NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Senate Inquiry Discloses Some Big Campaign Funds, but No Real Scandal. 6UESSES US TO ITS EFFECT Qomp«n Telia Labor Ita Election Duty —Profiteer* Qet Several Blow*— President Want* to Accept American Mandate, but Cong reM la (^ipoaed. By EDWARD W. PJ^KARD. Senator Boraii. Certainly started something wKen he brought about the aenate Investigation of the preconven tion expenses of the various presiden tial candidates. According to the gen erally accepted theory, the Inquiry was intended by' ita promoters to help the candidacy of Senator Hiram John a*n. At (his writing It Is not easy to say whom It has moat helped and whom most hart. Some political ex perts who profess to have no bias as sert that so far as the Republican side of It Is concerned, the Investigation presages the nomination of some dark horse, or possibly of Senator Knox, who Is not exactly dark, thoogh not an open candidate for the honor. The Idea of those prophets la that the facta elicited by the aenate committee eliminate all of the active aspirants except peihaps Johnson, and that the party leaders will never consent to the nomination of the Callfornlan. However, In thla matter every man can be his own prophet, and his personal predilections probably will govern his forecast, 1 Governor Lowden's managers were the first to be heard, and In accord with their assertions that they had nothing to conceal they stated that 'the Lowden fond was something over $400,000, of which the governor and ihla wife had contributed $879,159. [Other contributions ranged from $2,600 downward. Nothing very startling or shocking In that The Polndexter, Johnson and Hoover fnnds were each found to be less than SIOO,OOO, and Senator Sutherland's was only $478. Harding's la $107,704. Then the big noise came' with the questioning of Colonel Proctor, head of the Wood or ganisation. He admitted without hes itation that a fund of more than $1,000,000 had been raised to finance the general's catfipalgn, and stated tbat he himself had "advanced" $500,- ;000 of, thla. He confessed his expec jtatlon of getting thla back waa' not .strong, and that he waa ready to ad vance more If it were needed. Other liberal contributors to the Wood fund. !*ald Proctor, were Col. Ambrose Monell of New Tork, William Wrlgley, Jr., and OoL B. M. Byllesby. I Doctor Butler's candidacy. It was 'learned, has been financed to the ex |tent of $40,560. I Naturally the committee did not [overlook the Democratic candidates, 'and It brought out facts that, ing to the political sharps mentioned ,above, wiped out the chances of Attor ney General Maimer. Questioned by Chairman Kenyon, former Congressman C. C. Carlln, Palmer's manager, ad mitted that both he and J. Bruce Ster ling, the Palmer manager of Pennsyl vania, were attorneys for steel Inter est* charged with evasion of paying In 'come taxes. The latter represents the 'Crucible Steel company, which the ; government compelled to pay $9,000,- 000, and the former Is the attorney for Herbert Dupuy, connected with the steel concern, who, with hi! wife, i was charged with being about $1,000,- iOOO abort In Income tax paid. Mr. (Carlln said the largest contributors to Palmer's $60,000 fund were J. M. fluffy of Pennsylvania and J. Harry Covington, who as counsel under Pal mer when was alien prop erty custodian, received fees so large 'as to cause public comment. ! Walker W. Tick, representing Ed fwarda, denied Indignantly that there had been any deal with liquor Inter aria to support or finance the cam paign of the New Jersey governor. Mr. Edwards, be raid, hasn't had a idrink in SO years, and la standing for the principles of personal liberty and state sovereignty. So far as the , committee could discover, there Is no jXcAdoo fund, and only about $28,000 has been raised for the Cox cam paign. Sober thinking men will scarcely find anything scandalous In the facts elicited by the senate committee, but »—— l —fcWuMtaflw |f»|« w pellditdreg that are considered neccs- ] snry In our pre-conventlon campaigns under the primary system. Tliey also show that Michigan Is an expensive state, the fight for a presidential pref erence vote there costing' almost as , much as the last senatorial campaign. The contest in Ohio was plmost as costly. In these and some other states large sums were expended by local organizations that do not ap pear In the figures submitted by the national managers. The Johnson people In the Chicago .headquarters were the first to put jforth a definite claim as to the num ber of votes with which their candi date would enter the convention. Their inssertlon is that Hiram will have 230 'delegates pledged to stick with him jto the last ditch. An Interesting /'guess at what the first ballot In the [Coliseum will look like is made by a ( shrewd observer. Here It Is: iFor Wood 200 [For Lowden 208 (For Johnson 121 |For Harding 112 (For Nicholas Murray Butler..' 79 "For Governor Sprout...' 