Money Charges
Senator's Capital Friends
Will Renew Their Efforts
to Bring Discredit ON
Gen. Woods Campaign
Borah Will Bring Up Bill
Accusation of Huge Slush
Funds in Maryland, New
Jersey, ,IndianaTo Be Made

From Thc Trfbune's Washington bureau
WASHINGTON, May 5. Elated at
the result in California, but dsap-
pointed at the failure of Senator Hiram
w. johnson to sweep Indiana in yes
terday's Presidential primary elections,
Senator Johnson's friends here to-day
decided to renew their efforts to dis
credit the campaign of General Leon
ard Wood.
The charges that enormous sums have
been expended and are being spent to
further General Woods candidacy will
be revived, and a demand will be made
that the Senate Investigate without de
lay the expenditures of all candidates
for the Presidential nominations.
Senator Johnson, who returned to
Washington late tonight, has not been
consulted about the plans of his friends.
Plans to Call Up Bill
Senator Borah, of Idaho, Senator
Johnson's chief supporter in the SEN
ate, announced he would call up his bill
providing for an investigation Of pre-.
convention campaign expenditures
within the next two or three days. SEN
ator Borah will talk with Senator
johnson tomorrow and later he will
confer with Senator'S Kenyon, Of Iowa :;
Norris, of Nebraska, and the other
johnson followers in the Senate, re-
garding plans for pushing his bill and
for conducting the investigation.
Senator Borah charged on the floor
Of the Senate shortly before the cleo
ton in Michigan that enormous sums
were being spent in many states by the
Wood forces. He offered his bill then,
bringing candidates for Presidential
nominations under the corrupt prac.
tees act
The Johnson followers in the Senate
are preparing now to charge that huge
"slush funds" were used in behalf Of
General Wood in Maryland. New Jer.
sey and Indiana.
BOrah Withdraws
Senator Borah to-day retired as q
candidate for either temporary or per
manent chairman of the Chicago CON
vention, explaining he would not be in
q position to preside over the conven-
ton because of his activities against
the candidacy of General Wood.
The group Of Progressive Senators
who put Senator Borah forward as
their candidate for the temporary or
permanent craftsmanship have with
drawn their opposition to the selection

Split Delegation Likely

gates have the option of voting to send
instructed or uninstructed the thirty
delegates to the national convention.
Split Delegation Likely
The Wood managers expect to retain
their headquarters here until after the
state convention, to push their fight for
instructed delegates in favor of the
general. They assert that his plural
ity entities him, as the peoples choice,
to the vote of the entire delegation, or
at least to the four votes at-large and
the eighteen from the nine districts in
which he received plurality. On the
other hand, since 1T is up to the sepa-
rate districts to elect their two dele
gates to the national convention, it was
said here tonight that these Johnson
districts would insist on two men from
each of the four districts which he
carried, thereby splitting the delega-
tion up with eight votes for the Cali
fornian.
II this program Is carried out, the
first Indiana ballot will be % for Wood
and for Johnson. To offset such an ar
rangement, the Lowden and Harding
forces also expect to retain their head
quarters in this city until after the
State Convention and pull every string
possible for an uninstructed delegation
Of thirty. The latter forces believe
in strict Interpretation of the pri-
mary law, making it necessary to re-
ceive majority of the votes to have
the delegates instructed.
Uninstructed Plan Waged
Another plan which is being consid-
cred is to send the thirty delegates to
Chicago uninstructed, but with the
understanding that on the first ballot
mi TO
a complimentary vote for his having
carried the state by plurality. 1t was
thought by those in close touch with
the situation that the johnson sup
porters might agree with such an
arrangement, but with an understand
ing that they might express the senti-
ment of their respective districts fol-
lowing the initial vote.
Members Of Indiana's "big four"
to be selected at the state convention,
in all likelihood, will be Senator James
r, Watson, Senator Harry S. New
Governor James P. Goodrich and Ed
mund m Wahmuth, Republican sta
chairman. It is known that all four
Of these are strongly in favor of hav-
ing the delegation sent uninstructed.
Fewer complete county returns had
been made in the two contests for the
gubernatorial nomination, Democratic
and Republican, as interest seemed to
lag when it became practically as
sured that Warren T. McCray, Of Kent
land, would be the Republican nominee
and DR.. Carlton McCulloch the selec-

turns I nan in from Sill precincts of the
1887 in the state, showing that Cen
eral Wood has carried Indiana over
Senator Hiram W. Johnson. of Cali

VINCENT and SCHUYLER
ENTERTAIN CITIZENS

The initial politi'a' meeting of the
sea>en fer Glenwood Nas held W iGes
day evening at the Odeon, ut which
time Merle D. Vincent, candidate for
congressman from this district, aud
Karl G. Schuyler Of Denver, recent
car didate tor nomination for U. ..
senator were the speakers Of the even-
ing.
W. 8. Parkison, chairman OF the
county central committee, called tho
meeting to order and introduced Claude
Rees as the chairman of the evening,
and Mr.. Rees proved himself quite
equal to such task.
Mr.. Vincent was the first speaker,
and while he spoke in friendly way
of his opponent, Hon. E. T. Taylor Of
this city, he said the question was
political one and not one Of friendship
or personal feeling. He clearly showed
the Importance Of having from this
district Republican who would be
able TO secure the benefits through a
Republican congress which the district
deserves and in which it has long
stood in need. Mr.. Vincent was re-
,eived in s. manner that clearly inli-
Gated that HIS words were having a
most favorable effect ON his audience.
Mr.. Schuyler was then introduced,
and after a facetious remark about
himself az .ormer candidate for a
Ligh cIira the sneaker presented a
most convincing argument against. t:-e
adoption by this alton of Mr.. vii
sons fvorite hobby, the League Of
Nations, now being sponsored by Mr..
,,oX, Mr.. Wilson 3 would-be successor.
The audience listened with rapt at
tention to Mr.. Schuyler's splendid ar
gument, and accorded him much ap
plause throughout his address.
Before dismissing the audience Mr.
Rees, in = few well chosen remarks
called the attention of the voters to
lis candidacy for representative from
this district. and in doing so he made
g most favorable impression.

You were sent QUESTIONABLE ssv-

pied and evidently took considerable
pains in doing so. A great many of
you have not returned these and it Is
to you that this lis addressed. Will
you please ask yourself the question:
DO 1 not owe it to my child, II ~
schools and to those whom l hold re-
sponsible for their conduct to take
every opportunity presented to ME to
assist in making our schools more of
ficienta Is it not fact that you
have some suggestions or criticisms
that you believe would be helpful if
acted uponf Is it not fact hat you
have at sometime, maybe within the
present school year, made your sug-
gestion or criticism to your neighbor,
friend or acquaintance, If this is the
case, no one stands much chance to
profit from them. Whereas, if you
would let us have them by filling out
the blank and sending it in, there
would be some chance of your re-
marks serving real benefit to tho
children and the schools. Can you at

can, on behalf of the institution in
your community that, save the home
alone, is the most potent factor in

Of the children Of our community, +,
Even though you may have nothing
very definite in mind in the way of
suggestions, the very fact that you do
not take the time and manifest the
interest that would he implied in fill

opportunity and discouraging to chill

can answer the questions, if no more,
as some have already done.
This may occur to you as a small
matter, but it is neveatheless very
important one, SO much so that we
feel Justified in urging you to re-

Go now and get the QUESTIONABLE and
