 POSSIBILITIES
UNPRECEDENTED UNCERTAIN TY IN BOTH POLITICAL PART IFS ON PROBABLE NOMINEES
 AWAIT WILSON'S DECISION

Are the professional politicians bankrupt? Is the next president to come from outside the reaches of public life? A year from June the presidential candidates of both part ies will be named. Today there is almost unprecedented uncertainty regarding these selections. News paper talk centers around soldier candidates whose achievements and regulations might help politics re- habilitate itself
 Is the next president to be sol dier. as was the cas ewith all but 8 chief magistrates since the Civll war?
 Will he be business man to sat isfy the tax payers demand for economy and the protection of pros perity in new uncertain years?
 Will the voters get lawyer or some political figure who has ac- quired prominence connected with the civil promlems of the war?
 Will the issue be the league of nations, or taxes. or sane kind of adulterated Bolshevism?
 The answers are hard to get. There was never a time of greater Congress political agitation than the last session. But it ran n a dozen directions and turned up no com manding figures. Issues of enough importance for six campaigns pon- ped up and were disposed of tco quickly to shed great light on the next presidency.
 With the new congress in their hands the republicans naturally e.:- peet to have big political aavant- age in 1920. If they are fronted with close test and uncertain prospects next spring, they may nominate Pershing. If they feel free to consult preference instead of necessity. they will hardly name B man whose ways and personality are not better explored than Per shing.
 Possibilities and standings at this time rates as follows:
 1.-Charles E. Hughes. nominee of 1916, investigator of the air craft scandal, active on war oues- tions, who would win this time
The courier-index., 1919-05-02

Josephus Daniels is said to have himself under consideration in con- rection ith the pc ;idency. Hs friends submit that man who ad- ministered the navy department so efficiently, who was so radical on price fixing, and so advanced On suffrage and the liquor issues ought to have chance.
 The suggestion is even heard that the democrats choose Pershing. Per shing is a great admirer of Wilson. He has kept out of politics as Wood has done. Why" ask democrats, shouldn't we profit instead of the republicans, from Pershine's work in France? A democratic admins tration sent him there"
 Little is heard of Underwood, SD promising a candidate in 1912. 6n admirable, quiet figure in the sen- ate, he has devoted himself to in- conspicious but arduous labors, ap- parently content to miss the head lines.
 The followers of MT. Bryan still throb when the presidency is men, toned. He was first in the field for prohibition. He supported the currency measure. Now he is claim. ing that his peace treaties form the real basis of the Wilson league of nations To the extent of thi, origin he praises the league plan, with some intimations that he could have done one better. He has no unreserved praise for Mir. Wilson Possibly he harbors resentment al the way the Wilson managers held him out of the limelight Tn .he las, congressional campaign. Relying upon his strength in the west and south, he is undoubtedly hoping fol the democratic nomination, just as he sought it in 1912. He may tr, to manipulate field of fellow can. didates as he did then.
 The democrats are keeping miohtx quiet, waiting for a trustwortby inkling of what Mir. Wilson intend, | to do.
