presidential can didate and Senator Johnson as the vice presidential candidate was "a humorous one, not because Senator Knox is not in the class from which presidential candidates may properly be taken, but because the suggestion was so utterly at variance with Sen ator Johnson’s character and pur pose. He has no idea of playing sec ond fidule. He proposes by sheer force of audacious leadership and through fear of timid Republican delegates to make the bitter-ender tail wag the Republican dog. One may venture to doubt whether such a plan will work successfully, but one must concede the courage with which it is being attempted. The delegates in a Republican con vention have not ordinarily been stampeded. The galleries of the ex position hall at Chicago have been filled with enthusiastic thousands shouting till exhausted in favor of a candidate without the needed votes, while the body of delegates remained unmoved in their segts. Chicago is the home of Sinn Fein, pro-German and radical enthusiasm and Senator Johnson’s name and'appearance in a convention will meet with a gallery acclaim that might affect less sea soned heads than the present Repub lican delegates. What the Republican delegates, however, should note is that Senator Johnson’s canvass and implied de mand for his own selection as a nominee is not to be postponed until the roll call for votes for candidates. It will begin in the resolution com mittee and will be forced upon the convention on the adoption of a ma jority or minority report. If Mr. Johnson carries out his announced purpose the convention must elect whether the Republican party shall stand by the thirty senators in favor of the league with the Lodge reser vations, or repudiate those senators and stand with the five radicals, mas querading as Republicans, who are associated with the nine regular Re publicans in opposition to the league altogether. Johnson Flaying on Fear The most conclusive step to end any danger of Mr. Johnson’s nomi nation is to. stand with the majority of the Republican senators on the league issue. Mr. Johnson has said he will not bolt, but reasons for changing his mind as thick-as black berries can be found if occasion re quired. He is now skilfully playing on fears that he will bolt in spite of his declaration. Fear of a bolt by Mr. Johnson should not deter the convention from standing by the large Republican senatorial majority on the league majority. If Mr. Johnson is not nominated himself and a “Mr. Facing-Both- Ways” resolution is adopted on the subject of the league, Mr. Johnson is just as likely to bolt as not. If the convention takes the courageous stand in favor 'of the action of the majorty Republicans of the senate, Mr. Johnson’s bolt will not defeat the Republican party. He will draw as many votes from the Democratic party as he does from the Repub lican party. ✓ The Republican candidate will ba supported not only by the regular members of the Republican party, but by many conservative Demo crats, disaffected toward the present administration, who will be glad to seize the opportunity of voting the Republican ticket to defeat a scheme which will include all the un-Amer ican groups—the Sinn Feiners, the pro-Germans and the vociferous rad ical elements of unrest. Such a victory by the Republican party would give it an opportunity for constructive usefulness in the administration to follow unhampered by the paralyzing party membership of Senators Johnson, LaFollette, Bo rah, Gronna and Norris, an oppor tunity which would mean much for the welfare of the country.

First prices were generally IS to 33 points lower, with the tone easy, and the market soon showed net losses of 14 to 41 points. July sold off from 38.70 c to 38.31 c and October from 3G.05c to 35.66 c, but Liverpool and trade interests bought on the decline and prices soon firmed up again on covering. July was relatively firm on the Liverpool and trade buying and sold about 15 points net higher late in the morning, while oth er months recovered about half their ear ly losses. The market remained quiet during the early afternoon and showed little change but if anything was a < shade steadier on covering by early sellers.

