GOVERNORS AS CANDIDATES..

The asprants for the Democratic
Presidential honors almost uniform
" are governors. There are Wilson,
OF New Jersey: Harmon. OF ONO:
Foss, of Massachusetts: Marshall, OF
Indiana: Burke. OF North Dakota:
and Baldwin. OF Connecticut. If We IN
clude ravorilc sons with active candl-
dates. This is q strong list OF tai
ent and probably it will be enlarged
before it is cut down TO the winner.
The possible aspirants who are not
now chief executives are Folk OF Mis-
souri,, who few years ago was
governor of the state: Underwood OF
Alabama Clark OF Missouri and Bry-
an OF Nebraska. So out of the
entire list only three have not been
governors. This trio has had lcGiS-
lative experience, Clark and Under
wood each serving eight terms III the
House, while Bryan had two terms
in Congress in the early ninctics.
In the last quarter OF century
the men who have come 10 the front
and won White House honors almost
uniformly had made their regulations
as executives. Cleveland and RooSc-
welt had the highest honurS in New
York: Mckinley had been governor
of Ohio, with legislative experience
also: while Tafts work as governor
general OF the Philippines brought
him national attention.
Clearly the tendency is to promote
the men who have made good IL
governors. Tho theory apparently
is that if sovereign state has been
well pilotcd the affairs Of the whole
country can DC entrusted with conf
dencc 10 the person who has thus
shown capacity.

Theoretically, says jeweler, the
best watches OF today are perfect,
but actually they both gain and lose
time every day. Even if the good
watch does not vary one second at
the end of the "a hours, the expert
insists il has both gained and lost in
that time. IF it Is wound in the MORN
ing, it runs fast. and toward the next
morning runs slow, thus equalizing
the time. He says the best watches
