THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE! JUNE 29. 1919. 8 A' SPLITTING FLEET DECLARED TO BE POLITICAL MOVE Washington Believes Division of Navy Made toTurn West In Favor of World League. By JUSTIN M'GRATH. Washington, June 28. Politician! "here noted for their sagacity are convinced that there was more than naval strategy in the division of the fleet. They regard it as a political move with these two objects in view: First Solidifying sentiment in the west in favor of the league of na tions. Second Starting a boom for Josephus Daniels tor the democratic nomination for president. The first object is the one it is thought President Wilson had main ly in mind. The second object Sec retary Daniels is believed to hold first in his thoughts. Daniels Made Suggestion. The suggestion of separating the fleet into two equal divisions and putting one division on the Pacific is understood to have come from Secretary Daniels and to have won the immediate and hearty indorse ment of the president. No knowledge is available of the arguments used by Mr. Daniels to convince President Wilson of the advisability of the disposition of the fleet, but the politicians at the capi ta have their own ideas on that subject and they are very definite and interesting ideas, whatever their basis in fact. Senator Johnson 'of California, the man who carried the state by over 200.000 votes when Hughes lost it, ts one of the strongest opponents in the senate of the president's policy for a league of nations. Senator Poindexter of Washington is an other of the fighting opponents of the league. Up to the time Sen ator Johnson made his speech in the senate against the covenant, the sentiment in California had been decidedly in favor of the league. Senator Johnson knew this and free ly admitted it. But his speech work ed a great change. Since he made it, a boom has started in California to get him the republican nomination tor president. Also, it is said, through the influence of Senator Poindexter, the tide i&Jurning in the northwest against the league. Sen ator Poindexter is relying on this change to boost his presidential stock. Manifest to Cummings. These developments on the Pa cific coast must all have been plain ly manifest to Homer Cummings, the chairman of the democratic na tional committee, who has been touring the far west According to the views of the politicians, Cum mings probably apprised the admin istration leaders of the unfavorable turnof sentiment on the Pacific coast, and it was then.; Secretary Daniels got his inspiration to divide the fleet, send one-half of it to the Pacific and take advantage of the tremendous reception it is certain to receive from San Diego to Seattle to do some propaganda work for the league of nations. This work will be all the more effective in that it will come coincident with the fight in the senate after the president has made his appeal for ratification. In helping the league by accom panying the fleet to the Pacific coast, Mr. Daniels, it is figured will also greatly help his own presiden tial ambition. The man to whom the coast will be indebted for put ting a great fleet on the Pacific un doubtedly will be the most popular there. Already there is a strong sentiment developing in the aouth in favor of, Mr. Daniels' candidacy. If be can reinforce this with a de mand from the western democrats, his chancea of getting the nomina tion will be excellent Every big movement In Washing ton these days has a political mean ing all its own. It is not always discernible on first consideration, but the political wiseacres may be trusted soon to bring it into view. Oil or Canard Liners.

Barkley, president of the Nebraska Woman's Suffrage association, and others, to prevent the secretary of state from submitting to a vote of the people the referendum asked on the partial suffrage law passed by the 1917 legislature.

Brigadier- General Crozier, former chief of the ordnance bureau, appearing today before the special house investigat ing committee to explain why Us department was so unprepared when war came, declared that after the national defense act was passed, he submitted a request to the secretary of war for a larger personnel and for authorization to contract for ordnance, but the request was not acted upon.
