7THREE weeks from next Wednesday the
republican national committee will
meet in this city to name the time and
place for holding the republican a
Il tonal convention to nominate candi-
dates for President and Vice President
and draft platform. The democratic commit
tee will meet for the same purpose January 6.
AS early as January and February prospective
candidates for the presidency will be required,
in some of the states, to announce themselves.
In March the actual selection of delegates to
the two national conventions will be we'll under
way.
All of which serves to admonish that the
country is right atop of the presidential cam
paign of 1920 almost before it knows it, and
with no pronounced trend toward selection of
candidates AS they say out in Pike county,
Missouri. here it is half past Z o'clock and
nary dish washed
Careful and unbiased inquiry brings the
intmation that among republicans the drift of
sentiment in the rank and file to be
toward Gen. Leonard Wood for the presidential
nomination. while the preference of the po-
litical leaders is apparently leaning toward
Gov. Lowden of Illinois, pending the upstarting
of some man who might cause spontaneous and
magnetic crystallizaton of sentiment of the
bosses and the Embossed. Maybe there will not
be any such upstarting and the choice will be
made in behalf of the man whose agents can
round up the most delegates to the convention.
There is no denying the fact that thus far
none of the availables mentioned in the po-
ltcal gossip of the day has set the river aire"
People are not enthusing, the outpost pickets re-
port. This is not reflection upon the gentle
men who ARE among those mentioned" it is
said, but may rather be explained by the fact
that the country has been engrossed with do
mestic problems paramount in immediate in
terest to the presidential campaign Once across
the divide and into the year of 1920 it will
be different.
Gen. Wood and Gov. Lowden are the only re-
publican candidates in whose behalf campaign
is being conducted. AS heretofore stated in The
Stars political gossip, Gen. Woods campaign is
being managed by National Committeeman King
of Connecticut who would have the Roose-
welt campaign had the colonel lived and who is
demanding the support of the old Roosevelt
men throughout the country, even as against
Hiram Johnson. whose friends are keeping him
well to the 'front.' nevertheless.
Gov. Lowden has thoroughly organized cam
pa1gn committee in Illinois and number of in
fuential republicans at work for him
throughout the east In New York and Massa-
chusetts a drive is being made in his behalf and
in the Bay state is being conducted ION the

ious to see US as we were to see
him, and probably just as nervous
about it.
Vice President Marshall, who
acted as the chief executive of the
nation in meeting the prince and
escorting him about the city, was
most favorably impressed with the
affability of the royal visitor. and
it is no secret that the statesman's
best brand of Indiana humor was
keenly appreciated by the prince,
who is a living refutation of the
rumor that Briton cannot see a
Joke unless there is a map explain
ing it. --r. .s.-
Paraphrasing the remark cred
tied to an old-time politician, the
princes attitude is summed up in
the words: whats ceremony be-
tween friends?" And he gave evil
dence of this in his relations with
Gen. Pershing. for whom he has
the warmest admiration.
The American officer was stand
ing a little in the background
when the prince climbed down
from his train in the rain last
Tuesday, where he was presented
to the Vice President and a num-
Der of cabinet officers. but. catch
ing sight of Gen. Pershing, the
future King of England stepped
quickly over to him and shook his
hand most warmly.
When the stage was all set for
the presentation of medals to war
heroes at the Belmont home two
days later, with Secretary Baker
and all of the high officers of the
United States Army and the mill
tary attaches of the embassies
drawn up in imposing array. an
other significant incident occurred.
On the opposite side Of the room
from the distinguished guests was
the marble-topped table covered
with the decorations which the
prince was to bestow. AS his high
ness entered the room band in
the balcony struck up God Save
the Prince Of Wales" the assem-
bled dignitaries rose to their feet,
and the prince walked toward the
table in a most formal manner.
Formal at least until he caught
sight of Gen. Pershing. when, some
what to the discontinue of the
royal aides, he walked across the
room and shook hands with the
commander of the American ex-
peditionary forces. greeted Secre-
tary Baker. and then returned and
took up his position by the table.
But it was not on generals or
officials alone that the princely
smile was turned. A group of
school children in Alexandria, chill
dren of various shades of complex
ion and wearing clothes that
ranged from tidy ginghams to tat
tered hand-me- was the sig

could have displayed had he been

Gen. Wood and Gov. Lowden both have publicity

Senator Harding's friends are arranging to

presidential game will yet have to be reckoned

Senator Watson is hull down below the
horizon but standing off and on. Gov. Goodrich
of Indiana is lowering nearby topsails lowered

Goodrich has offered to abandon presidential
aspirations if Senator Watson will yield the
senatorial nomination. but Senator Watson can't

porting progress" it is said.
Two new vice presidential possibilities
upheaved by the state elections-Gov. Coolidge
of Massachusetts and Gov. Morrow of Kentucky.
While putting down policemens strike would
hardly seem to be sufficient measure for vice
presidential timber. in Gov. Coolidges case his
admirers here point out that greater principle
involved-really the supremacy of law and
order and Americanism.
AS for Gov. Morrow, some republicans think
that putting him the ticket might swing

presidential column. Just about a great
deal is being heard of breaking the solid SOUTH

T was IL o'clock in the evening
and the young Prince of Wales
had been standing in the receiv-
ing line for an hour. A thou
sand persons had been presented to
whom he had given a handshake and
a smile. and still the line seemed in
terminable.
Weary themselves of the strain
that had followed most active day,
some of the members of his party in
sisted that the prince expend himself
no further, but walk down the line
and bow to those he had not met,
and then proceed to where supper
was awaiting him. Some Of his ad-
visers were so insistent that his
highness suddenly spoke up:
IF you wish to go to supper now
you will be excused. and 1 beg you
not to wait for me-" he said. But
1 shall disappoint no one who came
to meet me tonight, and l expect to
stay here until every guest has been
presented"
1t goes without saying that no fur
ther mention was made of supper
until the last guest had received the
royal smile and greeting. even though
it was almost midnight when the
ceremony concluded.
Il
This incident which marked the
reception given to the Prince Of
Wales at the Library of Congress
last Wednesday night is an index to
ish crown. whose visit to Washington
was awaited with intense interest
since it was learned more than six
months ago that he would be the
guest of this nation.
Officials whose duty it would be to
help entertain the royal visitor and
those of humber walks in life who
could hope for no more than pass
ing glimpse of him as he rode past
them in a motor watched with mu-

Canada as told in the newspapers or
in motion pictures. And when at last
he arrived he proved to be, above all,
a very human young man. looking
more like youth of twenty than Of
twenty-five, and apparently some-
what ill at ease amid the ceremony
that marked his every appearance in
public.

Those who met the prince were
impressed first with his frank
ness. He looked them squarely in
the eye, and his ready smile placed
one Immediately at ease. There
was nothing forced about his
greeting, and even the severe
strain on his good nature at the
Library of Congress reception did
not exhaust him.. for the last
guests were just as cordially re-
ceived as the first.
Even royalty cannot affect an
emotion that is not genuine, and
it finally dawned on Washington
that the prince was really glad to
be here and meet the people Of
America; that he was just as anx-

far-seeing democrats believe that the demo-
cratic party will not be able in any circum-
stances to command the whole labor vote. and
the party might well set the table with the
possibility of one vacant place.
Attorney General Palmer will have to stand
as the upholder and exponent of firm enforce

enforcement machinery is under the internal
revenue bureau the broader question of resist
