Needless to say, the Wood people
are doing their utmost to get Foristel
back in line, but the fact that he au-
thorized the Tribune correspondent to
quote him gives little hope for any sue
cess IN that direction.
incidentally, Forstel holds the key
mltted by every one here, Democrats
and Republicans alike. The situation
is that the st. Louis Republican ma

This is the elepenth Of a series Of on,
t'ctes by Carter Field on the political
outlook an the po,Ious states.
By Carter Field

ST. LOUIS, Feb. THE thirty-six
votes of Missouri at the Republican
National Convention, which were "abso-
lutely sewed up" for Leonard Wood in
December, will probably be divided be-
tween Senator Harding, Of Ohio, and
Governor Lowden of Illinois on the first
ballot. Harding, according to the best
information obtainable here. will have
big majority Of the delegation, but
Lowden will have few, unless the
members should cast their ballots as a
unit, in which case the entirc thirty
six will vote for Harding on the first
ballot
There is no room for doubt about the
situation here. The Republican leaders,
who will be In complete control of the
state convention and the delegation,
this not being primary state, make no
bones about the fact that there has
been switch, nor about why the switch
was made.
1t happened when John r. King re-
signed as Woods campaign manager.
King had lined the Republican leaders
was talk between King and Edward
Foristel, OF St. Louis, at New York in
October, when the groundwork was laid.
Another talk at Chicago, at which the
general was present, decided Foristel
in favor of the Wood boom. He 10
turned to St Louis, set the wheels in
motion and the word went down the line
that there was nothing to it but Wood.
Then King resigned and Foriste! lost
interest The Wood Club, which had
been started with Judge Henry Lamm.
of Sedalia, Republican candidate for
Governor four years ago, as pres dent,
languished, and the Wood movement
died natural death, so far as most
OF Missouri is concerned.
Foristel and his friends were much
impressed with Wood and still a1e.
What they say they we're little afraid
of. even at first, was that Wood had
become so much of soldier that his
administration, if he should be Presi-
dent, would have a military smack.
They were particularly afraid that he
would rely fer advice on his old friends
in the army, rather than on the coun-
sci of men who know politics and po-
litical conditions. King Convinced
them that their fears were groundless,
and they got in line.
Now they believe that Kings dis-
missal as campaign manager was on
the advice of army officer friends of
Wood. They believe that Wood would
tary and social friends, and they 90
not like this.

Republican Women
Calling, for Place

Miss Hay Says Leaders Now
Want Post of Secretary

New Presidential Family

Mics Mary Garrett Hsy, chairman OF
the executive committee of tho WON
GUS division Of the Republican, Ia.
tional Committee, after visiting TWEEN
ty-ninc states and comforting with
women leaders. said yesterday that the
Republican womcn were unanimous and
enthusiastic for creating 4 new Cabinet
office Secretary Of Education and
naming woman for the place. The
women also viii ash the Republican Ma
tional Convention TO adopt a minimum
wage plank and a child labor law that
VIII withstand attacks on its ccnstitu~
tionality.
Miss Hay says that she expects
thirty-siX states VIII have ratified the
suffrage amendment TO the Federal Con-
stitution before the Republican Ma
tional Convention meets in Chicago on
June 8.
In the twonty-nine states I visited
on my trip through the West I talked
with thousands Of ao.ucn," said Miss
Hay yesterday to . Tribune reporter.
They want woman n the next PreBi-
dents Cabinet. They eyacet the next
President viii DO Republican; that he
will stand on the platform to be adopt
ed at Chicago, and that he will favor
the creation OF new Cabinet Office
Secretary Education with a woman
at the head of the department. The
Republican women the Western
states arc not discussing favorite sons
for President. They are considering
what the Republican party is going to-
stand for in its platform and declared
principles
Il heard little or no talk Of por-
sonalities. The women I talked With
expect that the Republican leaders will
send liberal sprinkling Of women
delegates to the national convention.
They do not demand an equal number
with tpe men, but they expect some.
l. talked with many women formerly
allied with the Democratic party. They,
as well as the Republican women, ex-
pect that the Republicans will elect
their candidate next November.n
Asked about the outlook for univer-
sal woman suffrage next fall, Miss
Hay said:
I'VE all expect that the necessary
h 'rty-siX states VIII have ratified the
amendment before the fall election.
Twenty seven already have ratified and
four states-IGaho Nevada, New Mex
leo and Arizona-have called special
sessions for the disposition OF the
suffrage question:

Spencer Is being hurt in st Louis,
and helped out in the country, by his
dry" vote in the Senate. The organ
ization men arc afraid that the cut
ting which might occur if he were re-
nominated would throw he election to
the Democratic candidate
On the Democratic side so far the
only entrant is Breckinriage Long,
Assistant Secretary of State. lie is in
the state now fighting for the election
OF Democratic member Of the House
from the Sd Congressional District.
The confidential opinion Of the poli-
tclans Of both parties is that he will
be beaten if the Republicans select the
right man.
The situation is this said one man
who knows considerable about Missouri
politics, "Governor Gardner Demo
crat, is. sounding out the state, county
by county, town by town, almost pre-
cinct by precinct. He is one Of the
best sounders-out 7 know. If he finds
rhat II Democrat can be elected Senator
this time he will go into the race, and
Mr.. Long might rs well retire. say
this with the kindest feeling for Long,

goes into the race I shall expect to
see him not only nominated but
elected. If he stays out, Long viii take
beating, and we will have q Republi-
can Senator"
This is complicated slightly by the
fact that Champ Clark may enter the
Senatorial race. He has not made uu
his mind. One Of the impclling mo-
tives is that the Republicans are go
ing after the 9th Congressional Dis
trict very hard this year They have
agreed on 7. W. Huckriedc to oppose
Clark, or whoever may be the Demo
cratic nominee, and the district looks
like easy picking to thom, especially
with the tide in Missouri running
strong against the Democrats.
Another of the elements in Missouri
which is working against the Democrats
is the feeling through the state grow
ing out of the last gubernatoriai clec.
ton -FOUR years ago. Tha Republicans
contended that Judge Lamm was
elected, and counted out by fraud.
Under the election laws Of the stare

test before one can be made When the
Republicans attempted to have the bal
