BRYAN STRONGLY OPPOSED TO NOMINATION OF PALMER. As for Attorney General Palmer, Mr. Bryan chafes because of the in- Junction issued’by Mr. Palmer against the coal miners. The Commoner thinks the Democrats should keep in | the good graces of labor, and while he approves heartily of Mr. Palmer's Prohibition views, he doesn't think the Attorney General oan qualify as a friend of labor. ‘ ‘To all the candidates on the list Mr. Bryan applies this test: Prohibition, Woman Suffrage, friendliness to labor, capacity for business administration and recognition of the interests of the farmer.

WASHINGTON, April 6.—As the result of the failure of the United States Government to buy the Cuban sugar crop when it was available at 11 oonts, Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts to-day predicted that consumers will Soon be paying 20 to 2% cents a pound for the commodity This incidental statement was made before a sub-committee of the House Judiciary Committee, which is con- | sidering Tinkham’s request for an in- vestigation into the sugar situation, especially with respect to Attorney General Patmer’s action in fixing the | price of Louisiana sugar at 17 cents. Representative Whaley, a member ‘of the sub-committee, said that with | borted Woman Suffrage. He has taken a broad attitude on the question of Mbor and was ap- pointed a member of the public grou in the President's fii Industrial Commission. Mr. Meredith is, more- over, a successful business min. He is tho editor and putdisher of Suc- | cessful Farming, one of the largest farm periodicals in the country. He ig a promoter of other large business enterprises and thinks in terms of Dusiness efficiency. He favors the League of Nations and has been a consistent supporter of President Wilson. | As & matter of fact, Mr, Meredith has never taken himeelf seriously as @ Presidential aspirant. Many of his friends here, however, who are not | inelined to think he has much of a/ chance this year, even with Dr, Bryan's support, say he would make | an excellent candidate four years from now as he would by that tithe have acquired an intimate knowl- | edge of Government administration through his membership in the Cab- | inet. | MEREDITH WILL BE A DELE-| GATE FROM IOWA, Mr. Meredith is himself one of the “vig four’ in Iowa's delegation to the Democratic Cohvention at San Francisco. While he has worked hard to ha the delegation go unin- structed, he is at the sume time eager to have Iowa support ultimately the candidacy of William @. McAdoo on | the floor of the convention. Other members of the Iowa delegation are trying to have Iowa's delogutes in- structed under the unit rule for Palmer. There will be @ State con- ference of lowa Democrats next week when, no doubt, the supporters of McAdoo and Palmer wilt begin the battle for an instructed or whin-| structed delegation, Mcanwhile the attitude of William!

The Massa- chusetts representative contended that the Attorney General had con- travened his authority in Louisiana since there was no Presidential proc- lamation setting forth the necesssity for price fixing in this instance and the intention to put it into effect and 10 Heenses issued, Mr. Tinkham insisted that when Attornéy General Palmer comes be- fore the committee he be categori- cally agked as to his authority for fixing the price of the Louisiana sugar crop. Chairman Husted of the sub-com- mittee raised the point that the President had no more authority to fix the price of the 1919 crap in Lu- iviana than he had to purchase the Cuban sugar after the nominal estab- lishment of peace. A report to Congress by Attorney General Palmer, embodying corre- spondence between United States At- torney Mooney at New Orleans and the Departmont of Justice, detailing negotiations which, with sugar plant- ers, was read: The Attorney General's report con- cluded with the following statement: “These telegrams do not at all mean that we fixed the price, but do mean he epecial circum. crops, this departmen was willing to concede tha prosecuions would be in- effecual and unsuccessful if based upon a contention that any price leas | than 17 cents per pound for yellow clarified and 18 cents per pound for plantation granulaed was an excess- ive price under the Lever law.” The sub-committee will hear Attor- ney Genera!

The Republican organization lixe- wise responded to the stimulus of the Michigan returns, For the first time, apparently, the machine awoke to a realization of what a divided delexa- tion would mean in Chicago, and an eleventh-hour effort was made to bring out the full organization vate to insure the defeat of Johnson candi- dates, Apprhensive of irregularities at the primartes, the Board of Blections at a special meeting at noon passed a resolution calling the attention of Police Commissioner Enright to the necessity of having the police keep a close watch at the polls.
