By Carter Field
CHICAGO, Jan. 2*3.?Illinois seems to
e about tho least doubtful state in the
L'ftion. At the Republican National
Convention, beyond the shadow of a
?oubt, she will cast her fifty-four votes
for her favorite son, Governor Frank
0, Lowden. At the San Francisco con?
vention, unless there is some remark?
able and unexpected change in the situ?
ation, her fifty-four delegates will vote
?"or Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal?
mer. And her twenty-seven electoral
vote?, unless there is a political land?
slide between now ?nd November. "will
be cast for whoever the Republicans
nominate.
Illinois seem? to be intensely proud
of Governor Lowden. Politicians and
business men of both parties alike sing
his praises. The Democrats, apparently,
?an advance no reason why the Repub?
licans should not nominate him, except
that the Republicans would thereby be
passin"; up an opportunity to capture
-ome doubtful state by nominating its
favorite son, whereas "anybody can
carry Illinois on the Republican ticket."
This last statement was made to me by
?ne of the most prominent Democrats
in the state.
Democrats Like I^owden

due to the La Follette situation, and
.; North Dakota, duo to the Nonpar
? san League situation. Tr,<- Lowden
women are organized under Mr*.
Fletcher Dobyns, who has charge of
their activities in the national fight.
Perhaps the best illustration of how
Democrats in Illinois feel toward
Governor Lowden is the* fact that the
cratii State Convention in 1918
adopted ? plank in its platform prais
ng Lowden ?"or his record as a war
? ir. Tii>' significance of this is
?hanced by the fact that the plank

in Illinois is unquestioned. One
Sullivan's bitterest opponents in
the party, however, in a confidential
: ?ation to-day indorsed that plank

in the Democratic platform and praised !
Governor Lowden without ?tint.
In view of the strength of General
v\ ood in other states with former
Roosevelt men, the Lowden people
point with pride to the fact that such
men as Harold L. Ickes, of Chicago.
who was chairman ,of tho Progressive
convention; Frank H. Funk, Progres?
sive candidate for Governor in 191*2;
Senator Medill McCormick and George
H. Porter, of Chicago, close personal
friends of President Roosevelt; are
doing all they can for Lowden.
There is admittedly a great deal of
Woo?J sentiment in the state, and the
Wood people are confident the delega?
tion will have at least a liberal sprin?
kling of men who will jump to Wood if
it should develop that Lowden cannot
be nominated. This may or may not bo
true, but it is very obvious that Wood
has not inherited the Roosevelt follow?
ing in Illinois to anything like the ex?
tent that he has in some other states,
notably Ohio.
Lowden to Win Primary
Illinois has a preferential primary on
May 10. It is not definitely settled yet
whether General Wood will be entered.
That will probably bo determined by
events in the mean* time. However, the
primary is not binding in its effect on
the delegate?. The state convention
instructs the delegates from the dis?
tricts, who are elected by the people,
and tho convention also selects the "big
four." There is no doubt whatever that
the Lowden people will be in full con?
trol, nor, for that matter, that Lowden
will win the primary if any other candi?
date enters to contest it with him.
The Wood people here are very opti?
mistic, despite their being surrounded
by favorito son enthusiasm. They
point to the fact thaa six Western
Governors have already come out for
Wood: Burnquist, ?Minnesota; Nor
beck, South Dakota; Allen, Kansas;
Shoup, Colorado; Campbell, Arizona,
and Lnrrazola, New Mexico. They are
very much cheered, also, with regard
to the Iowa situation, a report having
come in that Governor Harding of
that state is for Wood. The Lowden
people are very confident that Governor
Harding is for their man.
James J. McGraw, national commit
teeman from Oklahoma, will arrive
in a few days to take charge of Wood
headquarters here, with Fred Stanley,
national committeeman from Kansas,
as his lieutenant.
The hotels here give the impression
that the convention might be next
week instead of on June 8. The Low?
den people have suites at both tho Con?
gress and Auditorium, the Wood people
have nearly one whole side of a cor?
ridor at the Congress. Coolidge head?
quarters will be opened in a few day?,
and both national committees have
headquarters.
Sullivan for Palmer
On the Democratic side it is con?
ceded by friends of the other candi?
dates, although thus far no Democratic
candidate has developed any enthusias?
tic support here, that Roger Sullivan
will take the delegation to San Fran?
cisco for A. Mitchell Palmer. Mr. Sulli?
van has made no secret of his friend?
ship nnd admiration of the Attorney
General. He is said not to be par?
ticularly friendly to McAdoo, although
he has commented to friends that
Palmer and McAdoo have mor? ad?
mirers than any other candidates men?
tioned so far for the Presidency. He
is known to be against the nomination
of Herbert C. Hoover. So every one
hero assumes that the Illinois delega?
tion will vote solidly for Palmer until
he is nominated or it is conceded that
he has no chance for the nomination.
Friends of the Attorney General do
not think that his injunctions against
the coal strikers will hurt him much.
; despite the large number of coal
I miners in Illinois. Despite tiio large
foreign population of the state, and

