FAVORITE SONS
NOT FRONNED ON
President Not Committed,
and ToSSeS Crumbs
10 All.
Knox and Cannon BoomS
in Home States Are
Satisfactory.

Some change has come over the spirit
OF the White House dreams political
A few weeks ago the White House was
issuing announcements against favorite
son movements. FsvOrite sons, 1t was
declared, were to be part of the con-
spiracy for the undolng OF Roosevelt
policies. They must and would be sup
pressed.
But now things are different. The
Cannon favorite son movement in Hi
nois appears to have no Administration
opposition; instead the Speaker lunches
with the President, there is the utmost
cordiaIity. he is assured that the White
House never gave out any stories that
he was a reactionary, and doesn't think
ne is one.
Likewise the Knox boom in Pennsyl-
vania The manager OF the machine In
that State. Senator knON.s Senatorial
colleague. was credited with most dis
tinguishiug. II not distinguished, part
in the conspiracy against Admlnlstra-
ton policies.
Now the President is quoted by callers
from Pennsylvania as declaring ms
great friendship and admiration Tor
Knox. and indOrsing him as man
whose services in Cabinet and Senate
have been most useful.
The Fairbanks movement in Indiana
is not TO be interfered with. Likewise
La Toilette is credited with earnest sup
port OF Administration policies
The President. according to some of
his close friends, is not disposed thus
early in the game to put all his eggs
into one basket There is no pressing
reason why the President should ire
vocably commit himself. He is tossing
crumbs of comfort and favor to some
fsvorite sons. making the others hope
that they will get their share later,
and keeping them all in a mind 10 be
good, and to hope for a greater share
of Administration favor later.
