tial fights and William Jennings Bry-
an is still very much alive and in evil
dence, but it annot be said that the
Democratic donkey stops, looks and,
listens when any n of these raises
his voice in an effort to make the
welktn ring. Nor will any one of
them have On opportunity this year
to demonstrate that he is a vote-get-
ter. -a &"H
Democrats Who May Loom Up. (.
However, there are some. Demo-
show their form. Senator Pom creme
I'm Ohio may be said to have an ex-
lceptional opportunity, He is a can
didate for a third election to the. SEN
ate in a state that is pivotal at all
times and that Is Of unusual impor-
lance now because it Is the home of
President Harding. Should he. win.
it would be a difficult matter to con-
vince him and his friends that he is
not the logical candidate for the Dem
ocrats to put up for the presidency in
1924.
Former, Governor Ralston of Indi-
n is another to be reckoned with.
He Is running for the senate against
the redoutable Albert jeremiah Bey-
eridge. Any Democrat who, can get
himself elected to the senate from the
Hoosier state, and particularly one
who can defeat Beveridge, necessarily
looms up as of presidential size. OF
course Mr.. Ralston has not accom-
plished either Of those things'as yet,
but he has his chance.
Former Goernor Smith Of New
York is in very much the same posi-
ton. All he has to do is to wrest the
senatorial toga from the Republican
shoulders Of Senator Calder to, be in
the running for the presidency.
Then there is "Iim" Reed Of Mis-
souri,, the stormy petrol of Democracy,
who won himself a senatorial renom-
nation in the face of all the opposi-
ton that the WILSON, element in his
state could rally against him. If he
is reelected he will be one Of the biz
factors in his party for many years
to come. He may not be able to carry
on the presidential prize himself, but
he will have something to say as to
who does get It.
There is perhaps less likelihood of
the development Of Republican can
didates for the presidency as a result
OF this ear campaign AS matters
stand now it is generally assumed
THAT President Harding will beia can
didate to succeed himself and that he,

Still another possibility is Senator

is q good year for him to make an
