Washington, Sept. 23. (Special
Telegram.) James W. Gerard,
former ambassador to Germany,
" frankly admitted ;to the special sen
ate committee investigating cam
paign expenditures, -thai he had been
charged by the democratic national
committee to go ut into the by'
ways and hedges 'and get money
for the committee. ie said a list
had been turned ; over to him by
Treasurer Marsh of. possible first
class aids and the.Nebraskan on the
list was E. -tE. . Howell of Omaha.
He began his campaign' by getting
in touch with he persons suggest
ed and already' results are, beginning
to show as the. (inettsjve drive
goes on. 1
L. White Busby; secretary to ex
Speaker Cannon, . and jvi veteran
newspaper correspondent, has re
turned from the campaign in Illi
nois, which he characterizes as the
biggest actional .'fight.. the republic-1
r.ns of thatstatthave :liad since!
1880. - i
. -But, like, thatvof,, 1,880, this row
between the ffolloweijt.&f Governor
Lowden andjdayo? Thompson will
develop a big fnajor-ity for Harding
' and the whole republican ticket in
November," said Mr. liusby. "The
factions ysaw to it-4havyrry repub
iican in the state :wsis. "registered for
the primary and the "result of the
primary being a 50-50 proposition,
the twta factions will come together
with the largest republican vote in
. November ever cast in Illinois.
Personal Fight.
"The fight was only a personal one
between Governor Lowden and
Mayor Thompson in the beginning,
bat by each making up a slate -before
the orimarv. thev snread their
quarrel all over Illinois, dividing the
republicans into sheep and goats, un
til it looked like a wide-open split for
a tew weeks. But tne great majority
of republicans did not know what
the cuarrel was about, and after the
primary they forgot it.
"ILen Small, the candidate for gov-
... . r i- .
crnor, is a iarmer, a Danxer ana a
newspaper publisher at Kankakee.
He has never been identified with
the Chicago organieation, but always
identified'with the 'down-state' wing
of the party, and has been twice
elected state treasurer. He has built
up one of the biggest agricultural
, fairs in the state, which has made
him very popular wth the farmers.
Without the endorsement of Mayor
Thompson, Mr. Small would have
swept the state outside' of Cook
county, fcut when Mayor Thompson
endorsed Small, the Lowden faction
classified him and all his friends as
goats to bfrfjerded and controlled by
Thompson and his 'Tammany ter
riers.' The whole state organization
ror "administration lined tipith Low
den, for they were aN candidates for
renomination, and that split the
party into Lowden and Thompson
factions, with no outstanding issue
except Thompson's demand for
'home rule for Chicago and the
abolition of the state board of pub
lic utilities. .'
Papers Support Lowden.
"Lowden had the support of the
, Chicago newspapers because of
their long feud with Thompson, and
the factions ramified until they in
volved every republican representa
tive in congress and, brought con
tests against them for io reason
other than the fact Ihat they fav
"feted . Small for, governor, just as
they and Small had supported Low
den for governor four - years ago.
'Uncle Joe' Cannon had been agreed
upon as the candidate for renomino
r tion by the unanimous action of the
republican county and district con
ventions in May, but because Small
lived in Cannon's district-vand has
been one of Cannon's chief lieuten
ants for many years, Cannon an
nounced that he would be loyal to
a loyal political friend, and support
Small for the nomination for, gov
.ernor. That announcement brought
out a candidate against 'Uncle Joe'
on the ground that : he was a
Thompsonite and his opponent
mide no other; issue than that he
was a Lqwdenrte.
"Thrc-also favored McKinlev for
senator, though McKinley was on
N the Lowden s-late, but that made no
difference, to - the Lowden faction,
whose spear icnew .no brother who
exercised any. judgment of his bwn
as to who; should be the-candidate
for governor.
"But that ms the way the primary
resulted, in the nomination of Small
for governor and McKinley for
senator, and both factions are sat
isfied. All the down-state repub
lican congressmen were renomi
nated. Thompson will work for the
whole ticket because his candidate
for governor was chosen, and the
Lowden faction will support the
ticket because McKinley was nomi
nated for the United States senate.
The State will give Harding the big
gest majority ever recorded, and in
J916 Hughes' majority was mors
..than 200,000.' '

Washington, Sept. 23. The United

from the Mesopotamia any part of
the oil supply twhich it may need in
the future, according to a statement
just made by Sir John Cadman, oil
controller of England, speaking of
the effect of the British treaty with
Turkey on the world struggle for oil,
Sir John declares that there will be
no nationalization of the Mesopota
mian fields, but suggests that 'they
may be worked by private English
concerns who obtained concessions
in that country from Turkey before
the war. The State department re
cently inquircd-Pf London whether
Americans wou'.d be excluded from
oil exploitation, particularly in Mesd
polamia.
"Oil, when it is secured," says Sir
John, "will be brought down to the
Mediterranean and placed on thel
general oil marbets of the world. It
will be' sent to Great Britain;- France,
Italy and, other" countries. I have
omitted the United States, as obvi
ously with her own huge supplies she
will not need it." ,
vSir John emphasizes that as long
as "we were buying cheaply from the
United States and as long as they
had a big surplus there was no in

"Chicago, Sept. 23. John vWana

"The California question is fast

agrees to refrain from permitting
further emigration in exchange for
the American guarantee that rights

"Such an agreement, however,
