Chase S. Osborn
Booms Wood for
President in 1920
General Is Best Equipped
Man for Office, Asserts
Michigan Man; Declares
Ford Candidacy a "Joke"
Ex-Governor Chase S. Osbom of I
Michigan said yesterday that Major !
General Leonard Wood is the bust fitted
man for President in l!>20. and gives
his reasons for thinking so, He also i
called Henry Ford a political joke.
Mr. Osborn is a traveller, naturalist,
bip game hunter, metallurgist, pub?
licist, former newspaper man and for?
mer railroad commissioner.
After presiding on Friday night at
the Canadian Camp dinner at the Hotel
Astor he hobnobbed with railroad pr?s
idents yesterday at the Metropolitan
Club. Later a Tribune reporter found
him at the Hole! Astor.
"I am for General Wood for Presi?
dent," said the former Governor.
"Probably the Republicans will nomi?
nate him, an?! he will win impressively.
Michigan likes General Wood, as Mich?
igan liked Roosevelt. Michigan Uni?
versity last year conferred on General
Wood the degree of LL.D. for most logi
cal reasons. Ho is a great humanist
coldier. He doesn't believe in militar?
ism for the s;'ke of militarism, but he
believes this country is great enough
and me ij for the pi ogr? s: of
humanity so if any oth( v fellow be
lieves in militarism and begins to bank
on it. as Germany did five years ago,
the United States should be ready in?
stantly to defend itself as a nation.
Praises Wood As Executor
"General Wood, is a rare man, pos?
sessed ol those popular attributes
that appeal to the people, plus the
ability to see things accurately, lie
has great administrative capacity. I!"
has never been anywhere, or ; signed
to any task, where he has not done
his work better than any one else.

Colorado Loses Tax Suit

Menken Urges Big
Political Parties |
Be Reconstructed !
Former Head of National Se?
curity Leagur Suggests!
[National Conferences to
Outline New Platforms!
A plan for the reconstruction of po- |
litical parties in the United States is
described in a pamphlet issued by S.
Stanwood Menken, former president of
the National Security League. Such |
reconstruction is necessary, according!
to Mr. Menken, because "well balanced
party government is an essential part!
of. our political organization."
Mr. Menken says in the pamphlet:
"The breakdown in Congress, which
has resulted in its defaulting in its
obligations to the American people for
broad preparedness against war. and in!
meetii g the greater problems of resto?
ration of business and industry to nor- |
mal channels, is due to the fact th'at j
the political parties bave ceased to
represent any definite creed or body of ?
pies."
The Democratic and Republican par?
ties to-day. he says, are in a condition j
of "absolute flux." "So much so," he |
add? d, "that with high tariff Democrats'
and high tariff Republicans, advocates
and opponents of centralization of Fed?
eral control, government ownership,
universal training, in both parties, as
ented in Congress, it is impos?
sible to determine what either party
stands for."
Tarty platforms, Mr. Menken says,
should be formed at national confer-j
i nces of the members of each party.'
This convention, he suggests, should;
be held about three months prior to'
the nominating conventions. The num?
ber if delegates at the platform con?
vention, he believes, ought to be about
twice the number of those attending
the nominating convention.
In selecting delegates for the plat-1
form convention, Mr. Menken says,
care should be exercised to assure the
seb ction of n en and women representa?
tive of Ihe broadest and highest
thought in the party from each local?
ity Generally those selected should
be common s< nse industrial heads, and
irers and farmers of capacity.
4 \.- a preliminary to the work of the
rence," Mr. Menken says, "and
to insure the platform being the prod?
uct of well considered action, the na?
tional committee of each party might
ppoint groups of experts to study
and present reports on questions as
to which the expert is a necessary
guide.''
Steinberg Urges Bill
To ('hange ".Notier" Law
Assemblyman Says Present Act
(jive--? Monopoly to Single
Publication for Ads
Joseph Steinberg, Assemblyman
from the Fifteenth District in this
city, announced yesterday he would
introduce a bill in the Legislature to
repeal the power now vested in the
appellate division to designate the
publications in which public notices
i shaH appear.
At the present time, Mr. Steinberg
explained, all surrogates's notices,
nn'ices of sales, partitions and fore?
closures, of change of name, all sum?
monses, etc., have to be published in
"The Law .Journal." Simultaneously
they must appear in one regular daily
newspaper. Mr. Steinberg believes
that the daily papers should handle all
such not ii i
"The Law Journal" costs $7 a year,"
he said. "To many lawyers it is a
hardship to have to pay this amount
to keep track of notices
which, in the regular course of their
i, they must have access to.
New York County is the only county
m the state, so far as I know, that has
a "Law Journal.' Why should the
lawyers of this county be thus pen?
al ?zed" ''.
The original law providing for the
publication of such notices, stipulated
merely that they should be inserted in
two daily papers. Under section !i7
of the Judiciary Laws of 1909 as
amended in 1915, power was, however,
given to the appellate division to
specify what papers should receive
| these advertisements. "The Law
? Journal" wa? one of the publications
i selected.
"Having thus obtained what virtual?
ly amounts to a monopoly in this
field," said Mr, Steinberg, "there is
nothing to prevent this publication
from running up its rates. Its oper?
ating expenses are extremely low, and
i the condition that has grown up here
i In New York County seems to me out?
rageous. The daily newspapers can
', handle all this work just as efficiently
and far more cheaply than 'The I_iw
Journal' can, and lawyerB thereby
saved this extra expense."
Mr. Steinberg Haid that he would In?
troduce hi- hill this week.
