"a NENT the prospective re

president Samuel Blythe
at the conclusion of an inter-
estng story in the Saturday
Evening Post gives it as a
straight tip that-at the time
of his writing-the old guard
leaders were very favorably
disposed towards Governor
Mccall Of Massachusetts,. He
says they would fight to the
last ditch against the nomina-
ton of Roosevelt and that next
to the colonel their most bitter
pin would be Hughes,
Regarding Mccall it may be
Mr.. Blythe has said someth-
ing. The Massachusetts, gov
elnor has some prestige
through having beaten a very
popular man, Walsh for the
governorShip, Upon his inau-
gurauon Mccall took a stand
for extension of the civil ser
vice, for a reduction in the
number of state commissions,
denounced the killing of peo-
pie by autos and said other
things of a strong political
tenor. His speech was herald
ed by Boston papers as an at
tack on the old guard. This
would indicate he stands high
in old guard esteem, as Mr..
Blythe says, and is endeavor-
ing to qualify for the progress
sive support also.
1t may be interesting to
watch Mccall and the Mccall
boom.
