program, the party critics feel jusH-
fed in generally charging The loss Of
the presidency to the management Of
the campaign. They differentlate to
the extent Of giving a good deal more
credit to the management of the con-
tests in TIE Western States by Alvin
T. Hert of Kentucky than they do to
Mr.. Wilcox and his advisory board in
New York Mr.. Wilcox, beset with
troubles and surrounded by an at
mosphere Of personal chickering's and
Influenced solely by Mr.. Hughes, is
credited with having done the rest he
could under the circumstances. Alt
unstinted praise is given Mr.. Hert
It is the belief of a great many
of the Republican members Of Con-
gress that Hert displayed greater
ability as political general than
any other commander in the Repub-
lican army He is credited with saw
ing Wisconsin and Indiana after
both States looked ITO be lost to his
party. The management of the Ohio
campaign was taken from him and
handled by the New York crowd; ;
otherwise, there is pretty strong
conviction among Republicans that
Hert could have carried Ohio if he
had been intrusted with the manage
ment Of the fight there.
Wilcox to Retire
It is the consensus of Republican
Congressman that Mr.. Wilcox will
retire from the Craftsmanship Of the
National Committee at the first op-
portunitye It is known that he never
aspired to the office and that he took
it solely because urged to do so by
Hughes, whose personal friend he
has been for many years.
In casting about for his successor,
Republican leaders, are inclined to
draft Mr.. Hert. He, however, mani
tests little ambition to, inherit the
mess left oyer from the recent cam
paign. He is a successful business
man without any great ambition in
a political way.
It is probable that the next few
months will witness, the dropping out
of several of the leaders who played
conspicuous parts in the recent cam
paign. Herbert Parsons, who was
substituted for William Barnes in
New York on the ground that he was
more acceptable to Hughes, probably
willofol1ow Wilcox into retirement, as
will follow Wilcox into retirement, al
ed members of the old Guard after
the nomination of Hughes
AS. a matter of fact, some Of the
Hughes crowd" probably will not
wait for a meeting Of the committee,
but will tender their designations
shortly. AS far as Hughes person
ally is concerned, there is pretty
we'll defined impression that he has
had about ali. he wants Of politics
and will not figure again in the call
culations of the party as either: leader
or candidate
