mentS OF avowed candldateS Tor
the Presidency, proposals for tax
reduction, and the reorganization
of Congress are the absorbing
topics Of the day in Washington.
No definite arrangements have
been made by the administration
but it is the contention Of Presi-
dent Coolidge to confer with
Senate and House leaders within
a few days.
There is no shortage of appli-
cants for the American peoples
consent to occupy the Executive
Mansion. Senator Hiram John
son. of California, the perennial
candidate for the job, has left no
doubt in the public mind as to
his ambitions. Like William Jen-
nings Bryan, the Senator believes
the American voter may yet
recognize his claims despite the
opinion of party leaders. The
feeling exists in Washington that
Johnson will not command the
attention that made him a strong
candidate in the primaries of
1920. Johnson is placing his
faith in states where primaries
are held prior to the convention.
Political observers hold that
states conducting primaries are
in the minority and that the
majority Of state delegations
are hand picked" Senator La
Toilette is expected to make a
bid for the nomination as his
ambitions have been thwarted
in the past. The Wisconsin Sena-
tor will draw heavily on the
Middle West and thus weaken
Johnson's influence
Leaders of both parties are
making every effort to prevent
a stampede for a "favorite son."
Congress holds the key to Presi-
dent Coolidge's candidacy. II is
the concensus of opinion that the
present incumbent of the White
House would sweep the conven-
tion-if it were held before
December /. His ability to man.
age the incoming Congress is
seriously questioned and the
net result of his efforts will be
reflected in the meeting Of the
Republican clans in June. Re-
gardless of the performance of
Congress, Mr.. Coolidge has a
marked advantage over Mr.. john
son. Political wise acres say that
the bloom is off the peach"
insofar as Johnson is concerned.
They hold that he has no issues
and has been forced into the
political graveyard for theme.
Mr.. Johnson, in his first state
ment. revived the League Of
Nations, World Court and Rep
arations issues which the G. o. p.
hopes to sidetrack, believing that
the question of Americas inter-
national relations were definitely
settled in the seven million ma
jority of the 1920 campaign.
William GIBBS McAdoo has like
wise INDUCED in the popular pas
time of throwing his hat into
the ring" Apparently Mr.. Nc
Adoo is not clear as to his plat
form, as he declares for a tax
reduction and a bonus. II is
said that in favoring an adjusted
compensation for veterans. Nc
Adoo is making a play for the
support of the American Legion.
Of the Treasury Mellon
has projected the tax reduction
ssue into such a popularity that
Mr.. McAdoo favors it.
The Mellon proposals for light
ening the burden of taxes has
made a tremendous hit with the
