running mate in 1920.
Plans Went Wrong
II the plans had carried MI Len
root would be President OF the United
States today. But something went
wrong with the plans. The leaders
thought the task too easy. They
did not present the matter in a right
or spontaneous and impelling way
TO the tired delegates. They let a
little handful of Coolidge boomers
walk away with the plum Not even
Mr.. CoolIdge's home state proposed
him for the vice presidency They
or nothing.
So now there is discussion of the
availability OF Mr.. Lenroot again.
That he would be an ornament to the
office Is agreed. He would be q type
Of the conservative progressive which
would blend well with Mr.. Coolidge's 8
own ideas and political past Mr..
about as friendly as a couple Of
strange bull dogs It is one Of the
strange things in politics that these
two men. so opposed to each other,
can both win the votes of the same
people in their state. Mr.. La Fol-
lette, as usual. will be the choice Of
the Wisconsin delegation for the
presidency next year. In 1920 the
delegation voted for Bob" first, last
and all the time.
Balances New England.
The west must figure on the Cool
idge ticket as an offset to the cry
Of New England domination at
Washington" which is certain 10 be
raised as democratic slogan. Al
ready II has been heard abroad in the
land, and there will be more Of it be-
fore that Tuesday in November next
when the will Of the people Is ex-
pressed at the polls.
Some republicans have had the
temerity recently to suggest that
Speaker Gillett of the House Of Rep
resentatives should be beheaded as a
sentiment. But Mr. Gillctt has NOT
seen 1t in that light at all. AS soon
as he returned from Europe he quick
1y put a Quietus on the talk that he
might withdraw as candidate to
succeed himself in the next Congress-
Mr.. Giilett is going to stand for re-
election and Is going to get the
gavel. That's all threshed out al
ready.
Western Man to Preside.
The new presiding officer of the Sen
ate is to be from somewhere out there
where men are men. That also has
been threshed out. When Mr.. Coolidge
moved his own particular bit of New
England domination from the Senate to
the White House 1t was agreed that
no New Englander should succeed him
So in the absence OF a Vice President
to direct its sessions the Senate will
choose President pro tempore from
somewhere west Of the father OF waters
In short. Miss New England is going
to fiirt with the broad-hatted men Of
the west these next few months IA she
never fiirted before. New England, de-
spite her long prominence at Washing
ton. has not had President before in
seventy years and she wants to keep
him.

By ROBERT r. SMALL.

Despite the "favorite son. boomlets
which are appearing here and there
on the presidential horizon-some of
them no larger than a mans individ-
ual ambition-the supporters OF CAL
yin Coolidge for the republican nomi-
nation feel SO certain OF their ground
that they are casting about for the
Presidents running mate.
1t is agreed that In some manner
Mr. Coolidge must be linked up with
the west mot the far west, but that
great central belt Of the country
where progressivism stalks abroad
and where the Ku Klux Khan recent
ly has reared its ghostly head.
Would Head on Johnson
Mr.. Coolidge's running mate must
be a progressive. Maybe he will be
selected before the convention meets
This IS not usually done. "A con-
vention must have something &c
amuse itself with" said Col. Roose.
Welt once. But the advance selection
may be made this time in order to
cut off as much steam as possible
from the Hiram Johnson limited ex.
press, and to deter others from en-
terins the field.
The men who are engineering the
Coolidge nomination feel they can
name the vice presidential nominee
with equal ease. In other words, II
courtesy would give him permission
to name the man to go before the
people with him.
In the discussion hero OF vice presi-
Dental possibilities on the Coolidge
ticket. three names stand out. One
Is that of Senator Arthur w. Capper
of Kansas. Senator Capper is a pro-
gressive, and he is a great friend of
the farmer. His farm press reaches
into thousands of farmhouses. One
task of the republican party next
year VIII be to pacify the farmer and
bring him into closer sympathy with
republican aims. Mr.. Capper Is be-
lieved to be one who could do this.
Allen Also Mentioned.
Another Kansan stands high on the
vice presidential list of much dis
cussed eligibles. He is former Gov.
Henry J. Allen. Gov. Allen has
proved his progressivism and his
political strength on more than one
occasion. In many ways he fits ex-
actly into the program OF the men
who are behind President Coolidge.
They believe Allen would give the
Coolidge ticket the needed strength
through all the west. Gov. Allen not
only is progressive. but he was a pro-
gressive when Roosevelt and Pincho
and Hiram Johnson were progress
sives. SO 1t can readily be seen that
he belongs to a branch OF the re-
party which is entitled
to much consideration.
The third bit Of vice sidential
timber being talked about is Senator
Lenroot OF Wisconsin. It would be
an odd piece of political irony II
Mr.. Lenroot should eventually be the
man chosen. For 1t is no secret
that Senator I.enroot had been de-
cided upon by the men back Of War

Suspicion centers, the police said
on q group of six men who were seer
late last night with suspicious-loo
ing packages. Witnesses said tho

with the other package, went toward

Buildings Guarded.
While search is being instituted for
the six men, foreign consular build

The three men held by the police
are said to be known as radicals.
Authorities here believe that tn.

by any local condition. but Were
rather the result Of radical or anti

Both Emilio de Motta. the Spanish

much more optimistic over theil

But even if the conservatives were

chancellor was helpless, as politician
in Germany usually is when the mill
itary once gets the power into its
own hands.
1t also Is believed widely that Gen.
Won Seeckts sudden order prohibiting

Stresemann's position. For. however
desirable such action may be. il was
political act done by military
man. and hence aroused suspicion.
briefly this: The socialists asked
Chancellor Stresennann. what will
you do to control the reichswehr
question:" and Stresemann replied,
Il can't do anything" Hence. he re-
cr in the hands Of Gen. Won Seeckt.

1t is not known why President

The situation remains full Of dam
