It will bo noticed that in the Demo cratic list only three names appear. Presumably within the next few months other names will claim the chr6nicler’.s attention. As thin.cs are today in Washington the two Demo crats most prominently spoken of for the nomination for the seat now held i>y AVoodrow Wilson ai’o Mr. McAdoo and; Mr. Clark. Possibly there i.s a reason for thi.s, to be found in part in the- positions which these two men liavp been occupying. McAdoo and Clark in Limelight, ML McAdoo as secretary of tlie treasury ami as manager of many oth- has been constantly in the lew, and the public has had u } to judge of his work. I Clark came close to being liio |cratic nominee for the presidency In fact he had a majority of btes in the Democratic convention ■altimore, hut as it takes a twg- I s vote to nominate, ilr.

Kionias Marshall is the vice presi- K .of the United State.?. The vice Isidency is not a giittermg job so j'p ; s publicity is concerned. A vice resident never stands with tlie sun- Idfr full on him where the public ma.v ■see him. He lias HHIo or lio oppor tunity for liigh public Korvice. althoalgli he can uuike bis influence felt and thereby draw unto himself such ac claim as is possible under the cir- cnm.stances. Mr. Mar-sludl’s friend.s. it is said, quietiy are arraying them selves behind him witli the view of presenting Ids name to the next Dem ocratic national convention. There are nine Republicans today whose names frequently are. used In connection with the party’s nomination for the presidency. These names have been given above. Men who know of the political conditions during the last .seven-dr oight years wilf recognize at once that among liiese Rep'ublican can didates, or men whose friends intend to make them candidates, arc represen tatives of tuo different -schools of Albany, April 1.—Prom January to February the total amount expended for wages in New Yoriv ,State factories decreased 5 per cent. This decline is explained for the most part by reduc tions in the hours worked and by part time operation and not by decreases in the rates qf payi There wore exceptions to this down ward tendency in the clothing indus try, in wood manufactures, in printing and in food and liquors. In respect to recent decline.? in wage voiume it is well to remember that the.se are from high levels established under war con ditions. The February wage volume i.s 1 1 per cent, greater than that of the same month a year ago and per cent, greater than a similar amount reported in February, 1917. When the cour.se of average weekly e.arnings is compared v/ith that of the retail price of food, as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, it is seen that in so far these factors are concerned the posi tion of the factory worker has im proved despite the decrea.se in hi.s earnings. From .Tanuary to Feliruary earnings have declined •! per cent., whereas the I'otail price of food has declined 7 per cent. In the two thought within the Republican party. In other words, there are in the list j months from December, 191S, to Feb- men who have been known as progres- j ruary, 1919, the decline in average sivo Republicans and men who have been . known as conservatives—Bull Moosers and Old Liners if these names arc preferred.

April 1—The return of p'Gompers of the American of Labor, early in April, will mark the opening of an inten.si- figd .campaign to elect pro-labor candi dates, to public office, according to Seci-ietary Frank Morrison of the Fed eration. G'ompers plans to sail from Franco about April 2. Details of tho drive, which will be non-partisan, are to be worked out at a meeting of the Federation’s executive council in Washington. The purpose of the campaign is to carry through Congress tho re construction program of labor. It does not embrace the formation of a sep arate labor party, Morrison declares emphatically. it involves application Qf the acid test to all candidates in ■whichever party they may be running, to a^ssure support of labor program.
