G. O. P. DARK HORSE MAY WIN IF CLOSE RACE DEVELOPS Candidates Discussed by Sullivan ^ays Coolidge Must Show His Stuff Up to Last If He Is to Be Nomi nated. Ford Is ‘Rocking Along’ By MARK SULLIVAN. If all the republican primaries In 'he various states should be held next neek, and If the republican national ■ onventlon should be held, let us say. 'ecember 1, Coolidge would get the nomination on the first ballot. He '.ould enter the convention with irobably 750 out of the 1,036 dele ates. And of the 286 that he would not have about 186 would be chiefly ’or men who. when they saw the hopelessness of their position, would release their delegates and let them vote for Coolidge. The other hundred ■lelegatess not for ffloolldge would be for La Follette, and La Follette would -rimly hold on to them to the end. to that If the convention were to be held the 1st of December the first allot would probably result somewhat s follows: oolldge . 336 La Follette . 100 This la, of course, an utterly fan 'astlc assumption—this hypothesis of ADVERTISEMENT.

It is an assumption based on conditions that are only be ginning to develop. Of all the poten tial opposition that may arise to Cool ldge during the coming seven months only four or five possibilities have progressed to a point where, if the convention were held now, they would have any delegates at all. Tho actual disposition of the 1,036 delegates who will compose the next republican convention, if that conven tion were held in the immediate future, would be somewhat as follows: Coolidge . ”00 Pinchot . 55 Hiram Johnson. 43 Henry Ford. 63 La Foliette . 100 Lowden . 33 Other candidates. 50 Total ........1,036 Let it be repeated: This is a wholly fantastic assumption and it is not meant to have any more vaiue than a starting point for a discjsslon of what may happen between now and the actual holding of the convention during the first or second week of June. It merely represents what would happen if through some im possible emergency the votes would have to he cast as the situation stands. The compilation merely rep resents what would happen If the various candidates other than Cool idge were prevented from doing any more work or making any more pro gress than they have already made and if the party leaders were com pelled to show their hands without time or opportunity to adjust them selves to future conditions. It is possible that Coolidge may continue to have this same relative preponderance right up to the hold ing of the convention, but this is not probable. It is a greater possibil ity for Coolidge to maintain enough preponderance to have more than a majority of the delegates on the first ballot. It is a still greater pos sibility for Mr. Coolidge to have less than the majority on the first ballot, but still to have such a preponder ance as to cause his rivals to see the hopelessness of the fight and to throw their strength to Coolidge. All these are possibilities of one degree or another, but the complete list of pos sibilities obviously must include a possibility In some degree, faint or large, that Coolidge, when June comes, may not have so great a lead as to insure him the nomination and that some rival may get In. As things stand today, this is a remote possi bility. But It must obviously be in cluded in any setting down of all tha things tijat may happen. Time Will Tell. Whatever Is to happen Is Imme diately ahead of us. As little as four weeks from now It will ba pos sible to make an estimate of much greater dependability than the frank ly and extremely tentative computa tion set down above. The most Immediate developments depend on what Is done in the near future by Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania and Senator Hiram Johnson of California. At this writ ing neither of these men is a formal or avowed candidate. At almost any moment they may become formal and avowed candidates, though If they wait beyond the middle of December their chances of success will begin to diminish rapidly. Although Fine-hot and .Johnson are not formal candidates and have not avowed themselves as candidates, nevertheless. If any experienced poli tician were asked to summarize the status of these two men he would say, without much doubt, that they are cand dates for the presidency. They have not avowed themselves, but their friends have, and in one degree or another the friends of each of these two men are engaged in activi ties of a kind which makes it neces sary to regard them as candidates and creates the practically certain presumption that within a short time they will become candidates in the formal sense. If Senator Hiram Johnson throws his hat in the r^ng—or has it thrown in for him by his friends—he will probably have, to start with, the 28 delegates from California. Senator Johnson and his friends are already fighting for these dlegates, although Senator Johnson makes his f.ght on the ground that he merely wanta ac ceptable men to be chosen and re frains from putting his fight for the California delegation on the ground that he wants them a supporter of himself for the nomination. The phrase Johnson uses is “Without re gard for myself." Every practl<,al politician knows, however, that Sen ator Johnson cannot continue to fight for the naming of the Cal.fornla dele gates without coming to a p«i«t where he must announce that he wants them as supporters of his own candidacy. Even