among democratic leaders who do not
take their orders from Washington
that it would be inadvisable to name
any man who has been connected
with the Wilson administration. Out
side of Washington the list of avail
able democrats of executive or con-
gressional experience does not attract
any great amount of attention.
Mr.. Palmer, the attorney general,
has a large number of followers
among the members Of the democratic
national committee.
Oscar Underwood, who is rounding
out into leadership form in the SEN
ate, is one democrat in congress who
is regarded as standing a better
chance than any of his associates.
The chief objection to him is geo.
graphical. He is highly esteemed for
his conservative views of political
problems and has proved less reac-
tionary and freer from southern
bourbonism than any other southern
er in congress. What is left of the
old Bryan wing of the party, which
seems to be again coming up for air
in various parts of the country, would
be sure to antagonize him.
The boom for Secretary of War
Baker appears to have totally col
lapsed. He probably will figure in the
fight for the support of the Ohio del
egation to the next national conven-
ton. The chances there are greatly
| in favor of Governor Cox. He is
serving his third term. He has made
fine party and public record. He
has a pretty firm grip on the state
organization. The Ohio leaders are
backing him to win the delegation
which Mr.. Baker and Senator Pome-
rene are seeking.
Another democratic senator who
figures in midwest discussion of pres
lidential possibilities is Owen, of Ok
lahoma, the father of the currency
reform legislation and an ardent
champion of the league of nations.
sThe Oklahoma senator is already
certain to be proposed as the ia
vorite son" of his state.
Seven Republicans.
The republican leaders are discuss
| ing the chances of seven men who
are more or less available for presi-
Dental honors. These are Gen. Leon
ard Wood, who seems to have more
support than all the other aspirants
combined, Gov. Coolidge, of Massa-
chusetts, whose boom is penetrating
the New England states; Gov. Lowd-
en-, of Illinois, who seems certain to
be the ''favorite son" of his state
Senator Hiram johnson, who has Cal
ifornia "sewed up" and is credited
with holding a mortgage on the erst-
while progressive vote; Senator Hard
ing, of Ohio, who will probably get
ali the delegation votes from his
state, and Senator Poindexter, OF
Washington, whose program covers
nearly every reform that public dis
cussion makes important, but who is
of uncertain strength in his own
state.
The republicans swung into the
presidential stride ten days ago when
the national committee of that party
met and selected Chicago for then
convention and June as the date.
Half a dozen towns competed for
the honor of sheltering it-Chicago,
St. Louis, San Francisco, Kansas
City, Louisville, Denver and Mime
apolis.
The .democratic~national committee
will meet on January 8 to perform a
similar duty.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Returns

Original estimates were that S52,-

''The case has been in the courts
