Washington, D. c., March IA.
Mitchell Palmer-the A. stands for
Observation-Disclosures by President
Wilson to succeed Thomas W.
Gregory as attorney general of the
United States is above everything
else an attorney at law. When he has
confined his endeavors to the law he
has been more or less of a success,
but as a politician, regardless of the
merits that the cause he stood for
might have. he has been a failure.
The fact that he is a Pennsylvan-
ian and an active member of the
democratic party, in fact, one of the
bosses" for Pennsylvania politics,
is conclusive proof that he has been
against the old order of legislation
and distribution of patronage.
"A Wonderful Man."
The new attorney is what would
be called "a wonderful man" at first
sight. Physically, he is all of that and
more. He appears massive, not just
big. He has the kind of a jaw that
always indicates a good fighter, but
he lacks the personal magetism that
makes it possible for some men to
hold the crowd and win with the as
sistance of their cheers.
A. Mitchell Palmer has held few
elective Offices. He went to congress
from the Twenty-sixth district of
Pennsylvania for three terms, being
elected the first time in 1908. He won
fame and gratitude at Baltimore in
1912 when, in the face of all opposi-
ton, he helped to hold the Pennsyl-
vania delegation to the democratic
national convention solid for Wood
row Wilson. Shortly afterward it
was said unoficially that he had de-
clined to become secretary of war
because of his religious beliefs. He is
a Quaker.
Defeated by Penrose.
In 1914 Mr.. Palmer was a candi-
date for the United States senate
against Senator Penrose and was
Overwhelmingly defeated. In fact,
he polled less votes than Vance Nc
