of these is to secure its utmost in
fluence to bring about the final en-
reimbursement Of the women of every
reach across the seas in aid Of wom-

Democrats in town are commenting
good naturedly upon one proposed
80 feature of
LOOK ON PALMER the program
AS POSSIBLE HEIR. for the meet
ing Of the
democratic national committee in Chi
cago, May 2s and 20. 1t is announced
that Attorney General A. Mitchell
Palmer is to address the banquet fol-
lowing the last days meeting. Now,
Mr.. Palmer is the latest accession to
the ranks of possible presidential
candidates, and some of the others
1t is said. are jealous of this atten-
tion paid to the Attorney General
They complain that he will be given
opportunity to appear before the ma
tional committee and the managers
from every state, who are to attend
the big democratic love feast, and
let them look him over and ''size
him up while they will have no
such chance. We'll. he is easy to
look at and he is some size," Mr..
Palmer's friends retort. land it will
be a good thing for them to get ac-
quainted with him. Let the CALLED

Everybody supposed that If President
Wilson concluded not to run again
the administration strength would be
thrown to the husband of his daugh-

cabinet it was thought on all sides
that he was getting ready for the
presidential campaign
Possibly he is Withholding his an
nouncement until the President finally
decides he will not run. some Of the
politicians suggest going upon the
theory frequently advanced that If the
President comes out of the peace con-
ference the splendid figure mis- admir-
ers believe he will be, it will be i'm
possible for him to refuse to run
again.

would put away the crown IL he re-
turns and receives the ovation given
to a great popular hero.
