Wheeler Supporters
Expect Candidacy
To Gain Momentum
Active Campaign
To Be Launched With
State Primaries
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.


Senator Wheeler of Montana, who
has been put forward in the race
for the Democratic presidential
nomination by Senator johnson of
Colorado and other supporters, may
be expected to become much more
active candidate after the first of
the year. He Is likely to be the
Western entry in this contest.
At present, Senator Wheeler Is
saying nothing about his own can
didacy and confining himself to
speaking Of the need of harmony In
the party to put its candidate across
next November. But his friends are
planning an active campaign for him
when the State primary elections
for delegates to the Democratic ma
tional convention get underway.
There are IA States which hold
primary elections for delegates. One
other, Alabama, may hold a primary
If the party powers wish. 1t is
expected that Speaker Bankhead
will have the Alabama delegation in
any event. The other primary
States are California, Florida, Geor-
gia, Illinois (for district delegates),
Massachusetts,, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota, West
Virginia and Wisconsin. The Dis
trict of Columbia also selects its
delegates in a primary election.
New Hampshire Poll First.
The Wheeler supporters do not ex-
pect their candidate to 60 into all
these State primaries. The first is
held in New Hampshire the second
Tuesday in March. Whether Sen
ator Wheeler will go into that race
has not been determined However,
as native New Englander, the
Montanan has many friends in

that the late United States Senator
James Couzens put $500 into the
Ford company and took out $780,
OO0, 900.
But of the men who are carrying
on where the pioneers left on: II

Operations by Buttons.
One engineer recently told this
writer he believed the day was
not far distance when most of the
business of operating an automobile
would be done with push buttons;
that the vehicles would have two
way radio-telephone communica-
ton and that also to be anticipated
in the nodded automobile body.
All that does not sound so fantas-
tic when you think of what has been
accomplished, but some of the other
predictions do.
The idea of pouring ''pre-colored'
plastic or steel into molds, or spray
ing" the material onto mandrels,
with differing thickness at desired
points and presenting as soon as it
cools complete automobile body
of any desired hue, does test the
lay imagination.
Also a bit difficult to take for
granted is Henry Ford's statement
that Il hope some day to build an
automobile body entirely of wheat"
The pioneer Ford, who in his earlier
days heard all the facetious remarks
about Missionaries" "dreamers" and
crazy inventors" has long record
of achievement in the development
of plastics to support his hopes.
When Ford has a visitor interest
ed in what he has done with the
oil and meal of soy beans he takes
great delight in demonstrating the
toughness of back panel for a
motorcar body made of plastic ma
terial. Steering wheel rims, instru-
ment panels, instrument knobs, door
fixtures and transparencies of plas-
tics already are commonplace.
The entire automobile body, how
ever, is yet to come.
Problems Are Numerous.
Let me show you something,
Mr.. Ford will observe to his visitor
and with sledge hammer he will
swing at the plastic panel to demon
strate that he already has gone a
long way toward producing an au-
tomobile body out of vegetable
matter.

there never would have been an
