PALESTINE HAS NO
POSTAGE STAMP

London. June 2-Palestine IS now
the only nation which has no postage
stamp of its own. But representa-
tives of the Zionist government here
have informed London philatelists that
this anomaly promises soon to be rec
titled, for with the establishment OF
Palestine as the national home OF the
Jewish nation, it is believed little time
will be lost in emulating the examples
of other small nations called into being
by mandates of the Peace Conference
by the issuance of distinctive stamps.
Pending the preparation of definite
designs, stamps sold by British Army
postoffices in adjacent former enemy
territory are being utilized by over
printing with the word PALESTINE

HUGHES GIVEN
INSIDE CHANCE
Leading Political Writers Be-
lieve He May Capture Re-
publican Nomination Again.
By II. N. Rickey.

Washington, June 2.-The name of
Charles Evans Hughes in connection
with the republican presidential nom-
ination is being used with increasing
frequency
At first blush such an outcome CT
the Chicago convention might seem to
be outside the realm of possibilities.
But when one considers the situation
in all of its many chaotic, not to say
weird aspects, it must be admitted that
stranger things than this have hap
pened in politics.
There is probably no group of men
in Washington bette Uniformed on The
inside moves in the great political
game than is now being played than
the newspaper correspondents. Much
Of the information whcih comes to
them is confidential. especially as TO
it's source.
Also the correspondents, because of
their long and intimate experience, are
much given to lunches.
Recently about dozen Of the lead
ing political writer's took a poll among
til hemselves, eacll one writing IN 4 slip
Of paper the -ssmes Of the three men
s.s.om he cor s.siss n to-hase tic lest
chances for the Chicago nomination.
When the tabulation Of the vote was
made it was found that nine OF the
twelve had written Hughes name. The
only man who got more votes was
Lowden.
| confess that the strength which
Hughes showed in this poll rather sur
prised me, but was even mose sur
prised. when q number of politicians
with whom / afterward talked, agreed
that in their opinion the possibility OF
Hughes nomination was quite as greta
as that of any one of number OF
frequently mentioned dark horses.
There is this to be said for Hughes
that while he was defeated four years
ago. he is not held personally respon-
sible for that defeat by the party lead
ers generally.
It is held that he was the victim OF
a combination of circumstances over
which he had little or no control.
AS one of the political leaders ex-
nressed it: Hughes got dirty deal
four wears ago. Against his protest
we dragged him off of the supreme
bench and must the nomination on
him He made a clean and winning
fight and but for his betrayal in Cali
fornia would have been elected. There
are lot of us who feel that with re-
nublican prospects as good as they
are this year, Hughes has certain
claims on the party which are en-
titled to consideration.
