Mr. Mullen told his fellow committee men that the chances of his party were none too good and that it was time n definite policy looking to tho getting of votes in the most promising field Mas adopted. Members of the executive committee generally agreed with Mr. Mullen. It was tho universal opinion that President Wilson would not be a candi date to succeed himself. It was believed he did not wish to bo renominated, and. moreover, that ho could not stand the strain of a hard campaign, after his strenuous service since this country's entrance into tho war.

Mr. McAdoo's candidacy was ibased Upon Its too close connection with Wall street influences and upon the unpopu larity of his management of the rail roads. To win the votes of the industrial East it was generally felt that the Dem ocratic party must free itself of anv suspicion of sympathy with the pro hibition of alcoholic beverages. It was felt also that tho party mujf lake a stand against other forms of interference with individual liberty growing out of 'he var Certain for eign language restrictions aie suid to be rfnted by the aliu labor element in the East, to whim th Democratic party joust appeal.

Johnson was ac claimed vociferously by hundreds of his townsmen, who met him as he arrived here last night to rombat the league-of-nations' covenant In his homo city and native state. Senator Johnson's train was more thnn three hours late, but notwithstand ing this, the ferry building was crowded with friends and townspeople who had waited to receive him. As he passed through an aisle of people to n stand creeled outside the ferry building, where bo was officially welcomed bv Mayor James Itolpli, the senator repeatedly shook hands with old friends and acquaintances. "T am hero, mv tiiends." Senator Johnson said, "to ptcnili to you tho doctrine that this country of ours is for Americans, and to ak jou to unite with mo and -with the others in Wash ington who are making the good fight there, that there shall bo no khaki clad boys of ours sent to light in for eign lands that are no concern of ours."

Conflicting opinions were expressed today as to prospects of wartimo prohibition being ended. Tho Department of Justice says the saloonkeepers who nnticipato reopening their establishments presently, on the theory that demobilization of tho army raises the ban, are seeing mirages. In the first place, tho belief that the War Department had announced de mobilization complete has no better foundation than nn erroneous sentence in a routino department order concern ing regular officers, and in the second place, even if the order meant what it seemed to say, it would not break the drought. The emergency nrmy hns not been completely demobilized. The War De partment does not know when demob ilization will be complete. This announcement was made ester day by Secretary nt War Biker wliei' his attention wns railed to a published report that tho War Department had announced demobilization has come to nn end. Then there is another widely accepted report that a member of President Wil son's cabinet has asserted that the Pres ident will not await ratification of the treaty of pence bv tho Senate before "lifting tho ban." The President is represented by this cabinet officer as being determined to suspend tho wartime dry act just as soon as ho is advised by Secretary of War Baker that demobilization of tho arms from a war to a peace strength has been accomplished This statement is in direct contrast to those of Attorney General Palmer, but it is made with such definitouoss that liquor dealers are preparing for a respite from statutory prohibition be fore tho constitutional amendment be comes operative next Jnnunrv "In condensing nnd editing a state ment for 'the newspapers." said Mr. Baker, "an employe of the department changed a word or two and appeared to make the War Department say demobil ization had ended. As a matter of fact, the War Department has reached no de cision, affirmative or negative, ou the situation " Discussing demobilization generally. At.. Iloka,. coiil flint, ns r mntter of I fact, it is rather i nebulous question. I "With men going out and otheis coming in every day, ho added, "it u even possible that demobilization will not be regarded as completed until the last emergency man has been dis charged."
