Waterbury. Conn. June 6.-Fear-
ing a repetition of Thursdays riot
in Oakville, which was broken up by
troops in a -bayonet charge, the au-
thorities of Litchfield County have
taken steps to provide that section
with police protection. High Sheriff
Frank Huntington, OF Litchfield, has
sworn in a large force of deputies
and these. together with the coun-
tvs full quota of sheriffs, are guard
ing the factories in Oakville.
In the recent rioting the strikers
crossed over the Oakville line, thus
evading the jurisdiction of the Wa
terbury authorities. a barracks has
been fitted for the sheriffs who will
live there until the labor troubles
cease.
Copies of the strikers newspaper,
The Labor Leader, appearing on the
streets here, sold like wildfire.
Across the front page was a story
in bold type charging that the re-
cent bomb outrage at the home of
John H. Goss, millionaire manufac-
turer, was a frameup to discredit
the strikers and give their cause a

In striking at Congress. President
Wilson is believed to have taken
the offensive in a campaign that is

put the Republicans on the defensive

Literary Digest nationwide poll.
Strong Second Choice.
While results in the case OF the
three leaders in the Republican list
show Wood leading Johnson by ap-
proximately 14,500 and Hoover by
$1,000. the generals superiority in
second-choice votes is even greater.
The second-choice column gives
Wood the larger margins of $4,000
and 46.500.
In the face of his Republican
preferences, Hoover is overw whelm-
ingly in the lead of other candidates
in second choice votes from Demo-
cratic sources, who favor him to
the extent of more than $4,000 as
against less than 5000 for Wood

PARTY DEALS

Behind-Door Proceedings
At Chicago and Frisco
Interest Probers..
POSSESS FULL POWERS
Senate Investigators vii
Look Into Patronage
Promises and Trades.

Proceedings at Chicago and San
Francisco. now being conducted be-
hind closed doors. are to be brought
to light when the Senate committee
on campaign expenditures gets
back TO work in Washington next
month. Members of the committee
who left yesterday for the conven-
ton or their homes said that they
thought IL most important that tes-
timony should be obtained on the
pre-convention deals that often
make or break Presidential candi-
dates.'s
With the power granted by the
Senate as the final act of the second
session of the sixty-sixth Congress,
the committee will have full right
to inquire into matters political that
transpire up to the very day of the
election. Deals for delegates, prom
ises of patronage and other means
which have been useful in the past
are within the reach OF the commit
tees probe and undoubtedly the
Democrats win have no hesitancy
about operating on the Republican
deals and the Republicans. likewise
will be curious about affairs taking
place at San Francisco.
VIII Check Charges.
An aid to this phase OF the inves-
tigation certainly will come from
the howls of the disappointed candi-
dates and the managers. II this is
not so the creation of the committee
will at least have served its purpose
in eliminating the usual riot of
charges and counter charges that
emanate from the opening day of
the convention until the party is
once more harmonized after the
winner has been announced.
This year at both conventions,
members of the rival party will be
in attendance, in some instances In
the press section where they VIII
have an exceptional opportunity OF
observing the inner workings of the
convention and hearing the gossip
of how things were put over"
VIII Report in July.
According to the present plans OF
the committee the preconVentior
investigation will be completed and
a report made some time in July
The post-convention inquiry Will be
started then and concluded undoubt-
edly in time for a report that Will
be used as campaign material or
both sides in the close of the CAM
paign.

johnson Claims Generous.
From Senator Johnson's elaborate
and expensive headquarters, cover
ing the whole Michigan avenue
first floor front of the Auditorium
Hotel eminate claims OF sky-scraper
dimensions. 1t Is all over but the
shouting. bluster the Johnsonites,
and that there is to be stentorian
shouting is one of the few foregone
conclusions of an otherwise uncer-
tain and chaotic situation.
But where the 493 votes are going
to come from is a little detail upon
which the Johnson votaries are not
so ready with convincing informa-
tion. A story was put in eircula-
tion today that the Penrose- Knox
influence will be for Johnson when
he needs it. There was a supple
mentary tale that Johnson. despite
previous denials. was ready to take
second place with Knox. forming
conservative-radic ticket placat-
ing both East and West.
But tonight Johnson's people are
shouting that victory is within their
grasp. They will rehearse the Coli
scum stampede. such as college boys
practice roofing before a big foot
ball game. at their auditorium mass
meeting tomorrow night.
Harding Stili>Ia Ii.
Senator Harding's supporters are
by no means ready to accept a place
in the discard. They affect to be
very much among the cards to be
played with. One of their most CO.
gent arguments is that oGv. James
NJ. Cox, of Ohio. is morally certain"
to be either Presidential or Vive-
Presidential nominee on the Demo-
cratic ticket.
II pivotal Ohio, with its big vote
in the electoral college, is to be
saved for the G. o. r. in November.
Senator Harding's friends say that
he is an imperative necessity for
the Republican Presidential nomina-
tioon.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.