While the weather over the cotton region as dry, it was gen erally considered that temperatures were too cool, and this served to hold sellers within bounds- The market turned irregular as the re sult of straddling between ' July and Oc tober, the latter being sold against pur chases of July.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER NE WORLEANS, June 7. —The tendency was downward in cotton today as the re sult of greatly improved w’eather condi tions over the belt, although there was still room for more improvement, especially on the score of temperatures which remain below normal over the greater part or the belt. The opening was lower except on July, and the decline continued, with recoveries now and then, until late in the session when the market was 20 to 57 points under the last quotations of last week, July stand ing yat 38.40 and October at 35.40. The Hose showed net losses for the day of 6 to 49 points, July being the strongest month. July was the only month to show net advances. It was up 10 points on the opening, while other months were down. During a good part of the day ot received support from straddlers who bought it against salest of October; The weather may was clear and dry and it was the main cause of the early selling. The selling later In the day was due to the belief that the weather map tomorrow would be equally favorable. Increased offerings may be expected if no rainfaills overnight, especially if it warms up. JNO. F. CLARK & CO. COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. June 7.—Provided a sur prise by coming as much as 30 points high er than due on futures and showing spots 6 points up, sales 4.000 bales. This action was interpreted on the possibility of a dis turbance to imports owing to war and labor situations, tsraddle operations with our miar ket, additional effect of the bullish bitl’eau condition and fear of lateness of crop. A cable said “disappointment over crop news continental buying.” First trades here were at an advance of 10 points on July, but as much as 40 points down on new crops, despite the strong Liverpool. Selling was mostly based on the change to dry weather. Advice from Aus tin, Tex., of heavy rains, and the strength of the July position in New York caused some buying and rallied the market 20 points,- but when the official map showed fair in Tesas and the official forecasts were for fair and warmer, the market reacted to opening figures. Some believe that the con tinuance of the longshoremen’s strike is fa vorable to operations in July, in New York if such should be contemplated.

FATE OF LOWDEN IS ENTIRELY IN HANDS OF HIRAM JOHNSON (Continued from Page X) club in his hands. He can kill off Lowden and turn convention to consideration tof dark horses. His own oratory may win him support, but the rank and rile of the politic ians think him too radical and too impulsive to be the Republican nominee. Frankly, they don’t like him. And he knows it. Therefore he has everything to gain and very little to lose by open warfare. And that’s what is coming—Johnson on the warpath, and the convention, like a big jury, deciding whether the Missouri exposure is a flash in the pan or a serious flaw in Republican hopes. Men like A. T. Hert, 6f Kentucky, the new Penrose of the situation, who is for Lowden, do not consider the Johnson explosion can effect the sober, thoughful delegates of a Republican national convention. Anybody can win next November on the Republican ticket, reasons the Republican wiseacre, who is for Lcwden, but the supporters of Leon ard Wood and Hiram Johnson make good use of Brother McAdoo’s pull With organized labor and his jfolitical versatility as they argue that if the Democrats nominate McAdoo, “it won’t be such a cinch” and that the Chicago convention should not make the mistake of nominating a con servative, but it’s Lowden’s nomina tion thus far. Political Progress Slow • Inside politics like inside baseball; has its various feints and passes, but thus far the captains of the various political teams have made 1 little progress around the bases. Conferences between the respective managers have been held with the idea of persuading rivals that they had better give up trying and throw their strength "where it will do most good.” Supporters of Senator Hiram Johnson, for instance, are saying to Lowden men that the Il linois governor’s vote against Roose velt in 1912 through his proxy, Sen ator Lorimer, would kill him with the Progressives and that if that wasn’t sufficient the Missouri scan dal about the purchase of delegates would do it. Really, the Johnson men wouldn’t admit it, but if it.came to a show-down they would be for Leon ard Wood rather than Lowden. On the other hand, there are two classes of Johnson delegates—the thick and thin supporters, who will stick to the finish, and those who come from states which voted over whelmingly for Johnson, but who personally don’t like Johnson be cause of his unpopularity with the political leaders of the Republican party. These Johnson delegates must vote for the