WASHINGTON, Nov. IA battle
royal for tho control OF tho destinics
OF the Democratic party during the
coming four ycars now seems to be
inevitable battle that promises to
be the more ferocicus because OF the
belief in almost every Democratic
mind today that tho Harding regime
cannot hope To survive longer than
one term and that the mon who seize
the minority party reins now will ride
into rower in 1924.
AT the moment, there are three
distinct elements which arc seeking
TO dominate the party machinery af-
ter the reorganization which is 10
come during the next few months, a
reorganization which became newt
able after the disastrous defeat which
tho Cox-RooscvclL ticket suffered on
November 3
In tho first place. there Is the nd-
mlpistration Hropp who, because OF
thn Presidents invalidism and his
imminent rctiroment from public life,
are inclined to support Wiilinm G..
McAdoc as the new leader of the
party. In the next. place, there is
tho Cox group who contend that the
defeated candidate il entitled to and
must have n decisive voice in tho
affairs of the party. And In the
third place there is William j. Bryan,
who seoms determined to be in on
the ground foor in whatever deal
takes place

factors. One is tho feeling tha; Is
growing in many quarters that New
York will have an important hand
in the big game before tho finish
comes, and that if Governor "Al."
Smith should be a candidate in 1922
and should he elected. he will be
the logical candidate for tho presi-
dency in 1924. His amazing cam
'pnisn for reelection this year, when
he polled million more votes than
did Governor Cox in New York state,
gives him degree OF prestige which
Ia not discounted hero.
Also there Is In rae background
an apparent determination on the par,
or Southern Democrats to assert
themselves moro fcrcibly than ever
before in the party councils. Now
that the South is no longer Solid
