New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-06-05

Georgia. was extremely clear in his
presentation of the case to the com
mlttee the other day and it has been
privately considered for some days and
AZ printed in The Tribune, that the
committee would seat his delegation
This was clinched when the Lowdcn
people persuaded Johnson TO withdraw
As candidate for the national commit
tec and permit the selection Of white
man, thus otfsetting the point made by
the retiring national committeeman,
Henry s. Jackson, that to seat a negro
from Georgia on the Republican Ma
tional Committee would put the party
back fifty years in the South.
Wood Keeps Two Georgia Votes
Wood retains the two Georgia dele
gates who were instructed for HIM
and against whom there was no con
.est. Lowden Will get the fifteen rc-
naming But the Importance of Low
cen gains. IN the opinion of the ma
lOrlty of observers here. Is academic.
j. is not conceded. save inside the Low
cen camp that the Governor mas had
4 chance since Robert Moore and Ma.
Goldsteln went on the stand in Wash
lngion and admitted acceptance OF
money and deposit. of it in their per-
soNa accounts.
Curiously enough, so far as strength
q delegates is concerned, Lowden is
being hit now just where General
Wood suffered after the John 7. King
break back in January in Missouri.
II was Edward ". Foristcl, Of Mis-
souri,. VINO first gave the country,
through The Tribune. an accurate idea
OF just how much the break between
General Wood and John +. King had
by the old-timc political methods. 1t
WAS Foristei TINS time who decided
after hearing Of the Moore and Gold
stein disclosures, that the party could
not afford to nominate Lowdcn.
Lowden Men Confident
The Lowden men continue confident.
F. L. Morse, boss of the Sd District of
Missouri and Lowden manager for the
state, said that he had an emissary
seeing Foristel and John Schmoll- the
'wo most important delegates from
Mlssouri-to declare they could no long
er support Lowden, but would now go
50 Senator Knox, and had high hopes
che would listen to reason other
Lowden men said the public under
stood that the Governor did not know
anything about the giving of money to
such men as Moore and Goldstein, and
would not hold ii against him. AS to
INC delegates. the Lowden men say
they arc practical and understand that
campaigns cannot be made on a large
scale without large expenditures and
without some mistakes and some trip
ups.
Senator Sherman. of Illinois. put out
statement charging that the opposi-
ION TO Lowden in Chicago was CON
tinued to the Democratic press and rep
resentatives Of the Democratic party.
The more important leaders. how
ever. privately admit that the effect of
seating the Lowden delegation in
Georgia is not particularly going to
strengthen Lowden, but to keep fifteen
delegates away from Wood. The Ma
tlOnal Committee has been obviously
PRO Lowden from the beginning and
inst as obviously anti-Wood. The
committee, probably on the theory that
very few Of its members think Hiram
johnson has any chance, has preferred
to give the breaks even to Johnson
where he FLASHED with Wood rather
than to the general.
$ Sentiment has not clarified as to who
has the best chance if. General Wood
should be eliminated. There are CON
slant references to Sproul. Knox and
Henry J. Allen, with occasional, though
not very serious references. so far. to
Governor Coolidge, OF Massachusetts.
and Ex-Governor Charles +. Hughes, Of
New York.
Senator Poindexter. of Washington,
arrived to-day, but while he was en-
Enthusiastically greeted by his friends
and supporters there is no evidence
that the convention might turn to him
