INFLUENCE OF RADICAL WING
AGAINST PALMER.

The last charge influences probably
only the radical wing Of the Demo-
cratic party which, in any event,
would not stick with the Wilson kind
Of democracy no matter whether
Palmer. McAdoo or any other heir OF
The Wilson policies were nominated.
This group still holds Mr. Wilson
responsible for Postmaster General
Burleson's repression OF liberal"
periodicals and considers the treaty
and league Objectionable as not being
liberal enough, not containing more
Of the doctrines Of internationalism.
But on the whole Mr. McAdoo, by
keeping out Of public office since the
armistice, has seemed to improve his
chances with the rank and file of the
Democrats, while Mr.. Palmer has been
under fire right along. Gov. Cox of
Ohio is a serious contender, but just
now Mr.. McAdoo is in the lead. That
is not an individual opinion. 1t is the
consensus of the Democrats who are
on the inside of things and who know
what the leaders OF delegations are
apt TO do on the final count at San

Among them are Prince Ernst of

in the Namur district of Belgium.

II as an eaicleney programme in The

well as an efficiency programme in the
executive end
Major Gen. Wood has a splendid
organization and has surprised even
his admirers here by the way ne has
moved forward. But II the truth be
told the disinterested leaders are
afraid to name a soldier candidate.
The way the fight on the bonus bill
has fiuctuated Is an indication Of the
uncertainty here as to what might
happen to a soldier candidate, and the
opposition TO universal military train
ing which killed that measure in the
House Of Representatives Is another
sign Of the unexpected weakness OF
the soldier element in our politics at
the close of q big war.
To-day the situation is, OF course,
full OF uncertainties-but to-day it
looks like McAdoo for the Democratic
nomination, GOV. Lowden for the Re
publican, and Senator johnson for the
third party with the chances of Her
bert Hoover being the Republican
candidate still not an impossible con-
tingency. His chances for the Demo-
cratic nomination are gone. He has
read himself out Of that party by his
attitude In the California primaries.
And he has failed to rouse Republi-
can strength by his hesitancy to de-
clare himself a Republican. His ad-
visers have hurt Herbert Hoover's
chances, but he is probably. at fault
for listening to them. Lowden, Nc
Adoo and Johnson are in the front
rank to-day.

SIMS 5ELITTLED v. s. NAVY IN
TALK WITH CONGRESSMAN,

Secretary Daniels presented a
letter from former Representative
Carin, OF Virginia, dated last April
20, and stating that while Mr. Carlin
was visiting London in December,
1918. Admiral Sims had "disabused'
his mind OF the view that "our navy
had been OF great Importance during
the war and had accomplished spleh-
did results"
HE told me our navy was small
and ineffective as compared with
the British Navy, and that our
achievements had amounted to
but little during the war;" wrote
Mr.. Carlin. II remember that
after leaving the Admiral told
my son, who was with me, that
the Admiral should be in the
British Navy and on their pay
roll and not on ours"
Admiral Sims's charge that the
Navy Department refused to send
enough anti submarine vessels to the
war zone was disproved by the Ad-
mirals own language, Mr.. Daniels
testified, He read cable from Sims
dated April 28, 1917, stating that
| twenty American destroyers operating
! from Queenstown would put down
| the submarine activity and keep II
down, by the end of'May there were
twenty eight destroyers and two
tenders at Queenstown.
Thus we had despatched, within
a month, more than the British War

SPLIT IS CERTAIN
IN BOTH PARTIES
OVER THE LEAGUE
Continued From First. Page)

Toilette on a platform opposing the
entire treaty and League and reser-
vationS
Support for the third party will come
from friends OF William jennings
Brya. who will probably wage an
unsuccessful fight in the San Fran
cisco convention against the Wilson
platform, though Mr. Bryan himself
would be prevented from supporting
a third party which condemned the
treaty and the league inasmuch as he
himself is ready to accept the Lodge
reservations in the interest of a start
toward peace.
support for the third party win also
come from those Democrats, partic-
ularly of Irish extraction, who think
Article x of the covenant interferes
with the prospect of Irish freedom
and they are lining up solidly behind
Hiram johnson. OF course Republi-
cans fond. of johnson will join third
party IL he or some one OF his View
point heads a third ticket. The new
party will acquire strength from the
so o-caIled Liberal or Radical Wings
OF the two big rarties.
LEADERS ON BOTH SIDES ARE
GREATLY CONCERNED.
This readiustment or realignment
of political forces is causing no little
concern to both Republicans and
Democrats. The Republicans are su-
premely confident that the defections
will not be considerable. The Demo-
Gratis think the departure of john
son and his following from the regu-
lar Republican Party will make the
league reservationist programme
easy to attack, and that the real
friends OF the league will see the
Democratic platform as the only
means of bringing about an early
partnership OF the United states in
the present League of Nations.
But irrespective of the Treaty is
sues, the personal questions in each
party are getting more and more
vital. William Gibbs McAdoo has
the edge on the Democratic nomlna-
tion. BY insisting on uninstructed
delegations and keeping himself out
OF the office seeking class by ma
neuvers of receptiveness only, he mas
impressed Democrats in the capital
here as a shrewd politician.
Mitchell Palmer Is well liked and
probably has more strength among
the members Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee than has McAdoo,
but the'1atter was in the game before
| Palmer began. Delegates were tied
| to the McAdoo bandwagon when that
Individual was Secretary of the Treas
| TRY and Director General OF Railroads
lie got an early start. Added to this
are the mistakes made by Palmer
or rather the groups he has rightly
or wrongly antagoniZed. He is under
| lttack for failing to reduce the cost
| Of living, for alternating labor by his
| policy in the coal Injunction suits and
for his wholesale raids on so-called
| Reds"

Mr.. Daniels also read a letter from
Admiral Sims TO former Ambassador
Page at London, written Aug. Z, 1917,
which in part said:
ain this connection I have a
suggestion to make. have re-
oeived word, practically direct
from the President, that he was
much displsaSed with my reply
TO his eableerani that II did not
change his opinion at all; that he
regarded me as owned by the
Admiralty and so pro British that
he seriously considered the ad-
visibility Of replacing me by some
other officer"
Admiral Sims's reply to the Presi-
dent told also Of plans for combined
sea and land attack to turn the Ger
man right flank and cut off Zeebrugge
as a provisioning base, Mr.. Daniels
said.
"That was the kind of bold and
audicious' thing the President and the
Navy Department had been urging
from our entry into the war" declared
the Secretary. But even then, Ad.
