WILSON READY
TO RUN AGAIN,
LEADERS THINK
President's Noncommittal At
titude Makes Him Potential
Candidate,' Big Men of
Party Believe. '
By GRAFTON WILCOX.
Chlcftf Trlbnm-Omah Bw Leased Wire.
Chicago, June 19. Is Woodrpw
Wilson, who said in his statement
to the country Friday: "J have not
raised ray hand or voice to aid in
the promotion of any ambition for
the democratic presidential nomina
tion, and I shall not do so," bid
ding for renominatioMt San Fran
cisco? , -
If not, why, with the convention
almost at. hand, prospective nom
inees - galore pleading for consid
eration, and the delegates ol their

to the question of candidates, again

tration, for a democratic platform
endorsing his attitude on the-league
of nations, did William G. McAdoo,
the president's son-in-law and fore
rtost of the candidates, issue an open
telegram absolutely withdrawing
irom me presidential nomination
contest?'
these questions were agitating
democratic leaders todav after Mr.
Wilson's interview outlining the-po-
sition the . democratic party should
take on the issues of the campaign,
naa been published throughout the
country, borne of the party stal
warts, although unready to say so
publicly, were certain that the pres
ident had good reason for refusing
to declare himself out of the nomina-
tion contest. Their feeline that Mr,
Wilson earnestly hoped the party
would renominate him at San Fran
cisco, was converted into a convic
tion today with the publication of
Mr. AlcAdoo s telegram to former
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
anouse, declaring that he would not
accept th democratic nomination
under any circumstances.
Sqme of the friends of, Mr. Mc
Adoo, viewing his admonition to
delegates not to vote for him, in the
light of the White House utterance
ot today, .declared they believed Mr.
McAdoo is advised that his distin
guished father-in-law wants the San
. Francisco nomination for himself,
It's Dubious Now.
These democrats, not all of them
favorable to McAdoo, do not believe
that Mr. Wilson could get a two
thirds majority at San Francisco.
Although not certain the convejtfio
may not result in a complete ratifica
tion of- Wilson' policies, they could
s not believe that it would submit to a
Wilson renomination, the upsetting
, T)t the third term tradition and to a
break 'in the party solidarity which
a third term nomination would mean.
The withdrawal of McAdoo," in the
minds of all, made the outcome of
the situation at San Francisco mors
dubious than ever. When askecTwho
might be -nominated, party lead
ers answered variously, suggesting
Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana, vice
I resident of the United States;
James M. Cox, governor of Ohio;
John'W. DJvis of West Virginia,
ambassador to England; Bainbridge
Colby of New York, secretary of
state, and various others who are on
the long list of democratic aspirants.
Ham Lewis Talks.
Few democrats could be found
' who wished to commit themselves
publicly to the Wilson candidacy.
Not so, however, ex-Senator .James
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, a candi
date for vice president, who sees in
the president's statement an open
hint to the convention to nominate
himnd to let him lead his own fight
wifh the league issue paramount.
' "The country," said Mr. Lewiy"is
of the mind that now is the time to
settle the issue of the league of na
tions, either as proposed by Mr. Wil
son or to .get "the judgment of the
people against itv They want the
'questiondecided as to whether the
country is ready for "departure from
the old policy of isolation ior which
Mr. Wilson's doctrine calls.
. "If the nation votes .with the re
publican platform the country will
accept it as, closing the demand in
America for a leagueof nations.
r - Is Improving Physically.
"In this connection there appears
to be a conviction on the part of
' some that the. president himself
should be nominated and carry his
own issue as he'presented it in the
interview published this morning.
These people argue that if Wilson
is right the doctrines of Washing-
" ton against foreign entanglements
- are gone and with them has disap
peared the . admonititon against a
third term.
"It should be noted that the presi
dent said in his, interview that he
would not interfere as to candidates
' at San Francisco and also that he
omitted, just as he did in his letter
to' the 'Jackson day dinner at Wash
ington, to say that he, himself, would
not take the nomination. The fact
also that the president Sought to
make it evident that his physical con
dition was stronger than when he
returned from Paris, makes for the
' belief that he is willing to take tit
the fight." ; '
Informal discussion of issues and
candidates is expected here tomor
row between Illinois democrat lead-J
ers, Tom Taggert of Jndiana, Charlesl
F. Murphy, leader of Tammany
Hall; Gov. Albert" E. Smith.New
York, and others. Taggart will brm&
the Marshall boom? toward which
New York, it ii said, will look with
, favor if Governor Cox cannot be
nominated. Taggart wants to sound
out Illinois sentiment toward Mar-
shall..
Then There's Edwards. ,
I Another candidate who has been
much overlooked of late is Gov. E. I.
Edwards of New Jersey, whose
boom passed through Chicago today
in possession of his campaign man
ager, Walter W. Vick of New York.
Edwards js the out and out "wet"
platform candidate. Discussing, the
issue today, Mr. Vick said that "not
less than. 700 delegates in the San
Fraitcisco convention will be in favor
of a modification of the Volstead
act, permitting the use of light wines
and beers in. such states as wish to
do so, wSth state control of regula

