Especial Correspondence

Washington, Feb. Ex-Governor Foss,
Of Massachusetts, is the ii.a., who Is
now looming up as the most. probable
nominee OF the democrats for vice
president in case 1t turns out that
Speaker Champ Clark'is nominated for
president. In Clark circles about
Washington there is great deal OF
talk favorable to the nomination OF
Foss as running mate to the. speaker.
Another man who is being talked OF
for the nomination ofsvice president Is
William q Redfield. Of Brooklyn. who
represents the Fifth New York district
In the house.
The Clark leaders are looking toward
the nomination Of an eastern man on
the ticket with the Missourfan. provid-
ing. OF course, they win in the Balt1-
more convention. They have been look
Ing the field over pretty carefully and
F'oss seems to be about the most salts
factory proposition in sight. He is an
able politician, Is good campaigner
and has money. Besides, he would. as
the Clark smanagers figure 1t. be able
to turn Massachusetts over TO the dem :
ocrats in the election and thus batter
large dent in republican New England
Redfield likewise Is looked on favor
ably by some Of the Clark leaders. He
has wealth and. as a large manufactur-
er, would. 1t is thought, appeal to the
business elements. He would be Of ma
terial help in carrying New York.
Wilson Wants Western Man.
Senator O'Gorman, Of New York. IS
getting a good deal Of favorable men
tion for second place. However. he is
a Wilson man and for this reason little
is heard of putting him on the ticket In
Clark circles.
It iss generally accepted that II
Woodrow Wilson is nominated FOR
president by the democrats west
ern man will be picked for vice presl-
dent. However. even, with Wilson. the
probabilities are that Governor Eoss
would have much support for vice
president. Both Wilson and Foss would
be acceptable to the west despite the
fact they are both eastern men.
Wade to Manage II Clark Wins.
The talk is growing Of making
Judge Martin ]. Wade, OF Iowa. former
member OF the house. the national
chairman II Clark is nominated. Not
Ions. ago. Judge Wade was In WASH
ington and had a long conference with
Speaker Clark. 1t Is known the speaker
looks an Judge Wade as excellent tim
Der for the craftsmanship. tho there is
no indication that he is committed TO
him or any other man. Judge Wade has
had much political experience and 10
a member Of the committee on ar
of the democratic national
committee for the Baltimore conven-
ton. Mention is frequently made OF
nominating Judge Wade FOR vice presi-
dent. but II Clark is nominated 1t Will
be out Of the question &c pick the can
didate for vice president from the
neighboring state Of Iowa.
The Clark campaign is showing
every sign OF being we'll financed. A
prominent eastern capitalist is said to
have contributed largely. The Clark
leaders view Wilson as the man they
have to fight and do not regard either
Harmon or Underwood as formidable.
