Mayor Smith Won't
Back Hoover Until
He Explains Views

Mayor Smith is not ready to in
dorse Herbert Hoover as presi-
Dental candidate. He believes Mr..
Hoover should announce himself
on public questions before being
seriously considered. \
In reply 70 query from the New
York World the mayor yesterday
addressed the following telegram:
"The World, New York City, N.
Y.--Before Herbert c. Hoover is
endorsed as presidential candidate,
the public should be advised Of his
position OIL ratification OF treaty
with league of nations covenant;
his views concerning ownership or
control Of railroads; his attitude to-
ward labor, and his views on proper
method OF settling labor controver-
sizes and other vital matters affect
ing the welfare and prosperity Of
our country.-Ed. P. Smith, Mayor
of Omaha, Neb."

Gompers and the radical new party

Gompers and the radical new party
idea of Fitzpatrick.
For the whole labor movement in
America is now, as never before, in
plastic or fluid state. II the Ole
parties, on the other hand, exhibit
no vision of the needs of the new
time. or if they make insincere pro.
posals-as they have so often done
IN the past--to catch the labor vote
then the drift to . new radical party
movement (whether based upon this
Chicago labor party or some other
will be swift and sure. The war
has made profound impression
upon labor-here and in Europe
and old party leaders who think tina,
labor is going back quietly to its
old-time status are doomed to dis
appointment.
As the irreconcilables view the
situation, the democrats cannot af-
ford to agree to ratification upon
mere verbal changes, considering
the stand they have taken and the
announcements of the president
against the acceptance Of the Lodge
reservations.
See Death Of Treaty.
Unless therefore, "the ground is
cut from under the democrats" by
an announcement of the allied gov
ernments OF their willingness to
take the treaty with the Lodge res
ervations, the irreeoncilables believe
the treaty cannot be resurrected.
For the allied governments Off
cially to express their. willingness
to accept the ratification of the
treaty by the United States with the
reservations only slightly amended
would be a sad blow to President
Wilson. II would put him in the
position Of having misunderstood
the attitude Of the allies and, through
his misunderstanding, misrepresent-
ing the situation to the American
people on his speaking tour of the
country to urge ratification.
1t may be that consideration for
President Wilson's feelings may i'll
duce the allies to withhold the
statement which, it is understood
here, Lord Grey returned home pre-
pared to advise. But on the other
hand, they may conclude that they
cannot afford to put consideration
for President Wilson's feelings
above their own interests. Their
own interests unquestionably are be-
ing seriously affected by the failure
Omaha daily bee., 1920-01-28
of the United States to ratify the
treaty.
Many Matters Pend.

Many important matters which
ought to be taken up without delay
are being held up pending the de-
cison as to the participation or non
participation of the United States.
One Of these important matters is
the appointment of the commission
for governing the Saar district. The
delay over the naming of this COM
mission is irritating to the French.
There was much interest here to-
day in the cable announcement that
in his communication a fortnight
ago stating the conditions under
which he would agree to eonvoke
the first meeting Of the council OF
the league Of nations, President
Wilson had formulated demands
which were regarded by the allies as
tieing their hands.
If the president has imposed upon
them any conditions which they
deem to be hampering, the allies
may feel that some announcement
by them which will bring a definite
decision on the treaty from the SEN
ate NAV be necessary.

Stockmen Opposed To Hoover
AS A Presidential Candidate

A large number of farmers and stock
men throughout the country, and es-
pecially in the west and middle west,
are opposed to Herbert Hoover as a
presidential candidate, to judge from
articles appearing in several of our ex-
changes. The former food dictator urged
that everything possible be done during
the war in the way Of feeding livestock
and producing meat, as the government
would be in sore need Of all meat that the
farmers and stockmeh could possibly
produce. AS a result Of Hooyer's plea,
and realizing their patriotic duty to
come to the aid Of the government, all
farmers and stockmen who could do 50,
bought feeders at a very high price and
commenced turning them into prime

Looks Same as Others.
As a presidential possibility, Mr..
Hoover looks to us just the same as
Kenyon, Kendrick, Anderson, Gronna,
Palmer, Colver, Tomlinson, Ed. Burke,
Ed. Lasater, Henry Wallace, and a few
other patriots-for-proft that might be
mentioned. Mr.. Hoover once declared
himself upon the matter of the packer
and his relation to meat rations. In his
declaration this Hoover boy did just.
exactly what all the above named
patriots, and a few others, have done,
'to-wit: Sized up the ultimate consumer
numerically, and found that there were
some three or four ultimate votes among
the consumers to one among the produc-
ers. For this reason the burden Of this
packer persecution and control stuff has
been played, from the patriot on the
hunt Of political favor, to the consumer,
instead Of the producer. AS Mr.. Matt.
