LEAGUE OF NATIONS PLANK
INDICATED FOR DEMOCRATS
THROUGH DEATH OF WILSON

Adoo secretary Of the treasury dur
ing the war and also director general
of railroads, may prove an asset to
the McAdoo campaign.
At the moment the former secre'
tary OF the treasury is the center of
discussion because of the statement
by E. L. Doheny. oil magnate, that
he hired Mr.. McAdoo and paid him
a large fee after he left the Wilson
administration. May of those with
thought consider that the McAdoo
candidacy has been killed by the
statement.
Not so with the McAdoo support
ers, who feel confident the average
American citizen can distinguish be-
tween fee given while a public Of
fetal is in a position of RESPONSE
bility, and a fee given for legal serv-
ices when a former official has gone
back to his profession.
Mr.. McAdoo has asked for a
chance to testify, and, in all proba-
bility, will have some caustic things
to say about the critics who have
been so ready to drag him into a
controversy in which he feels he
had no part. He had no connection,
he insists, with the oil leases, Civ
ing his legal advice on Mexican
matters.
May Be Beneficial Boomerang
The incident may prove a boom
erang in favor of McAdoo, who al
ways has exhibited a resiliency in
politics. Again and again, he has
seemed to be disqualified by one
circumstance or another, but the
McAdoo followers have some of the
faithful crusading spirit which they
gave Woodrow Wilson; they will
not quit him because of the unveri-
fled statement of a man who de.
serted the Democratic party in 1920
and contributed to the Republican
campaign fund. and whose leases
have been annulled, largely through
the efforts of Democratic members
of the United States senate.
The Teapot Dome scandal has,
for the moment, been crowded off
the stage by the halt of public ac-
tivities incident to the death of
Woodrow Wilson.
Mr.. McAdoo is coming here to at
tend the funeral ceremonies, after
which he will go before the senate
committee and face his critics as
boldly as he has in the past.

order in which the burial service
would be shared. While the printed
service, prepared that the company
in the chapel gathered to do honor
to the dead might share in the eX-
ercises, followed the Episcopal ritual
in a measure, participation by the
clergymen of Mr. Wilson's own faith
in it's ministry gave touch Of non
sectarianism to the ceremony that
could only serve to emphasize its
simplicity.
Radio Relays Services
To those outside the small chapel,
grouped back under the leafless
trees of the cathedral grounds or
out beyond in the nearby streets
and avenues, provision had been
made to carry the service with am
plifiers. To a host of listeners far
and wide the radio waves were set
to carry the solemn words and
blended chords of the choir.
And there was nothing more to
this funeral of a very great man in
history than that which even those
highly placed might see or hear. His
actual entombment was reserved for
the eyes of his own loved ones alone
and the president and his cabinet
and the generals and admirals and
all the diplomats had no part in
that. Their tributes ended with, the
benediction and the family alone
would see the last solemn moment
when the casket in which lies the
worn body of Woodrow Wilson was
lifted down to its place in the vault
to wait peacefully until men shall
decide upon fitting work of carved
stone to mark his resting place as
that OF a servant of the nation,
| faithful to the death.

crime. Father Dahme was shot

Passing of Party Leader Be-

BY DAVID LAWRENCE
Ieased Wire Service to The Journal.
(Copyriolt 1924


WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The death
Of Woodrow Wilson will have one
important effect on the political sit
uation of 1924, it will mean the GER
tain inclusion in the Democratic ma
tional platform of a plank declaring
for American membership in the
League of Nations.
There will be enough Wilson men
in the Democratic convention to as
sure the adoption of such a plank.
Instead of being regarded as a closed
incident, the league will be brought
into the political discussion by the
candidate nominated in fact, the
price of support, from the Wilson
men to any candidate who comes
before the convention will be pledged
to uphold the Wilson foreign policies.
Four years ago the Wilson stamp
was a liability. One of the first
signs of dlsapproval Of James M.
Cox's acts after his nomination came
from those Democrats who thought
he should not have visited Wilson,
or embraced the League of Nations
idea. even though he made it clear
he favored reservations. One of the
objections entered at San Francisco
against the candidacy of William
Gibbs McAdoo was that he would
inherit all the opposition to Wilson.
The "son-in-law'' argument did inn
press many delegates.