particularly of Chicago, they do not
think his pressure for sedition bills
will hurt him. On the other hand,
there are prominent Democrats, but
[who probably will have little to do with
naming the delegates, who think both
these things would make it difficult
, for Palmer to carry any state in the
middle Western group, especially when
Mayor Thompson's boast that Chicago
is the sixth German city in the world
is rpcailed.
Ex-Senator James Hamilton Lewis
1 has told friends that he would not be
surprised to see the Democratic con
? vention pass over Palmer for the rea
j sons just stated, pass over McAdoo be?
cause of dissatisfaction with him on
: account of the railroad administration
! aftermath, which includes dissatisfac
; tion on the part of the brotherhoods
because their differential of pay was
not maintained as against the other
i railroad workers; pass over Hoover
: because of political vulnerability as
| to residence, and finally decide on
, Champ Clark or Governor Cox of Ohio.
: Clark, he suggested, as possible be
; cause there could gather to him all
that opposed the President, while ad?
mirers of the President could be fur
him on the ground that he would carry'
out Mr. Wilson's policies. Governor
? Cox, in this line of thought, might be
selected by the convention beca\isc of
the supreme necessity of the Demo?
crats of carrying Ohio.
Some Wilson Talk
Senator Lewis has surprised his
friends also by declaring that it may
be the logical thing a* the time of the
convention to renominate President
Wilson, especially if there should be
a continuance of the wars in Europe.
1 or they should grow worse.
However, it may bo taken for
granted that unless something entirely
unforseen occurs, these thought:; will
not affect the Illinois delegation to
: the Democratic convention. It will
? be for Palmer, unless Roger Sullivan
sees a great light of some sort in the
meantime, and Mr. Sullivan is very
seldom dazzled.
It should be recalled that although
Sullivan had much to do with the
nomination of Wilson in Baltimore in
1912, throwing the Illinois delegation
to him at the psychological moment,
President Wilson never manifested any
gratitude. When the time came to
distribute the plums it was Senator
Lewis, ex-Mayor Carter Harrison and
! others, who had spent most of their
. political lives fighting the big fellow,
' whose recommendations as to Federal
? patronage were heeded at the White
' House. Then William Jennings Bryan,
i Wilson's Cabinet premier at the time,

Vice-Presidential Outlook
But when Mr. Palmer became a fac?
tor in the Administration all this was
changed. Mr. Sullivan's desires were
j no longer ruthlessly ignored. Since
which lime the Democratic organiza?
tion in Cook County has rather come
to the conclusion that this man Palmer
?s one of keen perceptions and alto?
gether of Presidential caliber.
A discussion of the Illinois situation
would not be complete without a ref?
erence to the Vice-Presidential boom
oi' ex-Senator Lewis. Harmony among
; the formerly discordant Democratic
elements has apparently been achieved
and the Cook County organization can
use Lewis. The former Senator has
a tremendous personal following of
highly independent voters, especially
in Chicago. He carried Cook County
by n big majority in between two
sweeps of the city of Chicago by Mayor
Thompson on the Republican ticket.
Therefore, the Democratic organization
is anxious that everv bit of Lewis
strength possible shall be contributed
to the local Cook County ticket next
fall. Even if Illinois goes Republican
and the national candidates go down
to defeat, the Lewis strength might
aid considerably in putting over the
Cook County ticket.
Hence it is not at alt unlikely that,
the Illinois delegation at San Francisco,
headed ami controlled "by Roger Sulli?
van, Lewis's foe of years' standing,
may do its utmost to get Lewis nomi
? nated for Vice-President.

