McAdoo in Adroit Moves

Crown Prince" as he surely would
have been by anti-Wilson Demo-
Gratis as we'll as Republicans. Also.
there was the very important rea-
sons of his personal fortunes. Mr.
McAdoo at the time was only lately
retired from the cabinet and was
busily engaged in building himself
up a law practice to repair the raw
ages 10 his personal finances caused
by some years in the public service.
But now, according to his friends.
the situation Is entirely different
BY 1924 it is figured that will
sonism.' the chief cry of 1920, will
have been forgotten. At least Mr..
Wilson will by that time have been
so long out of the white house and
Mr.. McAdoo so far removed from
governmental affairs and contact
with his fatehr- in-law that his
enemies can no longer apply the
term Crown Prince" TO his presi-
Dental aspirations.
Also. it is understood in Wash
ington that Mr.. McAdoo's personal
fortunes are now such. thanks to
indulge his political tastes to any
extent he pleases.
SEEN As POLITICAL STRATEGY.
The move TO California Is looked
upon as a piece of first-rate politi-
cal strategy. Mr.. McAdoo will not
by his move. and it is figured he
will gain some extremely valuable
western ones. TOO much strength
with some eastern Democrats does
not sit well with certain elements
OF the west and south, anyway.
The expectation that the west is
going to play a more prominent
part in political affairs than, hereto
fore also enters into the calcula-
lions which the McAdooites are
making They believe that the age
long dominance OF national politics
by the big Industrial financial east
is about over and that the west is
going to make strong bid for the
white house within the next decade.
California is an ideal location
from every respect. but principally
clinlatically and politically While
normally Republican il has been
known to stray into the Democratic
column. notably on one historic oc-
casion in 1916, resulting in a second
term for Woodrow Wilson.
Also, 1t is not overlooked that the
removal of Mr.. McAdoo to the far
west gives the west a strong ma
tional Democratic figure for the
first time in recent years. The Dem
ocrats appear to be making. a
strate gio distribution OF their
forces, perhaps for campaign pur-
poses. McAdoo Is in the west.
Bryan has lately removed TO the
south. Cox is in the saddle in the
Ohio belt. and in the east there are
always plenty of leaders--too many
sometimes.

Interpret His Move to

Gibbs McAdoo, son-in-law Of Wood
dow Wilson, and runner-up to
James M Cox in tho San Francisco

that Mr.. Wilson has not been una
ware OF his son-in-law's stragetic
move, which is nicely timed so a to
give him two years residence on
the Pacific Coast before the primar-
les and nominating convention of
1924 roll around. 1t is even chatted
about in the cloakrooms and Hobbies
of the Capitol that Mr.. Wilson is
not wholly without responsibility
In the matter.
WHAT'S BEHIND MOVE
Behind Mr.. McAdoos move lies
considerable political tale.
Throughout the uncertain pre-
convention campaign of $780, and
even in the tense days at San Fran
cisco Mr.. Wilson sat quietly In the
White House, never indicating by
word or deed whether he was a can
didate to succeed himself Nor did
he have anything TO do with the
frantic efforts which were being
made in some quarters in behalf Of
his son-in-law. 1t is said he didn't
want to see McAdoo the nominee
Mr.. McAdoo's friends at that
time were just as well satisfied to
have 1t So 1t was a question in
the Summer of 1920 whether the
open and active support of Mr.. VIII
sen would have been an asset or a
liability.
In fact. according to the close
friends OF the former Treasury
head. Mr.. McAdoo himself was not
wildly enthusiastic about the 1920
nomination He would have run II
drafted" at San Francisco, feeling
that II was more or less family
duty. hut he was not tearing Up
heaven and earth to get the Job.
The shadows of a 100000 Re-
publican majority were even then
beginning 10 fall athwart the white
house. and Mr.. McAdoo realized
that q smashing defeat Is not ex-
actly q good political asset for the
future
