QUESTION OF FEALTY
By WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT


Dallas, Texas, April 25.-The
strength of Senator Johnson in
certers where the pro-Germans,
the Sim Feiners, the radical la
Dor men, Non-Partisan Leaguers
and Socialists are strong, while it
may not frighten leaders of the
Republican party, because they
still regard Johnson's nomination
as impossible, does disturb them.
1t has the effect to heighten
their interest in the California
fight between Mr.. Johnson and
Mr.. Hoover. They would be much
pleased if Mr.. Hoover were to
beat Mr.. Johnson in California.
For None But johnson.
This is because it would greatly
minimize the Iatter's influence in
respect to the party platform and
the danger to the Republican ticket
which his possible boiling the Re-
publican ticket and running as an
independent candidate would cre-
ate.
1t would show that he does not
control California as he has in the
past.
1t would prove that his strength
now comes largely from elements
that would not support any candi-,
date but himself on the Republican
ticket. and that his independent
candidacy at the head of a pro-
German, Sim Fein and laborite
Non-Partisan League ticket would
weaken not the Republicans. but
the Democrats.
Indeed, this might follow even
though he were to nose in" ahead
of Mr.. Hoover in the California
primaries. He has on his ticket Of

pUblicans. who merely went on the
ticket agreeing to support Mr.

1t is difficult to imagine Mr..

Disquieting to Democrats.

Disquieting to Democrats.
This is naturally somewhat dis
quieting to the leaders of a party
that four years ago carried the
State for its Presidential candi-
date. The explanation, however,
is simple enough. Both Repub-
lican candidates for the Presiden-
,tial nomination are of a sort that
appeals to independent voters.
The support of each transcends
party lines. So Democrats de-
string to vote for either Hoover
or Johnson have simply declared
themselves Republicans for pur-
poses of the primary. The dec
laratiqn is not binding upon them
in their subsequent votes in the
regular election. As a matter of
fact, it was unnecessary in the
primary, as the attorney general
has ruled that a man may vote
for any candidate, regardless of
his party affiliations.
That ruling, however, was not
made until after registration
closed and the voters had al
ready taken their precautions.
Hey fAty wnI vote.
The question now arises as to
where the majority Of these cam
ouflaged Democrats, votes will 60 in

DIR. BOWLING SUED FOR DAMAGES AND
 PLACED UNDER BOND

Two suits were filed in the circuit and Dora Glass against Dr. J. D. Dow ling. county and city health officer, claiming damages. These suits grew out of the alleged detention of the plaintiffs. The suits are similar.
 It is alleged in the complaint that on August 16 1920, the defendant did un- lawfully incarcerate, confine and keep the plaintiffs confined in a jail in the city of Birmingham until August 2 against their will and without the con sent of the plaintiffs, and without having been legally committed to the keeping and custody of the said house of deten- tion.
 This, it is alleged, is in violation of the provisions of an act of the legislature of Alabama, approved September 30, 19la, entitled: An act to prohibit involuntary servitude of forcible detention in public or private hospitals reformatories. houses of detention, convents, asylums, sectarian seminaries. schools or institu- tions, and providing penalties therefor.
 Plaintiffs alleged that by reason and as proximate consequence of their said unlawful incarceration they were caused to undergo and submit to great physical inconvenience, mental anguish and hu- initiation.
 Warrants were sworn out for the ar rest of Dr, Bowling by these women yesterday morning in Judge Abernathy $ division of the circuit court. The war rants charge violation of the above-men- toned section. Bond in each case was fixed at 500. which was made by pr. Bowling.

 In order that justice may be

 recommend that the operators ar
 range to meet with the representa-
 tives of the miners of this dis
 trict and to put into effect the
 award herein to the end that in

 This recommendation clearly and definitely states that the representa- tives of both mine workers and opera tors of this district were to meet in 'onference and write into an agree nent the award of the coal commission md settle all questions at issue to he end that industrial peace and ranquillity may prevail.
 Acting upon that recommendation n we issued an invitation to the opera = ors under date of March ], 1920. nearly hirty days before the eXpra ton of he Garfield agreement, for q joint con 'erence for the purpose of amicably nd peaceably negotiating d contract md settling all questions at issue be- ween the mine workers and the opera OTIS of this district as presented by he mine workers representatives to he coal commission. The operators gnored this invitation and refused 60 enter conference or to enter into any negotiations whatsoever looking to- ward the negotiation of a new con- tract.
 The representatives of the mine workers then called a special conven- ion to convene on April 15, 1920, for he purpose of considering the situa- ion and of outlining a policy and pro- sramme to be followed by the mine workers of the district. At this con- vention local demands were formulated IS a contract and working agreement to be presented by the mine commit. -ees to their respective employees for their signatures. This proposition was purely local in character. It was very considerably modified from the origi- nal demands presented by the mine workers representatives to the coal commission, in the hope of effecting a peaceable and amicable settlement be- tween the mine workers and operators of this district. Some fifty contracts have been signed locally between the mine workers and their respective op- SrdtOrS Tn the OlStflct, put the great lulk of the operators of Alabama have Ignored and refused to consider this proposition, known as the Blue Book, until today there are some six or seven thousand miners on strike In the dis trict.
