The Political Mill
War Might Send Presidential Possibilities
Into Scramble for Second Place

Stark. who has frequently been
mentioned as possibility for the
Democratic presidential nomination,
has Just announced his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for
the Senate. This does not neces-
sarily mean that Gov Stark has
abandoned any presidential aspira-
tions he may have. 1t does mean,
however, that the Governor intends
to continue his career in public life.
His term as Governor expires at
the close of next year and under
the Missouri law he cannot be
candidate to succeed himself as
chief executive.
Gov. Stark will be pitted in the
Democratic primary for the sena-
torial nomination against Senator
Truman. The latter was elected
five years ago with the support OF
Boss" Pendergast of Kansas City,
whom Gov. Stark has helped ma
terially to put behind the bars.
Senator Truman has been a New
Dealer, supporting the President in
practically every instance in the
latter's contests with the Senate.
While Gov. Stark also was elected
with the aid of Pendergast, it was
not long after he became Governor
that he broke with the boss" and
conducted an unrelenting war
against Pendergast and his Kansas
City machine, reputed to be one Of
the most corrupt of all political ma
chimes. Truman, on the other hand,
did not make war on the boss"
President Roosevelt, 1t is said,
believes that Truman was a victim
of circumstances and cannot be
rightly tarred with the Pendergast
stick. 1t has even been said he
would support the Senator for re-
election. But that the President
would take sides with Senator Tru-
man against Gov. Stark is entirely
unlikely. Indeed. the President has
been very friendly with the Gov
ernor and did all in his power to
help the latter in his battle to clean
up Kansas City politics and clean
out Pendergast.
Victory Forecast Unless
Gov. Stark is highly regarded in
Missouri. His administration has
been successful and it is predicted
he will win the senatorial nomlna-
ton and election-unless he should
be tapped on the shoulder for an
other more exalted Office next year
Running for the Senate does not
take the edge off a candidate S
availability for a presidential or
vice presidential nomination. For
example, the only office for which
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan
is today an open candidate is that
of Senator-he comes up for re-
election next year. The Michigan
Senator is probably the most dis
cussed Republican presidential pos
sibility today. In the Democratic
camp, Senator Burton K. Wheeler
of Montana, a candidate for re-
nomination, has been put forward
by Senator Johnson of Colorado
and other Western Democrats as
the logical nominee for President
in a position to unite all factions
of the party.
| Senator Bennett Clark of Missour
is an old and good friend of Gov
Stark. 1t is believed that he woulc
throw his support to Stark in a con
test for the senatorial nomination
Clark himself has frequently beer
mentioned as presidential posi-
bility. particularly if the more con
servative faction of the Democratic
party should be able to control il
the 1910 convention.

Chairman Germany Of Texas, who
heads the Garner organization, re-
Gently issued a statement making it
clear that the war in Europe has
not changed their plans to nominate
Mr.. Garner if 1t can be done.
But with a growing uncertainty
as to what will happen in this coun-
try-even from day to day-regard-
ing the war, the Democrats, gen.
orally speaking. are following the
Presidents injunction to adjourn
politics" This plays very much
into the hands of those New Deal
supporters Of the President who
have insisted he should seek
third term in the White House.
What they hope is that President
Roosevelt, who has now seized the
ball, will continue to play the whole
game until it is time to nominate
a candidate next year. They figure
under such circumstances nothing
can stop him from crossing the
White House goal line again.
Forecasts Second Place Scramble.
If such a program is carried out,
Democrats who have hoped for
Roosevelt support for the presi-
dental nomination for themselves
will begin angling for second place
| on the Democratic ticket. Garner
| has insisted. so his friends say,
| that he will not be candidate
| for third term as Vice President.
He does not believe in third terms.
| Which would rather leave vacancy
on the national Democratic ticket
if President Roosevelt should be
renominated. There are those who
! say, on the other hand, that II be-
cause of the war situation, the
| country is to unite and re-eleCt
Mr.. Roosevelt, for the same reason
and to give the more conservative
voters representation, Mr.. Garner
should also be reelected.
The President is about to launch
a special session of Congress, called
to amend the neutrality laws. Every
! step he takes in connection with the
war and Americas position will be
closely watched-not by the polltl-
/ clans alone, but by people generally.
! In view of the strong sentiment
| among them in opposition to having
| this country involved in the Euro
pean war, the Presidents task may
not be an easy one. Any step which
his critics claim is leading the coun-
trv toward war will be closely exam
ined. 1t is one thing to say that
this war is Americas and that this
country should proceed along that
line-and quite another thing to
make that stick with a great major
ity of people.
CAPITAL and Labor Wonder.
Capital and labor-and partlcu-
larly the latter-are beginning tc
wonder just what plans the admin
istration has in mind for them in
the event the present limited emer-
gency" proclaimed by the President
becomes an emergency" There are
reports that already bill has beer
framed which will practically drat
both capital and labor, to give the
administration firm control OF both
Such a measure may be allowed tc
wait until this country actually be-
comes involved in war.
That the legislation will be sought
if the United States gets into the
war is freely predicted. That pre-
diction is making labor restive. Il

with an iron hand and the sugges,
ton makes war prospects all the
more unpopular

society nominated Charles Goodyear

of the vulcanization of rubber 100
years ago, chemist of this day
