MANY CANDIDATES
FOR c. 0. P. TICKET
DEATH OF ROOSEVELT THROWS
WIDE OPEN RACE FOR PREsI-
DENTAL NOMINATION.
SENATORS ARE CONSIDERED
Lowden of Illinois the only Governor
Mentloned-RapId Progress Being
Made In Ratification of the Prohi-
bition Amendment.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.


Westinghouse has become appar-
ent since the death of Theodore Roose-
welt that the Republicans had largely
settled upon him as their candidate
for 1920. While there were candidates
in other parts of the country ana
many men would have had the sup
port of delegations from their own
states and communities, it Is evident
from what is heard on all sides that
the one thing that would have pre-
vented Roosevelt's nomination had he
lived would have been his own deter
mination not to be a candidate. Those
who were intimately associated with
him during the hast few months are
aware that he had determined not to
be a candidate, for he knew better
than anybody else the precarious con-
dltion of his health. He might not
have made any such announcement
for some time, but it is known to have
been in contemplation.
AS the matter now stands, the Re
publicans are considerably at sea and
there are many different names men
toned in connection with the presi-
dency. And the candidates are from
every section of the country, not CON
fined to what has heretofore been the
presidential highway, the states of
New York, New Jersey Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois. Among those who have
been mentioned in connection with the
Republican nomination in 1920 are Sen
ators Lodge and Weeks Of Massachu-
sets, Senator WadswOrth of New York,
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, Sen
ator Harding of Ohio, Senator Watson
of Indiana, Senator Kellogg of Mime
sofa, Senator Sherman of Illinois, Sen
ator Townsend of Michigan, Senator
Lenroot of Wisconsin, Senator Cum
Minis of Iowa Senator BOrah Of Idaho
and Senator Johnson of California.
There is an absence of the usual
crop of governor-candidates Usually
there are half-dozen or more gov
errors who are considered available
presidential material in the pre-con-
vention talk, but this year there Is no
suggestion of governors, with the
single exception of Frank Lowden of
Illinois. On the other hand, a num-
her of army officers are mentioned,
with Pershing at the head, Leonard
Wood a good second and Provost
Marshal General Crowder considered
available. And since the return of
Gen. Clarence Edwards and his popu-
larity with the New England division,
the famous fighting Twenty-sixth,
there is suggestion that he would be
available Edwards was the friend Of
Mark Hanna, the confidant of Secre-
taries Root and Taft in the war de-
partment, and is known to more public
men than almost any other man in the
army.

Food and War.

We went into the war because the
German general staff held the convic
ton that American wheat was more
dangerous to the Teuton army than
American soldiers could ever be. says
Ralph w. Page, whose discussion of
the food situation appears in the
Worlds Work. They realized what we
soon discovered-"that food will win
the war" The ruthless submarine
campaign that outraged Christendom
was primarily directed against the
transatlantic journeys Of the Chicago
pig en- route to the Tommys haversack.
Rather than risk the replenishment of
the poilu's larder from the harvest
fields of Kansas, William the Con
quered elected TO defy the republic.

FATHER OF THE PARAGRAPH
George D. Prentice, oldtime Journal
list, Once Wished to Use
Pistols, as Well.

One hundred and sixteen years ago.
on December Is. 1902, there was born
at Preston, Conn, George d. Prentice,
who became one of the most noted
newspaper men of his time, the rather
Of the editorial paragraph, as the snort
terse pointed comments he made on
men and matters were called, and VINO
narrowly missed an editorial career In
Ohio.
Prentice toured Ohio In 1880, after
he had already made a name for NM
self in eastern journalism, looking Tor
location, but passed on into Ken
lucky, where at Lexington he began
work on his Life of Henry Clay
and ultimately became editor OF the
Louisville Journal. On his way through
Ohio he called on William ID. Gala
CHER, who had already become well
known as an editor and who was then
publishing his unfortunate venture at
Xenia-"The Backwoodsman."
Gallagher was upstairs working
with the types that summer day IN
1880 and a helper from below an
nounced his caller. Gallagher stopped
to make himself little more present
able, whereupon Prentice shouted up
stairs, "Never mind inky fingers; I'm
used to them" The two men were In
hearty accord then, but 1t is interest
ing to note that they came to swords
! points twenty years later-or rather 10
pistol points.
The slavery question coming up, In
the early fiftles, the two men found
pal newspapers of Louisville-Gai-
lagher of the Courier and Prentice OF
the Journal, taking opposite sides
Gallagher was strong for abolition and
Prentice defended slavery. Their ref
| erences to each other soon descended
TO the level of personal journalism.
Finally Prentice went to Cincinnati,
where Gallagher had written much for
the newspapers, digging up his aboli-
ton sentiments for the purpose of re-
failing them to pro-slavery Louisville.
This aroused the lion IN Gallagher and
he applied opprobrious terms to Prem
tice.
The next day a Colonel Churchill ar
rived at Gallagher's rural home with
a challenge TO him to fight duel. At
ter reading the challenge Gallagher
tore 1t into bits and said to Churchill,
"Tell Prentice that that is my answer
to his foolish challenge" Prentice
died in Louisville, January %, 1870.

While there is talk OF rushing
everything in the way Of legislation in
order TO avoid an extra session, It
may be ment ioned that the house of
representatives devoted four or FIVE
days to hearing a contested election
case. Strange as 1t may seem, the
contest came from Alaska, terri
tory having n delegate who has no
vote. The time was when contested
election cases excited considerable in
terest In the house of representatives.
It was contested election case which
precIpltated the fight when Tom Reed
counted a quorum In the Fifty-6rst
congress, provoking one of the most
bitter partisan struggles that has
ever been known in the history of con
gress. Much Of the time In the debate
In the Alnska case was taken up by
the men who are battling for the seat,
in a long rehearsal Of election condl-
lions In the territory.

