WOODS FATE At STAKE;
CRISIS IN CAMPAIGN
Some Candidates May be Eli mi
mated During This Busy Week
of Campaigners.

Chicago, Apri Republican Pres
iden,ial candidates are ut the real crisis
oi the campaign Tor delegates to the
Chicago convention. This week and the
next, by all the rules of politics, may
see any or al Of the active aspirants
ior the nomination eliminated, Such a
result of the flock Of direct primaries.
State and district conven ions TO be
held within til fortnight would prepare
the way for the much-discussed possi-
bility of dark horse ut the Coliseum
in June
1t il also possible that ONE one of
the contending candidates will make
such distinguished showing in the
election of the 4 delegates as to make
him most formidable contender, thus
tending To restrict the convention choice
TO one of the present avowed entrants
This week l46 delegates will be elected
and all but l3-these of Arkansas on
Tuesday Ohio, New Jersey and Mas
sachusetts go to direct primaries. Wash
ington, Idaho and Arkansas viii elect
1T State conventions.
General Wood has more at stake than
any other candidate He is in "a duel
with Senator Johnson for the 2S New
Jersey delegates. Senator Harding and
he nro fighting IL out for Ohio's iS. In
Massachusetts, il is showdown be-
tween General Wood striving for all Of
the 30, against q determination Of the
State leaders to have delegation unin-
structed, but presumably for Governor
Coolidge. Washington is conceded TO
Senator poindexter as. a ia oiite son;
Idaho seems to be in the grip OF Sen
ator Borah and probably for senator
Johnson, and Arkansas, friendly TO Low
den. will develop two contestlng delega-
tiOns
The next week will be even more thrill
ing politically, with johnson and Hoover
fighting TO the death for California, with
one of them certain to lose, and perhaps
permanently. and with Indiana staging a
political frce-for-all Al OF the headliners
will spend this week in the most spectac-
uar campaign probably ever fought out
IN battle-scarred iioosierdom

MAY LIMIT SUGAR MARGINS.
Department Of Justice TO Hold Conference
With Rcfners.

Washington, April % Margins of
profit on sugar, collected by both whole
salers and retailers, may be limited as a
result of a conference this week between
sugar refners and officials of the De-
partment of Justice.
The department will try 10 find out
exactly why sugar has risen in price to
2n or 25 cents pound retail, and some
times more, which is twice the WARTIME
figure. The department plans to act
under the antiprofteering clauses Of the
Lever act If evidences Of speculation and
proiiteering are found. The project of
limiting wholesalers 20 a cent pound
profit and retailers to two cents is under
consideration
The procedure would be 10 regard
profits in excess of these amounts as ex-
cessive and subject to action under the
Lever act
Attorney General Palmer will appear
later in The week before the House Judi
ciary Committee to answer questions re-
garding the sugar situation

the same States at the same time. More
than once they have spoken from the
same platform and they have talked in
variably along the same general lines.
The mind of Mr.. Owen seems to 90 along
very significantly with the mind of Mr.
Bryan
Leading Democrats, however, are con-
vinced that MIR. Bryan's arst choice for
the nomination is Mr.. Bryan. They
know that this was true back IN 1912
when he manmuvered with consummate
skill at Baltimore for deadlock which
would make him the inevitable choice of
the convention. He succeeded to the ex-
tent of eliminating Champ Clark and
Oscar Underwood and Judson Harmon
and Thomas r. Marshall, but he mis-
calculated when he threw himself into
the fight for Woodrow Wilson, In dom
that he started something that he could
not stop.
Most Democrats in Washington are
convinced that MIR. Bryan will play once
more for deadlock. They believe he
will seek TO tie the convention into "A
knot and once more will play for STAN
pede in his own behalf But these Demo
Gratis also are convinced that such
stampede is impossible. Bryan will never
be nominated, they contend, and once he
discovers that fact he Will throw himself
into a fight for some candidate whose
views coincide with his own.
In that event il is confidently believed
that Senator Owen will be raised from
the status of bush" league candidate
TO major league candidate. His friends
expect to see him emerge from the back
ground and play an important part IN
the proceedings, but the most enthus-
iastic of those friends quite understand
that 10 attract the necessary two-thirds
vote will involve a degree of magic rare
" ever exhibited in a national Conven-
ton
Whether he puts himself or Senator
Owen over, the fact will remain that
the veto power of Mr. Bryan is not to
be discounted. He need control only
one more than third of the delegates
in order TO defeat the candidacy of any
man in whom he does not believe and
IL tnay be assumed that he will play a
strong hand for that necessary one-t third.
