With Speech Urging Return
To AmericaniSm.

NEW YORK. March 30.-United
states Senator Hiram w. Johnson
was gyeeted by cheering thousands
iasPnight when he opened his Greater
yw York Presidential campaign at
Cooper Union.
Standing upon the spot on which
Abraham Lincoln stood sixty years
ago, the California Senator enthused
his hearers by an old-fashioned 100
per cent American appeal for free
speech and the right OF peaceable
assembly.
The Senator provoked most APP
plause when he assaulted the Wilson
League OF Nations covenant, and
pointed out what abhorrent results
would follow its application 10 Rus
STA and other countries where the
people are still nghting for the right
OF selfgoverpment.

dent and that he will be placed in
nomination for that Nigh office at the
San Francisco convention.
The former Senator has been on a
speaking tour in New England. He
is convinced that on a treaty issue
President Wilson is the logical choice
OF his party for the Presidency. He
sizes up the situation this way:

BORAH CHALLENGES
WOOD ON EXPENSES

Gen. Leonard Wood was challenged
Yesterday by Senator Borah, Republi-
can, OF Idaho, to meet in a statement
over his signature Borah's charges OF
the lavish use OF money by Woods
campaign managers in South Dakota
and other States.
In q telegram he sent to Wood,
Borah inquired:
Are you willing to give the people
OF Michigan and other States a list of
your subscribers. the amount you are
expanding, and the amount which you
propose to expend, for instance, in
Ohio and Illinois?"
Borah's message to Wood read:
Press dispatches state you claim
the attack upon you was to sway the
voters of Michigan. You are in part
correct. 1t was intended to sway the
voters not only in Michigan but in
the United states. I know OF no
other tribunal to which to appeal to
correct these practices. But it can
only be effective provided the facts
/ state are correct. 1t is within your
power to put the facts before the
people.
Are you willing TO give the peo-
pie of Michigan and other States
list OF your subscrrrers, the amount
you are expanding, the amount which
you did expend in South Dakota, the
amount which you propose to expend
for instance in Ohio and Illinosi3 IL
you will make a statement OF these
facts over yoru signature I will cor
rect any erroneous statements which
have heretofore made The ma
terial which is coming from South
Dakota, Illinois and Ohio convinces
me that / was modest in my state
ments.
General Wood, IL you are not ia
miliar with what is going on on
your behalf for the Presidency. l take
leave to assert that unless you IA
miliarize yourself and correct IL, You
will bring disgrace upon your name
upon your party, and upon your coun-
try. IT Is UP to you as soldier and
as n man to come out boldly and meet
these facts and either show the public
that they are unfounded or else re-
pudiste the men who have manifested
their determination TO control The ma
tionsl convention through the use OF
money.

About Valuations.

Henry c. Tyrrell, appraiser engineer
for the salvage board of the ordnance
department. explains some phases of

regarding government expenditures
at several war plants
He points out that the testimony
given by him was not in criticism"
bu- was recital of facts made at the
request of the House committee, COW
ering briefly the valuations made of
these properties under his direction
He explains that the $4,000, 900 cost
of the plant at Toledo was not the
governments estimated cost" as sew
eral times stated in published reports
but rather the governments report ed
cost"
Mr.. Tyrrell says that published
statements that the salvage board
kept him waiting thirty days, ETC. are
incorrect. What my testimony did
state" he says, was that, after COM
pleting my report on the Toledo plant.
/ returned to Washington and held
myself in readiness for more than
thirty days. expecting to proceed with
similar Investigations of other plans,
as previously agreed upon with the
salvage board"
Continuing, Mr.. Tyrrell says: MY
testimony in reference to excessive
cost of war plants due to the idle
ness of workmen was based upon my
experience and observations at other
war plants. and did not refer espe-
| ledo and Cincinnati. on which active
construction had ceased before my in
