The Republican party is about to stage the grandest free-for-all in it's history.
 Not since 1920 have the Repub- licans staged such merry scramble for the Republican presidential nomination as will be on the cards next June.
 There will be candidates galore. The east once more will test it's po- litical strength against the west. There will be candidates who appeal to the businessman and the farmer alike And there will be conserva- tives and progressives.
 Speaker Nicholas Longworth; Vice President Charles G. Dawes former Governor Lowden of Illi- nois; Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, and Senator William B. Borah of Idaho, will be among the foremost candidates.
 Then there will be the usual crop of favorite sons Senator Frank B Willis, of Ohio (already nominated by the Seward Gateway and probab- ly elected), of a certainty, will seek to be Ohio's favorite son. His col league Senator Fess, must be re elected next year and he, therefore is eliminated.
 Senator James E. Watson, who long has harbored presidential am- bitions, will do all in his power to obtain the Indiana delegation.
 Former Justice Charles Evans Hughes, who only recently spiked . boom in his behalf, will be trotted out again and probably will be the favorite son of the New York dele gation-either he or Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler.
 Pennsylvania, largest Republican state in the Union, will have a favo rite son surely, He is not in sigh yet, but the Melons, the Dave :, Reeds and the Wares are expert enced politicians and they will b. lound with a man when the tim, comes.

DENIES BRITAIN.
IS POOR

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Great
Britain's Industrial crisis has. been
as much exaggerated as has been
Americas prosperity. said j. Alfred
Spender, for almost thirty years
editor Of the Westminster Gazette
and author of several books on
journalism, after his first day IN
New York.
He will make a three months
tour of the country.
Mr.. Spender, who intends to
lecture and consult with newspaper
editors throughout the country,
said that in Europe every one be-
lieved that "all Americans are
rich"
"Just in the same way Amer
leans have somehow, got the inn
preston that all Ehglishmen are
paupers and Great Britain in
dustrialIy is headed for disaster, "
said Mr.. Spender at the Hotel
Pennsylvania.
81 find that you are not all rich
in America any more than we are
all poor in Great Britain. While
Britain as the result of the world
war, did suffer heavily and
shoulder burdens which might have
been insupportable by any other
nation, she is now seeing ahead
prospects Of prosperity.
"Our people as a whole are liv-
ing better than they ever did. We
are managing our problems
capitally.
At believe that our unemploy-
ment is being reduced, although we
still have about 100000 unem-
pioyed. The unemployed are being
provided for by what I prefer to
cali insurance rather than doles.
These funds are supplied cooper
atively by the government, the en-
ployed workmen and the in
dustries.
"Our greatest handicap is per-
haps our inability to sell sufficient
goods to the United States. We
pay our debt to America in money.
We would rather pay it in goods.
But America operates its tariff
against our goods to protect her
own industries. The result is that
the money we pay you is re-invest-
ed by you in Europe.
But we are not complaining.
We are paying off our f8, 900, 900, 900
debt cheerfully."
Mr.. Spender said he would
devote much of his time while in
this country to an inspection of
newspaper plants.