California senator as long as there is a chance for him to win, but the managers of other candidates already are trading with them for second choices and third choices. Bowdon People Confident The Lowden people continue confi dent. The Wood people realize they have been slipping in the last two days, but they, too. know that if Hiram Johnson wants to do it, he can make Leonard Wood the nomi nee. This would cause considerable confusion among the members of the new "old guard,” who, by the way, comprise the managers of the Low den boom, men like A. T. Hert, na tional committeeman from- Kentucky, and John Hammond, the new boss of Oklahoma. They fought the Wood managers in many a state and won. If General Wood is the nominee, it will mean the fall of this new “old guard.” Their political future de pends upon the success of Lowden. And to be able to manage the cam paign itself will mean the distribu tion of offices in the event of vic tory—something thoroughly under stood by the delegates with an eye also to the future. But speaking of what the man agers are saying to each other, 4 fa vorite expression among the respec tive boosters of Johnson, Lowden and Wood is this: “You had better come our way—for if you don’t look out you will get Hoover.” One of the most influential of the Massachusetts leaders told the writer that he didn’t believe the dele gates in this convention would stay put very long, that they would soon get tired of voting for Wood, Low den or Johnson and would ditch, them all for a dark horse and that while he himself was violently opposed to Herbert Hoover, the delegates knew the former food administrator would be an easy winner in November and would look upon him as a simple so lution of the deadlock. Hughes Looms However, such faith in the ulti mate strength of Hoover is not wide spread. Few of the leaders, consider him a probability, though all admit Classified Advertisements WANTED HTELF—Mai».

Atlanta, Ga. a public sentiment is behind his can didacy, which would make victory absolutely assured if he were the Re publican nominee. Much more plaus ible is the talk of Hughes. Again and again as the disinteresfed dele gate looks around and speculates on the possibility of a prolonged dead lock. he reverts to the fofmer justice of the supreme court as a clean can didate with a prestige unimpaired by four years of political inactivity and an experience off the bench that would make him a much better cam paigner than he was in 1916. It is easy to say that thii conven tion is groping in the dark, that it is leaderless. That is-a superficial impession. This convention knows its business, knows what it wants but this uncertainty is due to tha tug of war between factions - which represent the same thing. Prejudices galore are recited against each can diate. If the Democrats were here, they could fill their campaign text books. Big Republican leaders whis per that Leonard Wood is "impos sible because the country will not stand for a military man.” Others openly declare Johnson as absolutely unacceptable to American business. Now the leaders themselves like Johnson. They would nominate hjm in a minute if they could. His col leagues in the senate have grown fond of Hiram and they don’t think him a bit too radical. But the rank and file of the delegates are deter mined that Johnson shall hot win. Conservatives Control The trouble is that even if the leaders wanted Johnson they could not deliver the delegates to him. To that extent this convention is. con trolled by the conservative influences in the Republican party. Senator Johnson, Senator Borah and their as sociates can torpedo any of the lead ing candidates but they can’t win the nomination for the California senator unless they persuade the delegates overnight. So the tactics of Johnson are ora torical. Tonight’sh mass meeting and possibly some dramatic speeches in the convention will constitute the final efforts to win by direct appeal to the delegates. But if Johnson be comes convinced that he can’t win— there’s the psychological moment to watch for. He is absolutely deter mined to stay regular this time. He will not bolt. But if the candidate he wants to see nominated isn’,t chosen, if for instance Lowden, whom Johnson regards as "impossible” is chosen, something worse than a bolt from Johnson may be expected. He will play the game he has played before. He will stay regular in CaL ifornla and probably will not stump for the ticket anywhere else. And the Republicans admit Hiram is a wonderful vote-getter. To placate Johnson, the new “old guard” may have to give up Lowden, but in so doing they would want Wood eliipiniated too. In a free-for-’ all, Johnson could dictate the choice. Intimate friends say he leans toward Governor Sproul, of Pennsylvania. Others say he favors Senator Len root, of Wisconsin. Os one thing the public may rest assured, Hiram John son will insist on a progressive, but it is premature to say that he thinks of anyone else but himself as that progressive. 25 Per Cent Increase In Population Shown By Waterbury, Conn.
