MANY ASPIRE TO
The PRESIDENCY
Never in History Were So Many
Willing to Save Their
Country.
TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION
Casual Survey of Situation Discloses
More Presidential Boomiets Than
Voters Have Any Idea Ore
pubicans More Numerous.

Washington, July 2S.-Never in
American history have so many men
aspired to the presidency of the
United States as are aspiring to it
today.
The busy ante-bellum days, with
their pregnant problems of peace and
reconstruction, their predictions of q
wider field of action for the govern
ment and charges of dire disaster to
the country if certain projected steps
are taken, are no deterrent to the POI
litical ambitions of scores of American
citizens
Candidates for the presidential NOM
ination in both of the big parties are
almost too numerous to mention and
any list which attempts to cover the
field certainly will overlook some one
whose hopes in the good political judg-I
ment of the American people are just
now running high.
Eager to Avert Dire Disaster.
A casual survey of the situation to-
day discloses more presidential booms
and boomlets than the voters have any
idea of, a circumstance which leads
TO the inevitable conclusion that the
faith of many leading Americans in
the future of the country is not shaken
by warnings of dire disaster because
Of entanglements resulting from the
world war.
Nearly two score eligibles can be
mentioned now who are willing to un-
dertake the task of plotting the ship
of state through the breakers ahead.
They include United States senator's
by the dozen, governors of states, cab
met and ex-cabinet members, former
president, soldiers and others in vary
ing fields of captivities.
Republicans More Numerous.
The most conspicuous booms and
boOmlets at this time are on the Re-
publican side of the political fence,
although Democrats of the country are
active for various leaders. OF the Re-
publican bOOmS the most active today
are for Frank O. Lowden, governor Of
Illinois; Senator Warren G. Harding
of Ohio, who has been in the field
probably longer than any other Repub-
lican aspirant, and Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood commander of the central de-
partment, U. S. A.
II President Wilson refuses to be n
candidate for a third term the Demo-
cratic scramble will be as lively as the
Republican. There are many booms
and bOomlets ready to be sprung. In
the senate the most formidable candi-
dates are Gilbert NJ Hitchcocl of Ne
braska, former chairman of the for
eign relations committees Atlee Pom.
creme Of Ohio, Robert L. Owen Of
Oklahoma, Oscar Underwood of Ala
bama and George E. Chamberlain of
Oregon, who gained especial promi-
nence in resisting the administrations
program.
Outside the senate leading Demo
Gratis insist that former Secretary Of
the Treasury William G. McAdoo of
New York, ''the crown prince" still is
to be reckoned with, although Mr.. Nc
Adoo has said he is not a candidate.
