the story makes il clear that young
Wood did not know as much about
what went on at Chicago convention
in 1920 as many newspaper men. The
present writer followed the Chicago
convention and General Woods part
in it very closely, and according to
his recollection Leonard Wood, jr.,

Woods candidacy for president arose,

Of attorney general after he got II.
Tha, Daughery had limitations and
old associations which made him I'M
desirable as an appointee to the ohics
is well known. These stories were
printed at the time, and IT was freely
said that Harding made a most
serious mistake in appointing him.
The real question at issue now. how
ever. Is not what Daugherty did be.
fore he was attorney general, but how
he conducted the Office after he got
IL. As TO this, the common Judgment
at Washington Is that he did rather
better than anybody expected; that
he was always aware OF tho criticism
that had been made OF his appoint
ment, and tried very hard by his con-
duet in Office TO justify Hardings se-
lection of him. IL is the common
judgment that he did his best to free
himself from the claims of his old
associations, and frequently refused
to do things pressed upon him by
some of them.
a case in point Is the recent In
dictment in New York OF a lawyer
who had been an old associate Of
Daugherty and who is now charged
according to the allegation made by
the grand jury-with having taken a
large fee in exchange for a promise
to persuade the attorney general TO
quash some indictments against men
charged with FRAUDULENT stock sell
ing.
Obtained Convictions.
As TO this case, the true testimony
is that the attorney general and the
federal district attorney in New York
did not quash the indictments but on
the contrary went on and secured con-
victions.
A good deal rests on the question
whether the senate committee inyes-
tigating Daugherty Is willing to go
ahead energeticslly and hear the more
important charges first. and in other
respects make an earnest effort TO
bring the investigation to a reason
ably early conclusion. II this Is done,
the dilemma can be solved with rea-
sonable satisfaction. for Daugherty.s
friends say he is quite willing to ~
sign at the end Of the investigation.
They say he IS willing to resign Il
the committee finds against him. and
equally willing to resign il IL does not
find against him. The duration of the
investigation Is therefore of the es-
sence OF the situation. And this aues-
tion Of duration is obviously up to the

Lincoln. March 13.-Plans have

two more bridges across the Platte
river-one at Grand Island and one at
Broadwater-to be paid for with fed

are now being advertised for. These
are In addition to four state aid
bridges whose construction is planned
for this year.
One of the new state aid bridges
Is to be located at Silver Creek and
another at Cozad on the Platte river.
State Engineer Cochran is unable to
say where the other two will be, ex.
cept that one will be on the Platte
and the other on the Republican river.
Thirty-five applications for state aid
bridges are on file. but nearly all of
them will have to be put over for
inclusion-in the 1925 program.
In building the four bridges, the en-
tire appropriation of 100000 made
by the legislature for state aid in
that field will be used up.

sequently. Hamon determined TO
make an effort to unseat the repuhli.
can national committeeman from
Oklahoma in a popular election.
This contest was brought to the at.
tention of General Wood and he in
the interest of stability. tried 10 dis
suade Hamon from making any con-
test. Thereupon Hamon became ag.
srieved and thereafter was strongly
off Wood. During subsequent
months Hamon used to go about
Washington carrying in his pocket
the Cancelled check showing he had
made a contribution to the Wood cam
paign fund and showing 1t to many
people.
All this enstrangement between
1amon and Wood took place months
before the convention. 1t is a fact
that during the convention some per-
son representing Wood tried to placate
Hamon and tried to get him to throw
the strength he had to Wood again.
This was known to persons who were
close to what was going on at the
convention, but the writer never
heard and believes he would have
heard, il anything had happened as
charged by young Leonard Wood to
the effect that Hamon approached
Wood during the convention with a
demand for the office of secretary Of
interior In exchange for the delegates
from Oklahoma or such other strength
as Hamon may have had.
Hamon Was Hard Boiled.
So much for that In the present
gossip OF Washington there is a story
to the effect that the Daugherty com
m.ttee will go into another phase of
lannon's activities. 1t Is said that
they propose TO investigate story
to the effect that Hamon had some
kind Of promise from Harding or from
Daugherty on behalf of Harding, in
exchange for delivering the Oklahoma
delegates. As to this, the writer
knows less than about the other story.
Undoubtedly Hamon was an extremely
hard boiled person. The fact is
that during the first eight ballots up
to the last two. the bulk Of the Ok
lahoma delegates did not vote for
Harding. That. however, may not
mean much.
Stories. and for that matter facts,
which reflect on Daugherty's desir-
ability as an appointee to the office

enough. but these stories must be
distinguished from the facts as to
