of the delegation to some candidate
other than Wood. Ruthless warfare
has sometimes its disadvantages to
the one who practices IL.
Michigan, having had no favorite
son to offer, was q fair field for all
the candidates. It was the one In
which the charges Of too great cam
paign expenditures brought against
Wood by Senators Johnson and
Borah should have had the most
hurtful effect.
Indeed, the Wood men themselves
looked with apprehension on this
issue, coming SO shortly as II did
after the Newberry revelations. But
the Democratic leader in the State
remarked to me cynically that, with
not a single straight Democratic
daily In the whole State the people
were not half informed as to what
the Newberry case really meant.
Certainly visitors who derived
their ideas OF this issue from the
comments upon II in practically the
whole press OF the country outside
OF Michigan stand amazed At the in
difference Of the people Of Michigan
to the whole affair. -

Wood. The same will be true Of
the Harding votes from Ohio or
elsewhere.
1t Is apparent, therefore. that the
Wood leaders have staked their all
on an immediate victory. Their
tactics are those of the Germans In
the late war, with the first ballot
for their River Marne. II their
strength Is not great enough to win
there, IL will be the trenches and
ultimate defeat for them.
This fact is clearly recognized by
the Wood general stan. But they
hold, again like the Germans, that
the policy of ruthlessness was forced
upon them, and Furthermore, that
by it they will win-even on the
first ballot.
Forced Into Offensive.
They were forced into the terri
tory of the favorite sons. according
to a long explanation given by one
of the principal managers at the
Wood national headquarters, by the
fact that the bosses-the Wood men
are very insistent on their denun-
citation of bosses, OF whom Frank
Hitchcock does not appear to be one
had formulated the plan Of put
ting up favorite sons wherever pos
sible in order to stack the conven-
tion against the general. To thwart
this conspiracy 1t was necessary to
beat the favorite sons. The prin-
cipal points Of attack are Harding
in Ohio and Lowden in Illinois
OF Indiana, having fed at
the very threat of war.
The Wood managers profess con-
fidence of victory in these two
and declare that IL they do
carry them they will nominate their
man on the first ballot. That IF"

4NcY ASTOR KEEPS
PARLIAMENT IN UPROAR
DURING "WET" SPEECH
Declares She is Not Working for
Prohibition, But Says u Am Ger
tain That Country is Ripe for
Drastic Drink Reforms

London, Feb. 24.-Lady Astor
made her maiden speech in Par
Lament tonight during the course OF
interesting debate on the subject
liquor control.
Sir John .Rees, Unionist for East
1 Nottingham, in a brilliant and witty
speech urged the removal OF the ex-
,sting war restrictions on the liquor
trade.
81 know that strong forces are ar
cayed against me-" he said, "and that
here is a rod in pickle for me. But
shall be prepared to kiss the rod
LADY, Astor followed Sir John, and,
although at first showed nervousness
she was soon speaking with confl-
>..deuce in a clear voice which rang
-hrough the house to large and
friendly audience.
Lady Astor supported control OF
the liquor traffic, for which she
pleaded strongly in the interests Of
the children.
81 am aware" she said, ''that this
country does not desire prohibition,
and I am not working for that. l am
certain that the country is ripe for
drastic drink reforms, and want to
see that the drink submarine does not
Torpedo the prime minister, and that
he is master of his own house."
Cheers and laughter greeted this
salley. Vigorously attacking Rees
and his supporters and accusing them
of constantly kicking" during the
past years against the drink control
board, she exclaimed amid cheers:
"What did they do during the
great war? Had they not pretty
.record?"
Lady Astor concluded with a fer
vent appeal for reform, saying drink
-.promises everything, but gives moth
ing and 1 beg the house not to look
upon me as either crank or a
Iunatic, because I am only trying to
speak for thousands of women a
hildren who can, not speak for them

She was warmly cheered on resun1-
I ing her seat, the members crowding
round and ccngratulating her.

HOOVER OPPOSES
TREATY ISSUE
Does Not Favor Covenant Topics in
Campaign.-Many Other Things.

