Hoover are considered to have been

dents served in one or more war, and
all from Grant to Mckinley. inclusive,
with the exception of Grover Cleve-
land, served in the War Between the
States. However. while each previous
conflict brought at least one man to
the White House, no officer or en-
listed man with active World War
service has yet been elected to the
highest Office.
No woman ever has been named
as a candidate for the Presidency or
the Vice Presidency on any major
party ticket.
Will precedent be broken in 1910?
Will a woman be named next time?
Washington does not think so. In
some quarters Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
velt's name has been put forward, but
the Capital does not believe that any
woman will be nominated by a maj ior
party in 1910. Other women who
nave DCtIl Wy tilC tiOb~oOOfC
leaguers are Dorothy Thompson and
Judge Florence Allen. In 1888. Sec
retary of Labor Frances Perkins. the
first woman cabinet officer. was being
discussed in some quarters as a dis
tinct possibility. but her record in
ONCE has not been such as to work
up enthusiasm among supporters.
There are plenty of possible male
candidates for office on both major
tickets. In so far as the Democrats
are concerned. the big question Is:
Will President Roosevelt run again?
washington opinion on the subject is
divided, many holding that the Presi-
dents penchant for smashing prece-
dent, as we'll as his desire to complete
his program. will lead him to accept
or seek a third nomination. But
greater number believe that he will
not run but will endeavor. and prob
ably with success. to play large role
in the selection of his successor.
If that is true, and If President
Roosevelt Is able to swing the con-
vention behind a candidate to his
liking, the chances of certain of the
crop Of present possibilities is probably
small. Among these are such men as
Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia.
Senator Bennett Champ Clark OF
Missouri, Senator Millard Tydings of
Maryland and Vice President John N.
Garner. However, should the conven-
ton not be Influenced by the Presi-
dents likes or dislikes, the chances
of these possibilities will be distinctly
enhanced.
ON THE other hand, as it looks now
~ any one of the following might
get the Presidents blessing: Senator
Alben Barkley, the majority leader in
the Upper House; Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace. Gov. Murphy of
Michigan, Gov. Earle of Pennsylvania,
Harry Hopkins, w. P. A. Administrator,
and Secretary of the Interior Ickes.
Then there are other possibilities in
the Democratic ranks. such as Jesse
Jones of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp, James M. Lands, former chief
Of the Securities and Exchange Com
mission and now dean of the Harvard
Law School; young, outspoken Maury
Maverick, Representative from Texas,
and former Gov. McNutt Of Indiana,
now on duty for the Government In
the Philippines.

complete, tea is served in the flicker
