Crane OF Chicago, wealthy banker and
supporter OF La Toilette in his campaign

cratic national campaign committee.
Governor Woodrow Wilson had the
name OF M. Crane under consideration

had been agreed upon by himself and Ma

favorably toward the candidacy OF Gov
ernor Wilson
The announcement that Joseph F..
Davies of Wisconsin, secretary OF the
national committee. would be in charge
OF the Wilson headquarters at Chicago,
acting there also as assistant treasurer,
added some strength TO the probability
that Mr.. Crane would be selected as ma
tional committee treasurer because OF the
friendship between Messrs. Davies and
Crane.
