mate question of his right to a seat
to be submitted to the committee
through ' its committee on crcden
tials.
"Vet the national committee, with
Chairman Hays absent from ths
chair, is assuming to decide the mat
ter in advance but to decide it upon
the narrow lines of the committee's
personal preference.
"Gen. Wood's friends have always
understood that the national com
mittee as at present constituted fa
vored the nomination of Governor
Lowden. We have never questioned
their right to hold such a preference,
but we do question, seriously and
vigorously, their right to color their
decisions, which should be merely
ministerial, if not judicial, but such
preference, and the conditions under
which so many of the present na
tional committeemen hold their
places only increases the strength
with which we now assail the course
which they are pursuing.
Speaks of Candidates.
"As a result of the primaries and
conventions held throughout the
union, substantially one-third of the
members of the present national
committee have failed to get in the
confidence of their constituents and
they will go out of office the day the
convention adjourns. Yet these re
pudiated committeemen, in defiance
of the popular judgment already
rendered, are seeking to impose their
peevish purpose upon the conven
tion, the party and the country.
"Certain facts are outstanding in
the compilation, of preconveution
events. Chief among these is the
demonstrated fact that three men
have shown themselves to possess
widespread and well-founded sup
port among republicans. These men,
in the order of their demonstrated
strength, are Gen. Wood, Senator

hnson and Mr. Hoover. Exceot in
bib own state. Gov. Lowden has
-ui,ver succeeded in running better
than a poor third in any primary.
This is not said in any derogation of
of Gov. Lowden's many good quali
ties. It is a plain statement of po
litical fact to which the country is
not impervious, even though the na
tional committee is. , "
Scheme to Help Lowden.
"There seems to be no secrecy
about the national committee's
plans. They think by 'their high
handed methods to remove from the
Wood column a sufficient number of
votes to the Lowden column to
equalize the apparent strength of
these two rivals on the first ballot.
One hesitates to revive the harsh
language of 1912, but there is only
one word which can fitly charac
terize such procedure, and I refer
inquisitive persons to the vocabulary
of eight years ago to learn what that
word is.
"Twice before in republican his
tory have similar tactics been em
ployed. In 1892 at Minneapolis, no
attention was paid to the merits of
any contestant and delegates were
seated solidly upon the basis of the
common preference, which they had
with a national committeeman, who
awarded them their scats. Twenty
years later similar tactics were pur
sue in Chicago and a student of
political history may find something
worthy of reflection if he will scan
the election returns in those two
years, so fatal to republican hopes.
Listen to Paid Agents.
"It is true that the committee sits
in the open with the paid agents of
Ueorge W. rerkins and others,
freely circulating through the com
mittee room and whispering their
darkening counsels into the ears of
unsophisticated committeemen. With
this exception the parallel is perfect.
I strongly hope it will not be car
ried to the election as it was eight
and 28 years ago.
"I am saying this, of course,
chiefly because of my ardent inter
est in Gen. Wood's candidacv. But
it all applies equally to Senator
Johnson and to Mr. Hoover, who,
with Gen. Wood have demonstrated
the possession of popular political
support. I cannot tell how cither
Senator Johnson or Mr. Hoover
would comment upon the astounding
arrogance of what is now taking
place in the Coliseum ante room: but
I know them well enough to know
that they would not for a minute
countenance in their own behalf the
"high-handed usurpation which the
national committee is settinp up and
they would be as strict as I to de
nounce it when practiced upon an
other. Wood-Johnson Combine.
"To this I can only add that the
Wood strength plus the Johnson
strength easily control the conven
tion and while the national commit
tee may be too short-sighted to
know that what they are doing is
making a coalition of these two
forces inevitable, there are other
people discerning enough to see it."
Col. Procter and others ;n Wood
headquarters called a conference to
night after hearing of Senator
Moses'' statement and it was indi
cated "that a statement from the
Wood headquarters was under con
sideration. Lowden and Johnson managers
both hailed the Moses statement
with satisfaction. The Lowden sup
porters professed to believe that the
statement would not injure, but
might help, the governor's campaign.
Scout Coalition Idea.
They pointed out that Senator
Moses' attack was made upon the
national committee with its influen
tial membership and not uoon the
governor or his managers.
From the' Johnson camp came the
declaration that Senator Moses' po
sition indicated that both the Wood
and Johnson forces could be ex
pected to oppose nominations of any
man named by the "old guard." The
friends of Senator Johnson, how
ever, scouted the present possibility
of a coalition with the Wood
strength in the convention in be
half of either Wood or Johnson.

own uses instead of expending it
in pjimary organization. If the
delegates pledged to Lowden who
are to arrive in the next few days
should disclose any considerable
weakening as a result of the" influ
ence of popular opinion in connec
tion with the campaign fund affair,
the nomination of Lowden may be
come' an impossibility.
Lowden Not Injured.
There is clear indication .among
the delegates arriving today, how
ever, that the Illinois governor has
not been appreciably injured in pub
lic esteem by the Washington testi
mony, 'chiefly because he lost no
time in demonstrating that he
turned over the fund to be expend
ed in Missouri for legitimate or
ganization purposes and that he was
taken advantage of by a couple of
unscrupulous delegates.
The Missouri delegation will
meet in Chicago next Monday tJ
discuss the expenditure df $38,000
of Lowden campaign funds in their
state, it was announced today.
The opposition to Governor Low
den in Chicago is confined to the
democratic press and representa
tives of the democratic party, ac
cording to .Senator Lawrence Sher
man. Senator Johnson spent part of the
day in scouting around to get ideas
as to the league of nations attitude
among the platform builders. He
met Chairman Will H. Hays of the
republican national committee ' and
had a conversation that was said to
be a trifle warm, though it was de
nied there had been any dispute.
The senator then went out into the
byways to feel the convention pulse.
When he returned to his hotel, he
said :
"There is one very singular thing
and that is that I am apparently
the only man in this campaign (but
perhaps I ought not to say so)
but, so far as I am aware, I am
the only candidate who is thinking
of the platform, and I am thinking
of it because I am thinking of re
publican success. I want this re
publican party to do the job after
this war that it did after the last
great war. I want it to be the party
of reconstruction, the party that
represents all of the people, and the
partv that finally brought the coun
try into the situation it ought to be
brought after a very, very great con
flict." Has Nebraska Delegation.
The suggestion that friends of
other candidates are seeking to un
dermine Senatoj- Johnson's strength
in the Michigan and Nebraska dele
gations led him to say:
."I would not say that I think it is
going on, but I have had it sug
gested that it was. I want nothing
to do with that kind of politics. I
will have the Neebraska and Michi
gan delegations. You will find their
pledges in writing."
"Do you mean that those del
gates are to remain with you until
you personally release them?"
"Until it be demonstrated beyond
a peradventure of a doubt that I am
out of the fight and that would
mean substantially until I release
them. I am no trader. I will make
no compromise or trades, but will
make a straight-out fight I will
take what comes with absolute
equanimity. I am going to win if
it is possible. I am making a
straight-out fight, with a definite,
certain view upon a specific plat
form." "Have you a plank on the league
of nations platform?"
"I have none here, but I under
stand one has been prepared, of
which I am not at liberty to speak,
that will develop."
Wood Denies Friction.
Gen. Wood denied today that
there had been any friction among
his campaign managers.
"The rumor that there has been
friction and that Col. Procter is to
cease to manage my campaign i
false and I can only attribute it to
enemy propaganda," he said.
