That tho Franco-Germa- n ronferenee on commercial problems which will take place In Paris within the next two weeks will assume a greater Importance than was anticipated Is the French and German otn- - view . . . of both . ..,. ., or.

The position 0 France Is olllclally de- clared to bo against disarmament as long as Germany maintains nn effective army, but the German Socialists, who rapidly are getting control of Oerman affairs, arc enually opposed to the main- tenance of a large military forco. Tills opposition Is gTatlfylnR to tho French, who are ready to propose radical dis armament measures if Germany will agreo to nbandon the principle of main- taining the cadreH of the old system. M. Isaacs, the French Minister of Commerce, is understood to have sug- gested that military questions be dis- posed of before purely commercial prob- lems are considered. The proposal Is meeting considerable approval in Ger- man quarters, where it is believed that a commercial entente with France Is not Improbable once the military ob- stacle is removed. The Germans have not yet named their delegates to the Tarls conference, but all indications point to a commis- sion capable ot discussing both tho mili- tary and the economic features of the proposed agreement.

May 2. Premier Nlttl'n Insist- ence on the necessity of resuming rela- tions with Russia Is not properly under- stood in America, according to a high official who Is very close to the Gov- ernment. \Some American newspapers,\ he stated, \have blamed the Premier for wanting to recognize and consequently support the Bolshevist Government. NIUl's idea was entirely different as he expressed In his speech to tho Senate. His Intention was not to nld the but to save the rest of the world from the poisonous propaganda that comes out of Russia.\ In his declaration to the Senate Nlttl said: \I believe the allied Governments nadi a great mistake In surrounding Russia with a steel belt and refusing to have any official communications with !t, for In so doing we made a mystery of the Russian situation. The allied peoples seeing that their rcsprescntatlvos would not negotiate with Russia came to the belief that the assertions made by ardent Bolshevists In their midst were true nnd that Russia was actually tho land where miraculous things were performed In favor of tho proletariat. \Now let the truth and the whole truth be known.

There Is nn npparent consensus that Indiana will emulate Now Jersey and that tho result of the primary will lie in doubt until the final prrclncts are heard from. Gov. Frunx C. Juowden of Illinois is genreally conceded third place, although many observers bollove that If Senator Johnson cuts deeply enough Into Gen. Wood's following tho Illinois man may win first place. The Louden partisans themselves, however, admit that this Is ft remote possibility.

Tho fact that Gen. Wood Kavo him such a merry chase In his homo State\ has had a decidedly adverse benrlng on his standing In Indiana.

CARRANZA 'PEACE' SCORNED BY REBELS Offer of Commission to Settle Viewed as a Trick. Sptcial to Tim sun ami New Youk Hebu.ii. Washington, May 2. A flat refusal of overtures pf peace from Carranza has been mado by the revolutionary Govern- ments of Sonora and affiliated Mexican States. Representative of the Sonora Government announced y In Wash- ington that the only basis of pence which the Mexican revolutionists will recognize will h; the elimination of Cnrranza from position and power In Mexico. Tho reply of tho revolutionises Is to the proportion pat forward by Carranza. following a conference with soma of his generals, who suggested his withdrawal from the Mexican Government. Carranza declined to listen to their suggestion?, but mado a counter proposition that lie withdraw \his candidate\ for the Presi- dency. Ignaclo Bonlllas. nnd appoint a commission to treat with tho Sonora revolutionists. The fact that the generals urged Car- ranza to withdraw Is regarded as n grim confession of weakness of his Govern- ment. Interpretation placed upon this episodo here is that It indicates Car-ranz- fall Is Imminent. The revolu- tionary agents say that the suggestion of a compromise made by Carranza Is be- side the point. The withdrawal of Bonll- las and tho appointment of a commission they looked upon as Doing a \Carran-znda \ a new word that has come Into existence. In Mexico, meaning a. political trick. 1 ' From revolutionary sources hero It Is learned that 6,000 men are marching upon Torreon from Chihuahua and It la expected this Importa- t- strategic point will fall shortly. Cnrranza, It Is claimed, has no forces to resist the at- tack which Is preparing. Torreon Is nn important strategic point on the Mexican Central Railroad and Its fall would mean the Immediate capture of Monto-re- y. with control of tlin rond leading to tho Tnmpico oil ilclds nnd other Import- ant points. Control ot Torreon. It Is acknowledged, would mean absolute control ot nil northern Mexico, including tho oil fields, by tho revolutionists and would leave Carranza nothing but the empty shell of Moxlco city from which to com- bat tho constantly Increasing foiccs ot the revolutionists.

