H-William Gibbs McAdoo.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Unquestionably the contest which will
excite most interest in the next twelve
months will be the selection of a demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency
Having interviewed democratic lead
ers in many parts of the country. !; is
undeniable that no single candidate
stands out as in the lead. The fact
is that democratic leaders in all parts
of the country are in an inquisitive
mood and that they are carefully
M,.eu.Le The merits of various men
whose names have been mentioned.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about the present state of affairs in
the democratic party is the strong SEN
timent for William Gibbs McAdoo.
former Secretary of the Treasury and
director general of the railroads. 1t
is remarkable because Mr. McAdoo pub
licly declined TO be Il candidate at the
last convention, and his friends were
unable to win the nomination chiefly

because of the son-in-law relationship
Of Mr.. McAdoo to Woodrow Wilson.
What was considered a liability then,
however. now is being talked of by
his friends as an asset.
War Sentiment.
The disposition of the country in 1920
was to forget quickly as possible all
ell that happened during the war. Con-
sideration of any one who was con-
nected with the wartime administra-
ton as a possible candidate for the
presidency was met with the state

1924 of man identified with war
time restrictions revive the contro-
versies which caused so much Of the
whelming defeat of the democratic
party in 1920? That's the greatest OBJ
stacle that the McAdoo movement has
to overcome. Curiously enough. how
ever, the strength of McAdoo today Is
not his achievements during the war,
finances of the United States govern
ment-the largest transactions that ever
were carried on by a Secretary of the
Treasury in this or any other country
the remarkable loyalty of his friends,
who have left no stone unturned since
the last convention to make it possible
for Mr.. McAdoo to get delegates, and
the amazing hold which Mr.. McAdoo
has on organized labor, particularly the
railroad men of the country. Even
in 1920 Mr.. McAdoo was regarded as
A strong candidate because of his hold
on the railroad workers. But if he had
strength then with the railroad men, he
has redoubled it since.
The railroad workers have gone
through a series of disappointments
since the private owners took back
the railroad systems of the country
and they realize now what the rail-
road executives have tried to do in
breaking down the standards, work.
