FOR PRESIDENCY
Democratic Politician? Arc on
Their Toes For Prepared
ness at Nation'? 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.

sunie identical ones as offered elsewhere.
Only at Kennedy's these same prepara

The home office of "Kennedy's" is 10-.
cated ut Harrisburg, Pa., while branch
stores are being operated ut Wilkes-
Barre and Carbondale.
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.
The city of Scranton has every reason
to point with pardonable pride towards
an establishment of such meritorious char
acter, nnd on one whose influence in the
community is of evident great benefit and
advantage.
