Real Test to Come With Re-
turns From Some of
Primary States.
A FIGHTING MAN
Ex-treasurer Refuses to Lie
Down and Let the Dogs
Lick Him.

Washington, d. G., March 4. -
Washington political observers are
keenly on the alert for some indica-
ton which will show how "the I'M
washed and unterrified Democracy"
views the generation of William G..
McAdoo by w. G.. McAdoo, ct al, and
his determination to leave his hat in
the ring. Reports received thus far
are SO conflicting as TO be valueless.
The real test, it is felt here, will not
come until the returns are received
for some of the presidential primary
states, such as Georgia, where Mr.. Nc
Adoo heretofore has been looked upon
as the outstanding contender.
While Mr.. McAddo is not without
staunch friends in Washington there
is no denying that most of them feel
the revelation as to his connection with
Doheny has seriously. impaired his
availability for Democratic Presiden-
tial material. This despite the fact
that such connection was entirely
above-board and legal. However, WASH
ington's reaction to given political
problem quite frequently is entirely at
variance with the slant taken by the
rest of the country and SO it may be
in this case.
A Fighting Man.
At all events the decision made
shows McAdoo is first class fight
ing man and particularly so since it
has leaked out that he first had to
whip into line some of those generally
regarded as his strongest supporters.
According to the story told by a
member OF the McAdoo inner circle,
the Doheny testimony threw those COM
prising thishierarchy into a panic.
While McAdoo was speeding across
the continent to attend the funeral of
DISTINGUISHED father-in-law a secret
caucus was held to determine what
course should be pursued. Attending
this caucus was Dan G. Roper, Thomas
Il. Love, Thomas III. Chadwick. Barney
Baruch and others. They had all but
agreed that the best thing to be done
under the circumstances, was for Nc
Adoo to make a gesture, as one
expressed it, and fade out Of the pic
ture.
Will Not "Iie Down."
1t was just after this decision had
been reached that McAdoo himself en-
tered the conference, having been
guided there by loyal henchman. He
was frankly told how serious the stu
alton was viewed by those present
and what he was expected to do. The
man who tells the story, aglow with
enthusiasm for McAdoo, declares the big
ex-secretary of the treasury backed up
against the wall and, with arms aloft,
declared he would not be a party to
any such deception.
He is declared to have told them
he had never made a gesture" in his
life and certainly would not do so in
this case; that there had been nothing
dishonorable in his services to Doheny,
and that he didn't propose to 'lie
down in the middle Of the road and let
the dogs lick me-" that he would fight,
or better yet, leave it to conference
of all the McAdoo men to decide what
should be done. 1t was then that the
idea of the Chicago conference was
born,

IMMIGRATION BILL
FIGHT IS FAR FROM
PLEASING TO G. o. P.
Big Employers May With
draw Support If New
Measure Passed.

Washington, ID. C., March 1.-THE
fight which has developed over the i'm
migration bill, introduced in the House
several weeks ago, is proving anything
but a pleasant surprise to the Repub-
lican leaders. The bill as drafted
would cut the number of aliens eligi-
BILE for admission almost in half and
has aroused n storm of protests, par
ticularly from two sources.
The great employers of labor in the
industrial district are frank to say
they don't like the bill and since they
are the ones on whom the finance COM
mittee of the Republican national
committee are relying to furnish the
sinews of war for the coming CAM
paign-well, to say the least it's I'M
comfortable.
Then there are the protests from the
foreign born blocs, big and little. They
are more outspoken and believe in di-
rect action. So much so in fact that
their Spokesman are said to have SER
we'd notice on the Republican leaders
that If the bin passes there will be no
hone of delivering the votes of the
naturalized nationals of the nations
affected to the Republican candidates
next November.
Representative John Box of Texas, a
minority member of the immigration
committee and one of the strongest
advocates of the bill, is frankly doubt
full if it can be passed. Will the
measure might weather the storm in
the House it appears destined to have
even rougher sailing in the Senate.
Members of the Senate have never
cvinced as much alarm over the in
flux of aliens as have members OF the
House and have displayed no excite
ment this time.
The indications now are that the
two Houses will fail to agree on any
sort of compromise bill at this SEES
sion and that just before adjournment
a joint resolution will be passed con-
tinuing the present restrictions on i'm
migration and providing for an inves-
tigation of the entire problem by a
Joint committee.

TALKING PICTURES
WILL BE USED IN
PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Both Parties Are Enthu-
siastic Over Successful
Demonstrations.

Washington, ID. C., March H.
A unique feature in the national cam
paign this summer and fall and one
never before used will be the talking
moving picture. The moving picture
machine at length has been success
fully synchronized with the phono-
graph and separate tests given before
the chairmen of both national COM
mittees and a few of the publicity adj
yisors of each. The demonstrations are
said to have been perfect and the lead
ers of both parties are enthusiastic
over the possibilities.
1t is pointed out that by this means
the national candidates will reach mil
lions more people in this campaign
than has ever been possible before and
in q most effective way. Heretofore
only comparatively few Of the elector-
ate have actually seen the candidates
for President or vice president lin ac-
tion." They have formed their conclu-
sions either upon preconceived no
tons, party prejudices or through
reading the speeches in the newspa
pers.
With this new method Of campaign
ing where there Is to be a big state
meeting or one arranged for q city
large enough to warrant it, steps will
be taken to have the national head
quarters send out a talking-moving
picture Of the Presidential and vice
presidential candidates delivering
speeches. They will thus appear on
the same platform with the party can
didate for governor. senator, and rep
resentative, to say nothing of the sher-
iff and tax collector, all Of whom will
share a little of the reflected glory.
AS further improvement a screen has
been devised which will not require
darkening the hall and which can even
be utilized for open-air meetings in the
DAYTIME.
