POLITICAL TIPS
FROM COAST SAY
WILSON BEATEN
Gossips Say Wood Has Good
Chance Johnson's "Hot
Air Valve" Over
'. worked.
(By International New flertlce.)
San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 31.
Senator Hiram Johnson threw his
bat into the . republican ring at
poor time, according to many of his
friends and foes alike in his home
tate. That he has the whole-hearted
unport of his admirers in Califor
nia it beyond a question, but that
he ii capable of carrying the nomr
ration is altogether another mat-
4" ter, some of them have admitted.
Granting his nomination, even, the
matter of,being able to carry the
'election also presents its difficulties
tome of his followers on the west
ern coast admit.
His political enemies in Califor
hia are many and they are of the
most bitter type. . John D. Spreck
els, is among the foremost of the
latter class, and Spreckels is a
power in California regardless of
the tact that Johnson has defeated
the Hawaiian sugar boss time after
time.
East . Will Beat Him.
"The east will beat him to death
even if he does get the nomina
tion," said one of Johnson's ene
fmies. 'He'U do well to carry Cali
fornia in a pinch if he goes up for
president
Politics and political talk were
beginning to warm up a little in ho
tel lobbies of San Francisco before
Senator Johnson announced his
'candidacy for nomination, but when
that announcement came they rose
to white heat immediately. Today
the women especially are discuss
ing the "presidential possibilities
for 1920." Johnson is mentioned
along with the .others, but more
' freguently than any other one can
didate, with one exception.
California, according to "gallery
politicians of the state wants some
'one who does things without talking
but talks is a ."language that people
can understand." This appears to be
a stumbling block for the California
senator, who, popular as he is, is
charged with "possessing a hot air
' valve which works too much now
and then."
General Pershing is not among
; those mentioned. YVoodrow Wilson
has placed Robert Lansing in the
, eligible class by vetoing Lansing's
policy towarrd Mexico, but he has
' cut off all possible hope for a third
L Wilson terra by making Lansing
eligible.. As far as California is
concerned, Lansing appears tf be
the lone hope for the democrat
party, and not even William G. Mc
Adoo gets more than honorable
mention occasionally when the pres
idency is mentioned by Californians.
A surprise of the first order came
to the correspondent of the Indian
apolis Star just before Christmas
: while talking to a San Francisco
Examiner man in the St Francis
hotel. "Presidential possibilities"
were being discussed pro and con
by the San Francisco man and two
local politicians.
"The republican party has three
good men for the place," said one of
the politicians.
Major General Leonard Wood can
carry the country by storm because
he is a man who has seen service
and who is level headed and
, known enough to build up an or
ganization of big men.
Watson "Big Man."
"Jaines.E. Watson, Indiana's sen
ator, is the best fitted for the place,
because he knows the United States
government and is big all the way
through. He doesn't-tour-flush, but
he gets what he goes after.
."Senator Harding of Ohio is fitted
for, the job and has the backbone to
pet what he goes after when he goes
after it. - ;
"Mexico is going to be one of the
big issues and that is what will cost
the democratic party its head.
Watchful waiting elected Wilson,
but it also appointed Burleson and
his crowd. That little old 'W. W.
meant more than even Mr. Wilson
realized. He knew that it meant
Woodrow Wilson in 1912 and watch
ful waiting in 1916, but he didn't hap
pen to think that it would also mean
wholly wrecked for the democratic
party in 1920."
Wood is the favorite in the vicin
ity of San Francisco beyond any
reasonable doubt. Wilson's photo
graph on a motion picture theater
screen brings forth the faintest ap
plause. Pershing goes a little bet
ter. Johnson gets a good hand, but
when Wood steps out in a news
weekly there is an encore every time.
Mayor Ole Hansen, who fought
the ."reds" up in Seattle, would
carry California, but Henry Ford
wouldn't get as many votes as he
has flivvers in the state. Democrats
admit that Ford and Wilson are
neither one popular in California.
Prohibition would hurt Senator Wat
ton on the western coast some, be
cause California does not care for
prohibition any more than it does for
the Japanese.
KOLCIIAK "RAISED
ON BAYONETS OF
HIS MEfOEPORT
London Receives Extract
From Reds' Official Paper
Telling of Disposition of
Anti-Soviet Leader.
London, Jan. 31. The Moscow
wireless service today transmitted
an extract from an article from the
official . bolshevik organ, Pravda,
stating; , ,
"Only a few days ago Supreme
Ruler Kolchak was hoisted on his
soldiers' bayonets.
There has been considerable un
certainty as to the recent where
abouts of Admiral Kolchak. He has
be"en variously reported captured by
the bolsheviki proper west of
Irkutsk, arrested by social revolu
tionists and imprisoned at Irkursk,
and as under detention by revolting
troops from his own armies,
i It has been quite definitely es
tablished, however, that he has not
been a free agent for some weeks,
apparently authentic advices declar
ing that he was turned over to in
surgent revolutionists by General
Janin, the commander of the
Czechs in Siberia, whom the allies
had asked to protect Kolchak. Gen
eral Janin's defenders declare he
was forced to surrender the admiral
or face the annihilation of the
Czech forces.
The last previous report regard
ing Admiral Kolchak was received
through Honolulu on Friday, quot
ing a dispatch to a Japanese news
paper there from Tokio to the ef
fect that Admiral Kolchak was re
ported to have escaped from the
bolsheviki and to be in hiding in
Manchuria.
