Hoover Hints Limit on

Herert Hoover, in an address last
night, declared that had the food ad-.

Of the reaction due to loss of the war;
Mr.. Hoover spoke at dinner in the
Hotel Commodore given by business
men from various parts of the country
in honor Of Julius II. Barnes, United
States Wheat Director.
1.-THE Grain Corporation" said Mr.
Hoover, was successfully managed by
Mr.. Barnes. In 1917 the wheat price
was $3.50 bushel. The farmers could
have obtained S. a bushel, but that
would have meant $40 to $50 -four

For Wet Plank
Drys Backed by Nebraska,

Great Percentage To Be

From The Tribunes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Hope for
moist plank in the Democratic plat
forthwith the accompanying possibil-
ty of carrying Massachusetts, New
York, New Jersey, Wisconsin and other
wet but normally Republican states
flickered and almost died with the news
that William Jennings Bryan had been
elected delegate to the San Francisco
convention.
Bryan at the Democratic convention,
backed by dry delegates from practi-
cally all the Southern and most of the
Western states, fighting for dry
plank, is regarded by most political
observers here as too high hurdle for
the wet forces to surmount. Incl
dentally the politicians take the view
that defeat in Nebraska assures-aafea at
in most of the Middle Western states.
Owing to the strength Of the Hitchcock
Mullen machine, the vets in Nebraska
were better cntrenched than in almost
any other state in the Mississippi VAL
ley, excluding, of course. the very wet
states of Missouri and Illinois.
Vets Still Defiant
The vets, while not discounting the
Importance of their defeat in the cleo
as delegates-at-la large, declare that it is
not a measure of popular sentiment in
Nebraska. They assert that the state is
as wet as ever, and that in cean-cut
wet and dry fight the Hitchcock ma
chine would have triumphed. They are
inclined to the belief that the overturn
was brought about by the treaty fight
Bryan declaring for ratification of the
treaty, even with the Lodge reserva
tons, and personally denouncing Arti-
Gle X, while the Hitchcock forces stood
for the Presidents position.
In the very states the Democrats had
hoped to win if they could insert a
moist plank there has been Demo
cratic revolt against Wilson on tn
treaty. This is notably true in Massa
chusetts, whore the Democrats were
solidly behind Senator David l. Walsh
IN his fight for strong reservations; il
New Jersey, Rhode Island and to q con
siderable extent in New York SO tina
the moist plank plan carried with it tn,
idea Of a very diplomatic plank on tn,
peace treaty, which would not drive tn,
Irish Americans out Of the Democrat
party.
But in Nebraska the situation wa.
reversed, with the wet leaders dc
Tending every comma IN the peac,
treaty and the drys attacking ths
Presidents position.
Hitchcock Much Distressed

ington to-day, much distressed owe,

man by Bryan man. Despite the
election of Bryan, Senator Hitchcock
explained, the delegation will cast six
teen votes for Hitchcock on the first
ballot, since Bryan agreed in advance
Of the primary that he would permit
his alternate to vote for Hitchcock if
the Senator got the preference vote
In the state, which he did by q heavy
majority.
Senator Hitchcock called attention
to the fact that the Nonpartisan
Leaguers, totaling about 10000 votes,
agreed to go over solidly into the Re-
publican primary. This resulted in
the Republicans polling a total of
about 100000 votes in their primary,
although the Democrats polled only
about 10000. 1t is understood that the
Nonpartisan League strength was cast
rather solidly for Senator Hiram
Johnson.
How jubiliant the drys are over the
election Of Bryan is indicated bv a
statement issued by the Anti-Saloon
League here to-day.
"The Importance Of it is doubly sig
nif1cant because the majority of the
Democrats heretofore in Nebraska

Senate Democrats
Expected to Name
Leader Tuesday
Hitchcock Summons Caucus.
and Hoke Smiths Vote
Is Expected to Break Tie
in Favor of Underwood

From The Tyibune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Democrats
in the Senate will elect a permanent
leader of the Administration forces
next Tuesday. A caucus of Democrats
was called to-day by Senator Hitchcock,
acting minority leader, upon his re-
turn from Nebraska.
Senator Oscar W. Underwood, of Ala
bama, seems assured of the election.
He and Senator Hitchcock received tie
votes for the. leadership at caucus
held by the Democrats last fell, shortly
after the death of Senator Thomas s..
Martin, of Virginia, who had served as
Democratic leader for several years.
Senator Smith, of Georgia. declined
to vote for either candidate at the first
caucus, but since then he has informed
friends of Senator Underwood he would
next caucus. Senator Smiths vote
would break the tie and elect one or
the other of the two candidates.
The caucus was called for Tuesday
in accordance with an agreement made
by Senators Hitchcock and Underwood
several weeks ago. 1t was agreed that
the election would be held imm ediately
after the Nebraska primary. in which
Senator Hitchcock sought the Nebraska
delegation to the San Francisco con-
vention.
There has been little disposition
among Democratic Senators, and espe-
ca}ly on the partsof the two candidates
for the leadership, to have the selec-
<lN hut = i 1oI hat
permanent leader of the Administra-
ton force must be chosen, as the
Democrats have been without the dircc-
ton of a duly constituted loader since
the death of Senator Martin.
Both Senator Hitchcock and Senator
Underwood said to-day they did not de-
sire the position, in view of the tangled
situation on the Democratic side of
the Senate.
The Democrats in the Senate are
split into several factions as the re-
suit of the long struggle over the
Versailles Treaty, and in addition to
that there is general feeling of re-
sentiment among Democratic Senators
his failure to consult with them about
questions in which the Democratic
party was concerned.
Senator Hitchcock himself was I'M
able to confer with the President dur
ing the treaty fight, and the only occa-
sions on which Mr.. Wilson recognized
Democrats in the Senate, it was
pointed out to-day, was when he would
send them instructions as to how to
vote on ratification. Senator Hitch
cock has resented this, and his col
leagues have Joined him in criticising
the President for not permitting them
to discuss matters with him.

United States Senator James A. Reed,

the Democratic State Convention, which
met here to-day to elect delegates to

Under convention rules all district

Speakers he dinner of the Munich
pal Art Society at the Hotel Aston

ing motive in the city's war memorial
should be artistic rather than utli-

jects than to delight the eye.

though revision or amendment of the

might be necessary. At present that

The mandamus evil has been cured

Section 10 Of the financial article Of the
charter replied Mr.. White.
That section provides that no ln =
bility Of any kind shall be enforcible
against the city unless there has been n
previous appropriation by Council. This
would in my opinion prevent the man :
domusing of the city by executive
county officers in cases where Council
had not appropriated money to pay for
services or supplies, etc. ..
raWhether it would prevent man E
damusing by courts Is more doubtful.
but in cases not directly connected with
judicial work is at least worth trial.

act. 1t has been prevented by Section
10 Of the charter IL this is not effective
