McAdoo Future
Will Be Decided
at Chicago Meet
Loyally to Chief May Hold
His Supporters, but Leaders
Are Dubious He is Clear
of Taint of Oil.
By MARK SULLIVAN.
Washington. Feb. 14.—'The McAdoo
t meeting in Chicago Friday of next
week and the things flint revolve
sbout it are principally the exclusive
subject of discussion among demo
cratic politicians and will continue so
until that meeting docldes whether
McAdoo is to run or not. Its im
portance Is little sltoft or that of a
national convention.
These discussions of democratic
leaders t/^rn first on the question
whether McAdoo can be nominated.
I Aa to that, it seems to be a fact, as
developed by inquiries throughout the
country, that the bulk of the local
McAdoo leaders in the various states
are going to stand by him. One cf
their reasons is sheer loyalty to s
fAiief for whom they have strong per
sonal affection. McAdoo has some of
those qualities of personality that
Roosevelt had and that Bryan had at
the height of his power, a kind of
magnetism that enlists Intense per
sonal devotion on the part of large
bodies of followers of warmly emo
tional temperatment. It Is these who
compose the heart of the strength of
any popular party leader. Again
and again this sort of devotion that
merely grows more intense in adver
sity preserved the political life of
Roosevelt and Bryan at times when
their more calmly intellectual friends
t hought their careers were ended.
Who can remember, after 25 years,
that connection of Bryan with a fa
mous will case in Connecticut? His
enemies, as' well as many nonpartisan
observers, thought at the time that
Bryan was destroyed. But he sur
vived to win two presidential nomi
nations from his party.
Leaders Are Dubious.
As'agalnet this re-enforced support
from the bulk of the local McAdoo
leaders in the various states, any ac
‘ urate picture of what has been talc
ing place ^Washington the last two
days must record the fact that a good
many of the strongest McAdoo men
in ths democratic party are now
dubious about both the possibility
and the desirability of nominating
McAdoo. They rejoice over McAdoo’s
complete success in clearing his -per
sonal and professional reputation.
They love him the more for the
gallant fighting instinct that made it
ids instant reaction to turn or\ hi*
detractors, and that led him to take
the daring step of calling this Chi
cago meeting and entrusting hi*
political fortunes to its discussion.
But they *ay there can be no denial
that McAdoo’s political availability' i*
not today what It was before the
Doheny Incident occurred. Their
heart* want to go on, but their in
tellects keep pointing to the handi
cap. The principal points they make
are these: “How can we,” they say,
“make the campaign on the issue of
extirpating (everything that Doheny
stood for out of our publio life, and
at the same time have ono of
Doheny'* lawyers as our candidate?”
, They occasionally draw dolefully
humorous picture* of a campaign in
which some fervid democratic orator
will be denouncing Doheny, and corns
malevolent person in the audience,
Dosslbly planted there by a fore
handed republican national commit
tee, will call out “Wasn't your candi
date one of this wicked man’* law
yer*.”
"You're Another” Is Feared.
Another point made by this par
ticular group of democrats is that the
republican* will not clean up this oil
mess as thoroughly as they otherwise
would, if they foresee that McAdoo
la to be their opponent Theyv say
that ordinarily the republicans, for
the sake of success if for no higher
reason, would get rid of every man
even remotely connected with the oil
scandal, would clean house to the
bone, and would embrace wholly th*
principle of conservation. But they
say that if McAdoo Is to be the demo
cratic candidate, the republican* will
be tempted to rely to some extent on
conducting the campaign, even
advErtisEment!

In little water blisters. It itched
badly causing me to

would burn like fire. I
could hardly stand it
at times. My hair be
gan falling out and be
came very dry and thin.

■bout tlx months. I began using
Cutlcura Soap and Ointment and
after using three calcea of Cutlcuia
Soap and three boxes of Cutlcura

though unfairly, on the issue of
"rou're another.”
The decision about nominating Mc
Adoo or not nominating him is af
fected greatly by the fact that there
is no real substitute for hlui, no one
who combines anything even approxi
mating all tlie elements of strtngth
McAdoo had before the Dohenv Inci
dent. When the McAdoo men consider
alternatives, they are in despair. As
to nearly everyone suggested, there
is one "but” or another. During the
past two days, most of the talk of
someone in place of McAdoo lias re
volved around Senator Carter Glass
of Virginia and Senator Ralston of
Indiana. Up to the past tjvo weeks,
Ralston had not been considered very
seriously as a candidate, and had
hardly been regarded at all as being
closely identified with the progres
sive wing of the democrats. It now
turns out, however, that Ralston was
himself a McAdoo man in 1920 and Is
looked upon favorably by progressive
democratic leaders as an acceptable
substitute for McAdoo if they are
compelled to find one. In Ralston’s
^ase, one of the "huts” is his age,
which was 67 the first of last De
cember.
The purpose of the Chicago meet
ing is not merely a post mortem con
sideration of dlsasler but a railsing of
all progressives, not only democratic
progressives, but farmer progressives,
labor progressives, and progressives
from every element of the community.
It Is the intention to make any third
party unnecessary, and to have the
democratic party this year provide an
adequate home for all progtessives
it is ■completely taken for granted
that whether the decision of the Chi
cago meeting is for or against con
tinuing to try to nominate McAdoo,
he will put all his energies into the
progressive fight.
