 Wood is the candidate of the people and not of the politicians. His candi- dacy has been fought by political com binations and senatorial groups from the beginning. His campaign is being conducted by men who are not politi- clans. No money has been spent eX- cept within the strictest limits Of the state and national law and solely for the purpose stated"

 Of Procedure FUMES ATTORNEY
 OBJECTS AT COUNCIL Twenty Billion Is Value Put On Property by Roads
 Lawyer

WASHINGTON, March 22. - Rail road executives and employees differed widely before the interstate commerce commission today as to the methods to be employed in determining me Ioads' valuation on which an annual net return of five and one-half per cent is guaranteed for two years by the transportation act.
 Congress has made it imperative that an immediate valuation be made, A. P Thom, general counsei TOT the railroad executives said. Property in vestment accounts and material and supply accounts, he declared to be the minimum conservative figures now sus ceptible to use Data being gathered by the commission is incomplete, hhe said and should not be considered at present.
 Estimating at $2O.O00, ,0O0, ,O00 the val uation of the properties, MT. Thom de clared over-statements in she roads accounts filed with the commission would be more than offset by the rise in values in the last two years.
 Speaking for railroad employees, Don- aid R. Richberg, representing Glenn E. Plumb, author of the Plumb plan for railroad ownership, expressed sur prise that the executives and security owners should advocate a construction or the act mot as it is written, but as it would have been but for a miscon- ception."
 He said the interest of the employees in the railroads valuation lay in assur- ing return sufficient to provide op- erating expenses which could meet the reasonable wage requirements of the workers. He denied congress intend ed an immediate valuation should be made and called the property invest ment account evidence of minor i'm portance."
 Opposition to subdivision of the western classification groups of roads to form a southwestern subdivision for the purpose of the new rate adjust ment was vouched by MT. Bledsoe general counsel of the Santa Fe.

 General Woods managers not only owe it to their candidate, but still more to the party and the country to clear these charges in an unmistake- able way" Senator Borah declared in a statement.
 '"The use of money in elections has reached a point where the people will have to take hold of it. he said. Tt is nothing less than national peril that two months before the convention the use of money in the attempt to con trol the convention has reached the point of scandal.
 Talks of Corruption"
 That vast sum of money is being spent is perfectly apparent. I have seen letters from South Dakota, Vir- ginia and Illinois showing that the people generally are becoming very restless in the face of the apparent use of money for corrupt purposes.
 From what I have known of Gener- al Wood 1 would not suspect him for moment of doing the things himself that are charged against him, but it is not sufficient that he does not himself actually participate. He cannot be the recipient of favors of such nature without himself being responsible. hope General Wood will not permit this matter to go until it will become subject which others will have to take hold of"

WASHINGTON,M March % -- In the absence of any authoritative predic- tion of what President Wilson would do with the unratified treaty, the impression gained in" diplomatic circles today that the first step prob ably would be a notification to the other powers that the senate had refused ratification.
 Diplomats pointed out that such a notification could be given to clarify citations between the United States and othe rpowers, regardless of what decision the president might make later on the treaty's re-submission to the senate or negotiations of d sep arate treaty.
 IL was predicted in some quarters. that the president might combine a notification of the treaty's failure with an announcement of his future purpose, so that the nations that have ratified may be advised of what course they can expect developments to take.
 wat on WlSOn
 Senate leaders are understood to have been influenced partly by such a possibility in their decision to de- lay their action of declaration of peace. preferring to know what the president will do before going ahead Today there was some discussion of the peace declaration proposal in con ference, but it was predicted that It would not come up on the floor for two weeks or more.
 Opinion differed in senate and house. both of which would have to act on a peace resolution as to the form the declaration should take. Mild reservation Republicans have declared they would be adverse to in- cluding any statement of policy which would regard the treaty and the league of nations as dead. while Re publican irreconcilables want ques- tions of policy left out.
 In predicting a notification might be sent to the other powers of the senate's return of the treaty to the president, diplomats said that the case had taken a different aspect since the adverse ratification vote in November. Then the teraty was not sent back to the president and il was possible for him to preserve silence
