M'ADOO OUT OF
/ NEXT CAMPO |GN
I FOR PRESIDENCY
Former Candidate Admits
h He Hasn't Chance to
| Win in 1928.
BY Leo r. Sack
Copyright. 1927. by Scripps-Howard
Newspapers)


WASHINGTON, May 16.-Wil-
liam G.. McAdoo, former Secretary
of the Treasury, no longer is a can
didate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for President.
McAdoo has reluctantly concluded
that his nomination is impossible
and he has eliminated himself.
nouncement of his withdrawal, but
this will not be necessary, because
he will not formally enter.
Prominent Democratic leaders
have known for months that Nc
Adoo has abandoned hope. They
have eliminated him from their list
of possibilities. Unlike four years
ago, McAdoo workers are not now
corralling delegates here, there and
everywhere. His former organiza-
ton is only memory.
The announcement in Des Moines
Saturday by former Senator Pome-
rene Of Ohio, that McAdoo hasn't
a chance for the nomination; that
he is completely out of the run
ming" was not news to members Of
the Democratic inner circle. Pome-
rene merely was giving publicity to
what Democratic leaders have been
whispering to each other for months.
Proposes to Fight AL
McAdoo, however, will attempt to
be the Democratic Warwick. He
does not intend to drop out Of the
picture. He will try to dictate the
selection of the nominee, and Incl
dentally, he will do all in his power
to block the nomination of Cover
nor Smith of New York.
"If 1 can't win, Smith won't" will
in effect be his thought.
On a recent visit to Washington,
McAdoo was described as feeling
kindly toward Senator James A.
Reed Of Missouri. But q close
analysis of the report showed there
was no basis for the beliefe. Nc
Adoo feels no kindlier toward Reed
than he does to Smith. He has not
forgotten that the Missourian is the
one of the "willful'' men still in the
Senate whom his distinguished
father-in-law, Woodrow Wilson,
sought to drive from public life. Nor
has he forgotten some Of his own
bitter public references to Reed.
Senator Reed will expect no aid and
comfort from him.
Why Reed Can't Follow
McAdoo in his speech at Toledo
several months ago charted bone
dry course for the Democratic craft.
Reed cannot sail in this channel.
McAdoo has recently established a
law office in Washington, with his
former private secretary in charge.
He indicates he will make occasional
visits to the capital. These visits
will combine business with politics,
but unless he changes his mind the
political end will be devoted to the
furtherance of a candidacy other
than his own.
