BY United Press:
WASHINGTON, Nov f.-Presi-
Dental possibilities we're beginning
10 come TO the fore in Washington
Tuesday.
In the national capital, the men
most widely discussed for the demo-
cratic nomination were A Mitchell
Palmer. attorney general of tho
United States, and w. G.. MCAdOo,
former secretary of the treasury.
Pres't Wilson not only will not be
a third term candidate. according to
all indications. but he will not enter
the campaign even to the extent of
giving his backing TO one of the as
pirants.
He will keep hands off, and will
not consider going on the stump in
behalf OF any one This is partly be-
cause he would not want to under
go the strain of an arduous speaking
trip and partly because he is tired
of politics. and when his duty 10 the
country is done. he desires rest and
quiet.
McAdoo appears likely 10 go into
the campaign for nomination as "A
business mans candidate promis-
ing the nation a business admins
tration."
Mc.Adoo is Prominent
Just at present McAdoo really is
the rlost prominent Of all the as
pirants for the democratic candid
acy, so far as political talk in Wash
ington goes. Palmer comes next It
is believed by many, however. that
the attorney general sacrificed the
labor vote when he caused the IN
dianapolis injunction TO be issued
against the striking miners. Those
who hold he would not be a winner
also claim that his fight against the
high cost of living has not added to
his strength. His popularity was
gra latest when he started that drive.

idly as many expected them to. To

gress has not yet given him all the
authority he wanted 20 put the

Great interest is manifested in
the issue which will be put forward
in the 1920 campaign. Taking il for
granted that the treaty will have
been disposed of before that time.
one of the most talked about issues
is prohibition. BY November. 1920,
the nation will be ready to say

They include:
Asking tho federal court TO
dissolve the restraining order which

pose Of preventing the strike by pro
curing the injunction.

To Prevent Action.
On the second point. the miners
representatives viii hold that an in

only and under an injunction pro-
ceeding. the court cannot order that
past action be reSClnded.
The court Will be asked 10 modify
the court order. allowing payment
Of strike benefits, only In case the
other two miners contention is
overruled. Miners realize their men
are not in a financial position 20
carry on a long strike without out
side aid.
The union will take the position
that money in the union treasury
has been deposited there by the i'm
dividual miners, the same as they
would place il in a savings bank
They will hold that these funds are
not union property but the property
OF the individual members Of the

HOW 70 LOCK SPARE TIRES

The common method of locking
spare tires is to use a chain and pad
lock. The only trouble with the idea
is the noise incident to the rafting of
the chain and the fact that it mars
the finish of parts with which it comes
in contact. Some car owners cover
this chain with bit of hose, but this
Is usually too stiff and is somewhat
noisy and even permits marring Of
the finish. A bit of leather or heavy
substitute the length of the chain and
wide enough to form a tube to en-
close the chain offers satisfactory
solution of the problem. Turn in the
edges Of the leather case and If you
cannot do the job yourself the nearest
harness maker will make the tube for
you.
