Speyer & Co. received IL per cent for
floating the issue. and that the fact that
they had just been appointed fiscal agents
in London for the Navy Department OF
the United States had given them a
credit and standing which enabled them
more easily to sell the security. Senator
Lodge stated he had information from
some Of his friends abroad who had been |
''victimized."

pEnAWARE WANTS THE uDeEsHIP.

- ELAWAREANs, no doubt, are practically unit
- in the desire that Judge Victor 3. Woolley, or
other Delawarean Of equally good standing shall
b selected to succeed the Hon, George Gray judge
Of the United States District There to be
no division Of sentiment in this state upon that
point
The whole thing narrows down, therefore. to a
question Of the strength Of the influence Of United
States Senator willard Salisbury, a Democrat, with
President Wilson, another Democrat in favor Of Judge
Woolley still another Democrat
Following the election Of Mr. Wilson to the Presi-
dency Of Mr. Salisbury TO the Senate the Salisbury
this State proclaimed that their leader had such
pull with Wilson that he could get anything from the
White House that he desired" Subsequent events par
tcuary in the internal revenue collectorshlp tight did
much to shatter that confidence in the Salisbury
"pull" In that long struggle Senator Salisbury had
behind him the almost unanimous sentiment Of our
State the animating spirit being State pride and not
special regard for either Salisbury Raughey And
despite that backing, the junior Senator failed mis-
erabiy in the task OF getting the Office for Della
warean.
In the matter Of Judge woolley, Senator Salisbury
also will have the support of the sentiment Of
State. It will be stronger than was the sentiment
which prevailed in the Raughley case because Judge
Wooey is a different type OF man. AS a citizen,
lawyer and judge he has so comported himself
that he has the confidence and esteem OF every
one His appointment to the Federal bench would be
hailed with satisfaction from Brandywine the
north to Baltimore the south. The people want
him, other Delaware Democrat Of his type to
get the place.
Therefore, II Senator Salisbury really possesses
the White House pull" that he and his parsans pro-
fess that he has the time is opportune for him to
exercise 70 the complete satisfaction the Della
public For the sake OF that public, for the
sake Of Judge wooley. We hope the junior Senator's
present effort to display his pull" with the President
will not have the almost udicrous climax that featured
his work IN behalf of Alfred Raughley.

PRESIDENTIAL BEE

Washington Begins to Specu-

SibilitieS
WILSON TO BE
HIS PARTY CHOICE
BY BURTON h. STANDISH.
CWritten for the United Press

Il
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Washing-
ton is beginning to speculate serious
ly over 1916 Presidential possibilities.
Incoming political bees from Indiana,
New York, Idaho, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Kansas, are beginning to arouse
the capital. which for weeks past has
been honeycombed with possibilities
of war.
That President Wilson, his health
permitting, Will be urged by many
Democratic party leaders to accept a
second nomination, is conceded. That
Colonel Roosevelt, fresh from his con-
qest in South America, will get his
hat in the ring, is considered a good
bet That former President Taft is
out of all races for Republican party
honors is admitted by his best friends.
Should these indications become
facts, Wilson will be pitted against
the Progressive leader again. But In
the next campaign, the Colonel's
friends privately hope, Roosevelt will
be the Presidential choice of both
Progressives and Republicans.
There is a pretty big hive of politi-
cal bees, however, who are doing their
utmost to eliminate both Wilson and
Roosevelt. Some of them for instance
of course they are all loyal to their
party chiefs-are supporters of Ma
iority Leader Underwood, of Alabama.
Speaker Clark, Chief Counsel Folk, Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Governor Glynn, of New York, and
Secretary of State Bryan. Such is the
lineup of a Democratic possibilities.
Then when it comes time for the
Progressives to meet in National Con-
vention, Governor Johnson, of Cali
fornia, former Senator Beveridge, Of
Indiana, and other Progressives,
probably will find their supporters
lined up against T. R., maintaining
that that party viii stand a better
show with the colonel as "backer"
than would T. r. as a candidate.
The race the Republicans will have
to select from will have a wide range.
Senators Borah, La Toilette, and
Cummins are already being consider
ed strong possibilities. Some Indiana
Republicans think the nomination
should so to former Vice President
Fairbanks.
AS the situation is today there will
be little shifting in the strength of the
possibilities until the elections this
fall. Whichever party carries the
greatest number of Congressional dis
tricts will in a measure have a fair
claim to ascendancy. AS far as in
diYidual candidates are concerned a
great deal of Beveridge's future
strength will depend Upon the race