They will sit In the convention with two delegates who survived the general de- feat ot the ticket opposing La Fo ctte and headed by Gov. Emanuel Phlllpp. It would bo fairer to some of theso twenty-fou- r La Follette delegates to refer to them as P me,'-Du- t for tho purposes ot that which follows wo shall forego political quibble and cleave to political fact. We will not set forth In any great detail tho history or tho weird possibili- ties of tho Wisconsin wide open primary law. An nearly as may bo party affilia- tion Is extinct. A man may vote in but ono primary, but ho Is confined by no personal political precedent to any ticket. It so happens that while tho Socialists of tho Fifth Congress district, tho north- ern half of Milwaukee county, have not been nblo to convince a sufficient num- ber of Wisconsin voters of their right eousness to make tho Socialist party a dangerous factor In State elections, they can it there is a spilt In the Republican party set themselves up as a balnneo of power. United the Republican party can carry the Stato by 100,000 and has. Tho Democrats swing a vote mat is ai most flnttered when referred to as negligible. ' Dope SbeeU Ilerlsed. Keeping thei-- e few facts in mind, con-ulil- the victory of Senator La Follette. It was more thnn an even bet In lots of places outside tho State of W laconsin that the Phlllnn ticket would win. This belief seemed to be hased on the gen eral conception that Senator Ia toi- lette was politically defunct; that the moro or less appropriately named \Bat- tle Bob\ of pre-w- days had gone flabby and that his avowed Intention of retiring from the field when his 'present term expires was Inspired not so much by Illness as by his growing political Im- potence. Then, when he came through the recent primaries with nis siaio ai most Intact the uninformed began re vising their dope sheets and campaign guesses. The truth of the mater is Just this Senator La Follette's twenty-fou- r dele gates were elected by Victor Berger. Gov. Phlllpp was defeated by Gov. Phll- lpp even, moro than by Victor Berger. Gov. PhlllPD's once enthusiastic follow ing has deserted him. but still remains Republican. In a Stato where personal ity Is a moro powerful factor in politics than party or platform, Gov. Phlllpp has iome to the end of his string. In a mo- ment it will be shown by figures and then by conditions that tho once defiant La Follette, than whom there has been no more powerful personality In the po- litical history of this part of the country, has come to his own jumping off place. And oven the lotost primaries conclu sively prove that tho Socialist following of Victor Berger is no more numerous than It was last January, when he de- feated Henry H. Bodenstnb for that still vacant chair In Congress. Thcro Is no other Socialist etemcnt here. Further-mor- e, theso same recent primaries com- - pare In fidelity with other primaries that were followed by the usual huge Republican vote. Therefore, there is no reason to say that the normal Repub lican vote In Wisconsin is cither greater or less than heretofore.

