Drys May Rum W. I'll. Anderson
For Senate to Beat Wadsworth

Coincidently with an announcement
from Poughkecpsie that William
church Osborn, former chairman Of
inc democratic State Committee. is
TO be candidate for the nomination
as United States Senator on the Dam
ocratic ticket i'll the September pri-
mares was an announcement yester-
day, from the drys that William Fl.
anderson may be third ticket candi-
cate Tor United States Senator. Mr..
anderson is attending the Methodist
General Conference in Des Moines.
1T was learned yesterday that an i'm
Portant meeting composed Of infiu-
entail representatives of the prohibi
ton element in the Republican party
ana some OF the Prohibition party was
held a few days ago for the purpose
or prevailing upon Mr.. Anderson to
become candidate in the Republican
primaries for the nomination for
United States Senator against SEN
ator James w. Wadsworth jr.
Ih's Mr.. Anderson fatty refused to
do, on the ground that it is against
the policy Of the Anti Saloon League
for any of it's s>aff representatives to
become candidates for office. It was
next proposed to Mr.. Anderson that he
allow his name to be used as an indes
pendent candidate, petitions to be cir
culated at leisure, but not to be filed
in case either of the old parties nomi-
mates candidate for United States
Senator who is satisfactory to the pro-
hibition element, but to be filed
promptly If neither of the old parties
nominates an acceptable candidate.

McSween Says johnson
Won't Quit His Party
Prediction That He Will Bolt if
Defeated in Convention Is
Declared Absurd

Angus McSween. Eastern manager
for Senator Hiram w. Johnson, COM
menting yesterday on the attack made
William R. Hearst by Harry Chandler,
publisher of "The Los Angeles Times"
declared that Senator Johnson will not
bolt the Chicago convention, no matter
what the outcome may be. Mr.. Nc
Sween said:
"When Senator Johnson opened his
campaign three months ago he de-
clared in substance that whatever was
the outcome of the Chicago convention
the Republican party must continue in
harmonious agreement in order that
there should be no question of the
establishment of Republican Admins
tration. From time to time statements
have been issued by opponents Of
Senator Johnson the effect of which
might easily tend to destroy in the
party that very harmony for which
Senator Johnson has so strongly de-
clared.
The charge that he intends to bolt
the convention is so absurd and so un-
warranted that it should not be digni-
fed by any attention from US The
authors of it might say with just as
good basis that after the campaign
Senator johnson planned to go and rob
a bank. The campaign of vilitication
carried on against Senator Johnson is
likely to create feeling Of resentment
and bitterness which might be harmful
to the party after the nominations, are
made. 1t IS exactly in line with the
character of the attacks made against
Theodore Roosevelt in 1913 and con-
tinued through the intervening years
to 1916"

BOrah Suffers
Bad Beating in
Idaho Primary
Granted Place as One of Big
Four in State Delegation
by Wood Followers After
He Had Requested 1t
Wood Strong in Indiana
Holidays Declared When He
Visits Cities; Automobile
Crowds Follow ON Tour

Returns from Idaho reaching the
Eastern Wood headquarters at the Ho-
tel Imperial indicate that Senator
William E. Borah suffered a bad beat
ing in the primaries in his home state
this week and that his presence in the
Idaho delegation as one OF the big
Four" is solely on the sufferarce of the
Wood men under the leadership of
Henry H. Armstead, who, apparently,
beat Borah's men two to one in the
state convention.
AS the Eastern Wood headquarters
get it, the delegation stands six for
Wood, one unpledged, with Senator
Borah, ayowcdly for Senator johnson.
as the only ant-Wood man among
them.
1t is reported from Idaho that when
Senator Borah discovered he was
beaten he asked his successful oppo-
nent, Mr.. Armstead, for a place on the
delegation. The request was granted.
The anti Borah men say Mr.. Borah is
serving his last term as Senator. and
that Armstead will succeed him.
When Colonel Thomas w. Miller, as
slstant Eastern manager of the Wood
campaign, was asked about the defeat
OF borah last night he said:
"a United States Senator is a United
States Senator, filling an office that
should be respected. 1t is the policy
OF one element in the Wood manage
ment to avoid needless antaeonisms
There is another United States Senate
VINO was put on Wood delegation
because of his high office, although he
may vote for Senator Harding in the
Chicago convention. After the conven-
tion has picked a candidate Republi-
cans have all got to work together
against a common enemy"
1t IS understood that Senator Borah
has lost his grip on the home organiza-
ton because Of his long absences in
Washington. He admitted last fall he
had not been home in two years.
Outlook Bright in Indiana
Word came to the Eastern headouar-
ters yesterday that the Wood campaign
IN indianapolis received a decided
impetus this week on account Of the
eSuitS III ohlo, New Jersey, Idaho and
Washington. Indianapolis reports pre-
dict Wood will run first, Johnson sec
end. Lowden third and Harding fourth
in the primaries on Tuesday. Former
Governor W. Roscoe Stubs of Kansas,
who is campaigning in Indiana for
wood, in statement yesterday said:
THE election of General Wood at
this time not only will help reestablish
social order. industrial peace and COM
mercial prosperity in the United States.
New-York tribune., 1920-05-01

