BE- cHARLEs P. STEWARD

That no presidential candidate
will get majority-that Congress
will have to settle it-looks likelier
every day, politicians say. If he
runs independently, it's predicted La
Toilette, who's won Wisconsin's Re
publican primaries already, will
carry Minnesota, the Dakotas, Mon
tana and Colorado, too; maybe Iowa
Nebraska and Idaho. It's hardly
possible, dopesters declare, against
such odds, for either Coolidge or
the Democratic candidate, whoever
he may be, to beat his main rival
plus LaFollette.
TWAS A SURPRISE
AL Smiths victory in the Wiscon-
sin Democratic primaries was SUI
prise, though it is a wet state. En-
perts admit he must be stronger in
the west than they thought. Thl-
with his New York and New Eng
land following makes him formid-
able-perhaps not enough so to win
but enough to have lot to say
about picking somebody else.
AFTER NEW YORK
Harlan F. Stones appointment
to succeed Atty. Gen. Daugherty is
regarded as Republican bid for
New York. Nearly everybody
thought Judge Kenyon would get
it, but Iowa isn't considered as
doubtful as New York, nor has it
so many electors.

Secretaries of War, Agriculture
land the Interior Weeks, Wallace,
and Work now are distinctly in the
class under investigation in Wash

ice lawyer, warned not to appear

testified anyway. Thereupor
Weeks must explain. Wallace is ac-
cused of trying to keep livestock
commission rates high. Work is
blamed for inefficiency in the re

cording to the amount of work done,
the graduate is given a certificate