if events outside of Caltfor/ila and the activities of Sen ator JohnHon's partisans generally did not bring him Into the race, the mere nature of the situation In which he new Is in his home state of California will compel him sooner or later to avow himself as a candidate. In addition to the 28 delegates from his horns state of California, Senator Johnson, as things stand today, Is likely to have some portion of the 60 delegates from Illinois. Beyond these two states, whatever Senator Johnson may have depends wholly on the effectiveness of the cam paign made In his behalf during the coming winter months. Ons of Sen ator Johnson’s backers with whom ths writer has recently talked thinks that Johnson will have some or all of the delegates from Indiana. Ths present writer doubts this very much. But Senator Johnson's friends stick stub bornly to this hope. They base this optimistic expectation on ths really remarkable record that Johnson made In Indiana In 1920, when, on the basis of no more resources than a few speeches made by himself In the stats, hn made a rather remarkable showing ngnln.'t immense resources of money and organization In behalf of some of the other candidates In that year. But since 1920 several things have happened In Indiana and In the re latlon of Johnson, his friends and his policies In Indiana—things too complex to repeut In detail here. The net of them Is. however, that the pres ent writer’s belief Is that Johnson can not possibly do ns well In Indiana the corning year ns he did In 1920. These name supporters of Senator Johnson believe that with the fielp of the llearet papers, which he will un doubtedly have, Johnson may carry | New York. Here again the writer has doubts. It has come to be the rule In recent elections that He&rst, with his papers, has a great deal of political power In New York state. Undoubtedly Hearat and his papers will work furiously for Johnson and will have a great deal of effect. John son himself has said that he can car ry New York moro readily than he can carry California, If this estimate of his own strength Is correct the 92 delegates from New York, or even any considerable fraction of those delegates, would make not only a for midable addition to Johnson's body of delegates, but would have a large ef fect throughout the country on the sentiment of politicians by demon strating his capacity. Best Vote-Getter Wins. The hopes of Johnson's friends rest frankly on what demonstration he can make as a vote-getter. They think that if they can stage In a few states a clearly defined Issue between Johnson and Coolldge, and If they can bring It about that John son shall show a markedly greater vote-getting capacity than Coolldge, then In that event the party leaders whose Interest lies primarily In hav ing the candidate who is the moat effective vote-getter will he led to look on him with favor. Every re publican leader knows that the elec tion next year is not going to be as easy for the republicans to win as it was In 1820. The conditions are utterly different. This being so, they are the mose likely In their final determination to consider the demonstrated vote-getting capacity of the various candidates. As one dt Senator Johnson's friends has ex pressed the Johnson hope. "If on the day the convention meets the party leaders think they can win with Cool ldge then they will name Coolldge. But If they think that they can win more surely with Johnson than they can with anybody else, then they will name Johnson.” Broadly speaking, there Is much in this, although it Is subject to some qualification. Plnchot, like Johnson, Is not a can didate In the formal or avowed sense. But In Plnchot’* case, as In John son's case, there are friends at work and forces in operation such rb cause most politicians to say without much qualification that Plnchot la running or being run, for the presidency right now. Plnchot will have a fight In his own home state. In the Pennsylvania re publican organization there Is a cleav age, with Plnchot on one side and Senator Pepper, Senator Reed and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon In one degree or another on the oppo site side. If Plnchot and Plnchot's friends maks a light for the Pennsyl vania delegation of 78 members the others will oppose him. Presumably they will oppose him In the Interest of Coolidge. If they had their Ideal wish they would probably like to take the entire Pennsylvania delegation to the convention uninstructed. But if Plnchot make a fight this thing Is Impossible. With Pinchot fighting for the delegation for himself, the opposi tion to him will be compelled to fight not for the abstraction of an untn structed delegation but for some defi nite person. The old political axiom that you cannot fight somebody with nobody is an actual law in politics. In the circumstances, the opposition to Plnchot will almost certainly make their fight for the Pennsydvanla del egation on the ground that they want It for Coolidge. In such a fight within Pennsylvania probably the outcome will he that Plnchot will get close to half the delegates and the op position will get close to half. Both within Pennsylvania and out side of It the Plnchot fight will be made on the Issue of prohibition. Pln chot has succeeded in creating tho Impression that he Is more dry thnn the administration la. As between Plnchot and Coolldge, Plnchot has brought It