Combinations May Be in Order
to Stop Wood and Bryan B0OmS

wearing rather a cocky air and entertain
ing high hopes. In the first place. things have
been smoothed out in Ohio with the Wood fac-
tion there, to promise assurance of
united delegation from the Buckeye state for the
senator for the presidential nomination
But the main of their encouragement
is declared to be their belief that the 1mpeno-
ing bitter fight between Gen. Wood and Gov
Lowden threatens situation in the convention
which will facilitate Senator Harding coming
through as a compromise candidate. Many po-
litical observers in the street are heard COM
menting to the effect.
The Harding boomers will not be downcast,
it is said, even should the primary selection
of delegates place him behind the other cand1-
dates in the actual number of delegates OBJ
tanned What they count most upon is the pos
sibility of these delegates checking and holding
off from victory either Lowden or Wood and
compelling the convention to turn to another,
whereupon they will say: Harding is the man.
William G. McAdoo is in a difficult position.
his friends say. That there is organized
effort in his behalf for the nomination is we'll
known, backed by Bernard Baruch and others.
Propaganda work has been going on for months.
But there is his father-in-law, the President, 1T

to the convention and previously in the
primaries for the selection of delegates The
embarrassment is obvious
At the same tlme the pont1claHS Oh tne III

their time, and meanwhile taking pains to over

Questionnaires, much in vogue since selective
draft days, will be in evidence in this campaign.
1t has been related how the prohbitionsts are
to "questionnaire" the presidential candidates
on enforcement of the dry laws and how the
treaty killers" in the Senate have started out
to inquire into the attitude of republican can
didates the league of nations.
The fact is, there is wide divergence of
opinion among republicans about throwing the
league of nations issue into the presidential
campaign. Some of the Senate anti-treaty lead
ers think it is the thing to do and they
supported by following outside. Other Senate
republicans of Importance take the opposite
view, and they have distinguished support in
the party leadership at large. The early weeks
of January may decide the which is to
be followed
Advices come to Washington from the

that throwing the league into the campaign may
be or may not be good political move, but
there is question that the overwhelming
timent of the country favors ratification of
the treaty with adequate reservations, ire

UTAH POLITICS AFFECTED
BY GEN. YOUNG'S DEATH
Was Democrats Most Likely Cub.
ernatorial Possibility or Oppo-
nent for Senator Smoot.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, January
(SpeciaD.-The death of Brig. Gen.
Richard w. Young has taken away
the most likely candidate of the DEM
ocratic party in Utah for the coming
Subernatoria1 election, or else the
candidate with whom the democrats
had hoped they could defeat Senator
Reed Smoot.
AS commander of the 14th Field
ArtiIIery-Utah's Own-and later COM
mander of the 65th Brigade of Field
Artillery, Gen. Young won probably
more distinction during the world
war than any other Utah man. His
record previous to this time. both as
a Regular Army officer and later as
an attorney in Salt Lake, made him
one of the leading figures in the
democratic party of Utah.
Gen. Young had always refused to
run for office, but it was reported in
democratic circles up until the time
of his death, last Sunday that he
would accept the nomination either
for governor or senator on the demo-
cratic ticket for the November cleo
tion. 1t is generally conceded that
the leaders of the democratic party in
Utah will have hard time to find a
man among their ranks who can hope
to have the strength Gen. Young
would have had.

RICHMOND. Va, January (Spe-
ciaD.-Virginia politicians are inter-
ested in the Comeback" Of William
Jennings Bryan. They have read
what he has had to say about mat
ters of public concern, they recall
that he has been strong in this state
in the past. and they know now that
if he shall make up his mind to force
the fighting in the next national con-
vention the delegates from this state
will be disposed to stand by him.
That is. they will be disposed to sup
port him if they undertake to rep
resent the rank and file of the dem
ocratic party. That is plain. Mention
Bryan to the average public man and
democrat and he will smile and say
that a man ought to win once in four
chances.
Leaders may not relish his return
to public view. but the voters of the
state at large are still fond of the
Nebraskan, and the organized work.

HARRISBURG, Pa. January (Spe-
ciaD.-Now that Maj. Gen. Leonard
Woods boom for the republican presi-
Dental nomination has been launched
formally in the west. leaders of the
party in Pennsylvania are waiting to
see the next move in this state and
how it will take. Beyond few in
formal conferences, at which forma-
ton of Wood clubs in eastern counties
was discussed, nothing has been done
since the holidays. Friends of the
general have been the only ones to
show signs of activity whatever to-
ward the winning of delegates in the
keystone state because of the atti-
tude of republican leaders that the
delegation should go unpledged, but
ready to vote for Gov. William c.

Sentiment that Pennsylvania Shouts
have no republican contests that
would interfere with possibilities for
Sproul has not needed much cultiva-
tion in this state. Men prominent in
business have been quietly building
up in their communities much sup
have behind him the solid strength

camp 1t is said that the other republican can

they claim.
Recalling the fact that upon the occasion
when Mr.. Bryan within ninety-six cleo
toral votes of the presidency and fell behind
his opponent only 100000 in the popular vote
of more than 100000 for the two of them,
they say such result accomplished by his
gathering unto himself a number of scattered
elements of liberalism, radcalism and reform.
This time his supporters think, it will be pos
sible again to assemble the classes, with
the addition of others, created by the changing
times. They expect him to take in all the pro-
hibitionists the bimetallists of both parties the
paciists, the German vote, the Irish. the pro-
gressive republicans. if the other party does not
nominate acceptable progressive. and the
labor vote in all its ramiicatous. And they
lean heavily on the expected support from labor
and the advocates of public ownership Of uti-
ties.
His supporters may not, it is said, engage in
an active campaign for delegates to the national
convention. There will be many uninstructed
delegations, many others rallying around

thing turns up. The play. it is believed, will be
to bring the Bryan prospective assets to the

GIRL FROM EASLEY MISSING.
Greenville Police Search for Miss
Frances Mauldin.

Greenville, Jan. 15.-Complete
mystery surrounds the disappearance
in Greenville yesterday of Miss Fran
ces Mauldin, 20 years old, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Elias Mauldin, OF
Easley, who was accompanied to the
Southern railway station here yester-
day about 2 O'Clock by friends with
whom she had been visiting, and VINO
has not been heard from since, al
though members of the family and
the city police force have been max
ing a thorough inquiry into the case.
Miss Mauldin had been visiting
her sister, Mrs. Frank Cunningham,
about a mile outside the city. She
was to return home yesterday and
was brought to the station here to
take train No. II by Rogers Cum
ningham, who left Miss Mauldin in
the waiting room. The family met
the train at Easley, and when Miss
Mauldin did not appear they con-
cluded that she had decided to stay
over another day. When, however,
she did not return today, they got into
communication with the Cunning
hams here, and upon hearing that the
young woman had gone to the station
the day before to return home, Mr..
Mauldin came to Greenville this af-
ternoon, and virtually. the entire po-
lice force was set to work upon the
problem. Up to late hour tonight
the search had yielded no results.
