He Had A Few Years Up His Sleeve.
The prisoners yesterday in criminal
court who received sentences were
many Of them very surprised. The
night before, a number OF guests in
the Jail were discussing the likelihood
Of Judge Lowe passing out very heavy
punishment for those who yet re-
manned unsentenced. "Aw.' said one

more years in his system. Well got

You never can tell about anything
in this world. The Judge did have

proved yesterday when he sentenced

A True story.

The night was very. dark following
n severe winter snow storm when
Mary came to Fairmont. Mary was
small and simply dressed. Her eyes
and hair were OF nondescript co.ov
perhaps But her voice was low and
sweet. She applied for room and
care at one of the hotels and not
many days afterwards wee son was
born to her. She had plenty OF mon
ey to pay for the attention she re-
quired and she told no one anything
about herself. How many times have
you followed closely through the pag
es of a novel-from the moment d

day when the baby, grown to man

nothing at all of his parentage. NAM

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Republi-
can primary results in Massachusetts,
Ohio and New Jersey have failed to
produce an overwhelming enthusiasm
for any of the leading candidates but
have merely aecentuated the funda-
inentai9 line of demarcation between
ultra radical and ultra conservative
thought III the party itself.
Analysis of the returns and the To-
calities from which the preference vote
was pollcd would seem to indicate that
he more or less conservative elements
in the Republican rank and file are di-
viding their votes between Major Cen
cral Wood, Senator Harding and Gov
ernor Lowden, while the middle -of the
road Republicans show an inclination
toward Herbert Hoover and the extreme
| radicals or the Progressives who hover
on the edge of the radicalism and pol
! icies of nationalism show a strong lik
| ing for Senator Johnson.
The substitution Of Wood for Hard
ing or Lowden or the nomination of
any of these three men would not mean
| the loss Of the following of the other
two. Their strength comes from pre-
| ciselv the same type of Republican vot-
| egs. 1t is interesting to note that all
| three favor the league of nations and
treaty with reservations, and their sup
porters include the regular Republican

rights of free speech and n free press.
But what IS unquestionably true is
that these elements have of their own
volition gone into the primaries to show
their gratitude to Hiram johnson. His
point of view on the treaty was taken
long before the opposition to the pact
became positive throughout the coun-
try. His pleas to return American sol
diers from Siberia which won johnson
so much appreciation on the part of rel
atives of the soldiers in Michigan was
a logical part of the johnson campaign
for national isolation.
Political leaders here seem to recog-
nize the sources of johnson strength
and respect them as a considerable fac
tor in Republican politics. They are
not as sine of the individual leanings
of voters on Wood, Lowden or Harding.
All three seem to draw from the same
large group Of, regular Republicans. In
deed, the Republican leaders are very
much elatedl. over the combined vote
given all Republican candidates as com
pared with the scattering votes in Dem
ocratic primaries everywhere. where the
contest as between McAdoo, Palmer,
Cox, or Hoover is just as much n free
for-all as the Republican contest
| With the knowledge that President
Wilson wants to make the treaty the
principle issue of the campaign, the
Republican primary results grow doubly
interesting. In Washington where from
the beginning the Republican party has
| been divided between 'irreconcilables
who wished to see the whole treaty and
league defeated and Ireservationists
| who wanted America to enter the
league and ratify the treaty, with dual
| flying conditions, the vote in the pri
maries is taken as conclusive evidence
| that Republican senators of both classes
We're not simply following their OWL
personal likes or dislikes but that the
rank and file of the party itself shows
!" lrreconcilables as we'll as 'treserva
tionists. - o.
Again therefore as President Wilson
forces the issue, the split between the
two wings of the party grows. Sen
atOr Hiram johnson s following appear
as uncompromising az their leader. Flu
sion on the treaty issue will be wei
