POLITICAL REVOLT
FEARED BY M 'ADOO
Voters May Sweep Parties
Aside, He Says, Reporting
Unrest and Discomfort.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, December l9.-WI-
liam Gibbs McAdoo said Yesterday on
his return from visit to New York
and Washington that he found "evi-
denceS OF an amazing amount of un-
rest and discomfort under the crust"
He added:
Il do not think it is at all unlikely
that political revolution may occur
next year, that may sweep both the
old parties to one side, because there
is a deep feeling among the people
that the national conventions of each
of the major parties are dominated by
interests that are opposed to the well
fare Of the masses, and that it is time
for the masses themselves to take the
remedy in their own hands by putting
somebody in the White House who will
see that they get justice and a fair
deal.
Impressed by Confusion.
"I don't know how widespread this
feeling is, but I got evidence of it in
quarters where it was least to be ex-
pected"
The former Secretary Of the Treasury
under President Woodrow Wilson said
he did not have much TO say about pol
itics on his Eastern trip, as he was busy
with legal matters. but he heard lot
What impressed me most is the con-
fusion of opinion l encountered" he
said Everywhere upon this subject
there is no crystallization, so far as
can see, in favor of any particular man
for the Democratic nomination.
Fears Split on Rum Issue.
Again, there is such wide differ
ence of opinion as to whether wet or
a dry ought TO be nominated, that / am
afraid The party may become hopelessly
divided again on this subject.
That would be deplorable, because
What the country needs at this time is
change of Leadership, and that change
ought to be dictated oy consideration
Of the economic problems that are now
bearing with crushing force upon the
people of the United States, as we'll as
