Continued from Vatc One
General Wood's nomination for more
than a year nnd would continue his
support, but deplored the Moses charge.
Chairman Hays did not join in the
discussion except to interject that there
appeared to be "perfect hnnnony" in
the committee.
Wood Upholds Chairman
Although Senator Mnes. who is one
of the general's managers, has de
nounced the decisions of the commit
tee which have seated many Lowtleu
delegates over Wood contestants. Gen
eral Wood himself has followed it
up with a personal statement ex
pressing confidence in the fairness of
Chairman llas and disclaiming any be
lief that the committeemen arc per
mitting their personal preference! ns to
candidates to enter Into the decisions
which will determine the character of
delegations. The committee jesterdny
seated twenty -eicht I.owden delegates.
ngninst twenty -seven of whom Wood
delegates were contesting.
"Not Repudiating Anything"
The probability that Wood lenders
will carry several delegate contests to
the credentials committee was an
nounced by General Wood today.
"I do not know what contests will
be appealed to the credentials com
mittee." said General Wood. "But
there probably will be a number of
them. We nre simply pursuing our right
in this respect."
Asked whether he considered his
statement on the netion of the nntioual
committee nt yesterday's session ns a
repudiation of the stntement of Senator
Moses. General Wood said: "I am not
repudiating anything. Senator Moses
issued hlH statement and I .isucd mine.
They stand as separate statements.
Senator Moses issued his statement for
himself and I issued mine for m.vself.
but I have not repudiated in connection
with either statement."
Speaking of southern states. tencrai
Wood said: "I think some method of
procedure should be definitely prescribed
as to the situutton in the southern
states. I believe bv exercising a little
care in advance the.c constant squabbles
and contests from the soutnern states
could be eliminated. What we ure after
is a strong representative Republican
party. However, I understand that the
national committee has this matter
under consideiatinn "
Steam-roller tilk hasn't appeared In
the preliminaries siucc the celebrated
Toft -Itoosevelt conti st of 1012 and it
adds to tVe noise and onfusion in which
the uninstructed delegate, to to speak, is
having some liffiuiltv in locating tho
band wagon.
Senator Moses charged the nationol
committee with "removing from the
Wood column a sufficient number of
otes to the Low den column to equalize
tlio unnarent strength of these two
rivals on the first ballot." This, he
said, might lead to a coalition ot the
Wood and .lotmson forces, wuicn wouiu
easily control the convention.
From the Johnson ramp came the dec
laration that Senutor Moses' position
indicated thnt both the Wood and John
son forces could bo expected to oppose
Hie nomination of any man named by
thn "Old Guard " Friends of Senator
Johnson, however, scouted the present
the men nre honest, nnd I expect them
to cast their vote for ine until I sub
stantially release them," said the son
utor. "Take the case of Senator ntson,
snid Senntor Johnson, "lie is nn nr
dent Harding adherent, but he is in
structed to vote for General Wood,
Does auv one here believe that he will
violate his instructions nnd vote for
Senator HardiugV"
Defends Preferential Primaries
"I see where I have been invited to
become n vice presidential nominee,"
Senator Johnson said to the newspaper
men. "This is not the lirt time, and
it is peculiar that the men who make
these Imitations apparently think that
I nm unlit for the presidency. We nre
going right along with our light for the
presidency."
.Referring to a statement credited to
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler toduy that
the presidential primaries were a fuil
urc. Senator Johnson sold: "Where
would I be in this race if it were jiot
for the primarV I am heartily in favor
of the primary. Is it right to say the
people are tit to i house n Piesidcnt but
are not tit to rhoose it nominee? Some

7' SAYS HIS MEN
WILL STICK TO HIM
Olicagn. June 5. (By A. P.) Sen
ator Hiram Johnson announced today
tlml he felt convinced thut every dele
gate who came from a state that cast n
preferential vote In his favor would vote
for him not only on the first or first few
ballots, but until he released them.
"I have no fear that a man will vio
late his Instructions given by the people
of his state. I fully expect neiegaies n
a state that cast a preferential yom m
my favor to vote for roe,' he said.
When his attention was cjiiiiru vo vur
situation iu North Dakota, where dclc.r
gates reported favorable to General
Wood were elected, but where Johnson,
who was the only candidate running In
the preference primary, carried the
state, Senntor Johnson stated that he
fully expected to receive the North Da
kolu vote. .,,.,, i
Asked whether he expected to hold

there would be a "plank which will bo

whether he had j.ct approved the Wat

Mr. Johnson also stated he would go
upon tho convention floor if a light on
tho- platform should be deemed neces

VOTING IN NORTH CAROLINA
Johnson and Wood Contestants for
Moral Support
Ralclsh. N. C. June 5. (By A. P.)
Republicans of North Carolina at a
primnry today will express their pref
erence between Senator Johnton nnd
General Wood fir the presidential nom
ination, the only two candidates who
filed notices in this state. However, ns
the nomination probably will be made
before the state board of'clections can
vasses the returns, the vote will have
only n normal effect on t,hc delegation to
the Chicago convention.
The Democrats also arc holding n pri
mary today in whirh they will nominnte
candidates for senntor, members of the
House aud state offices, including gov
ernor. For presidential preference only the
name of Senntor F. M. Simmons, as u
fnvorltc-son dclcente. is on the ticket.
and his name nlready has been certified
by the state bodrd of elections, which
assures the support for him of the
state's twenty-four delegates.

