Los rEIuNFos DE NC ADoo
Por ROBERT T. SMALL

NUEvA YORK, junio- Ell ex-
Secretario del Tesoro de los Estados
Unidos, William Gibbs McAdoo. ha 81
do la figura dominante en- las eleccio-
mes parciales efectuadas en- diversos
Estados de la Union, durante las ulti-
mas semanas, para designar Ell candl-
dato a la presidencia de Il Republica,
pero los adversarios politicos de MIR.
McAdoo, parecen mirar todavia con
cierta indiferencia al hombre qEe Sc
gun algunos estadistas norteamericanos,
habria de ser Ell continuation de la
obra de Wilson, al llegar la Casa
Blanca.
| Esos adversarios sc encogen de nom-
bros, a pesar de que Estado tras Es-
tado vota en- favor de McAdoo para la
postulacion presidential, en- la espe-
ranza, quizas, de que Ell gran conclave
dem6crata elegira otro candidate.
Excepto en- unos pocos Estados, en-
donde Sc ha votado en- favor de can
didatos regionales, puede' decirse que
McAdoo ha encontrado muy poca
oposici6n.
Tai vez la victoria mas grande que
ha obtenido, durante su campafia elec-
toral, es la de Georgia, en- donde los
| partidarios de Ia candidatura presiden-
cial de Underwood. hicieron esfuerzos
inuauditos y persistentes para sacar
triunfante su candidate. Mr.. McAdoo
recorrio todo Ell trayecto, desde ell Es-
tado de California, hasta ell Estado
Imperial del Sur, y pronunci6 una do
cena de discursos durante los flltimos
dias de la campaiia.
Su contrato personal con Ell pueblo de
esas vastas regiones, asi como Ell hecho
de ser oriundo de Georgia, le ayudaron
a obtener una victoria aplastante sobre
sus opositores.
UNA LUCIA BIEN oRGANIzADA
Es evidente que la unica campafia
presidential bien organizada en- estos
momentos en- los Estados Unidos, es
la de McAdoo. Los partidarios de la
candidatura del senador Underwood
han limitado sus esfuerzos a un peque-
no niimero de Estados. Los demas aspi-
rantes a que la convention democratic
los postula como candidates la pre-
sidenca. Sc han quedado en- una vaga
penumbra, aun cuando sus respectivos
partidarios o admiradores les atribuyen
prestigio incontrastable en- la opinion
publica. eiaiatr
Con todo, hay que hacer una excep-
ci6n en- favor de la candidatura del
gobernador del Estado de Nueva York,
MIR. Smith, de uuien Sc dice ha ganado
mucho terreno durante los lltimos dias.
Ell director de la campafia en- favor de
Smith Franklin d. Roosevelt, publica
dia por dia, declaraciones afirmando
que Ell sentimiento en- favor de Smith
crece hora por hora momento por
momento, en- toda la naci6n.
Esto hace pensar en- aquel viejo ada
gio de los democratas, que dice que
'el sentimiento puede crecer pero los
delegados no.. Para obtener que au-
mente el numero de delegados la
convention dem6crata, partidarlos de de
terminada candidatura. es necesario sa-
lir cultivarlos, mezclarse con euos,
| hacer propaganda intensa y fructifera.
A los delegados, como los arboles,
SO les deben cultivar consefvar al
sol. ~.IM

London. Aug. 10.--Probably the
greatest influence in the English
church today is George. George is
not an archbishop, bishop, p canon.
a dean, or even rector He Is just
butler.
For more than so years George
whose other name is Belcher-has
been the butler at the Church of Eng
land training college In Oxfordshire.
Practically every bishop or other high
dignitary Of the Church Of England
for half century has come under
the nInistrations Of George.
At the annual reunion of tho col
lege the bishop of st. Albans declared
that the real work Of training minis
ters during the last so years has been
done by George. The bishop Of Ok
ford described him as the pure
guarantee of stability and true con-
servatism."
George blushed when he heard these
words OF praise from the high eecle-
siastical dignitaries, but he retained
the rnodesty which is his outstanding
characteristic.
"You see," he caid. these gather
ings are sort of Qualifications where
the old students get together and
they don't mean all they say-except
that they are very kind"
