Abusive Primary Adds
To- c. Q. p. Uncertainty
Same Old Doodle Charges, With Campaign Failing
At All To Clarity Situation In
Many States

time about equally between denounc-
ing the Doodle methods of Wood
and abusing the president for trying
to organize a League of Nations
WOOD mas devoted himself to deny
ing the Johnson charges, sidestep-
ping the League of Nations issue and
trying to show that, though an army
officer for 80 years he is not mill
tarist.
Taking the primaries as a whole
only a small percentage of the Re-
publican voters have taken the trou-
BILE to vote and none of the candi-
didates has secured anything ap-
preaching a nationwide endorsement
of his candidacy.
1t is probably we'll within the
facts to say that the primaries in
stead of clarifying the situation have
increased the uncertainty.
FREQ For Log Rolling
The great body of Republican vot-
ers have not imposed mandate on
the party managers and the latter
feel as free as they did before the
first primary was held to use the old
political methods in naming the par
ty candidate.
The situation as it stands today
offers a most interesting field for
speculation.
For example, here is a list which
contains the name of the man who
will be nominated at Chicago: Low
den. Hoover, Kenyon, Johnon,
Wood, Coolidge, Knox Allen.
1t will be noted that Harding's
name does not appear in the list.
Up to the time of the Ohio pri-
maries Harding was touted as the
choice of the "old guard" and his

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The
popular primary phase of the cam
paign for the Republican presidential
nomination is closed Even the most
enthusiastic exponent of the popular
primary idea will probably admit that,
judged by the results, its application
to presidential nominations has not
proven particularly gratifying.
Millions of dollars have been spent
and there has been an incalculable
amount of oratory. Half a dozen
so-called leading candidates for the
nomination have rushed wildly about
the country exhorting party workers
and voters. For the most part they
have devoted themselves to personal
abuse of each other. There has been
little if any serious discussion of the
great issues which face the country.
Same Old Buncombe.
1t is doubtful whether any consid-
cradle number of voters have any
clearer idea of the views of the
several candidates on these issues
than they had before the campaign
started.
Of the two most aggressive can
didates, Johnson has divided his

locked and that none of the candi-
dates with instructed delegates can
get majority.
He will be. the second choice of a
great many delegates who recognize
in him a man splendidly quallfed Tor
the presidential Office as well as one
with as great if not greater personal
following among non-political voters
than any of the candidates.
Many very keen politicians are ex-
pecting that there will be just such
deadlock as | have suggested and

used in connection with breaking 1t.
KENYON. as a close political and
personal friend of Johnson, will get
his chance if Johnson is unable to get
the nomination himself, but is strong
enough to dictate who shall have 1t.
Johnson has made such an aggress-
i've fight for delegates and has taken
such an extreme position against the
treaty and League of Nations that
while he will have more instructed
delegates than any candidate except
ing Wood and will be a powerful IN
fluence in the convention, his candl-
dacv has many elements of weak
ness.
Gives Wood Ballots.
Nevertheless Johnson's lighting
qualities may stand him in good stead
when the final test comes and 1t
would be a great mistake to dismiss
his candidacy with the suggestion
that it will not be permitted. II
would probably be more correct to
say that any one of several dark
horses" has as good or better chance
than he has.
Wood will have more Instructed
delegates than any other candidate
If Wood can show enough increasing
strength to make it formidable there
NAV be a rush by uninstructed dele
gates to get aboard his band wagon.
If the general cannot make the
grade by the fourth or fifth ballot,
he is done.

nomination was considered likely if
the "old guard" controlled the con-
vention. Harding is now definitely
out of it. 1t is hard to imagine a
combination of circumstances that
would rehabilitate his candidacy even
to the point of putting him into the
possibility class.
Knox takes Harding's place as
the "old guard" favorite.
Assuming control of the conven-
ton by Penrose, Lodge, Watson, ct
al. Knox might be named.
Because of KnOX's connection with
the Roosevelt administration, he
would probably be less Objectionable
to the progressive wing of the party
than any other man in the reaction
airy group.
Knox's Chances Slim
But the selection of any man
of this type would be such defiance
of the progressives that it is ex-
tremely unlikely to happen.
About the most that can be said
for Knox's chance is that if the "Old
guard can have its way and deter
mine to nominate a candidate to
its liking, without regard to pro
gressive protests, Knox will be the
man.
A progressive bolt would be less
likely to follow Knox's Nomination
than that of any other reactionary.
First, because of the Roosevelt con-
nection above stated, and second be-
cause Johnson and Knox are close
personal friends, although political
opposites. If there is to be bolt
Johnson is the only man who will
lead it.
Taking the others in the list in the
order in which they are set down.
Lowden is the likeliest heir to the
Wood delegates, if and when it de-
velops that Wood cannot be nominal
ed. The attempt to put Lowden over
would be made after four or five bal
lots have resulted in no choice.
The 'old guard would probably
be willing to give Lowden more or
less help and if he could muster
enough strength to get within hailing
distance of the majority necessary to
nominate, they might manipulate
things so as to clinch it and then
claim the credit.
Lowden occupies a strategic posi-
ton in the contest which is by no
means to be despised
Deadlock to Aid Hoover.
Hoover's great chance will come