FORESEE SERIOUS
COAL SHORTAGE IN
U. S. NEXT WINTER
Situation Already Acute in
Some Districts, Federaf Re
serve Report Sas.
Washington, June 19. A coal
shortage, next winter, which may
curtail production of 'iron and seri-'
ously affect other industries is fore
seen by the ' federal reserve board
in its review Friday of business,
industrial and financial conditions of
the month of May. The situation al
ready is acute in some districts,
according to the board, and pro
duction in many lines is being held
down.
Production of coal is being cur
tailed, chiefly as a result of car
shortage,. the reserve board reports..
It Nis estimated the car supply at
mines i nthe east is only 30 per cent
of normal. Labor difficulties, while
complicating the situation, are con
sidered by the board as only a i
minor cause ot reduced coal pro
duction. , Efforts of shippers on the Great
coal by pooling their shipments, are
regarded by the board as only a
partial remedy.
In--the southwest, according to
the review, many mines are operat
ing it only two-thirds capacity. Coal
shipments to other countries are re
ported as licht. No reduction of
coal prices is in . sight, the board-
says. . s
Commenting on the far-reaching
effect of the car shortage and freight
congestion, the reserve board states
that reports of its agents indicate
that the "transportation tieup is
largely the result of the railroad
strike, which still co'ntiriues over a
large section of the country1.'' . .

AIRPLANE MAIL
PILOT IS SAVED
BY RADIO OUTFIT
Learns of Storm Ahead by
Means of Wireless Com-'
munication.
Chlcaga Tribune-Omaha Bee, aed Wire.
Washington, ' June 19. Through
the use of radio communication,
costl damage to a $40,000 airplane
and possible injury to its passengers
was recently averted during a flight
of the regular mail plane between
Cleveland and Chicago, according
to announcement by the postoffice
department. The plane, a large
Martin twin motor machine, left
Cleveland under perfect weather
conditions about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon with the mail for Chicago.
Thewireless operator was in touch
with various radio stations within
the range of 100 miles.
During the course of the flight
the Cleveland station picked up the
plane by wireless and transmitted
a storm warning from the lower
lakes for the air mail pilot. The
radio operatort once got in touch
with navy stalions for further de
tails as to the velocity and direc
tion of the wind in the approaching
storm, with the result that the plane
landed at the emergency air mail
station alf Bryan, O., where addi
tional gas and oil was taken' on to
meet the approaching head winds.
The plane proceeded -to Chicago
and within an hour ran into avtHun
der storhi. The lightning dis
charges were so near the. plane that
the . amplifier of the radio set was
paralyzed and the operator was
obliged to remove the radio helmet
from his tyead. The antennae ab
sorbed an ..electric charge while
passing through the clouds, shock
ing the operator. He reeled in the
antannae until the storm had passed.
By this time darkness had set in
and the pilot of the plane had an
S. O. S7 call sent to the stations
surrounding Chicago, asking the
fieldmanager to set flares and turn
on the flood lights to enable him
to make a landing in ths dark. Seven
amateur and regular radio stations
responded, with the result that with
this assistance, the field was lights
ed and the plane set down between
the-red light markers.

STRIKE FORECAST
BY 'POTATO KING'
Coloradoan Says Agricultur
ists Will Nqt Continue to
Raise Crops Under Pres
ent Conditions.
Chirm ro Trlboae-Onah Bee Leafed Wire.
Chicago, June 19. A "strike of
farmers that will astound the world"
is predicted 1y E. H. Grubb, inter
nationally known as a "potato king"
of Colorado, and perhaps the final
word on potato culture.
He is consulting agriculturist of
a Sacramento valley irrigation com
pany in California, a breeder of
blooded , stock and recognized the
world over as an expert in agricul
ture.
His warning comes in a letter to
A. C. Thomas, member of the Chi
cago Press club, and says' in part:
"Farmers will not continue to pro
duce crops at a loss and under pres
ent conditions. Air kinds of meat
and grain products are being sold at
prices that lose money to the farmer.
"The 'worm has turned, commer
cial agriculture is at end, it cannot go
on with the high cost of inefficient
labor, shorrliours and-other unfavor
able conditions. There are millions
of acres of depopulated farms in New
York because those who farmed the
lands sold" the fertility off without
replacing anythipg. The kw price
of products prevented the purchase
of necessary fertilizer.
"In parts of Colorado the farm la
bor situation is so serious that farm
ers are doing only such wojls can
be accomplished by themselves and
their families. Great tracts are be
ing sown to grass. One farm I know
of formerly produced 50,000 bushels
of potatoes and 5,000 bushels of
wheat.
"Now, 2,500 food consumers must
look elsewhere for potatoes and
1,000 others must seek new supplies
of bread. .
"Housekeepers' boycotts will not
charfge these conditions. The 35,
000,000 people who derive their sup
port ' from agriculture will rise up
and assert their independence in a
way to astound the world."
