md if Cox wants the Ohio delegation
for himself in the democratic conven
tion next vear there is nothing to pre
vent hla going after it- The posses
slon of the Ohio delegation—if he
should go after it and get it—would at
least give to Cox a leverage in the
convention out of whieli a resourceful
man might lie able to make much.
He's Out. leaders Assume.
When this hos been said it Is about
ail that can lie said for Cox's chances.
The undeniable fart necessary to be
included in any statement of the sit
nation as it exists today is that most
of the party leaders take it fur grant
ed that Cox is out of it.
There is one respect, however, in j
which 1 here is just a poselbtltty that
cox may fool them all. When Cox .
adopted the Wilson issue lie did not
do it merely a» a matter of expediency
- as a mere matter of comparing two
paths and choosing the one that
seemed to him more promising for the
purpose of the campaign. Cox's adop-I
tion of the Wilson policy of Interna
i.onal cooperation was no such thing
n< this. It was a genuine conversion,
lie look on an almost evangelistic fer „
t, r i'ox really became tnoceulated
with the fundamental idea, that we
, .innot have a happy and p rose pro u a
world until we have International en
operation and until the United states
does Its part in it. Having tills depth
of conviction. Cox was not disturbed
in it by the disastrous effect it had on
his own political fortunes. Ho clung
to it and during the intervening time
his devotion to it has become steadily
stronger. Regardless of how his per
sonal political fortunes may he af
fected by Ills relation to this issue,
l ox regards international co-operation
as a sacred cause.
Willing to He SpokfiiillH
Because of his absorption in it he. is ,
probably a little more able and a
little more willing to be the spokes
man and leader of this issue than al
most any one uf the other men men
tinned in connection with the demo
cratic nomination. Cox can talk In
ternational co-operation with more
enthusiasm and lead a crusade in that
interest with more energy than al
most anybody else except Wilson him
self when he was In good health. If
it should happen that International
cooperation should be the leading is
sue in 1934 it might turn out that
Cox's inner fire on this subject would
he such ns to make him available for
iY\f' nomination.
So much for Cnx
Friend William O McAdoo of I.os
Angeles was In our town for several
days last week, it "as Ids first a ‘"it
to bis old friends and associate* hero
since he made his migration from
New York tn the more salubrious
i lirnate of Los Angeles (More salubri
ous. in his case, not only in Hie sense
of being more kindly to his bronchial
pa-.sages, but more salubrious, al.”".
political!' for while Mr. McAdoo ns
a cltixen of New York could not get
the solid delegation of his stale in a
democratic national convention. h>
. an and will ha\e a solid and most
enthusiastic delegation from Califor
run.
Health and High Spirits.
, Th" health ana hign spirits of Mr.
McAdoo were really.so striking as to
be a matter of general comment to a
town that had observed him grow
pretty tired under the strain of run
ning the United States treasury din
ing Hie war. The Los Angeles chum
bee of Commerce could well afford to
finance a presidential campaign tour
of the country for Mr. McAdoo, just
a* an ad\ertisement of th - southern
California air. Ills long legs step out
ill a way that suggests his complete
confidence In his capacity to take hold
of a rather madly muddled world and
make it go.
lie gave the Impression of buoyant
and confidently eager activity, as his
long strides took him about our local
streets—barring a witticism that be
came current about MeArJoo showing
a curious apprehensive nervousness
about being run down by a Ford, lie
seemed to justify once more the de
scription. written by Unde Henry,
“Collier's'' humorist, of McAdoo when
lie was first appointed secretary of
the treasury in 1913. and "came tear
In' into Washington, pants flappin’
and ears akimbo . . . For inces
sant movement Mac has got every
thing beat except a-centipede with St.
Vitus’ dance. . . . With him ns
president we would get along with
out any cabinets, boards, commis
sions an’ bureau heuds; and after he
got his stride there's a chance he
could do the window cleanin, and floor
scrubbin'."
Kemocratic Stimulus.
Mr. McAdoo’s presence here pave
unmistakably energetic mid pleasur
able stimulus to the local democrats.
There were democratic dinners at the
homes of democratic senators and
democratic conferences in the offices
of democratic congressmen. The air
became electric with it.
To bo sure, Arthur Brisbane re
ports Mr. MoAtJoo as having told him
that—the words are Mr. Brisbane's—
"he is not a candidate amt would not
consent to be nominated unless persu
aded that it was absolutely his du'y
to take the job."
Those words have a familiar sound.
One may justly suppose that it name
easy to Mr. Brisbane to write them.
Any experienced political journalist
could write them In his sleep. As a
journalist recording the actions, mo
tives and intentions of politicians for
several decades. Mr. Brisbane must
have written those same words a good
many times before. He has known
more candidates than tlie present
writer, who 1ms been familiar with
QMn« 10 men who got the ttumin^Uon
f one or another of the parties, and '
fully 10 tunes 10 who come within!
one degree or another of closeness to
suiting It; and those words would I
have described tho state of mind of
any one of them under the same cir j
cumstanees.
