Washington, March Another
year and the picture at Washington
will be changed On March fourth
next, new Administration will be
installed and the battle for political
preferment will be at hightide. Specu-
lation is characteristic of those
who live in the realm of politics and
this subject is uppermost in their
minds as the Coolidge regime draws
to a close. Tests of candidates
strength with the voting public will
be watched closely this month as sew
eral state primary contests are called.
In fact, the progress of various cam
paigns is attracting more attention
than vital legislation here. The opin-
ion prevails that politics will dOmi-
nate the legislative assemblies from
now until the adjournment in June
and that relatively little will be &C
complished.
Citizens who formerly passed over
political news in their family news
paper have it fed to them nearly
every night over the radio. so that
the subject is winning more than an
ordinary share of public attention.
The difference between those who
take surface signs for actual trends
as it relates to their favorite can
didates for the nominations is that
which marks the novice from the sea-
soned observer. 1t should be borne
in mind that the candidate apparent
ly the popular favOrite does not al
ways come under the wire as win
ner at the convention.
For instance, Herbert Hoover is by
all odds running away with the field
on the Republican side three months
before the convention. Inquiry shows
that the real opinion this week among
the leaders is that Hoover's candidacy
will fall short unless he sweeps the
delegates on the early ballots. Cam
paign history shows that machine
politics has its innings when leaders
gather quietly in hotel room near
the convention hall for solemn
pow-wow. The candidate is usually
named at these meetings. 1t is sell
dom that the popular favorite is
awarded the nomination. His chance
comes on the first day and then the
dark horses" or compromise candi-
dates are trotted out for the consider
alton of the nominating convention.
The Hobbies of the Capitol are filled
with earnest advocates of flood and
farm relief. They are cognizant of
the need for action before Congress
becomes involved in partisan contro-
versies prior to the 1928 campaign.
The various groups favoring legisla-
tive relief for stricken flood areas are
not in complete accord but a compro-
mise could be effected provided GER
tain Legislators refrained from trad
ing overtures. In other words, those
not particularly interested in the
flood measures want the support of
legislators from valley states on other
measures in exchange for votes on
Mississippi flood control appropria-
tions. Certain farm bloc advocates
openly offer to give their aid in ex-

For village clerk there are three
candidates. James Poferl, son of
Frank Poferl, county treasurer has
filed and Mrs. r. L. Wiseman will
also run. The third candidate is
Clark Pennington who is the present
incumbent and who has held the Of
flee for number of years.

"Third Generation.
C. o. Won Dardell, Swedish consul

i'm Sweden where the press has in
terviewed him concerning many
things. One question asked him was:
What is the attitude of the second

ton toward Sweden, its language and
culture?" And he said that, as far
as his observations went, the third
generation stuck more tenaciously to
the old Swedish ideals than, for in

apparent phenomenon to the fact that
material prosperity often is greater
i'm the third than in the second i'm
migrant generation.
