MENTIONED FOR
THE PRESIDENCY
The Louisville COurler-JOurnnl
"LOOks Toward France as the
Place Whence One Of the
Candidates VIII Come"

Yesterdays Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal contained the following editorial
on the late election results and takes
a step in advance on the Presidential
selection of candidates for 1920
"That the Democrats, despite their
numerical minority in this Republican
country, we're able to make so close a
fight in the fatal off-year of national
politics, testifies to the remarkable
hold of the President upon the conf
dence of the people. With him as its
leader the Democratic party has been
able to rule the affairs of government
for the past six years, but until the
nomination of Mr.. Wilson its modern
history was a succession of defeats.
THAT the Republicans, in the face
of the Presidents appeal for ma
jority in Congress, were able to ac-
complish what they did at the cleo
lions shows the eternal fealty of mil
lions of Americans to the party name
that is reminiscent of Lincoln, Grant
and Mckinley. The strength of the
popular belief in it's economic policies
is also manifest, as the voters of
America are much interested in the
type of business legislation that will
follow the war. Those who have sew
eral times in the past pronounced ele-
gies upon the Republican party must
now realize that it is returning to its
old vigor and strength and that the
year 1920 will probably witness such
a presidential struggle as the nation
has not seen before.
Talk of candidates this far in ad-
vance is pleasant gossip merely, but
one looks toward France as the place
whence one of these candidates will
come. Perhaps in the headquarters
of the Commander-in-Ch of the
American Expeditionary Force is to-
day the nominee of one of the great
parties in 1920. Zachary Taylor's
progress from Buena Vista to the
White House is token of what
America offers err heroes in the field,
and in the same fashion Ulysses S.
Grant proceeded from Appomattox to
Washington. Gen. Pershing may find
his gradus honorum the same, and
that his name will loom large in the
presidential gossip of 1920 is fore
gone conclusion"

Mrs. Amanda Houston, widow, over
so years of age Mrs. Houston has a
number of relatives living in Cincin-
natl, none of whom, however, are able
to give her any considerable assist
ance. One of her sons, Raymond, who
has done more for her than anyone
except her daughter, died last week of
influenza, without leaving a will. His
estate, amounting to about 100000,
goes to his wife, who does not seem
to be especially fond of her mother
in-law, or to have any intention of
helping her. Mrs. Houston's daughter,
Mrs. Chester White, was married
about six months ago, to a man who
is not at present supporting her, ard
she cannot now do anything for her
mother.
Mrs. Houston has a second son,
named Clifford, from whom she has
not heard for sometime. He was last
living at 11S West Market street,
Akron, Ohio. Mrs. Houston wired him
at that address, after his brothers
death, but received word that he was
no longer living there.
Mr.. Clifford Houston married a wo-
man named Ellen Rye, from Mays
vile, Ky. She has relatives in Mays
vile, by the name of Rye, and also one
by the name of Jack Thomas. These
are the only names which Mrs. Hous-
ton was able to give us. We have
thought that it might be possible to
locate Mr.. Clifford Houston, through
his wife's relatives.