Overtures to Johnson to

Representative Norman ,T. Gould, o?'
; .Seneca Falls, the newly appointed
: Eastern manager of the Leonard Wood
boom for President, predicted yester- (
- day at his headquarters in the Imperial
l Motel that General Wood's lead would
! be steadily increased. He declared

! son, of California, is receiving over- I
| tures from William R. Hearst looking
to his becoming the candidate for
! President on a third party ticket on a
? platform declaring unrelenting opposi
I tlon to the proposed league of nations.
"As to the Hoover boom," said the
j new Wood lieutenant, "the Wood men
I will be glad to have him run as a

been out of the country pretty much
! all of the time for the last fourteen

McKinley.
"Hoover joined with Wilson in ask
I ing the country to elect a Democratic

, personally desire to thank him, as my
plurality after that appeal rose to ;
24,159. The people of this nation will
beat any candidate handed to them by
: the Wilson Administration, no matter

Ar.ked about the Johnson third party

"I ha,vo to-day been informed by a

How Will You Avoid Influenza?
In Spanish Influenza, as in many other diseases, the
germ fastens most readily on fruitful soil?a system
that is in poor condition.
A favorite breeding-ground for disease germs in the
body is the food waste in the large intestine. Stop?
page of that waste, and the resulting decay, generates
poisons which are absorbed by the blood, lowering its
power of resistance to withstand the attack of outside
germs such as influenza.
In plain terms, constipation encourages Spanish
Influenza.
If you keep your intestinal passage clear and functioning reg?
ularly to get rid of this waste, your system will be kept in good
condition to successfully cope with disease germs to which you
may be exposed.
That is what the Nujol Treatment does?without straining,
and without drawing on the vitality of other parts of the body,
as do other forms of treatment.
In plain terms, Nujol discourages constipation and its dangerous
consequences.
If you think you're a victim of the Spanish Influenza, see &
doctor at once.
If you're well, keep your body clean inside with the Nujol
Treatment. It is the best possible Sickness Prevention.
Nujol is sold by all druggists in bottles bearing the Nujol Trade Mark. Beware of
products represented to be "the same as Nujol." You may suffer from substitutes.

day.
"Determined efforts are being made
by the Lowden men in South Dakota
and in Michigan to overcome Wood'.-*
lead, because South Dakota is the first
Middle West state to hold primaries,
and Michigan is the first large state.
Michigan lets thirty delegates. Neither
the Harding nor any other Republican
followings are making serious efforts
for candidates outside their particular
states. General Wood has just re?
turned to Chicago from a two-days'
visit to Grand Rapids and St. Joseph,
Mich.
"Kx-Senator William Alden Smith in?
troduced him at Grand Rapids, and an?
nounced that ho would support him
with all his power. Thereafter Repub?
lican leaders met General Wood and
assured him that he was Michigan's
choice.
"General Wood will answer the cha',
'enge of Senator Poindexter and tin

state his position on the league of na?
tions. Among the letters of suppor*
received by General Wood in Chicago
last week was one from Billy Sunday."

The Merchant
ailors Society of the City of New York
DECLARES FOR THE
OPEN SHOP and INDUSTRIAL FREE
The undersigned members of The Merchant Tailors Society of the City of New York, in conformity with ?is Declaration of Principles,
are conducting their establishments upon the Open-Shop plan.
Through a prolonged strike of almost eighteen weeks they stood as a unit for INDUSTRIAL
FREEDOM, firmly refusing to bow to the dictates of professional radicals?the trouble makers
by whom the strike was called and conducted during that period with the usual methods of in?
timidation and destruction of property. This strike was an obvious effort to force the closed
shop upon the trade, gain control of the business and impose upon it all the well-known re?
strictions of radical Unionism.
The strike was unpopular with the workmen from the start. Pear of the consequences kept
many of them from remaining at their employment. But with the SWEEPING AND PERMA?
NENT INJUNCTION lately granted and protection now assured, they are returning daily to
their old positions. Conditions are now normal and settled.
As in the past, the workers will be paid liberally and in accordance with present living con?
ditions. Due regard for proficiency will be recognized, and ambitious men will be given every
opportunity to better themselves.
As good American citizens let us rally round the standards of Freedom and Social Order. Let
us show a united front against those forces of sedition and disloyalty which aim at the destruc?
tion of our established Government and its time-honored institutions, the mainstay of our life
and liberty.
We endorse the action o? the Government in punishing and deporting all undesirables. Bolshe
*. isls. Soviets, and ?, \\ . T$ ,'s. There i? no room for them in Free America. We demand the
OPEN SHOP, LAW AND ORDER. A SQUARE DEAL FOR ALL; one LANGUAGE, one LOY?
ALTY, one FLAG.