1t was urged upon Mr.. Anderson that
as such an independent candidate
could have no hope of election, he
could not be accused of really being
candidate for Office. 1t was frankly
avowcd that the purpose of such cand-
dacy was to offer candidate who
would command the votes of enough
dry Republicans to encompass the de-
feat OF Wadsworth. but who at the
same time would not vote for wet
Democrat. AS the conference was Just
before the time that Mr. Anderson had
to leave town, he sent letter to the
preachers of the state asking whether
they favor the plan Of having an inde-
pendent candidate for this purpose.
Ihe drys in the movement said yes,
terday that the entrance into the field
OF candidate acceptable to the League
OF Women Voters and the Anti-Saloon
League will make no difference in their
plan, because if the prohibition candi-
date wins in the primary Mr.. Anderson
Will not run against him in the cleo
tion. while if the prohibition candidate
is defeated in the primary, Anderson,
not having entered the primary him
self and not being bound by it., will
make a campaign merely as q matter of
principle, to enable the drys to register
their protest against Wadsworth or
any other wet candidate
None Of the drys seen yesterday COM
In the absence of Mr. Anderson it could
not be learned whether Mr.. Osborn
would be considered dry enough, as
compared with Senator Wadsworth, to
warrant the Anti-Saloon League in sup
porting him,

candidate, They Contend
Special Dispatch to Tho Tr;bu,.


PHILADELPHIA, April Ex-senator
Penrose, breaking his silence to-day on
Republican Presidential possibilities
declared for United States Senator
Philander c. Knox, his colleague from
this state.
The senior Senator made his declara-
ton after review and analysis OF the
primaries in various states. "The
primaries do not seem to have de-
veloped any paramount candidates" ;"
Senator Penrose said. "If we are to
be asked to take up candidate Of the
type of the Governor of Illinois we
have a right Immediately to turn in
Sproul.
MY own personal opinion, after con-
siderable reflection and without con-
sulting the principal party concerned or
any one else aud without any knowl-
edge as to whether he would take the
place, has recently persuaded me that
Senator Knox is the best equipped, all
around international statesman to meet
the requirements of the present situ-
alton who is available in public life.
while doubtless several other con-
didates could be nominated and elect
ed, | especially believe unanimity
could be secured on Senator Knox with
easy and facility"
Governor Sproul this afternoon con-
Cured in Penrose's Endorsement of SEN
ator Knox.
Senator Penrose tomorrow will be
visited by Will II. Hays, Republican ma
tional chairman, and possibly by Harry
M. Daugherty, one of Senator Hard
lng's campaign managers.
Senator Penrose believes the various
state primaries virtually have elm
mated the minor candidates for the Re-
publican nomination.
AS Senator Knox and Senator John
son are friendly, Penroses espousal of
the junior Pennsylvania Senator may
indicate a drift in the Republican ma
tional organization toward ticket with
Knox for President and Johnson for
Vice President.
Senator Penrose was asked his views
on what is said to be the California
Senator's radicalism.
From some points of view Senator
johnson IS 1 RADICAL he replied.

Appeal to Governor

The Merchants Association has writ

"The provision of local option as to
