There are a good many members Of
the Democratic national committee
already in Washington, where the
committees headquarters have been
established for some years. Cheerful
ness Is the order Of the Democratic
day. No heart is harder to read than
the heart of a politician. So far as
one remembers in Washington the
heart of no party man ever has been
worn upon his sleeve.
The Democrats are cheerful over
what they declare to be the divisions
in the Republican ranks. Taking 1t
the other way, the Republicans seem
to be cheerful over the alleged divi-
sions In the Democratic ranks. Both
sides seemingly are satisfied. OF
course, they are not, but no corkscrew
Cf one could find such an implement
in these days. could extract from any
committeeman of either party admis-
sion that all is not well along the
Potomac and along all the other rivers
of the country.
Democrats here say that the two
most patriotic men In the United
States are Oscar w. Underwood of
Alabama and William Gibbs McAdoo
of California, who at this hour are
the two most frequently named as
likely, one or the other of them, to
secure the prize.
In Democratic circles, however. 1t
is easy enough to find that there are
men in the followings of both the two
gentlemen named who fear much that
a third man. today rather in the back
ground, will walk away with the prize.
This third man also is in Wash
ington. His name is Samuel L. Raj.
