fighter when circumstances call for
a fight.
Houston IS now in business in New
York. He has been mentioned only
casually among the Democratic posi-
bilties and careful inquiry failed to
develop any signs Of a boom Of a cam
paign for him
All indications. he is attending
strictly to business and letting poll
tics alone
He would he tremendously strong

Wilson believes 1924 should find the
Democratic party squarely on record
On the League of Nations issue. It's
