May KcvJsc, L'ninstriictcd Plans
The plans for uniustruclcd dclcgutcs,
which seem certain to bo mndo Ibis'
week in Washington, may have to be
revised. The real test of tho Wood'
movement will come when primaries
are held in one of Ihe lutgcr Slates,
where the organization seeks unln- I
utfuctcd delegates uud where the Wood
people seek reiircsenlutlve Instructed j
to vote for their cundidute. The cap- i
lure by the Wood people of one oC the '
big states which the old organisation j
counts upon us uninstructed will upset
their plans iod it iwij ivc u great
impetus to the general's euudidac.
So fur ns the mnchiue Is concerned
this present meeting In Wushingtou is I
likely to prove a setback to the Wood
movement. When the purty managers
get together, exchang notes, obtain the I
rent inside figures on the southfru delo- I
gates, they will probubl be confirmed in
the belief thut they can cause a con- I
vention which will be in the control of'
the uninstructed and favorite son dele
gates, hut the real test will come later
on when the people come to vote In
the pi evidential piefetencc primaries.
The rial issue is whether or not the
general lias or will develop during the
course of the primal' eumpuign popular
strength. In the absence of un revela
tion of popular strength, General Wood
will mcrel enter the convention in the
lead, but will have defeated himself In

Hoover Kcported Keieplive
The purehuse of the Wusliingiou
Herald by Herbert Hoover and I'hurhs
H. Crime is cuusiug talk among the
Hcpuulicuns gathered here about Mr.
Hoover's political ambitions. It is
understood among thoo who are in con
tact with him that the former food ad
ministrator would welcome a nomina
tion for the presideucv . His associa
tion with Charles It. Crane places him
definitely on the Democratic side of the
fence.
Mr. Crnnc has been an active sup
uorter of President Wilson, nnd his son,
Itochard Crane, was appointed by the
President us minister to the new state of
Cecho-Sloknvia Air. Hoover himself
is moreover rather dilinilel committed
to the Wilson program. Indeed, it
might be said thut mote than Mr. Me
Adoo or Mr. Palmer, he is the logical
successor of the Piesident Mr. MuAdoo
und Mr. Palmer are priinutil.v purly
candidates. They are ugreiablo to the
Democratic machine.
Mewed as "Wilson" Candidate
Mr. Hoover, if named lit all. would
.be primarily a Wilson candidate. He
angneu hmhsc-il wun .ui. n iii. m
urging the election of u Democratic
Congress last car and he has been un
nun'Mled in his support of the league of
nations.
iicMii'iu. this Wusliingiou paper, Mr.
Hoover perhaps in co-opeinliun with
Mr. Cruue has. is said, to have bought
two papers in Ciiliforuiu, the San Fran
cisco Cull and the Sacramuito 'l.'uiou.
He evidently octants upon making him
self h power politically in hia own state.
The plan to buy the Washington
Herald and make it a Wilton organ,
has been dlscucd many times in tho
last four j ears.
At the recent meeting of tllo Dem
ocratic executive, committee at Atlantic
City, tho need of n national organ at
the capital was discussed.
The Herald is it weak paper, with
out ndequato news bcrvlee und with nn
inferior circulation. H will be u big
task to make it nn organ. But Mr.
Hoover's newspaper buying means that
he intends to be n power In Democratic
politics, aud ids uomitmtlou l the
Democrats for the piesiduicy is one of
tho possibilities since II is gcmitillv
admitted thut President Wilson will
choosy his successor.

HpWO viewpoints of the NEW EDISON
kThe Phonograph with a Soul" will enable
you the better to appreciate the wonderful
qualities of this remarkable instrument.
FIRST
L'Vom the inside
To your ear, the new Edisorfs Re
creation of an artist's voice is exactly
the same as listening to that artist's liv
ing voice. Public tone-tests, proving
this, have been given before two million
people.
Hear the new Edison's lie-Creation
of Lazzuri's voice in "Oft in the Stilly
Night." Listen to the tremendous
dreamj longing in those plaintive pas
faget.. You feel that the phonograph is
expressing all the wistf ulness of an over
flow ing soul. And so it is expressing
Luzzari's soul.
Lawari herself has appeared in this
test before 10,000 people, hi these tests,
she sang. Then she suddenly ceased to
sing, and the New Edison took up the
same song alone. There was no differ
ence! Only by watching Miss Lazzari's
lips was the audience able to tell when
she had ceased to sing.
The lie-Creation records of the New
Edison phonograph make you actually
feel the presence of the living singer.
SECOND
BSflaMMMMMeMSMBBSM
From tho outside
AH new Edisons are now offered in
Period cabinets.
Chippendale, Heppelwhite, Sheraton:
these names and a few others stand for
the supreme expression of art in furni
ture design. Wliat Rembrandt, Velas
quez and Raphael were to painting, they
were to furniture. And today people of
culture demand period furniture furni
ture designed in accordance with the
principles developed by the great crafts
men of furniture's golden age, the 18th
century and earlier.
For some years phonographs have
been offered in period cabinets, but only
at prohibitive prices.
"Why nut put all Edison phono
graphs into period cases," said Mr. Edi
son, "and let every one have the best
there is in cabinet design?"
Now, therefore, all New, Edisons
(with the exception of two models for
special uses) aro encased in period cabinets.
MA
Throe million dollars have been spent in
perfecting the new Edison Phonograph
And you may own one for a partial payment made at the
time you select the instrument you want. There is no set rule
as to payments. Some buy for cash. Others, who can well
afford to buy for cash, take the partial-payment plan; they feel
that this accommodation is a worth-while privilege. Some
dispose of the cost with a few large payments. Others make
the payments small, and spread them out.
Plenty of Re-Creations
. Edison Re-Creations of living voices and of instrumental
playing are here in ample quantity and down-to-the-minute.
