Weeks for President.

Senator Weeks of Massachusetts has
sailed the bounding main and has
knocked about the world, ending up
In q blaze OF glory by representing his
State we'll in the United States SEN
ate. He has been mentioned for the
Presidency, is being mentioned now.
and will be mentioned when the time
comes for the Republicans to name
their standard-bearer.
Just what the Senator's own aspi-
rations are some OF his friends confess
Just now they do not know. II he
has any aspirations, of course, they
must be mammoth ones. for no tiny
aspirations could find lodging place
in the great frame which this Bay
state citizen possesses.
1t was stated last year in the pres
ence Of some of his friends that Weeks
was a get rich quick man, and
therefore could not be used effectively
in bringing the elusive vote into the
Republican column. Some Of Week :
friends insist now that they have an
antidote for that argument, and II
given a chance to apply 1t will do so
' in such q fashion that the entire Re-
publican national convention, three
years hence, will be soothed and
calmed by it
After the defeat of Justice Hughes
last year there were many Republican
leaders who insisted that in 1870 their
party would have to look toward the
setting sun for a candidate. They
had stayed by the rising sun and the
midday sun too long, they declared.
The future demanded some candidate
who comes from the along-toward-
evening part OF the country. II this
idea prevails as much three years
hence as it does now, it will bar Sen
ator Weeks from consideration. II
it doesn't, then his name will probably
be formidably set before the conven-
ton.
But in any event. 1t may be put
down here incidentally. the chairman
of the National Committee will be
chosen quite as carefully as the Presi-
dental candidate, and other facts than
his mere location win be taken into
account in his selection
