.S|LZER DOOMED
FOR PRESIDENCY
Governor Speaker at Jeffer-
son Dinner in New York
Before Democratic Leaders
ATTACK ON HARDING
He Asks Why Dry Law is Not
Being Enforced at
Washington

NEW YORK, May 3.-A boom for
George S. Silzer, governor of New
Jersey, for president, was launched
last night at the annual Jefferson
Day dinner of the Nationtl Demo-
cratic Club at the Hotel Astor. The
boom was launched when Governor
Silzer was introduced by Thomas
E. Rush, the POSTMASTER. Some OF
those present at the dinner were:
Frank Hague, mayor of Jersey City;
John II. McCooey, Dem ocratic lead
er of Kings county and Joseph z.
Tumulty. former secretary to Presi-
dent Wilson. Among those who
spoke were: Senator Copeland and
James w. Gerard, former ambassa-
dor to Germany. Benediction wak
pronounced by Mgr. Michael ]. La
velle of st. Patrick's Cathedral.
Governor Silzer replied with q
speech in which he praised the ad-
ministration of Woodrow Wilson,
which dealt with worldwide prob
lens in a big way and condemnine
that of President Harding, "having
its genesis in the minds of grouI
of small senators and a little Ohic
town" Most of Mr.. Silzer's speech
was devoted to the reading of planks
from the Republican national plat
form of 1920 and pointing out how
the present administration has fail
ed to live up to them.
The governor declared that not a
single international problem that
faced the country two years ago has
been solved and held that the Wash
ington Conference for Limitation OF
IN, a artG did nnt linn it, that fh q
Republican party is divided hope
lessly on the international court
question and that President Harding
is unable to assume the role of lead
er. Other subjects touched upon in
his address were the traffic. increase
in cost of sugar, reduction in taxes
and prohibition.
Governor Silzer's address in full
follows:
Mr.. Daugherty has announced that
Mr.. Harding will run a second time.
Mr.. Harding thereupon announces
that he will tour the country and
give it his views. Mr.. Daugherty
tells what the platform will be.
It might be interesting, lest we
forget, to review briefly what this
last platform was, and what was
done with it, during the two years
just passed.
The first and most startling thing
that attracts attention is the marked
difference between this administra-
ton and the forceful and success
full Democratic administration that
preceded it,.
People are already making the
contrast, and in the contrast they are
rapidly coming to the conclusion
that they prefer an administration
that is strong, steady and construc-
tive, instead of one that is vacillat-
ing, leaderless and unfruitful.
Succeeding an administration that
dealt with worldwide problems in
a big way, we find one having its
genesis in the minds of a group OF
small senators, and a little Ohio
town.
After two years the administration
is still on Main street.