Admiral Fletcher
Be Called in
Probe of the Navy
-
Washington, Jan. 31. The senate
committee investigating naval deco
rations ana Kear Admiral Sims'
charges that the Navy department
failed to co-ODerate fullv with tht-
allies during the war has asked that
Rear Admiral William B. Fletcher,
who was relieved of command ofi
tne American naval patrol in French
waters in October, 1917, be called
before it as a witness AHnnVi
Fletcher . now commands the
Hawaiian naval district.
It is understood that Admiral

;.:r, as pis counsel. He was re
lieved of his command by Admiral
Sims after the sinking nf tTio tr..
port Antilles with a loss of 67 lives.
"ccoramg to Aiajor Carpenter, Ad-
jimdi neicner contends that the
cause of his removal was in no way
due to any neglect on his part.
After Admiral Fletcher had been
succeeded at Brest by Admiral
Henry B. W ilson, now commander
Ot the Atlantic flrpt if
officially at the Navy department
that Admiral Sims had determined
upon this change in commands be
fore the Antilles was sunk.
Italian Paper Says Wilson
Hoped to Gain World's
Control for United States
Rome, Jan. 31. Publication of
VJe activities of the late Count V.
Maccln di Cellere. former Italian
ambassador at Washington, has
been begun by the Giornale d'ltalia,
which in today's issue takes up re
lations between the late ambassador
and President Wilson. Count Cel
lere is quoted as making the follow
ing statement:
."President Wilson from the be
ginning of the conflict felt it would
give him opportunity to transform
the United States from an industrial
to a commercial power and to shape
European markets with a view to
securing control of them. He
thought to attain this conquest by
imposing peace on the belligerents,
but Germany, with her obstinate
provocations, dragged him into the
war with a hope that it might be
come arbiter when peace finally
came.
Theatrical Star Solves the
Problem of Lator Unrest
v - ' '
"What We Think We are, We are," Explanation to
Relieving Conditions Was Successful With
Chorus Girls, Says Diminutive Stage Dancer. '
The industrial unrest problem of
the world has been solved I No,
Lloyd George, Woodrow Wilson
nor Samuel Gompers haven't had a
hand in the solution. The recent in
dustrial conference didn't even get
"warm" in an attempt to solve it,
and Glenn E. Plumb hasn't even
heard of the new solution. (
To the diminutive . dancer,
Fanchon, of the Fanchon-Marco
Revue, "Lets-Go," goes the" credit
for the solution. Press agent stuff,
you say? But no, the show left
Omaha last night, it can't be that.
, The solution is very simple, as
outlined by Miss Fanchon in her
dressing room at the Brandeis the
ater last night She explained her
plan as she applied a lip stick with
great dexerity and it proved to be
very, oh, very simple.
What we think we are, we are,
she began, scrutinizing herself care
fully in the mirror. "For example,
I have taught our chorus girls to act
as society women instead of bur
lesquers. Many of them have xome
to believe that they really are mem
bers of smart society and the' re
sult is they dress with taste and try
to avoid slang. They simply an
what they think they are, and en
jov being that.
""Now whv wouldn't the same
thing work out with any other type
nf neon !e. Take the day laborer.
for instance if he should think that
he was a ncli man aDOur. xown ne
would be the rich man about town
he thinks he is, and get the satisfac
tion of being that. He might not
be rich, and he might not be about
town' much, in the literal sense, but
what of thai? He would be what
he. thinks he is, and there wouldn't
be any more strikes, tor men about
town don't eo on strikes.
"So there you are 1 It is all very
simple, you seel conciuaea -'miss
Fanchon. as she applied rouge to
'her cheeks,

London Is Skeptical Over
Odessa's Reported Fall
.London, Jan. 31. Officials here
are decidedly skeptical as to the
report received yesterday through
Vienna that Ukrainian bolsheviki
bad captured Odessa. An official
diplomatic dispatch from Odessa,
dated January 29, said it was be
lieved the bolsheviki would be . in
Odessa within seven to 10 days,
judging frdm the .rate of their ad
vance. Meanwhile General Schil
ling, in command at Odessa, was
anxious to remove from the city
some 30,000 civilians, but was un
able to get sufficient transports. The
message left the impression that the
general's plans for the defense of
the city, of which he gave notice
some 10 days ago, were not pro
gressing favorably. :
May Follow European Plan
Of Awarding Naval Medals
Washington, Jan. 31. By direc
tion of Secretary Daniels, Read Ad
miral Knapp, commanding Ameri
can naval forces in European wa
ters, is seeking information as to
the policy of European govern
ments in the matter of decorations
for naval officers whose ships were
destroyed by enemy submarines.
Inquiry by Admiral Knapp, Mr.
Daniels said, already has developed
in the case of Great Britain that "no
set principle was 'adhered to, but
each case judged on its merits." Ad
miral Knapp has nottyet reported as
to the policy of other European ad
miralties in awarding war service
decorations, the secretary said.
Deny Packing Committee
. On Military Training
Washington, Jan. 31. To obviate
charges that the house military com
mittee was packed tor or against
universal training, republican house
leaders have virtually agreed not
to fill a vacancy on the committee,
which is now framing an army re
organization . bill, caused by the
resignation "of former Representa
tive La Guardia, New York. Rep
resentative Harreld, republican,
Oklahoma, nominated as successor,
declined to serve after friction
among republicans had developed to
his selection because of his opposi
tion to universal training.