Baltimore, Nd, Feb. 23.-Herbert
C. Hoover, former food administra-
Tor, declared today in an address at
Johns Hopkins university his opposl-
ton to making the ratification OF the
treaty with Germany an issue OF the
presidential campaign. He insisted
the injection Of the arguments tor
and against reservations would "ob-
scure our pressing domestic issues
by conflict over question IN which
the country already has made up its
mind,'' and added: "It is my impress
sion that there is no party credit IN
this position"
Hope for the immediate ratihca-
ton of the treaty rested, he said, in
the acceptance by "the lesser reser-
vationists'' of the proposals OF the
mild resevationists." The two COM
bined, he said, could secure ratiflca-
ton. at also appears to u.s. he con-
tinued, sthat even from the point OF
view of the lesser reservationists' y
they will have secured all of the ma
ior functions and values Of the
league. II it be put into being and II
it prove it's living value in the world,
no one can doubt that any necessary
changes will be granted to it by COM
mon consent as the years so on. For
my part, if the league can not prove
it's value under the latest proposals
of the mild reservationists,' it will
never prove them under the proposals
of the lesser resevationists. ,"
The present danger Europe is fac
ing, Mr.. Hoover said, is not SO much
a revolutionary cataclysm as the
STEADY degeneration Of the stand
ard of living and the slow decay of
the forces of stability" Restored
productivity, he insisted, is essential
if the allies are to receive the maxi
mum reparation. "Until then we shall
not have real peace" he said. lit
will be delayed as long as we hang
the treaty in the air, for we are
part of it.

She Has No Occupation.

From The Railroad Telegrapher.
She rises at the break Of day,
And through her tasks she races;
She cooks the meals as best she may,
And scrubs the children's faces,
While schoolbooks, lunches, ribbons,
too,
All need consideration;
And vet the census man insists
She has mo occupation.
When breakfast dishes all are done,
She bakes a pudding, maybe;
She cleans the rooms up one by one,
With one eye watching baby.
The mending pile she then attacks
By way of variation;
And yet the census man insists
She has "no occupation.
She irons for little while,
Then presses pants for daddy;
She welcomes with cherry smile
Returning lass and laddie.
4 hearty dinner next she cooks
(No time for relaXation);
And yet the census man insists
She has ''no occupation.
For lessons that the children learn
The evening scarce is ample.

For help with each example.
In grammar and geography
She finds her relaxation;;
And yet the census man insists
She has "no occupation"

BRITISH TOAST
FIRST PRESIDENT
Three Hundred Prominent Brieons
and Americans Assemble at
Mansion House Affair.

London, Feb. Z5.-lhree hunoreo
prominent Britians and Americans as
guests of the lord mayor OF London
this afternoon toasted Washington as
lone of the heroes Of the British
race" and acclaimed love of justice,
freedom, humanity and peace as COM
mon bonds uniting the two people.
The occasion was luncheon COM
snemorating the first American presl-
dents birthday anniversary and
marking the first of series of func-
lions in connection with the tercen-
senary of the Mayfower's sailing.
Viscount Brice, the former British
ambassador to the United States,
proposing the toast, Success to the
Nencentenary celebrations" said the
celebration would be celebrated in
America and Holland, and he hoped
II would be celebrated no 'less
heartily in England" He declared
shat the two nations must stand for
their common ideals in peace as they
have in war, and called attention to
the fact that ''the problems Of peace
are harder than those of war times"
Lord Burnham. in seconding this
atoast, affirmed what we need is un-
Fderstanding not only Of the eye and
mind. hut. above all, of the soul"
The Mayhower's manifest, he add
ed, represented the greatest cargo of
concentrated essence o. world
power IN the worlds history" He
declared that the reestablishment of
the old Washington home at Sui
grave manor would be the erection
Of "a temple to the future of man
kind"
The American ambassador, John
". Davis, in responding, said there
was no reason why Britons and Amer
} leans everywhere may not again re-
dedicate themselves to the perpetua-
lion of the ideals for which Wash
irgton stood. Of all the mad, mis-
guided men in the world today, de-
slared the ambassador, he IS most
mad and misguided who would cast
the apple of discord between the two
English speaking nations"
Lord Reading proposed "the
memory of Washington and the
friendship Of the British and Amer'-
can peoples" He characterized
Washington as 'the man who defeat
ed US and one of the, best men we
. ever produced"
The luncheon was presided over by