Formidably fo Front.
The fact is that -Mr. M-Adoo in
rattier more formidably to the front c
ns a possibility for the democratic
nomination next year than is realized j
by even many of those among the j
politicians who are distant from
Washington and not fully aware of
what is going on.
MoAdoo is hi an incomparably t
stronger position with respect to the
next national convention than he was I
to the 1921) one. In 1920 he was under
several handicaps, sortie of which do
not now exist, and some others of
which he can reidaly prevent from ex
tiding if he cares to. In 1920 MoAdoo
kept refusing to authorize his friends
to do anything In liis behalf, and
maintained this Attitude right up to ;
the deciding ballot of the convention.
If MoAdoo had felt free to add the j
weight of even a faint personal effort
on his own part; or if some of his
powerful friends had felt justified in
throwing their strength into the strug
gle without his assent, tho addition of
three elements to tho rather remark
able number of delegates who voted
for MoAdoo anyhow might readily
have given him the nomination.
At the time it was commonly un
derstood that MoAdoo's meticulous re
fraining front even tho shadow of a
motion in his own behalf was due to
concern about the fact that his fath
er in law was then president. The ma
licious chose to say that M-Ailoo was
holding himself because lie feared
that Mr. Wilson might have hopes of
getting the nomination himself, and
lie did not want to be in the position j
of being an impediment to ills own
father in law. But the more detached
preferred to sec more obvious reasons
for Mr. McAdoo’fl restraint.
Wilson Neutral.
Hr knew, as many of us knew—in.
spite of Hie wild charges of the re
publican?—that Wilson regarded as
an imperative propriety of his posi
lion in tlie White House that lie
should not so much as lift a finger
to affec t the choice of hie successor
in tlie nomination; and, of course, it
could not have been possible for a
member of his family to take part tn
ihe rare at all without by that act |
depriving Mr. Wilson of some of the
dignity and good faith of the position
he took.
This reason for Mr. McAdoo's self
restraint and for the restraint which
lie imposed upon some of his most
powerful friends in ifO does not now
exist. Ho far as he might come to
want the nomination, or so far as his
friends might want it for him, Jhey
will not lie deterred by the mere fact
that he Is Wilson's son ill law. True,
they will lie obliged to anticipate that
.f Mr. McAdoo should get the nomina
tion the republicans will probably re- j
new the jibes of “dynasty" a*nl
“crown prince" which they used to
fling at Mr McAdoo even during his
merely passive candidacy of 1920. Hut 1
these Jihes ill 1924 will have no such
relevancy ns the republicans believed
they had in 1920. And with Wilson j
out of the White House, no one will
be able to charge, as the republicans
expected to charge if McAdoo had
been nominated in 1920, that the \
president of the United Htates had
used the power of his office to nomi
nate liia own son In law for the suc
cession.
Comes Now llenry Ford.
The present article does not pretend j
to tie an adequate survey of the demo- !
eratic situation as it exists today. It j
does not purport to lie more than a
touching of two or three high spots, I
Hut >ou can’t pretend to touch even |
one high spot of the democratic situa
tion without alluding to Henry Ford, j
Tlie democratic leaders lioldvthe most
serious, and in some cases the most
somber, conviction, that Mr. Ford will
cut a large, even though probably er
ratic. figure in the situation. (The
more erratic It is, the larger it
may be.) I
Aside from what the papers print,
about Mr. Ford and the activities of
his advocates, the politicians hear,
through the grapevine and graveyard
communications of the fraternity, that
Mr. Ford or Mr. Ford's friends have
utterly impious notions of doing most
irregular tilings. They hear he may go
into the primaries of both the parties.
And however innoeent. even commend
able, it may seem to some of the
voters for a man to be a nonpartisan
or bipartisan candidate for the prosi- !
dency, to the.politicians it is the last J
word in heretic horror. They hear j
that the plan of Ford's friends is to
go first Into the republican primaries
and convention. The idea is not that
Ford could get (lie republican nomina
tion. That would be quite impossible.
Might Annex Adherents.
Tlie idea is that Ford, by entering
the republican primaries and conven
tion, could, by a familiar law' of human
nature, attach to liimseif a number of
adherents whose loyalty would lie such
that it would follow him into the
democratic party, or even into a third
party. Thereafter, the politicians hear,
it is the hope of Ford's friends to go
into the democratic primaries with the
intention of bringing about a stam
pede and compelling the democratic
leaders to face the dilemma of ai •
cepting him under the threat that
otherwise there will he a third party.
Whether or not Ford’s friends have
any such program as this, or what-j
ever Ford s course may turn out to
bp, the judgment of the politicians
is that there is very great latent senti- j
moot for Ford, if Ford's advocates
should have the good judgment to
manage things well, and the good lurk
I to avoid tiie mistakes to which ama
teurs in polities are liable, Ford might
readily turn up in the democratic con
vention with fully as many dele
i gates as any one of th* more or
thodox candidates.
