Thomas l.. Watson, the bitter per-

platform opposing the league of ma

Hoke Smith ran on platform
demanding substantial reservations
which would thoroughly Americanize
the league of nations covenant. He
opposed the adoption at San Fran
cisco of platform indorsing the
covenant as brought back from Paris.
He opposed the nomination of Presi-
dent Wilson for third term. He
carried 1OrIy-SlX COuHllSS Will
county unit vote of ITO and popular
vote of 1888. His unit vote and
Watson's unit vote make total of
24O, which is an overwhelming ma
jority~ of the convention. His popular
vote and Watson's popular vote make
a total of 1856, which is two-thirds
of the total vote polled.
Attorney General Palmer ran on
platform indorsing every phase of the
Wilson administration. He did not
commit himself regarding a third
term nomination. He opposed all res
ervations except interpretations. He
never stated what these should be.
All interest centers upon the con-
yention Though some Palmer leaders
claim the right to name the Georgia
delegates by virtue of rule of the
state executive committee. no law
yers or politicians in either camp
lake this claim seriously. The pre-
vailing opinion is that the convention
will be controlled by majority. not

Poindexter Will Get First Ballot

TACOMA, Wash, April "a (SpeciaD
On the eve Of the republican state
convention at Bellingham Tuesday
the presidential situation in the state
finds the supporters of Gen. Leonard
Wood in control for second choice.
Senator Poindexter will be the first
choice of the delegation. Poindexter
is now in the state. At county con-
ventions. including Spokane, his
home. held last Saturday delegates
present refused to adopt resolutions
instructing the state delegates for
Poindexter first, last and all the time.
This refusal to instruct for Poindex-
ter prevents any attempt being made
by the Poindexter supporters to use
their strength to swing the national
delegation into any other camp. This
is the fight of the Wood people and they
have apparently won.
The state convention will have a
strong Hoover delegation, approxima tely
30 per cent of the delegates being Hoo
yer supporters. A few Lowden and
Johnson delegates are named. The pre-
convention states, however. find the ma
tional delegates composed entirely Of
Wood people.
A feeling is growing among the pro-
fessional politicians that neither Wood
nor Lowden will CONTROL at Chicago and
that this states delegation should be
prepared to throw its entire support be-
hind Will H. Hays, ma tional. chairman.
