to battle it is always wise to have
as much information as possible
of the enemy and his plans. The
Wall Street Racketeers, owners of
most of America, are always in pol
ltics. They made their money that
way. Now they are getting their
own following and satellites lined
up for the campaign of 1886. The
following article from the WALL

THE GREAT GAME
OF POLITICS
BY Frank r. Kent
LandOn Knox Vandenberg
Washington - 1t is the opinion
of nearly all competent politicians
and political observers that the Re-
publican Presidential candidate for
1886 will be one of three men
Governor Alfred M. Landon of
Kansas, Colonel Frank Knox, of
Illinois, or Senator Arthur Van
denberg, of Michigan.
That the available material
should be limited to three men may
seem strange, but it is none the
less true. Any analysis of the sit
uation gets down to them and does
not go beyond them. Practically
every other man of Presidential
size in the party is eliminated one
way or another. Mr.. Hoover is not
available because his nomination
would revive all the 1882 prejudic-
es and the politicians are all again
st him anyway. He has plenty of
friends, but there is nothing re-
sembling a demand for his nomi
ination. Soon or late, a statement
will come from him firmly taking
himself out. 1t would have come
before but for advice of friends
= who have told him that elimination
; of himself as a candidate would
= end his party influence. The re-
= verse Of that is true. His influence
will be enhance the moment he n
moves all doubt on that score.
The necessity of getting back Il
economic sanity was bar to Sen
j ator Borah before he plastered hin
: self with the Townsend plan. Fol
L widely different reasons, the nOmi
nation of either Mr.. Hoover or MI
n Borah would be so clearly in tn,

l, New Deal strategists are more eal
e er to keep them in the field thai
e anyone else. Mr.. Ogden Mills, per
s haps the ablest Republican in tn
It country, is too close to Mr.. Hoove
n and not close enough to the poll
/ ticians in his own state; ex-Sena

Il vania, has been too freshly beat
