Wilson Expected to Name
Three Vote Pullers on
New Shipping Board.
(PubIic Ledger seryfee.)

Democrats are fostering fond
hopes of making ,inrcads upon the
Republican strength between now
ana November by way OF tender
ing governmental appointments to
leading progressives within the pale
Of the G. o. P. This was apparent
yesterday with the expectation that
President Wilson would choose the
three Republican members of tho
new Shipping Board from the pros
gressive wing of that party.
Representative Thomas Hefiin, Of
Alabama. who recently was elected
to the Senate in the State primaries.
pointed out that already the Pres
ident had made a strong bid for
progressive support of the Demo-
cratic party in the appointment Of
Victor .Murdock to tno cnairmanship
of the FNEeral Trade Commission
and cambridge Cclby as Secretary
OF State.
He aiso cited the election of John
Parker as governor of Louisiana
as evidence that the Democrats had
a very cordial regard for progress
sive Republicans. Mr.. Parker was
a supporter of President Theodore
Roosevelt. but later abandoned that
cause to join the Democratic party
and be rewarded with the govurn-
orship of his State.
The nomination OF Franklin d.
Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, rs the Democratic Vice
Presidential candidate is generally
regarded here a. a move in the
same direction. While Nj. Roose-
welt has no. been affiliated with the
Republican party. he Is frequently
classified as q progressive Demo
crat."
There is also a strong feeling
that his name will be of no small
advantage to the Democratic party
in wooing the former followers of
President Roosevelt. He is expected
to bring considerable strength to
Democracy in the West, where
President Roosevelt held sway to
such advantage.
Confidence I'm West.
Democrats believe that the West
will be quite susceptible to favors
shown members of the Republican
party. who have at one time or an
other been prominently identified
with the Bull Moose. In many
quarters they seem to believe that
the strength they may obtain from
what are normally Republican
States should come from progress
sives.
Republicans. however, see in the
announcement from Senator Hiram
Johnson, of California, that he will
throw his strength to Warren G.
Harding. the Republican candidate.
distinct blow to the hopes OF
Democrats. Mr.. Harding's success
in rallying TO the party banner all
elements within the party has been
a source of great satisfaction to
Republicans.
It Is believed that he will be able
to offset all attempts by Democrats
to utilize their appointive powers to
their advantage by bringing the
Republicans more solidly together
than they have been for eight years.
Republicans cannot see that the
Presidents out-of-party appoint
ments have drawn from their
strength.

three matters that are considered at
the present time to be a menace to
the peace of Europe.
The council of the league, which
Of itself can take no action, but re-
ports to the full assembly in which
all member nations have vote for
final determination, meets today in
London under a call by the British
government officially to take up the
final disposition of the Aland Islands,
claimed by both Sweden and Fin
land Preparations have been made,
however, for the injection of at least
two other questions into the ses-
sions-Poland and Fiume.
Poland Hopeful.
Poland, it is said here, will renew
it's request that some assistance be
rendered to it to prevent the war
ravaged country from going under
before the crush of the Bolshevist
armies. A prior request of such a
character was refused. but the Pol
ish authorities this time have en-
listed the aid of such a powerful
sympathizer as Marshal Foch and
hope to be able to force the council
of the league to refer the matter to
the assembly.
There have been reports here also
that Italy. torn by internal dissen-
sion. had found the task allotted to
it of settling with the Jugo-Slavs
the question of Fiume, too great.
Projection of this issue into the
foreground is said to have played a
prominent part in the overthrow of
the Nitti government and is an en-
barrassing question that the Giolet-
ii ministry has been unable to meet
satisfactorily. At the time of the
last crisis on the Adriatic impasse
IT was announced that the allies
would accept any settlement of the
Fiume question that would not in
volve the territorial rights of
third nation and that in event no
conclusion could be reached the
matter would be referred again to
the supreme council. Italy now, il
is said. admitting it's stability TO
each settlement, prefers action
by the council and assembly of the
league to that of the Supreme Coun-
ell.
