BICPATRONACE ROW IS, 81,
ON AMONG REPUBLICANS
(By United Press)

Washington, June 13.---Collection
Of "Promissary Notes." issued by
some enthusiastic politicians before,
during and after the republican con-
vention last June is causing trouble
in republican party circles.
These "Promissary Notes. were in
fact vague assurances OF federal jobs
They were not made in way to vio-
late the Federal Corrupt Practices
Act, but apparently many workers
took them to be good and are now
holding the makers for payment.
That, in substance, is the bottom
of the situation which was exempli-
fed in the quarrel between Senator
Frelinghuysen of New Jersey and At
torney General Daugherty over pat
ronage. n
As explained by republican polite
ians here, too many promisea were
made to too many persons. These
promises were mostly vague and were
born perhaps Of the enthusiasm Of the
moment. But now it develops that a
good many more folks have expecta-
lions than there are places.
Daugherty, as President Harding's
chief political advisor, has been more
on less in charge of the pie counter.
He has been of course in sole charge
of the many federal judgeships, dist
riot Attorneyships and United States
Marshalships which come under the
department of justice. He has in
some cases appointed men whose Sc
lection was great disappointment to
other republican politicians, who had
given other candidates assurances. .
After it become known that Ere
linghuysen and Daugherty had hot
words in Daugherty's office over New
Jersey patronage, many republican
members of congress began to discuss
their differences with Daugherty.

HOUSE TO VOTE ON
PORTER RESOLUTION
1t Is Thought Senate May
Insist on House Passing
Knox Resolution
(By United Press)

Washington. June 13.--Although
the house was scheduled to pass the
Porter peace resolution today, ad-
ministration officials contended that
the problem Of establishing relations
with Germany was still far from
solved. The house is to vote on the
Porter resolution which consists of
a declaration of peace late today. Its
passage Is assured. If the Porter res
olution is finally adopted, however,
the first difficulty arises in effecting
a settlement between the house and
senate. The senate passed the Knox
resolution which is much broader than
the Porter plan and some senator's
are expected to insist that the house
accept it. The house Republicans are
almost solidly resolved on the Porter
plan. Even when the peace resolu-
ton is put into a form acceptable to
both plans Of congress, and signed by
the president, it will have little more
than a psychological form, it is said,
in highest administration quarters.
There will still remain the questions
What should be done with the
American troops in Germany.
Whether separate treaty with
Germany is to be negotiated or
whether part of the treaty OF Yer
SALES is to be adopted.

gresham secured an appointment
with the president at 2 p. IN. to pro-

power to prevent such action" rep
resentative Newton of Minnesota
said.
Donald D. Conn representing the
northwestern lumber dealers said
farm organizatio ns and various bust

kota, member of the ways and means
committee would oppose some Of the
articles in the proposed tariff bill.

worth proposal which would have put
the new tariff rates into effect as
