PENROSE TOTAKE
HAND IN CHOOSING
LEADER OF PARTY

CHICAGO, June 2.-Pennsylvania,
didates of it's own and a directing
force in the person of Senator Boies
Penrose, is expected to point the way
this week to some solution Of the
present tangle over the party nomi-
nees. s s..
Senator Penrose may or may not
come to Chicago finally, but in all
events he will be in direct touch by
wire with his lieutenants here and
is expected to speak out soon with
his recommendation for the national
ticket. His spokesman in Chicago
meantime are working to effect an
understanding whereby Senator John
son will get behind Senator Knox
for the nomination if Senator John
son himself cannot win.
Senator Penrose has at least two
cards up his sleeve-Senator Knox
and Governor Sproul. He has de-
clared that if the convention were
to nominate a man of the Lowden
type, sit might as well name Sproul."
Knox would be "the man best fitted
for the office"
It appears likely, therefore, that
Senator Penrose, when, and if SEN
ator Johnson and General Wood are
eliminated from possible nomination,
will enter Senator Knox or Governor
Sproul, or possibly both before he
-
den.
He feels, if the attitude Of his
lieutenants here is any Indication,
that Senator Johnson must be fig
ured with in determining finally the
nominee. Senators Johnson and Knox
are great friends and Senator John
son has recently held a long confer
ence with Governor Sproul. Sena-
tor Johnson will be in Chicago
Thursday and Immediately open Ip
tremendous last-minute campaign
for the nomination. He will make
at least one very important speech
His arrival, coupled with either the
arrival or the direct wire action of
Senator Penrose through his lieu
tenants here, will mark the opening
of negotiations that should in large
measure determine the party's final
choice.
One thing is certain and that is
that Senator Johnson will be as
sured fair fight for his objective.
Then, if he fails to land the nomi-
nation, he will be expected to fall
in line and help put over some one
else.
The gossip along presidential row
still favors the chances of Governor
Lowden. And while the various
deals and commercials are under
way between the supporters Of the
respective candidates, there appears
to be less and less talk among the
political leaders that General Wood
will win. 'Lowden or Knox" has be-
come slogan with something of an
air of finality about it that has had
a psychological effect on the poll
ticians here assembled.

INJDIANA'S PLANK
ONLEAGUEF FACES
BOTH WAYS---TAFT
BY w1Lz-AM HOWARD TAFT

BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal
The Indiana resolution on the SUBJ
iect of the league is a plank dear
to the heart of Mr.. Facing Both
Ways 1t puts the party in opposi-
tion to the treaty as presented by
the president to the senate, and it
conmends the Republican senators
for opposing that treaty. 1t does
not commend the majority of Repub-
licans IN the senate for voting for
the league with the Lodge reser-
vations, and it does not commend
the bitter-enders. 1t leaves unde-
cided the issue between them. It
accords them both freedom to act
in the same way in which they act
ed before; it does not restrict the
nominee in the course he may take.
1t is a weak and tiInid conSumma-
tion made possible by the fact that
the opponents Of an administra ton
do not need to be agreed on their
basis of opposition, and may post
pone the settlement of differences
between them until they must as
sumo the responsibility for action.
Such an attitude should embarass
Mr.. Lodge in his opening speech to
the convention, because by his
course for months he has approved
to such an extent that the reserva-
lions bear his name, the policy Of
entering the league with, those res
erVations. 1t will embarass the
nominee of the convention. because
he will constantly during the cam
paign be. presented with the query
whether he favors the league with
reservations or opposes it altogether.
1t is a shifting of the responsible
ity of the party representatives in
the convention to other shoulders,
with the hope that with platform
Facing Both Ways, the party may
retain the support not only of it's
sincere and loyal members who ap-
prove the action of Mr.. Lodge and
his associates but may secure the
support of the Sim Feiners, the
pro-Germans and Others who sup
port the bitter-ehders,
1t is neither a courageous nor
a wise thing to do. but the trend
toward Republican victory is SO
strong that the result may seem to
be for a time a vindication of the
be met after the fourth Of March
when President Wilson will lose his
power to hold up ratificat ton until
he can have his favorite Article x
unim paired. His successor will then
face the necessity for comprehen-
sive and satisfactory peace. The
Versailles treaty will still be avail
able, and we may reasonably count
on enough Republicans and Demo-
Gratis to do what ought to have been
done in November last and would
have been done then, had Mr.. Will
son not prevented it. /

Commerce of the United States In
its formative period. After it's mem

needed a sustaining fund, but with
out such fund it likely would have
failed.

PRICE FIXING.

According to the federal bureau of mines,
which is the highest authority on the subject,
the production of gasoline increased twelve per
cent. during the first six months Of 1920, while
the increase in consumption was thirty two per
cent. Unless this condition is cured by increas-
ed production, the law Of supply and demand
will cure it by climbing prices which decrease
consumption. AS the cost rises, the pleasure
riders will drop out one by one as their limit is
reached leaving more of the commodity to
users who make it pay, as with busses and
trucks.
AS all commodities are subject to the same
law, we can see the futility of price-fixing by
governments by considering the effect Of at
tempts to fix the price of gasoline If fixed be-
low the cost Of production, it's output would
cease. Ii fixed where it is today, men who must
have it would lay in big stocks, leaving others
to get it when and where they could or 90 with