Republicans up to scorn for betraying
the cause of women becnuso tho Re
publican states of Delaware, Connec
ticut nnd ermont have failed among
them to furnish the last necessary voto
for the ratification of tho equal suffrage
amendment. Over this headquarters
hangs n theatrical sign which tends:
"No sweethearts' shop."
The Republican purty's sweethearts
hope to get arrested for their nttempt
to wreck what is left of the party's
nerves.. If they can only be put In
jail and go on hunger strikes for be
sieging the Republican party with ban
ners they will be supremely happy.
Picture PiizIo With Extra. Parts
One of the Republican delegates here
snid the situation was like a picture
puzzle.
They have all the parts but they
don't know ,iovv to fit them together
nnd they not wiil.v have all the pnrts,
but thev have a few extra nnrls thnt
belong to nuother plcturo and they nro
nevertiiciess mnuiy trying to put tucin
all into one picture. Borah and John
son ns well as Lodge" nnd Smoot, with
reconcllubles us well as irreconcllnbles,
with conservatives as well ns radicals,
if they nro all jolmd together into one
single scheme it will be n post-lm-pressionlst
or cubist puzzle when lt Is
finished.
Chicago Is like Paris, tho Republi
can National Convention is like the
Peace Conference with tho big threo
left out. There Is no big three nt Chl
eego. Not even n big one, nothing big.
The problem is to givo Johnson Flume
without robbing Lodge of his only sen
port. No Chicago pence conference is
trying to create a peace that will last
until next November.
Peaco Parley AH Over Again
And the convention is like the Taris
Peace Conference in the convincing evi
dences lt furnishes of human incapac
ity. Ever body blundered nt Paris.
No one was big enough to make a real
peace. Everybody has blundered in get
ting ready for Chicago. Nobody has
been big enough to make a real run for
the presidential nomination.
Wood blundered. He would have
been nominated by now if be had not
sought the presidency. He blundered
nguin. He put his campaign in the
hands of amateurs. A professional
politician knowing the vnlue of money
would not have caused a scandal.
Hoover blundered. If he had main
tained his nttltudo of waiting to sec
which party deserved his support the
Republicans, in their present chastened
mood, would have been in n panic, lest
tho strongest personality iu their ranks
might uc nominated ity the enemy.
Low den blundered. For n fovv pur
chasable votes in Missouri his managers
threw nway wnnt seemed only a few
blundered. But be looks small, it,

Of course, the convention will make t
nomination. It will muddle throngn

between a Republican leador here and
Homer Cummlngs. the Democratic ni
tlonnl chairman, shows what U hip.

Nominations Cheapened
The. presenco at the convention ol
the various candidates for tbe presi
dency has cheapened the vvbolo procMn
of Presidcntsnamlng. This is the first '
time they have all been on the geese
personally seeking the support of dele- '
gates, seeing the press, nailing Ilea
with their own little hammers, bosilsi
their own pres agents. Wood, will,
ing quietly nboujt tho corridors ol his
uotei near nis neaaquarcers, looks In-
rleserlhnhlrl morn Hicntnitft thn. J..
Johnson, leading parades and respond
ing to inn raacnino-maoo enmuslana
of the crowds, but Wood started the
trouble by the campaign be conducted,
with its jazz publicity and its theory ,
that a enndidato could be sold like a
soap to tho nation.
If this convention ends in wiping the
slnto clean it will probably end for a
time tho cheap scramble for the presi
dency. Men who really hove claim to
the nomination will imitate Mr. Me.
Adoo nnd keep out of tho primaries.
And they will, above all, keep nway
from the convention. If Wood or
Johnson wins tho nomination nnd the
election afterward the practice of thin
year will p.-obably be the established
custom. The Congress has declined is
importance pnrtly because n lower class
of men seek election to it. Candiditei
for tho presidency this year are tryltf
to redress the balance by lowering tie
standards of that office.

Don't Let Your Transmission
Be a Power-Escape
No part of a truck has a harder job than its gears. Every ounce of the forty or more
horsepower required to carry those heavy loads day in and day out is carried in your
transmission case by four little flat gear teeth.
And the sliding, squeezing action of those teeth makes them the most difficult of any
part of your truck to lubricate efficiently.
Oil will not stand the squeezing, sliding action, and grease will not cling to and follow
the gears. A compounded lubricant is required that ha3 the flowing, following quality
of oil and better lubricating quality than grease. '
Crew Levick Special Gear Compound will cling to gears at all speeds. It cushions the
teeth and prevents wear and noise, and it will stand successfully the sliding, squeezing
action of any gears, no matter what the load.
It offers the safest and surest protection against wear in the transmission or differential,
and it is equally good for packing the wheels and the steering and universal housings!
Injected easily and quickly with a grease gun.