about that the Issue Is be tween dry and less dry. On this Issue Plnchot will have the drys. And In the republican primaries and almost all the direct primary states In any Issue between dry and less dry the drys will win. If It should he a square light In all the direct primary states between Plnchot and Coolldge. uncom plicated by other candidacies or other Issues, Plnchot would make a very strong showing. But two things re main to be said: One Is that Plnchot might win all the direct primary states and at 111 have something short of enough delegates to nominate him. The delegates in the nonprimary states who will he named more or less by the local party leaders will be pre vailingly against Pinchlt. Also. It la a certainty that the fight will not be a simple tug of war between two men. Coolldge and Plnchot. If Plnchot Is In the fight at all others will he In It. and It will be a free-for-all race. In which theae two candidates nnd thts particular dry Issue will be compli cated and modified by the favor of „thcr candidates and by other Issues. Ford Rocking Along The position of ex-Governor Ixtw den of Illinois differ* from that of Plnchot and Johnson. There are sev eral spots In the country, both In Illinois and outside It. where friends of ex-Qovernor Lowden are actively working to push him toward the re publican nomination. But It Is ap parent that Lowden hlmaelf contl uea to remain not an active candl date and without that sympathetic reception of the support of his fol lowers which some others give to their followers. Close observers in Illinois infer that ex-Governor Low den's state of mind is somewhat like this: if Senator Johnson or anybody else other than Coolldge tries to get the Illinois delegation, in that event Lowden himself will be a candidate. But the presumption is that he will be a candidate primarily In the inter est of Coolldge—that he will try to carry the state for the sake of con trolling the delegation in the conven tion and with the intention more or less of putting the delegation at the disposition of Coolidge, provided it appears at the time the convention happens that Coolldge Is the leading candidate and the first choice of the bulk of the party leaders. At the same time Lowden will he in a posi tion to be in residuary legatee of Coolidge if at the time of the conven tion it should appear to the party leaders inadvisable to name Coolidge. Henry Ford's attitude toward the talk of him for presidency is one of letting things "rock along." As he occasionally puts It himself, "It is in the lap of the gods." If Mr. Ford enntlnues to maintain this atti tude his friends in several states will enter him in the republican primaries. And Ford's strength is such that even without his express assent and even without his active personal co operation something like 60 or 60 delegates would be named for him In those states where he Is most ADVERTISEMENT, NEW METHOD HEALSRUPTURE Kansas City Doctor's Discovery .

(It is a fact also that If Ford continues to maintain his pres ent attitude the same thing will be done In the democratic primaries, and he will have about the same num ber of delegates In the democratic convention.) La Follette will certainly be a can didate. There need be no "lfa" In the consideration of his candidacy. He wijl run, and the only question Is, How many delegates will he accumu late? He will almost certainly have the 28 from Wisconsin. And he will probably have, In addition, enough others from the more radical sections of the middle west and west to make up the maximum of a hundred. A hundred, however, or thereabouts, will be the outside maximum of his possi blt strength. This hundred that La Follette will have will be completely at his disposal. He can vote them for himself, and in most contingencies the probability is that he will con tinue to vote them for himself (up to the very last ballot. It is always a possible contingency, however, that he might be a decisive factor In the convention by throwing his following to some one else. If the later stages of the convention should take the form of a tug of war between an avowed conservative and an avowed radical La Follette might release his delegates from voting for him person ally and throw them In balance in favor of the radical. If the race becomes an open Held, with many candidates, there will be other entrants besides those mention ed here. The friends of Senator Wat son, of Indiana, think he could get the delegates from his own state, as well as those from Oklahoma tand some from Ohio. They think also that, with this toe hold In the con vention, they might be able, In the event of an equilibrium arising, to make Senator Watson the favorite of the conservatives generally. While this hope Is entertained by some of Senator Watson's friends. It la not shared by others. Another possibility is that If for any reason the nomination of Cool ldge should come to seem Inadvisable to the party leaders and If an equllib rlum should revelop among several candidates, with none able to achieve a majority, In that event, the party leaders, with a view to putting for ward the best man without regard to his record in the campaign, might turn to some one not named here and not figuring In the preconvention campaign. Such a choice might fall anywhere, from a member of the cab inet like Hoover to some unknown, such as Harding was before the 1020 convention.
