MANY CANDIDATES
FOR G. 0. P. TICKET
DEATH OF ROOSEVELT THROWS
WIDE OPEN RACE FOR PREsI-
DENTAL NOMINATION..
SENATORS ARE CONSIDERED
Lowden of Illinois the Only Governor
Mentioned-Rapid Progress Being
Made in Ratification of the Prohi-
bition Amendment.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Westinghouse has become appar-
ent since the death of Theodore Roose-
welt that the Republicans had largely
settled upon him as their candidate
for 1920. While there were candidates
in other parts of the country and
many men would have had the sup
port of delegations from their own
states and communities, it is evident
from what is heard on all sides that
the one thing that would have pre-
vented Roosevelt's nomination had he
lived would have been his own deter
mination not to be candidate. Those
who were intimately associated with
him during the last few months are
aware that he had determined not TO
be a candidate, for he knew better
than anybody else the precarious con-
dition of his health. He might not
have made any such announcement
for some time, but it is known to nave
been in contemplation.
AS the matter now stands. the Re
publicans are considerably at sea and
there are many different names men,
toned in connection with the presl-
dency. And the candidates are from
every section of the country, not con-
fined to what has heretofore been the
presidential highway, the states OF
New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois. Among those who have
been mentioned in connection with the
Republican nomination in 1920 are Sen
ators Lodge and Weeks of Massachu-
sets, Senator Wadsworth of New York,
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, Sem
ator Harding of Ohio, Senator Watson
of Indiana, Senator Kellogg of Mime
sofa, Senator Sherman of Illinois. Sen
ator Townsend of Michigan, Senator
Lenroot of Wisconsin, Senator Cum
Minis of Iowa, Senator Borah of Idaho
and Senator Johnson of California.
There is an absence of the usual
crop of gOvernOr-candidates. Usually
there are a half-dozen or more gov
errors who are considered available
presidential material in the pre-cOn-
vention talk, but this year there is no
suggestion Of governors, with the
single exception of Frank Lowden of
Illinois. On the other hand, a num-
Der of army officers are mentioned,
with Pershing at the head, Leonard
Wood a good second, and Provost
Marshal General Crowder considered
available. And since the return of
Gen. Clarence Edwards and his popu-
larity with the New England division,
the famous fighting Twenty-sixth,
there is suggestion that he would be
available. Edwards was the friend of
Mark Hanna, the confidant of Secre-
taries Root and Taft in the war de-
partment, and is known to more public
men than almost any other man in the
army.

There is nothing new under the
sum-" as some ancient sage has re-
marked. Now comes forward George
P. Cromwell of Boston with an inte--
view in which he asserts that the prin-
ciple of concert of nations to govern
the world is q very old idea and was
talked about before Columbus decided
that he could circumnavigate the
globe. The Boston man said also
that William Penn, the man who
founded Pennsylvania, urged the iden-
teal principle 240 years ago that is
now agitating the world. Pretty soon
some Chinaman will bob up and as
sert that the idea was put forth by
Chinese statesmen back in the
'steenth dynasty, before there was any
civilization outside of the flowery
kingdom.

President Wilson believes in the
power of oratory. At the time he
decided to increase largely the mil
itary establishment on account of
war conditions. back in 1915, he made
quite lengthy tour in the middle
West, making frequent speeches in
favor of the plan. 1t was his belief
then that he aroused a strong public
sentiment for the increase, although
the legislation which followed was
failure so far as the army was con-
cerned and when we got into the war
everything had to be done over again.
In carrying out his plans for a League
of Nations he has made a similar CAM
paign tour, for his speeches in France,
England and Italy have been largely
for the purpose of creating public SEN
timent in favor of the league. 1t is
understood that if the opposition TO

agement of the army in Europe, 1t is
certain that something is at the bot
tom of an effort to create an unfavor-
able impression of the man most prom
Inent in the military service of the
country. The complaints about the
condition of the embarkation camp,
the complaints that officers have not
received due recognition, the COM
plants that men were unnecessarily
sacrificed in the last days of the war,
nave all been put forth since the close
OF the war and seemingly with the
idea of giving General Pershing a
black eye. That there is politics in it
TO some extent one must believe, be-
cause assertions are made that Gen
eral Pershing is not really popular in
the army and that the returning SOL
diers and those to be.returned will not
be enthusiastic for him if he should
be candidate for the presidency. One
thing is certain. If this war does not
cevelop president, it is the first war
the country has ever had that failed
to do so.

The rapid manner in which the con-
stitutional amendment for the prOhi-
bition of liquor is being ratified by the
different states seems to indicate the
fulfillment of the prediction that the
United States will be dry by cOnsti-
tutionaI amendment one year from
next March. By the last of March
three-fourths of the states may have
ratified the amendment, and if so it
will go into effect one year after rati-
fication. 1t is observed that the fight
goes on in various states by the liquor
interests and all possible legal oh
stacles are thrown in the way of the
adoption of the prohibition amend
ment, but the prohibition march goes
steadily forward.
