NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
PreConvention Doings of
Republicans—*“Lindy”
Reaches Havana.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
EPUBLICAN interest in the pre
convention I'residential campaign
centered on the question of what
Herbert Hoover would do in the mat-
ter of entering the preferen-
tial primaries. Formal steps to In-
duce him to contest with Senator
Frank B. Willis for the state delega-
tion were taken by a committee of
prominent politicians formed at Col-
umbus and a petition to the secretary
of commerce was circulated far sig-
natures. Mr. Willis, being a “favorite
son,” has indicated that he is ready
for the fight and it is admitted that
if Mr. Hoover does enter the pri-
maries, and loses, his cause will have
received a serious blow,
Some of the eastern party leaders
who are opposed to the Hoover candl-
dacy, notably Secretary of the Treas-
ury Mellon and Charles Hilles, are
reported to be alarmed by the grow-
ing strength of Hoover in the east-
ern states and to be laying plans to
bring about a deadlock in the con-
vention in the hope that this would
be broken by the “drafting™ of Mr.
Coolidge. The Pennsylvania delega-
tion will go to Kansas City solid
for Mellon and ready to jump where
he tells it to, Hilles and State Chale
man Morris of New York have ar
ranged that the New York delegates
shall not gommit themselves until
something more definite is known as
to the chance of renominating Cool.
idge. Governor Fuller of Massachu-
setts may be brought forward in order
to check the Hoover campaign for
delegates in the Bay state. It ap-
pears that these anti-Hoover leaders,
if they could not have Coolidge, might
line up their delegates for Dawes,
Mellon and probably others of them
would prefer even Hoover to Lowden
because of the latter's stand in favor
of the McNary-Haugen brand of farm
relief legislation. In Ohio the Lowd-
enitex are backing Willis and in Indi-
ana they are supporting Senator Wat-
son, believing Lowden will benefit by
this when those gentlemen find their
chances in the convention are nil
Developments of the week in Illi
nois politics were exciting locally and
promised to have some effect on the
Presidential eampaign Gov. Len
Small, desiring a third term, was
forced to surrender to Mayor Thomp-
son of Chicago, agreeing to make Big
Bill his patronage dispenser in the
metropolis in return for the support
of the Thompson organization. The
mayor has been strongly opposed to
sending any Lowden delegates to Kan-
sans City from Cook county d also
is the political foe of Senator Deneen.
So It iz not unlikely that the friends
of Lowden and Deneen will make an
alliance with the supporters of See-
retary of State Emmerson, who Is out
for the gubernatorial nomination. In
this way they might elect a consid-
erable number of Lowden delegates
throughout the state. The matter of
Frank IL. Smith, senator-elect, who
was denied his seat, also enters in-
to the Illinois situation. Mr. Smith
resigned his credentials, was reappoint-
ed by Small and announced his candi-
dacy for re-election In November,
Among the Democrats of the coun-
try the campaign of Al Smith goes
along fairly smoothly but with some-
what less impetus. MecAdoo’s Vir.
ginia speech chirked up the dry Dem-
ocrats a lot and In several states the
opposition to the New York gover.
nor was noticeably stronger, But it
isn't strong enough yet fo lend to
revision of the prediction that he will
be the party's nominee at Houston.
The suggestion that Jesse Jones of
Texas be named as Smith's running
mate seems to meet with Increasing

ORRESPONDENCE made public
by Senutor Walsh, prosecutor for
the senate’'s Teapot Dome investigat
ing committee, reveals the fact that
John D. Rockefeller, Jr. strongly
urged Col. Robert W, Stewart, chair-
man of the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana, to tell the committee who
were the heneficlaries of the notorious
£350,000,000 Continental Trading ecom-
pany, Ltd, deal—information which
Stewart declined to give and in con-
sequence was cited for contempt, Sen-
ator Walsh wrote to Mr. Rockefeller
asking his aid in unraveling the Con-
tinental mystery and the letter prom-
ised to do all he could to clear it up.
Later he wrote Stewart saying the
chalrman owed it to his
and stockholders and to the publle
to bring the questionable transac-
tions into the fullest light.
Mr. Rockefeller was summoned to
appear the Satur-
day.

of American marines in Jinotega, San
