Candidacy" Likely to End
Like Hooyers Did il 1920.
View Here.
By WILLIAM HARD.

Democratic political circles here
were afflicted with great mental
pain today when the manager of
one of the most distinguished
Democratic candidates for the
nomination for the Presidency
next year was authoritatively re-
ported to have said that at this
present moment it seemed likely
that Henry Ford would have more
delegates than anybody else at
the start Of the next Democratic
convention.
Revives Fav0rite Sons Talk.
The immediate effect of this
piece of highly unwelcome news
was a great revival of plans for
the bringing forward Of "favorite
sons in the Democratic Presi-
Dental primaries and conventions
next spring. It is calculated that
the voters of Mississippi, for in
stance, might readily bestow their
affections upon the founder of the
flivver and the magician of Muscle
Shoals, rather than upon McAdoo.
Of California, or Ralston, of Indi-
ana, or Cox of Ohio or any other
first-rank nationwide candidate
but It is also calculated that they
could not possibly resist the attrac
tiveness of the idea of having Mis-
sissippi cast It's first ballot in the
next Democratic national conven-
ton for that upright gentleman,
that accomplished scholar, that vet
eran public servant, John Sharp
Williams, who happens to come
from Mississippi.
It is similarly calculated that in
Virginia Mr.. Ford could be forced
to give way to Carter Glass, now
United States Senator, and that
in Arkansas he could be obliged to
yield to Joseph r. Robinson, now
likewise United States Senator and
additionally Democratic floor leader
In the next Senate.
The Democratic political man
| ayers in Washington are cruelty
wronged when it is alleged or as
sumed that they are thinking OF
Henry Ford as possible lever for
prying Harding out of the Presi
dental chair: They remember
clearly that Ford In 1915 was a
republican with delegates voting
| AVA hiiI III tic IkeDuDllCdn national
convention. They remember clearly
also that after having been a Re
publican in 1915 he was a Demo
Graf in 1918, and ran in the Mich
gan Democratic Senatorial primary
but they remember with equa
clearness that in that year-1918--
he ran simultaneously in the Re
publican Senatorial primary. They
then go on to remember that while
Ford was both Republican anG
Democratic in 1918, he seems since
that time to have been quite sue
cessfully neither Republican = MOI
Democratic. They want Demo
crat in the White House, and the
ablest among them would mostly
prefer to lose with Democrat
than to win with Ford.
A Gloomy Outlook.
They accordingly, in any State
where Ford seems likely to show
strength, will tend to discover a
"favorite son" who will locally OBJ.
scure Ford in the minds and hearts
of the local voters; and it happens
that meanwhile West Virginia will
have a "favorite son" in John w
Davis, former ambassador to Lon,
don. and Massachusetts a "favorite
son" in David I. Walsh, Senator
and New Jersey a "favorite SON.

De VALERA
RIJMORED
TAKEN
Free State Officials Await Con-
firmation Of Report From /
Wicklow.
BY DANIEL O'CONNELL.
IntnrnationaI Nemn Service.

DUBLIN, April 16.-Eamonn
de Valera, head of the Irish re-
publican movement and the most
spectacular figure in turbulent
Irish politics, was reported today
to have been captured by Free
State troops at Roundwood,
County Wicklow, Is miles from
Dublin.
Report UncOnfirmed.
Up to noon Free State military
headquarters lin Dublin were unable
to confirm the report, although they
were in communication with the
Free State commandant at Round
wood.
A communique was issued an
nouncing the capture of many Ir-
regulars, but 1t did not mention
de Valera.
This is the second time De
Valera has been reported captured
within a week.
Ever since Liam Lynch. chief of
staff of the Republican Irregular
army, was fatally wounded and
captured, Free state troops in Tip
perary county and Kilkenny have
been hot on the trail of the elusive
De Valera.
Surrender Expected.
He was reported in hiding in the
mountains near Clonmel, but six
columns OF Free State troops
under General Prout made q fine
tooth search without getting any
trace of the Republican President"
as De Valera styled himself.
Before the report of De Valera 8
capture was received, belief had
prevailed here that he would either
be captured or surrender voluntarily
before the end Of the week.
Those who have seen De Valera
lately said his health is giving way
from the constant strain. He is
worn and haggard. The republican
movement, already tottering, is ex-
pected to collapse completely when
De Valera Is taken.
De Valera has been a fugitive
since the Four Courts battle in
Dublin last June. De Valera took
part in this engagement. When the
rebels were beaten De Valera and
his followers fled from Dublin,

SCOW, April 49, Official

defense of the anti-religious move
ment. They defend conditions in
Russia, especially as they relate to

Mrs. Minor Sounds Warning
of influences That Deny
Sacredness of Home.

"Stand by the Constitution and
the flag, for many are seeking
to mutilate or destroy the Con-
stitution and to haul down the
| flag. Rather let as run up the
| flag safe in the hearts of all
Americans, where no other flag
can fly"
Mrs. George Maynard Minor,
president-general of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution,
sounded this warning and called
upon the womanhood of Amer
| lea to eradicate radicalism In her
address today when the Thirty
second Continental Congress con-
vened In Continental Memorial
Hall.
UphOlds q. s. Traditions.
Mrs. Minor in her last public
utterance to members OF the organ
ization as its president declared for
lunequivocal Americanism. She
branded every phase of patriotism
false, excepting that which stood
down by the forefathers OF the coun-
try.
Long before the time set for the
opening, the 1000 or more delegates
began to assemble in the hall. Dele
CATION after delegation, represent
| ing every State in the Union, arrived
to participate in what is expected to

held by daughters.
On every hand the paramount
topic was the coming election Of

apprised the delegates of, the ar
rival of the president general and
her escort.
Mrs. Minor entered the hall pre-.
ceded by 200 pages and the national
tofficers of the organisation.
The procession passed down the
main isle, assembled the stage, the
pages marching around the outer
edges of the auditorium where they
remained throughout the morning
exercises. The national officers
took their places on the stage.
Mrs. Minor was received with
tremendous ovation. She carried
large bouquet of American Beauty
roses. Taking her place in the
center Of the rostrum she formally
called the congress to order.
A prayer was then offered by
Mrs. SeIden P. Spencer, chaplain
general.
Assembly Salutes Flag.
This was followed by salute to
The Flag. Two pages, dressed in
white with white silk sashes dropped
from their left shoulders, carried
the colors to the front Of the stage.
Miss Annie wallace, chairman Of
the committee on the correct use
of the flag, stepped forward. and
while the entire AUDIENCE stood at
salute, the Star-Spangled Banner
was sung.