vcntion Is stampeded. how Mr..
Johnson can be nominated.
The convention will have a great
majority of regular conservative
Republicans in its membership and
IL they follow their prediction
and their calmer judgment and IL
they believe that the Republican
party should stand for something
in accordance with its previous his
tory they are likely to unite to pre-
vent the possibility OF Mr.. Johnson's
norination.
johnson TO Force Fighting.
1t is Mr.. Johnson's purposes, as
shown by his interviews and by his
militant presence at the convention
as a candidate, to force the fighting.
He is aware OF the opposition to
him, because of his radical proclivi-
ties, and he seeks to avoid that op-
position by creating an issue on
the question whether the party
should take its stand against the
league with the Lodge reservations,
as voted for by two-thirds of the
Republicans in the Senate, or should
support the bitter-enders and op-
pose any league at all.
In so doing he is demanding that
there be an unequivocal plank In
the Republican platform against
the league whether with or withour
reservations, and thus seeks to take
advantage of the unnatural alliance
between Senator's Borah, Norris
Gronna, La Toilette and himself on
the one hand, and ultTaconservative
Republicans like Senator's Knox
Brandegee. Penrose and others, or
the other hand. He brought about
the treaty fight in the Senate; he is
flushed with the victories in Call
fornia, Michigan and Nebraska, in
which, with the united support OF
the Sim Feiners, the Progressives
and the radical labor vote. who will
not support any other Republican
candidate, he showed his strength
in the primaries. He is naturally
a fighting leader and prefers an ear
ly. definite. clear-cut stand on an
issue.
Finds Humor In Ticket.
The suggestion OF a ticket with
Senator Knox as the Presidential
candidate and Senator Johnson as
the Vice Presidential candidate was
a humorous one. not because Sena-
tor Knox is not in the class from
which Presidential candidates may
properly be taken, but because the
suggestion was so utterly at vari-
ance with Senator Johnson's char
acter and purpose. He has no idea
of playing second fiddle. He pro-
poses by sheer force of audacious
leadership and through fear of
timid Republican delegates to make
the bitter-ender tail wag the Re-
publican deg.

Taft Urges Republicans
To Reject Johnson Stand
On Treaty for Lodge Plan

One may venture to doubt whether
such a plan will work successfully,
but one must concede the courage
with which IL Is being attempted.
The delegates in a Republican con-
vention have not ordinarily been
stampeded. The galleries of the ex..
position hall at Chicago have before
been filed with enthusiastic thou
sands, shouting till exhausted in IA
vor Of a candidate without the need
ed votes, while the body of delegates
remained unmoved in their seats.
Chicago is the home of Sim Fein,
pro German and radical enthusiasm,
and Senator Johnson's name and ap-
pearance in the convention will meet
with a gallery acclaim that might
effect less seasoned heads than the
present Republican delegates.
VIII Force His Hand.
What the Republican delegates.
however, should note Is that Senator
Johnson's canvass and implied de-
mand for his own selection as a
nominee Is not to be postponed un-
/ til the roll call for votes for candi-
dates. 1t will begin in the resolu-
tion committee and will be forced
upon the convention on adoption of
majority or, minority report
II Mr.. johnson carries out his an
nounced purpose the convention
must elect whether the Republican
party shall stand by the Senators In
favor of the league with the Lodge
reservations. or repudiate those
Senators and stand with the five
radicals masQuerading as Republic
ha
nine regular Republicans in oppo-
sition to the league altogether.
The most conclusive step to end
any danger of Mr.. Johnson's nomi-
nation is to stand with the majority
of the Republican Senator'S on the
league issue.
Mr.. Johnson has said he will not
bolt. but reasons for changing his
mind as thick as black berries can
I be found IL occasion requires. He
is now skilfully playing on fears
/ that he will bolt in spite of his
] declaration. Fear Of a bolt by Mr..
Johnson should not deter the con-
Republican Senatorial majority on
the league issue.
Need Not Fear holt.
II Mr.. johnson is not nominated
himself and a "Mr. Facing both
ways" resolution is adopted on the
| subject of the league, Mr.. johnson
! is just as likely to bolt as not. II
the convention takes the courageous
| stand in favor of the action of the
majority Republicans of the Senate.
Mr.. Johnson's bolt will not defeat
the Republican party. He will draw
! as many votes from the Democratic
party as he does from the Repub-
lican party.
The Republican candidate will be
supported not only by the regular
members of the Republican party,
/, but by many conservative Demo-
Gratis, disaffected toward the pres
ent administration. who will be
glad to seize the opportunity of
voting the Republican ticket to de-
feat a. schism which will include all
the uh-American groups-the Sinn
Feiners. the pro-Germans and the
vociferous radical elements of un-
rest.
Such victory by the Republican
party would give IL an opportunity
for constructive usefulness in the
administration to follow unham-
pered by the paralyzing party MEM
bership of Senator johnson, La Fol-
lette, Borah, Gronna and Norris. an
opportunity which, would mean much
for the welfare of the country.

1t is known that manufacturing plants,

investigating eagerly the cost and advan-
tage of using oil as fuel in place of coat.
The fleets Of the world and particularly
our own, have spectacularly blazed the
way that has led to now almost univer-

American railways are rapidly turning

'The Germans formerly made the bulk
