The Political Mill
Wheeler Looms as Potent Liberal in
forthcoming Democrat Convention

the President is not his foe-Mr.
Wheeler looms up as formidable
compromise candidate-and perhaps
more than that. New Dealers in
sist that the President will not
okay Garner. McNutt or Clark,
among the more important posi-
bilities for the nomination. Secre-
tary Hopkins health precludes his
becoming a serious candidate. There
remain Secretary of State Cordell
Hull and Postmaster General James
A. Farley.
Mr.. Hull has wide following
and is held in high esteem through
out the country. It is easily within
the possibilities that the President
may turn in the end to his Sec
rotary of State. The Postmaster
General is chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee and has
his hand on the Democratic ma
tional organization as few national
chairmen have ever done. He is a
political factor that should not be
discounted. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, that either Mr.. Hull or Mr..
Farley would have the strong sup
port among the liberals and in the
ranks of labor that would be Sena-
tor Wheeler's. And probably none
Of the proposed Democratic candi-
dates would be as strong in the
West as Wheeler.
Bolted Party In 1924.
Because of his strong liberal ideas,
Senator Wheeler bolted his party
in 1924-after it had nominated
John w. Davis for President-and
allied himself with the late Senator
Bob" La Toilette of Wisconsin. He
ran as vice presidential candidate,
with the Wisconsin Senator as the
presidential candidate, on the Pro-
gressive ticket that year. Since that
time Senator Wheeler has remained
firmly a Democrat, and has twice
been reelected to the Senate as his
party's nominee
For five years before he was elect
ed to the Senate, Senator Wheeler
served as United States district at
torney in Montana. After he en-
tered the Senate he took a promi-
nent part in the Oil Investigations
and in the investigation of Harry
Daugherty, then Attorney General
The names of a dozen Senators
may be brought before the Demo-
cratic and Republican National Con-
ventions next year as presidential
candidates. But outside of Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan and Sena-
tor Taft of Ohio, Republicans, none
stands out so prominently as does
that of Senator Wheeler. Senator
Vandenberg. like Senator Wheeler,
has declared his intention of being
a candidate for denomination to the
Senate. But it is not expected that
their senatorial candidates. will
hamper either one of these gentle
men when the race for the presi-
dental nominations warns, up.

firing mechanism by a double con- ductor wire. The explosion is caused by completing circuit when the pin or lever of the mine is contacted. CONTROLLED FIELDS, SAFE FOR FRIENDLY SHIPS
 A type of mine, not widely used, is the controlled mine. It is designed for defense and is laid in channels or harbors. The mine field is con- trolled through a station on shore. The mines, hooked up with wires, can be set so they vii hot explode when friendly ships pass. They can be set from the station, how ever, so the mines lie ready to ex- plode the same as self-acting mines.
 A mine with a 1O0-pound charge is destructive at 8 distance of 14.7 feet. With a 200-pound charge, the destructive radius increases to POS feet; and for 800 pounds of explosive, the mines damage extends SIT feet.
 To prevent exploding mines from detonating others nearby, they are laid never closer to each other than eight times the destruc- tive distance. Mines are> laid ir- regularly so a ship entering a field usually will hit mine.
 Mine-laying craft carry from 50 to 80 mines, released from chute at the stern. The standard lifht mine-layer weighs 1,190 tons. It is 315 feet long. 30 feet wide and nine feet high. It carries five guns. It can load 80 minutes and is manned by a crew of 130 men.

By NEA Service
 Washington, October Il - The only way a ship can detect mines is to strike one and then it's too late.
 Considered deadliest of naval weapons, the mine carries 100 to 500 pounds of high explosive and will sink a ship almost instantly. It is almost impossible for a ship to travel any distance through a mine field.
 Mines are anchored five to 20 feet below the surface.
 The average mine is about four feet in diameter. It costs thousands of dollars, although generally less than $8,O00 for a torpedo.
 Mines usually are loaded with TINT and cordite because they give an intense" explosion, but ordinary funcotton sometimes is used.
 Most mines are self-acting - the collision between ship and mine sets off the charge. In such mines  either a lever or series of pins sets of fthe charge. They are op- erated either mechanically or electrically.
 In the lever type, the case is cylindrical, with the lever coming off the great ball at a tangent. When ship strikes the mine, the lever drives the firing pin against the primer. The pin type, some times shaped like a milk pail, op- crates on the same principle, ex- cept that the pressure against one of the pins fires the explosion.
 The electrically fired mine is connected with a battery dropped to the sea bottom with the anchor
 The battery is connected to the
