Capitol Washington.—Washington just ean't help talking and gossiping politically'. It's part of the day's day here. Right now, even with the peace conference dn over in Paris, the political speculation Is un usually interesting because of the approaching meeting of the Demo „*ratlc national committee here Jan uary 23. Whatever they may think about national preparedness, the politi cians are on their toes for political V'eparedness. AnS the G. O. P. having had their preliminary meet ing in Chicago some weeks ago to put "feelers" out for 1920, the Dem ocrats must follow suit. The resig nation of Vance McCormick as na tional chairman gavem. good oppor tunity to call a powwow. And so while almost every one knows who his successor will be. Homer Cum mlngs, of Connecticut, yet all the big leaders and little leaders and peewees, politically speaking, are to gather and mill it all over. "It" Is 1920. Sn.v Wilson Is Out of It One of the most peculiar, phases of the situation here from the Dem ocratic standpoint is the conclusion drawn by the politicians from. Col onel Roosevelt's death. At once, everyone began to say: "Well, that ends any chance of President Wil son running for a third term." Just why It should have anything to do with Mr. Wilson's Intentions one way or other, is difficult to lt probably won't. Rut ■politicians say it-will. The psychology of the situ ation would Vie wrong for Mr. Wil son, they believe, unless Colonel Roosevelt were his opponent. Any how when you mention the presi dential situation they generally in ject something like this: "With M r - Wiißon out of it now, as he Is. It will be thus and so." Mr. Wilson isn't famed for taking others into his confidence. He didn't consult others in naming the peace envoys even. So a good many months of winter and summer and then winter will doubtless pass before anyone fan say authoritatively what Mr. Wilson intends to do. But the dis position is to regard him now as not'a candidate again. William Gibbs McAdoo, the Presi dent's son-in-law, and former secre tary of the treasury and director general of railroads, is the most po tential possibility right now. Of course, Mr. McAdoo hasn't an nounced and won't. No candidate is going to invite such unpleasant attention as the early bird candidate always gets so far ahead of time. Hut they rather take it as a matter Df course here that he will be in the running. And McAdoo 'doesn't dis abuse this impression. In fact, var ious things indicate his ambitions pointedly. . For example, on leav ing his Work here, McAdoo gave a dinner to u group of i*en more than ordinarily influential politically. There were speeches and speeches as those things go. And Mr. Mc- Adoo was not only nominated but elected before it was all over. All this didn't make the retiring secre tary of the treasury at all angry, among "those present" do say. So with Wilson out of It, if he is, Every one right now calculates from the Democratic side It will be McAdoo against the field. Of course, twelve months may upset everything— that's just the talk now. One thing is certain: McAdoo won't shy from It. Secretary Baker would be the favorite of the parlor Socialist, extreme reform fringe. He speaks their language more than McAdoo does. But Baker has sort of faded lately-. In fact that is one of the most floteworthy incidents of quiet Washington right now. Chief of Staff March is the "he man" type, so much was heard of early in the war. Whether for good or bad, few question who is running the big show in the War Department now. Others may fool around with the side shows but General March oc cupies the main ring. He runs It. And as General March has grown Baker lias faded. Righr now the anti-administration Democrats appear to flirt around Speaker Chnnip Clark. This ip the Hearst-Reed group. Right now Clark doesn't look one, two, three is a successful candidate, but such i. combination might be able to get ii block of one-third the delegates and have something to say about Who it would be. They won't other wise. The party machinery, be It mid, ip firmly in the hands of the idministration and the President. . Some mention Herbert Hoover. The Sehator from Missouri is not me of these: The only trouble with [his is that.H° over la a Republican 3r is supposed to be. He was accred tqd as a Republican when named is food administrator. If Mr. Hooyer were nominated for the presidqjicy, t's a cinch the G. O. P. would do t, not the Democrats, for he trains nore with the Republicans. The tepublicans might trot out some loover talk to see how it caught on. iut it won't come from the Demo crats. The setting isn't right. Th/e Democratic feelers right now are lehind the McAdoo boom. Mention of Hoover though is like hnt of General Pershing. Hoovey lasn't voted. People here who iroudly claim to know Pershing ■feal well say he hasn't either but hat he is a Republican if anything. Politicians of any brarid don't put >ut feelers or boost at this stage of he game men whose politics are so loubtful. They take them when it s popular to do so and climb iboard to win, not because they vant to.

In the publicity onmpaign which the Journal of Commerce is conducting in Scranton, it has been forcibly noticed that "Kennedys'" represents one of the city's greatest commercial assets. Since this paper has for a long time been noted for recogrilzit\g conspicuous business abil ity wherever same is prominently display ed, it Is only appropriate to mention the superior management of "Kennedy's" as one Instance, where sheet- force of merit, knowledge and ambition has won a recog nized victory. Judging from the multitude of buyers who dally surge the aisles of "Kennedy's" it was well assumed that the people of Scranton appreciate the concern's superior and admirable efforts.
