Both con* tests are brought upon technical grounds. , Senator Reed was unseated as 4 ' delegate by the Missouri state-ownven^- trlct, and the technical decision which the national committee must make, is whether the state convention or the district convention has final power in the naming of delegates.

McAdoo to bo a candidate for the Democratic nomination. All this came on western foiks like a torrent ojtt of the sky here, where •thrsy think without rancor and vote without boss rule, a cross section of opinion is especially significant. President Wilson's interview created hardly a ripple. The President Is so generally considered out of the politi- cal game that his vehement expres- sions about the Republican national convention passed without much com- ment. Par from considering tho Republican convention to have been scientifically it, the people here rather got the impres- sion that 1 the Republican conventlpn Was tihBC|lentiftcaliy ^Am'erican and simply a typical example of what hap- pens when 986 delegates are confined to a single room with sweltering tem- peratures and a confusing primary sys- tem. —• • \ They wouldn't be_a bit surprised If the Democratio Convention wallows around in an equally unscientific mass meeting. But the President fails to register effectively hereabouts when he talks about the League of Nations for the simple reason that the people are not blindly following his leadership any more but take their cues from men like Hoover and Taft. „, N ' If these two men say the Republican platform means America's entrance Into the League of Nations eventually and if thjese may say Harding is all. right on the League issue, that's enough for ihe majority of the Repub- lican voters and for a good many in- dependents too. « The League of Nations as an issue has possibilities only when it can be removed f*orh the realm of complex phraseology to the formulas of simple, every day understanding. .. So long as It looked as If men like T«ft ana Hoover- and other Republic cans -would stick by. the Wilson guiis ;ijt th* league of Nations fight, thtfre was a- chance out here for the Demo- cratic viewpoint „ But the accession of Taft and Hoove*; ia Scattlo about \political prisoners,*- and persona punished for expressing opinions and when Mr. Wilson says he doesn't-.know of a single case in 'which anybody was punished for ex- pressing an\ dpinion, the radicals here ask what Eugene V. Debs was piftW ished for if not tho expression of an opinion in his\ famous speech to tho Jury. They' also ask what Viator Berge* was convicted for. On the other hand, people who think the kind of opinions expressed by Debs and Berger should be punished don't see why tho Presi-' dent hesitates to take full responslbil- \ ity for the action of the Department of Justico in those caine. Mr. Wilson ingratiates himself, therefore, with neither radicals nor conservatives. Incidentally, the Dcm-< ocratlc convention ia Kins cojinty has Just contributed an unconscious bit of humor to tho situation by voting to ask the National Convention at San Fran- cisco to Include a plank in the plat- form advocating tho release of politi- cal prisoners. If the President's expression in the New York World was a subtle effort to catch the radicals it failed of effect In this hot-bed of radicalism. I The. creation of a third party at Chi- cago next month will, however, bo carefully watched. The political jjower In thte stato iB being sought by the triple alliance, a combination of farm- ers, labor and railroad brotherhoods. This alliance Is affiliated with the Non-Partlsoa League. William G. Mc- Adoo had some chance of getting sup- port from these elements but If he suc- ceeds in eliminating himself as a can- didate, no other Democrat,is likely to get that support, though a -strenoua flirtation'is on between the-JDemocrata , and; labor radicals in th»is section. People are inclined to take McAdoo at his word In declining to be a can- didate, but newspapermen are a bit skeptical. I They scent Strategy. They think the former secretary of the Treasury really doesn't want the nomination unless he can get it by spontaneous offer from the convention but that he will ac- cept it gladly if it comes that way. Realizing the handicap Which the father-in-law argument,make make, It Is noted that on practically the\samft day that President Wilson, says public-* ly that he has not lifted a finger to promote any one's candidacy, the son- in-law says publicly that he will not permit his woe* to be considered; ft the nomination does not come to McAdoo, hi* friends hete believe, ha jaill have demonstrated that neither by Harding has had a wmrnHnW he nor hla distinguished MUhrit ImpMtutt effect i tlhe « Wn ^ Hows d,ct *^ d **» eholef AiWthM?