All thin leaves tho leadership if tho Republican party In Wisconsin to tho only man who took no active part In tho fight for delegates to tho national con- vention, Irvlno L. Lcnroot. Junior United States Sonator. To Senator Lenroot logically falls not only thev leadership of tho Republicans In Wisconsin, but of a Republican voto rapidly uniting again, now that La Follette, despite the elec- tion of his delegates, Is truly at the cnl of his tether. Of course, you will get no such ad- mission as this from Senator La Fol- lette. And Gov. Phlllpp will admit of no diminution of personal power. But your correspondent went to Victor Berger and put the mattor up1 to him. After his usual barage of personal exploita- tion, and straight socialistic optimism, ho said: \As for Senator La Follette, the vote cast in Wisconsin for the delegates to tiio Republican convention with the La Folletto label, was very largoly not a nllhpnM . wh.niv.r h Ta Fol.' .imr,i \oca ltepUDliyuiijuro nucinusi lar Republican or Democrat, and thcro niiraci tno oociausc voters, sucji an uui , como g wo aw on Apr ls kciy l0 \But no La Follette slato will be able to carry Wisconsin when the Socialist party has Its own ticket lft the field. Moreover, Wisconsin votors will very soon find out that the La Folletto dele- gates can hnvo absolutely no Influence In a Republican convention. \Wo Socialists did not want to Rive Gov. Phlllpp the satisfaction of carry- ing the State against any over La Fol- lette. These considerations cannot hold good next fall. Then wo will havo to put up candidates at the primaries for the nomination of a State, Congressional nnd Legislative ticket. Wo will then be compelled to go Into the election with might and main, and select our own men who will stand for our principles nnd for our Ideas.\ Stntlatlrnl Analysis. A statistical analysis of the primary voting shows tho Berger influence In ill La Follette victory moro clearly than any other agency, nnd here you have It: Thoro were 18S.314 votes cast for Phlllpp and Thompson. Thompson re- ceived 117,597 and the Governor 70,747. Tho combined vote Is 32.G43 moro than tho voto for Phlllpp at tho election In 191s. when ho received 135,799. Seldel. jtlie Socialist candidate, received D7.523. Tho difference between the primary vote of 1920 and the voto at tho election In 191S Is tn those 37,000 Socialist votes. Tho primary Republican vote In 1920 Is 24,361 more than Lenroot received when ho ran for Senator In April. 1918. At that election .Senator Lcnroot received 46.386 more votes than were cast for Thompson In 1920. Tho combined yote for Thomp- son und Lenroot In the primary was only 143.95S. and Berger received 28,564 votes. In tho 1920 primary Phlllpp re- ceived about the same voto as did Thompson in tho 1918 primary for Sen- ator. But this year there were no So- cialist candidates. Add tho Berger voto of 1918 to tho Thompson voto of that year and tho result Is 111,750, or within 5,847 of the voto for Thompson In 1920. Senator Lenroot took no part In the Wisconsin primaries ; lie had no part In the writing of the regular Republican ticket. Ho refused to run as a delegate at larjft on n slato encumbered by the waning popularity of Gov. Phlllpp and against a hybrid ticket sponsored by Socialists, La Follette Irregulars and Way Democrats. It appears to be a virtual certainty that Joseph B. Davles, former chaUjfnan of the Federal Trade Commission, will be Lenroot's Democratic opponent for the Senate In November. Davlcs- - op- posed Senator Lenroot two years ago. Either Victor Berger or his chief edit- orial Writer, Oscar Ameringer, will be the Socialist candidate. James Thomp- son will be the La Follette candidate and of course- Senator Lenroot will en- deavor to succeed himself. Senator La Folletto will not figure In the contest at all. Ills health Is falling and his most recent trip to the Mayo Hospital in Rochester has shown Mm that a major operation Is Imperative. His closest friends agreo that Just this alone will preclude his taking active Control of Thompson's campaign,, and without La Follette at his side Thomp- son loses much of his political GOVERNOR FACES BIG . LAW MAKING TASK Begins To-da- y an Attack on Pllo of Bills .rasscd to Him for Signature. ntOBLEMS TO BE SOLVED Action on Somo Measures Will Determine Issues in Stato Campaign. Bptdal to Tns Ren An Nsw Yon Risai-p- . A lb an r, May 2. Facing the most dif- ficult task he has had to solve since he stepped Into tho front olllco In the State Cjpltol a year and a half 'ago, Oovernir Smith begins the serious work of trying to bring some sort of or- der out of the chaos left by the \brain- storm Legislature.\ Literally with Ills coat off, tho Governor nt nine o'clock mornlns will, plunge Into the stacks of linlf digested bills and will not emcrgo until ho has thrown out hun- dreds ot proposed Inws and added as many moro to tho statutes of this State, Working always with the question of partisan ndvantngo In view, the Repub-llf- n Hennte and Assembly have strewn tho Governor's way with pitfalls. Ho ls trying to avoid them, but even his clos- est advisers admit' the danger. Tho political theory which appears to have dominated the Republican lawmak- ers In loading down the Governor with a mass of controversial bills was that ho would be n candidate for reolectlon next fall. The legislative leaders havo sought, through forcing tho Governor to veto or approve bills, to break his strength with 'a score of Important Kroups of voters. Ho cannot a'ct either way on many of tho measures before him without offending some one. No- body knows It better than the Governor. It appears to bo accepted In Demo- cratic circles as almost a certainty that tho Governor will be renominated. His close friends declare tho Governor docs not want a rcnomlnatlon : would be de- lighted If a way out could bo found. But the opportunity for1 him to escape, running again seems remote. The party' will bo compelled to endorse his record and call on him to' bo a candidate Ht;aln If tho party calls the Governor will bo bound to ncccpt. Even the optimistic Democratic leaders admit that this looks like a badyear for their party In this State, but even If defeat seems almost certain they say tho Governor will havo to stand up to the tost, Tho issues of tho Stato campaign un- questionably will bo determined by the Governor's action on tho big bills now beforo him. Tho opinion in the capital ls that he will veto the bills repealing the daylight saving law, thereby further so- lidifying tho rural Republican vote, which is dead set against the law, but making friends In the cities. He ls ex- pected to approve the 2.75 beer bill, fur- ther Btlrrlng the wrath of the dry forces of the State ; to throw out the Republi- can reconstruction bills, which tho con- servative business' Interests demand ; to kill most of the local \pork\ measures and many of the special measures re- lating to New York. What action he will take on the Walker boxing bill and the sedition bills Is entirely in doubt, as ho has in no way Indicated his views. The Governor's close Democratic friends be- lieve ho will approve the boxing bill. BITTER FIGHT FOR SPEAKER ASSURED Fearon and Machold Factions Ready for Fray.
