Demos at Loss for Issues in Coming Election \\ oods Ful! of Candidates Waiting to Be Picked—Dif ferent Groups Represent Diversity of Ioterests. Ity GEORGE K. At TIIIER. M imiiliiKto'i ( 'orre-pomlent The OmnJiA Bee. Washington, Jan. 24. — (Special.) — Frobably never in the history of a political party has the democratic or ganization approached a great cam paign with less certainty ns to its is sues or Its candidates .than the demo cratic party is approaching the next national election. The woods are fill ed with possible candidates, but not even the seventh son of a seventh son could venture to predict now, who who will be the party's loader. Tho uncertainty as to leadership is connected with tlio uncertainty as to issues, resulting in a gr .up of candi dates of the utmost diversity of views. Home of them are conserva tives like Oscar Underwood of Ala bama: some of them are progressives like. Bryan of Nebraska, some are wet and some are dry. while still eth os run the gamut concerning the great Wilsoniun issue of the league of r nations. Keeling Out Situation. .lust now those various candidates are feeling nut the situation. William Jennings Bryan has been in Wash intgon, pleading with his party ns seriates not to allow Hie organiza tion to he sold out to the wets plus a number of good, redhot, Bry nnesque Is.sups on other questions. William Gibbs McAdoo has been in the city, and rather significantly has lodged at l lie house of his father-in law, former President Wilson. The significance of this is that regardless of positive strenght which the former president may have in the next demo cratic convention, lie is likely to possess the veto power and no candi date will care to go into the fray with the Wilson proscription marked down against him. It is barely possible Mr. McAdoo has desired to convey the subtle suggestion that Mr. Wilson does not object to the candidacy of his son in law. Seize on Suggestion. The former president’s daughter. Mrs. McAdoo, accompanied her ^ps band, giving lhe visit an atmosphere of mnlly reunion, hut politicans In Washington nre quick to seize on suggestions, and they are wondering. Mr. McAdoo's only comment on his reported candidacy w-as ''bunk," but this, also, deceived no one. In the meantime. Mr. McAdoo Is maintain ing silence while oiher possible candi dates, like former Odvornor Cox of Ohio, nro doing a great deal of pub lic talking. No one questions the shrewdness of Mr. McAdoo. The less he talks now, the less he will have to explain ljitcr. Former (lovenor Cox, on the con trary, is n perfect Vesuvius of Utter ance and this much of prophecy might be safe now. Governor Cox is prob ably less likely to figure in the next democratic) convention deliberations than almost any one of a score of leaders. Homer Cummings Out. Homer Cummings of Connecticut is also bolit vi d out of the race and thte same is probably true of Senator Pomerene cf < >hio. Had Senator Pom-1 erenti won' in the last election, he would have been a strong contender, although bis conservative labor rec ord would probably have rendered him unavailable. Of the conservative group. Senator Underwood of Alabama is probably the strongest candidate in the field and it is well known in Washington the Alabaman is already engaged in lining up his strength. He made a good showing at Baltimore and will probably have his following at the next convention. His friends believe the time has come when a southern democrat can lie considered. Besides, the conservative element in the demo cratic party will naturally line up be hind him. It is unlikely, however, that Underwood will have the Wilson support. He was one of President Harding's delegates to the disarma ment conference and helped put the ratification of the conference treaties through tlie senate. Besides, the gen eral trend of affairs would indicate the parts will take a more radical stand than the record of Senator Un derwood would justify as a candidate. Clark Candidacy Looms. Former Justice Clark of Ohio is a candidate who will have to be reckon ed with. He is a Wilson supporter, hails from Ohio and Is regarded as being of presidential size. The chief question concerning his candidacy is whether or not the demoeratlo party will care to take up the issue of the league as Wilson left it and 09 Mr. Clark approves it. Many democratic leaders nre now hedging on this is sue, saying that while the league was a step in the right direction, the trea ty of Versailles was a monumental Ml L JQniRVMIk iTOMWAllliTlirl Take die ache out of toothache—Rub the outside of the cheek with baumebenguE (ANALOtliaVl > —dtygum and apply Beo-Gay sparingly At aoy Drug Store—Keep a tube handy TW Lee mins & Co.. N. Y„ Amer. Aaean blunder and will have to be changed before peace can be brought to the world. However, while the party ia ap ' praising it* leaders, the wet and dry | issue continues to vex it. There is no question but the party is developing I an increasing tendency to stand for modification of the Volstead law, be Ueving it will enable them to carry some of the larger northern state, notably,New York, and that the south will come through as usual, regard less. In tilts they Will have to reckon upon the opposition of Erysn, The Nebraskan has been preaching the temperance issue for so long that the rank and file of the party In the west will be likely to revolt with him. Of the “wet” candidates, former .Secretary of State Bninbridge stannds out as a possible selection, although his standing with the party is not any too strong. However, he looms up as more real presidential timber than such staunch adherents of the “wet” cause as Governor A1 Smith of New York or Senator Edwards of New Jersey. John W. Davis of West Vir ginia ia an unknown quantity in the presidential situation, who will have to be considered. Test in Wmt. Peculiarly enough, tho first test of strength on both democratic and re publican candidates will coma In a western state. The South Dakota law provides that In Its convention In De cember next, it will have to endorse a candidate. The best informed lead ers front that stale say they have not the slightest knowledge ns to whom the South Dakota voters will prefer at that time. This test is just a little less than n year hence and already the leaders are beginning to angle for the South Dakota endorsement be cause) of the prestige that will go with it. • Still nnotlier possible candidate who has all the leaders guessing Is Henry I-'ord. the multimillionaire automobile manufacturer of Detroit. one1 I : knows «xactly the politics of Mr. [ Ford, bu* it Is assumed that if he goes out offer the nomination it will ! 1>« as a democrat. Just now the , country is flooded with books on ‘Ford, magazine articles on Ford, not to mention a flood of Ford advertis ing. With his great wealth, his ad vertising asset and his peculiar hold on ’4lie public, Mr. Ford Is recognized as a man who might upset a great number of apple carts in the next election. There is a growing feeling in Wash ington that Ford has been stung bad ly by the presidential bee. Newspapers Blamed for Credit Withdrawal Lincoln. Jan. 24. — (Special.) — Former Governor S. It. McKelvie. in an address before the Lincoln Real tors’ association, blamed the news papers for the withdrawal of eastern credit to Nebraska farmers. The ex-governor assorted that news stories which were sent east telling of Nebraska farmers burning corn and other similar Incidents resulted in creating an impression that the Ne braska farmer was down and out.