70 For Governor Coolldge 80 |For Governor Morrow 28 |For La Follette 24 For Prltchard 22 [For Polndexter 14 For Du Pont 0 ' Total delegates 984 .Necessary to a choice .......493 \ The orators for the two conventions are being selected. Former governor iwillls of Ohio will place Senator [Harding In nomination In Chicago, and the same for Senator Johnson. In San Francisco former Governor Shallen berger of Nebraska will present the iname of Hitchcock, C. F. X. O'Brien 'of Jersey Clty.that of Edwards, Clnude " iPorter will nominate E. T. Meredith, [John H. Bigelow will place Palmer he tore the convention, and Dr. Burrls (Jenkins of Kansas City will name Mc ' [Adoo, • ••'■ Samuel Gompers took his whack at politics last week, devoting a long ar ticle to a denunciation of congress and the executive departments for "Incom petence on the cost of living Issue," and calling for an overturn In congress and the defeat of labor's enemies and election of Its friends. He demands "Immediate effective action to prevent continued Increases In (he cost of liv ing," and at the same, time soys 1 .wages, both In private employment and In government service, must he • adjusted upward. There must be no more such legislation ns (ho Escli i Cummins railroad law and the Kansas ' court of Industry law, averts Mr. ' Gompers, and existing Inws like those • must be repealed. His statements concerning wages and legislation sound Inconnstent, hut no one will • quarrel with his severe remarks about ' profiteering, unless it be the profiteers themselves. labor chief had some ■ bard things to say about Attorney , General Palmer's efforts 'to curb that evil. The profiteers were dealt several blows during the week. The federal : circuit court of appeals lii New York , upheld the Lever act as constitutional, the case ol Weed A Co., Buffalo I clothiers, affirming the decision of ■ Judge Haxel, who refused to t*. Join a ' district attorney from proceeding • against the company on profiteering ■ charges. A federu! grand Jury, Also ■ In New York, Indicted tbe American ■ Woolen company and William M. ■ Wood, Its president, for violating the ■ Lever act by 'profiteering in selling > cloth at unjust and unreasonable i prices. The government attorneys - i said It developed that the company ' I was receiving 85 per cent profit above > I coat, although Mr. Wood claimed (he 1 j profit proposed by tbe concern for Ita , | 1020 business wss but 1214 per cent , j Testimony before a New York in . i vestlgatlng committee revealed that r .the American sugar business is In the . | hands of three or four persons, that .; there Is « large "Invisible" supply of the commodity somewhere In the Unit ed States, and that a million tons are . j stored In Cuba for higher prices. In e Chicago many carloads of sugar were I found In railroad yards, but the deal h | ers and railway managers asserted It « I could not be unloaded l>entise of the >. { switchmen's strike. The federal an- I j thoritiea there contemplsted some I! drastic action to get tbe sugar on tbe j market. > President Wilson stirred up the anl ) mala again with his request that con . grea* authorise him to accept a man date for Armenia. In a message sent f ' to both houses be aald that he was act i tog "to tbe confidence tbat lam speak t lng tbe spirit and in Accordance with . I the wishes ot the greatest of Chris- GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. JUNE 10,1920 ! tlan peoples." He felt "he was giving 1 advice "from which the congress will j not willingly turn a way." But congress did turn away from It with an npproach to unanimity that would discourage a less determined ' man than Mr. Wilson. ltepubttcan leaders, almost without exception, ex pressed themselves ns opposed to granting the request, and even Senator Hitchcock said, after several days, that he did not expect to support It Then along came William Jennings Bryan with the uncompromising asser- I tlon that an American mandate over | Armenia or any other country was Impossible. ' At first It was said congress would tako no action on the president's re quest until later In the summer, but this plan was reconsidered. The ssfc nte foreign relations committee af ter brief dlscuMon, reported a reso lution declining the mandate, and tbe house committee on foreign affair* asked Secretary of State Colby to ap pear before It and give information. The president sent in his expected veto of the Knox pence resolution on Thursday. Meanwhile, tbe Armenians aro try ing to Insure their own safety on one border at least by entering Into nego tiations with the Russian bolshevlkf,, who have been threatening them on the north. They accepted an Invita tion to send delegates to Moscow. The Georgians already have mhde an agree* ment with the Moscow government, undertaking to prevent the use of Georgian territory as a base of .attack* on the bolshevlkl. On tho other aide the Armenians are confronted with the Turkish nationalists, whose leader, Muatapha Kemnl Pasha,' has reiterat ed his'defiance of the allies and his unending opposition to tho terms of the peace treaty. In Thrace, where the Turks are opposing occupation by the Greeks, tliey have met with several do feats. The war between tho Poles and the soviet Russians continues unabated, find advantages are claimed by both sides. It Is apparent that tbe Rus sians have had the best of It along the northern part of the long bat tle line.
