POLITICS
By The Occasional Prophet

Will Hays. chairman OF the Re
publican National Committee. has
high ambitions Firmly believing
that ho can elect anyone the
Republicans nominate for Presi-
dent. Hays is confident he has lines
lard Tor breaking the solid South.
The tremendous swing toward
Hiram Johnson for the Presidency
CooIs this ambition somewhat for
HAYS is "f the old school and would
like to have Sonator Knox. Senator
Lodge. Senator Harding or Charles
+. Hughes at the head Of tho
tirkel, but no matter who may be
nominated. h. is going to forge
ahead with hle pet scheme {" cap
ture some of The States the Demo
Gratis have always counted as their
very own.
Hayes believes it cinCh for the
Republicans to carry North Caro-
lima. First. he feels that he has ar
ranged things down there So that
many negroes who heretofore have
not voted will 20 to the polls in
1920. Further. he is Of the opinion
that many North Carolina Demo-

to swing to the Republican party.
He has spent a great deal Of time
in North Carolina and will be dis
appointed il the Democrats hold on
TO the State.
Kentucky is his next best bet.
The Democrats of the Blue Grass
state have not been exactly har-
monious. The present Democratic
nominee for governor is not the
choice Of the majority of the party.
Then, the election of King Swope. a
Republican. in the district that for
many years sent Harvey Helm and
other Democrats 20 Congress. is
favorable straw, Hays thinks.
The election Of Spencer as Senator
from Missouri over that stalwart
Democrat Joe Folk. cOnvinces Hays
that Missouri is debatable ground.
The Democrats Of Missouri have not
been sweet on each other for some
time. and more or less friction has
ensued. Senator Jim Reeds attitude
has not done the party much good.
Senator Spencer is taking advantage
Of the situation to have his friends
speak Of him quite often as a Vice
Presidential quantity.
Hays is said to have word from
Tennessee that IL the national COM
rnittee greases the wheels down there
that the State might be delivered to
the Republicans.
StranEest Of all is the rumOr that
Hays believes that Georgia is wab-
bling. The Democrats in the larger
cities OF Georgia are out Of line with
their party on the tariff. 1t has been
said recently that the average South
ern Democrat is more OF Republi-
can than was the average Northern
Republican a few years ago. II is
all due to tariff views.
A Democrat who is wise to things
in general rises to explain that If the
Republicans stand a ghost OF a show
they must garner in three OF four
Southern States; that the West is
hopelessly lost to them, and that Ohio
is safely Democratic for years to
come. II wouldn't be much Of a
