1t is apparently settled that Presi-
dent Coolidge will be the next Repub-
lican candidate for the presidency.
There appears to be no other candl-
date who can command enough of
the electoral votes to have look-in.
The Presidents attitude to the
bonus measure, however, will have an
effect upon his reelection next No
vember. 1t will not be forgotten that
he vetoed the measure, though it has
been passed by a substantial majority
over his veto.
Whether the Democrats will be able
to put up a strong competitor for the
office remains to be seen. Several
aspirants are looking forward to the
democratic convention with high eX-
pectations.
William G. McAdoo, so far, appears
to be the favorite. He is certain to
be accorded the support of all Will
son democrats, and will draw heavily
from other wings of the party. HIS
indirect connection with the Teapot
Dome scandal apparently has not in
jured his candidacy. SO far as that
transaction is concerned he succeeded
in impressing the nation with the fact
that his relation to a company who
was mixed up in the scandal, was
purely nominal.
Generally he will have the support
of the Labor element of the party
because of his war record.
Governor Al Smith is the next logi-
cal presidential possibility among the

FRENCH "ExTRAcTs" FOR
 MAKING LIQUORS OFFERED

SEATTLE, Wn., Feb. 2.-Receipt of letter addressed to H. E. Dax box 42 Zenith, Wash, from a certain address in Austin street, Park, France is believed by Carl Jackson, federal division prohibition chief to have re- vealed an attempt to violate the 18th amendment by the use of tie United States mails.
 The letter, according to Jackson, of- fers for sale eA'racts which, whom add ed to water placed in "containers," :" will produce beverages known by name and taste in the days before pro- hibition. The letter also gives a price list of two varieties of stills and other necessary utensils" for the alleged manufacture of these drinks, Jackson said.
 'T think that the letter. which was turned over t. me by MT. Dax is the latest 1924 variation of the Spanish prisoner swind:e, said Jackson in commenting on the contents. T don't think that the person sending for 'ex- tracts will receive them don't know how these extracts work, but if we find any evidence of persons man. ufacturing alcohulic beverages from them, arrests will follow"
 Jackson declared he has forwarded the letter to the federal prohibition bureau at Washington, D. C., for gov ernmental investigation.

UNITED MINE WORKERS
 APPROVE LEWIS DIFFERENCES

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2.-The bien. nal convention of the United Mine Workers of America yesterday accept ed without debate the report of it's committee on officers reports approv- ing the accounting of his administra- ton given Tuesday by John l.. Lewis international president This action was in sharp contrast to previous con- ventions in which the president re- port has provoked bitter debate.
 The committees report was regard ed as especially significant in that It concurred with President Lewis expressions on wage demands. He de. clared in favor of wage agreement for term of years, but made no statement favoring an increase in the present scale.
 The committee report on the report of Philip Murray, vice-presideat, brot forth some opposition to its adoption from the so-called "progressives," but it was finally adopted by a large ma jority. President Lewis said the viva voce vote was indecisive and called for a show of hands, which, unofti- cial tellers said indicated adoption of the report by about three to one.