onstrated that the convention is dead

 The session began by Mir French question NIT. Wheeler. beginning from Mr Wheelers frs; intimatiol of the strike and in answer to the questions Of the states attorney the witness outlined his actions from tina; time until the deportations. as he did on direct examination yesterday aft ernoon.
 1 The state began by asking why he had gone to Bisbee and the witness replied ne had gone in answer to q telegram from A. S Embree, strike leader and Capt. J. C Greenway. mine { operator. Before he left Tombstone, he said, he wrote out his reply and mailed it to the Bisbee Review so that ]; be clear to the public just how he would stand during the strike ] He considered this an answer to both Greenway and Enforce. he stated. AT. irving in Bisbee he was met by a committee Of citizens who rendered him offices in the Copper Queen dis pensary building. Questioned as 10 who these citizens were he said he did not remember the names, but hs knew some of them and that there were at least 10 or I2. Asked who was the leader of the crowd MT. Wheeler said he couldn't say. and as to whether i, was either Basset Wat kins or Miles Merrill, he said he did not think so. Questioned what he considered a state of subdued ex- citement which he found the distric. in, MT Wheeler said he considered t sort of apprehension.
 After that he said. he heard of disturbances, and as to whether the men making the disturbances remain ed long enough for him to arrive and arrest them. he stated they did not sconsider it policy to wait long enough for an officer to get there. He did not remember any names where dis turbances were committed, but visit ed eight or ten houses. where he was %called by housewives in answer to telephone advices of intimidation and threatened dynamiting if husbands did not cease work during the strike.
 Getting down to the question of the Loyalty Legaue. when asked by the county attorney, who composed lthe league, he replied that the loyal

HELL UT fheRt >
 The afternoon session of the Su- perior Court in the case against II. F.. Wootten charged wi;h Kidnapping as the result of the Bisbee deporta- tion, was featured by the completion of the cross-examination of Capt. Harry C. Wheeler. who had been on the stand since day before yesterday and the introduction of further testi- mony by the defense to show the conditions during the strike.
 Capt. Wheeler's cross-examination was completed after County Attorney French had questioned him as to Elm bree's threat to refuse tc further Tes- train his men, and which Wheeler said was when he definitely decided upon the deportation. A lengthy in- terroga;ion by the county attorney as 10 his attitude to tine II drafted men who were deported and who. when they returned to Bisbee to report were arrested and kept in jail until sent out to the army camps. The witness disclaimed any such know edge as connected with individuals, but remembered such actions acting as Chairman of the local draf. board

 Embree then criticized the manner in which the strikes in Michigan at Mesabs, Iron Range and in Utah were being conducted and that the Columbus camp was resenting the penny pinching tactics of the men in charge of the Salt Lake office. Dispositions showing the reason O, the Butte strike. were objected 10 by Mr French and temporarily exclude ] by the court as not proper evidence al this stage of the case. while let ter written by a man named Sulli- van to someone else was also eNclud- i ed as not having bearing on the ' Warren District. Another, document written by a man named German was also excluded on the grounds of objec- | ton by the state that it would throw no light on conditions of the Bisbee strike. but showed conditions at Col ! umbus. instead.

 He said Col. Hornbrook was with him when about a dozen Finnish woIn- en attacked workmen and pulling their shirts from their backs had poked breadcrumbs down the backs of the men.
 Testimony of Wheeier at the Em- bree trial at Tucson was read by the county attorney in an effort To ascertain what he had said at that trial. which lasted for a considerable time. and he said he considered the Enforce case only personal one, while the testimony before the Presi- dents Mediation committee was one concerning the whole district. He considered Embrees act of melting a riot, he said when Embree had sad at a meeting of the I. w. ". commit tee with the mayor and city marshal tha, he could not control his men. Embree told. him he said. about dy namite caches in the district.
 With reference to Wheeler's pro :, clanaiioa of July l2, in which he said he believed t:le strike was not a labor trouble but d plan tO em- barass the United States, the wit ness said in answer to what he ha1 meant: My government comes first and everything afterward. would sink the whole Warren district for my government.
 Questioned as to whether he thought the disturbance was strike or not. Wheeler replied that the | w. W. called it a strike, but he did not think so, the unions there had received orders from Gomprrs that < was not an authorized strike. Other small unions there may have been out on strike. he said. but he did not know it and they had no connection with the companies.
 Evidence from the Presidents me diation committee was about to 3e read by Mir. French when noon recess was called.
 The afternoon session of the Su- perior Court in the Wootton trial was q continuation of the cross-examina- ton Of Capt. Harry c. Wheeler by .he s:ate. which almost was complet- ed before evening recess and will be again taken up when court convenes tomorrow informing at 10 o'clock.
 The main feature of the cross-ex- animation was the attempt of the state to show conditions in the dis trict at the time or the strike and the deportation and the questioning was along the line of that followed out this morning.
 There was much detail during the examination which was in fact re- . iteration of the witnesses testimony this morning, with few exceptions, , while only once dur-ng the examina- : ton was the defendant Wootton's . name brought into it with reference 70 the strike conditions
