will be ignored. II is still more i'm
probable that II will be yielded to
altogether. Control of the Chicago
convention is going to be in much
the same hands as exercised It in
1919 and 1915. But as those powers
accumulated a certain amount of
experience between those two dates,
so they have learned wisdom since.
But they will not yield altogether
to q sentiment that is wholly re-
pugnant to them. In a political trip
reaching to California and back
have not met one practical politi-
clan, not definitely enrolled in the
Johnson machine. who believed that
the Californian could be nominated.
however great his success in his
home State. But It will be the study
OF those who control the convention
to discover some man who will be
acceptable to the progressives with
out unduly affronting the more
conservative forces of business.
1t was in rejecting his chance to
occupy this position that the man
ayers Of Gen. Wood blundered. Had
his campaign been pressed with
more tact, and without inviting and
incurring the hostility Of SO many
of his rivals, he might have filled
exactly this niche-although the
fact that he is not a business man
would in any event have told
against him in a convention that Is
going to seek a candidate of that
sort. 1t was because Of this need
less creation OF antagonisms that
Frank H. Hitchcock virtually lost
his interest in the Wood fortunes.
In my judgment the showing
made by progressives in the pri-
maries sounds the knell of such
candidates as Lowden and Harding
and this opinion, am assured, is
shared by many of the foremost ,fig-
ures in Republican politics. have
pointed out why neither Johnson
nor Wood fllls the vacancy thus
created. Is IL not apparent that the
moment is at hand for the Repub.
licans to seek a new type Of leader?
Such a one might seem to offer
in the person of Nicholas Murray
Butler. But--and would hesitate
to echo the criticism had he not
good naturedly expressed II him
self-the country is weary of col
lege professors. Governor Coolidge
has proclaimed himself not q can
didate. but a suspiciousiy wide
spread campaign of advertising of
his book suggests a certain desire
to keep In the public eye, without
adopting openly political methods.
Yet the book itself expresses little
of a progressive theory OF politics.
and what was done In the Boston
police strike seems but slight
foundation upon which to build
Presidential boom--es peclaliy since
Bostonians themselves are inclined
to decry IL. Senator Knox's candi-
dacy would be pretty heavily
we ghted by ultra a-conservatism
eFen had II not suffered the calam.
ity of being launched by Senator
Penrose., There will be other light
ming rods up in the convention, of
course--Watson. of Indiana, Sproal,
of Pennsylvanis, Charles Dawes, or

among those mentioned. and not in