Any man who seriously proposes
to annex territory to the United
States is sure to start something.
Every acquisition of territory has
aroused bitter opposition. History
tells us that was the case in regard
to the Louisiana purchase, the annex
alton Of Texas, the acquisition of terri
tory from Mexico after the Mexican
war, and again when Seward bought
Alaska from Russia. 1t is within the
memory of men still living how oppo-
sition to General Grants proposal to
acquire Santo Domingo was strong
enough to overthrow presidential pol
Icy. Plenty of people can remember
the bitter contest against acquiring
Hawaii and the Philippines. But with
the exception Of Santo Domingo which
is nominally under our control, nearly
every movement for the acquisition
of territory has been successful.
Perhaps that is what makes Sena-
tor Ashurst's proposition real sub
tect of debate. He wants to add Lower
California and a large slice of the
northern part of Mexico to the United
States. and puts up some pretty good
reasons for the acquisition. Just as
Tom Reed complained bitterly about
buying Malays Mt 50 head" abiding
to the $20000000 paid for the Philip
pines with their 100000 population,
so there will be a great deal of oppo-
sition to taking over the poems and
semlsavage tribes of northern Mexico,
even If we get large slice of land
with 1t. However, the world Is be-
coming somewhat topsy-turvy and geo
graphical lines are being redrawn In
the old world, and perhaps the innu-
ence will spread TO this continent, not
withstanding the ringing declaration of
Senator Elihu Root at the Rio Janeiro
conference when he told all of the
Latin-American republics that the
United States did not desire a foot OF
their territory.

From 1884 to 1919 is a long span of
years. That is the period during which
Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore
Roosevelt were close personal and po-
litical friends. They made their first
political fight together in 1884 at the
convention which nominated Blaine.
They were against the Pmmed knight,
and since that time they had been to-
gether on nearly every political propo-
sition that came before the country,
particularly on the subject of civil
service reform, which brought them in
closer alliance than almost any other
issue. They were active lieutenants in
the fight to make Tom Reed speaker
30 years ago. Senator Lodge would
not go to the Republican national CON
vention in 1912 because he did not
want to be put in the position of an
tagonizing Roosevelt although he did
not believe that his candidacy at that
time was opportune. In the conveu-
ton of 1916, however, Lodge voted for
Roosevelt on the second ballot.

Whether or not the talk about Gen
eral Pershlng as a possible presiden-
tial candidate has been the cause of
complaints and criticisms of the man
agement Of the army in Europe, II is
certain that something is at the bot
tom OF m effort to create an unfavor-
able impression of the man most prom
lnent In the military service of the
country. The complaints about the
condition of the embarkation camp
the complaints that officers have not
received due recognition, the com
plants that men were unnecessarily
sacrificed in the last days of the war,
nave all been put forth since the close
OF the war and seemingly with the
idea of giving General Pershing n
black eye. That there Is politics in It
TO some extent one must believe, be
cause assertions are made that Gen
eral Pershing is not really popular in
the army and that the returning SOL
aiers and those to be returned will not
be enthusiastic for him II he should
be candidate for the presidency. One
thing is certain. If this war does not
develop a president, ii is the first war
the country has ever had that failed
to do so.

President Wilson believes in the
power of oratory. At the time he
decided to increase largely the mil
itary establishment on account Of
war conditions, back In 1915, he made
quite lengthy tour in the middle
West, making frequent speeches In
favor Of the plan. 1t was his belief
then that he aroused a strong public
sentiment for the increase. although
the legislation which followed was II
failure so far as the army was con-
cerned and when we got into the war
everything had to be done over again.
In carrying out his plans for a League
OF Nations he has made a similar cum
pnign tour, for his speeches In France,
England and Italy have been largely
for the purpose of creating public SEN
timent In favor of the league. II Is
understood that II the opposition to u

The rapid manner in which the con-
stitutional amendment for the prohi-
bition of liquor is being ratified by the
different states seems to indicate the
fulfillment of the prediction that the
United States will be dry by consti-
tutional amendment one year from
next March. BY the last of March
three-fourths of the states may have
ratified the amendment, and If so it
will go into effect one year after rati-
fication. 1t is observed that the fight
goes on in various states by the liquor
interests and all possible legal OBJ
stacles are thrown in the way of the
adoption of the prohibition amend
ment, but the prohibition march goes
steadily forward.

The great marble hallway of the
library, with its noble pillars. its
double stairway, and broad gallery,
and its splendid frescoes in rich blues,
green's, and Pomepiian reds, made a
perfect setting for a brilliant assem-
blage. Wisely there had been no
attempt at decoration beyond the
placing of a few palms and clusters
of great white and yellow chrysan-
themums The Stars and Stripes and
the royal standard of Great Britain
hung over the entrance to the library
and strip of red carpet, with crossed
flags. marked the spot on the gal
lery where the prince stood to greet
the long lone of guests, which wound
and wound-and kept on winding
before him.
Mrs. Marshall, wife of the Vice
President was still too i'll to have
her room, so Mrs. Lansing, wife of
the Secretary of State, played hostess.
She was the only lady in the receiving
line, and her lovely gown of white
brocaded satin, combined with chif-
fon. made on long, straight lines and
untrimmed save for a bit of lovely
old point lace, stood out in high re-
lief against the black of the mems
clothes. The prince, in evening
clothes with many decorations and
the broad blue ribbon of an order
across his breast. stood next to the
Vice President, with Mrs. Lansing on
his right hand, and the others in the
receiving line were the British am
bassador. Viscount Grey, and Secre-
