The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1920-03-08

Honorable William Gibbs McAdoo
has long been considered by many the
best equipped OF the presidential
possibilities among the Democratic
aspirants. He has made it known
that he is not seeking the nomina-
ton: but his friends will see to ii that
his name appears upon all necessary
presidential primary ballots
Mr.. McAdoo was well known in
New York business circles before he
became identified with the Wilson
boom in the spring of 1912. He did
not win the support of Tammany.
but he was by no means without in
fiuence among the better class Of the
business men Of New York. He
helped to secure at the Norfolk con-
vention of that year part OF the
Virginia delegation for Wilson. He
was active in many states and the re-
suit of his activities was quite ap
parent when the Baltimore conven-
ton assembled
There is no longer any .disputing
the fact that he made great secre-
tary of the treasury. He performed
miracles of 1nanciering during the
war period such as the best financial
brains Of America considered i'm
unsSible He deyeIopcd an amazing

tain that the rank and file of the vot-
ers could be held in line, IL a third
party should be formed to uphold
the law and the constitution. How
ever, it is certain that no party would
be rash enough in the face OF the
overwhelming sentiment for prohibit
ton in America to seek to 60 back to
the saloon or to any other method of
dispensing alcohol for beverage pur-
poses
Mr.. Bryan shows plainly what this
paper has stated frequently that what
has been proposed by all the states
opposed TO the Eighteenth Amendment
was nothing short of notification. 1t
Is founded on the theory that each
state may decide for Itself whether an
amendment to the federal constitution
regularly adopted. is binding and
whether law OF Congress, passed in
SuuipTFHity Win the am enGrn enS, is to
be obeyed
If this theory OF the nature of the
constitution and frame work OF the
national government be correct then
it is feeble affair. indeed. and in
fact, nothing but the old confedera-
tinn revarnnaS
However, Mr.. Bryan, and all other
democrats who love the constitution
need not take the New York state
democratic convention too seriously.
1t appears to have been dominated by
/ Tammany, which usually speaks for
the underworld of the metropolis
There are many thousand democrats
| Of the state who will resent this be-
travail OF the respectable element Of
the party In the state.
