DAWES GAINING STRENGTH


Mark Sullivan, experienced political writer. says
Charles C. Dawes is gaining strength in the east while
Charles Evans Hughes is losing it as a possible nom
ines Of the Republican party. The west and middle
west have already been counted out Of the Hughes col
umn, partly as a result Of recent observations in those
sections and partly because Of the poor showing made
in those states when Mr.. Hughes was a candidate; and
Mr.. Dawes is said to be making important inroads
upon what heretofore have been regarded as Hughes
stronghOlds in New York and other thickIy populated
states in the east.
To his credit, it is admitted that whatever loss Mr..
Hughes boom for the presidency may have sustained
has been due to his own attitude Of Indifference. He
has said plainly that he does not want the nomination,
and has indicated that he would not choose TO run"
unless the party is practically unanimous in selecting
him as its standard bearer. He is intensely interested
in politics, but not with the purpose Of gratifying any
personal ambition. As a matter of fact, Mr.. Hughes
has already obtained all the honors an ordinary man
could desire. and voluntarily relinouished the greatest
Of them when he retired from the United States Su-
preme Court. Further, he is advancing in years, and
can not be expected to permit any kind Of personal
ambition TO disrupt the orderly and highly successful
routine Of his private and professional life.
Mr.. Drwes, on the other hand, is a much younger
man and is now holding public office. Il is but nat
ural that he should desire promotion to the presidency,
since his chief is not to be a candidate TO renomina-
ton. He possesses powerful friends who are encour-
aging him 10 make every possible effort to secure the
nomination, and his forceful personality is in such
marked contrast to the modesty Of Mr.. Hughes tina:
one does not wonder that he is forging ahead in the
pre-conFention campaign.
Mr.. Dawes, moreover. would be an acceptable nom
inee for the Republican party. His political record
has been marked by fidelity TO his party and by faith
full attention to his official duties; and a monumental
testimony to his talent as an administrative officer is
found in the successful operation Of the Dawes plan
for untangling European finances and stabiIizing half
a dozen war-torn governments. He may not get the
nomination, but the Republicans could do much worse.

THE GALES TERM
dallas News)

dallas News)
In discussing editorially on New. % the report
carried by the United Press of the proposed change in
the length Of Mexicos presidential term, The News in
dieated the doubt expressed by the news service as to
whether or not the added two years would apply to
the term Of President Gales. The editorial reference
to the dangerous policy of enlarging through leris-
latiye office the term Of a popularity elected candidate
was predicated upon the possibility, and not thte fact,
and was so stated.
Now 1t seems that the press report erred in ascrib.
ing even the possibility. The bill as passed unani-
mously by the Chamber Of Deputies and subsequently
approved by the State Legislatures has become a law.
Il preseribes that the six-year term will take effect in
the presidential election next year. In that event. OF
course, Il does not operate TO extend Senior Gales term
Of office, even though the bill itself IS unouestionablv
an administration measure.
The News in its editorial said: "The mere au-
thorization of a six-year term instead Of a four would
not clash with sound ideas of democracy as concerns a
PRESIDENT elected in 1928" The News il glad that
that condition prevails in Mexico under the terms Of
the new law.

LEFT ESTATE TO
KIN now DEAD

The will, executed eleven years
ago, of Wayne B. Wheeler, Anti
Saloon League head, who died on
September 5, was filed for probate
today in the District Supreme
Court.
But two requests are made under
the instrument which was dated
June 20, 1915. One. of these leaves
$500 to his mother, Norsa Wheeler
and the other $3.50 to his father
Joseph Wheeler, il they are living
at the time of the deceased's death
Neither are now living.
The will then provides that after
these two requests are made that
the rest and residue is to be given
to his wife, Mrs. Ella B. Wheeler.
Fate interviewed. however, as Mrs
Wheeler, was burned to death six
weeks ago at their summer home
in Michigan.
The same explosion that cost Mrs.
Wheeler her life, resulted in the
death of her aged father. The
father collapsed when he saw his
daughter in flames and died shortly
afterwards.
No indication il given in the will
as to the probable value of the
estate, but the Anti-Saloon League
head was regarded as moderately
wealthy by his intimate friends.
Distant heirs-at-law will get the
estate.

Phone MYSTERY
GIRL SOUGHT

A mystery telephone cali from a
woman or girl who appeared to be
in distress led to a police request
by Mrs. B. B. Shipley, 1904 Wash
ington Circle. for aid in finding her
16-year-old sister. Leila Robertson,
of Loudoun county, Va.
Mrs. Shipley said that she has
been expecting her sister to arrive
from her rural home for visit, but
did not know just when she would
arrive.
Shortly after last midnight she
was aroused by a telephone call.
Answering it, a feminine voice
called her by name, became inco.
herent and then ceased altogether.
The person talking appeared to be
highly excited. Mrs Shipley said.
and 1t was impossible to tell wheth.
er she voluntarily left the phone
or was dragged from it.
Mrs. Shipley asked the police to
search for the yosCg girl. She also
telegraphed her Virginia home in
an effort to find out whether her
sister left for this city.
Miss Robertson is five feet five
inches in height and has light hair
and complexion.
