PINCHOTr PEPPE R
 ENMITY DANCE E ID PARTY, IS BELIEF
Coolidge Dynasty Threatened By Internal Bitterness, Is
 Party Leaders Claim
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ; NEnnI,anuAnn n C Semi 02 1


 Bitterness existing between Gov ernor Pinchot of Pennsylvania and Senator George W. Pepper Of Pennsylvania, constitutes a danger to the perpetuation of the Coolidge dynasty, in the opinion of leading re- publicans in Washington today.
 Senator Pepper, following a recent visit to the White House, issued statement to the erect that mas much as the governor of Pennsyl vania is an aspirant for the presi- dency, he would not commit him. self, at that time, to any asplrant. Inasmuch as Pinchot has not denied the soft impeachment" 1t is taken for granted that he VIII endeavor 70 secure the pledge of the Pennsyl vania delegation, and that in his ef- fort he will have the open opposi- tion of Senator Pepper.
 But for the attitude of Pinchot Pepper, it is taken for granted, would support the President. The situation, however, will bring out the real strong man in Pennsylvania, and whoever that strong man might be, he will. in all probability be trouble some to Coolidge if the fight against his nomination becomes bitter and prolonged.
 Within territory reserved by the "reactionary" wing, Pennsylvania constitutes the one source of danger, but not the only. Former Gov Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, is a receptive candidate. That he is strong and able is admitted. That he will be able to make a respectable showing in Chi- cago, is agreed.
 Would Have Been Nominated.
 But for the development of the fact that he secured delegations to the
 
 ditures, he would have been nomj mated there, it Is believed by many students, of c. O. P. politics.
 The other sources of danger are lodged in Hiram Johnson of Cali fornia and Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin. But were Pennsylvania and Illinois entirely in line, the Johnson and LaFollette movements could be choked off easily, 1t is be- lieved
 Practically alr prospective op- ponents of Coolidge are "watchfuliy waiting" If he blunders, they will enter the campaign aggressively. If he succeeds. however, in pacifying the western agrarian belt. there will be no material opposition, 1t Is indl- cated.
 News in democratic circles has not featured the week. There was discussion to the end that George
 
 gart, T. F. Ryan. Robert Scott. a Pennsylvania boss" and Clarl. Howell of Atlanta met in Washing ton in kind of conspiracy against the W. G. McAdoo boom, but no real fact to that end has been estab lished.
 It was reported subsequent to the meeting of those democrats that a4 least one of them, Mir Brennan, called on former President Wilson and was received a the S street home. It then was said that Brennan had found the former President will ing to accept the nomination in 1924 were it offered him after a fruit less attempt to nominate another in the next convention.
 Democrats here, however, general ly do not believe that MT. Wilson under any circumstances, would ac- cept the nomination next year even were he. physically able to partici- pate insia a eannpajg n. ssa'-l.sa
