P _eéidential Possibilities and Impossibilities II—VWilliam Gibbs McAdoo. BY DAVID Unquestionably the contest which will excite most interest in the next twelve months will be the selection of a demo- cratic candidate for the Having interviewed democratic lead- ers in many parts of the country is undeniable that no single candidate stands out as in the lead. The fact s that democ ers in all parts the conntry are in an inquisitive wmood and that they are carefully We.ouils the meriis of various men whose names have been mentioned. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about tne present state of affairs in the democratic party is the strong sen- timent for William Gibbs McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury and director general of the railroads. It is remarkable because Mr. McAdoo pub- licly declined to be a candidate at the last convention, and his friends were unable to win the nomination chiefly WILLIAM GIBBS McADOO, because of the son-in-law relationship of M McAdoo to Woodrow W, w t was considered a liability howeve: now is being talked his friends as an aeset.

Curiously enough, how- ever, the strength of McAdoo today is not ‘is achievements during the war, when he bad practical control of t finances of the United States govern- ment—the largest transactions that ever were carried on by a Secretary of the Treasury in this or.any other country. The chief assets of Mr. McAdoo are the remarkable loyalty of his friends, who have left no stone unturned since the last convention to make it possible for Mr. McAdoo to get delegates, and the amazing hold which Mr. McAdoo has on organized labor, particularly the lroad men_of the country. Even in 1920 Mr. McAdoo was regarded as a strong candidate because of his hold on the railroad workers. But if he had =trength then with the railroad men, he has redoubled it since. The railroad workers have gone through a series of disappointments since the private owners took the railroad systems of the country and_they realize now what the rail- road executives have tried to do in breaking down the standards, work- ing rules and wages t up during the war-time administration. Tendency of Age. Although it is a long way to pub- e _ownership, the shrewdest of the railrond employe leaders recognize that the tendency of the age is toward SPECIAL NOTICES.

Politically speaking. a nucleus of railroad men in_every division point in the United States is a political organization in itself. There has al- ways been a zood deal of talk about ithe labor vote and how helpful it can be to a candidate whj is friendly to labor, but one is safe I there never has been a candidate for high office In the last thirty years {who has been so closely identified with the interests of a_large group 1of workingmen as Mr. McAdoo. His {candidacy would inspire intense ac- {tivity by these men. ! It is unlikely, however, that Mr. McAdoo would ‘confine himself en- tirely to railroad questions should he Ibecome an active ndidate. As Sec- {retary of the Treasury he became | tamiliar with the finances of the gov- jernment and questions of taxation. He is an authority on this subject and should ne present a radicai pro- gram for the revision of taxation in ithe United States, he would be in jan advantageous position because he could speak by the book. On Side of Drys. If prohibition should be an issue of |importance in the democratic Mr. McAdoo would lead :y" side. He is a confirmed “dry’ land would have the support of Wil- liam Jennings Bryan as against any candidate of so-called 4 i Mr. McAdoo gathered } strength in the I vention from the arld west. the eastern states which would not be for McAdoo, anyhow, jeven though he were inclined to think |as they do on prohibition. When Mr. McAdoo was Secretary of the Treasury he Incurred the hostility of Ithe Tammany organization in New York state and was not in favor with 2 political hosses in_the demo- cratic party. Woodrow Wilson had the antagonism of these same groups in the democratic party, but won the nomination despite it In the famous convention of 1912 at Baltimore. Summing up Mr. McAdoo's quali- fications, he is an authority on taxa tion, transportation and government fi i all of which are likely ues in the next cam 4 not be surprising, for in- if he worked out a plan where- ¥ a soldier bonus could be pald with- | out disturbing seriously the economic ! condition of the country. Certalnly he will come forward before long | with some concrete proposal for han- ldling the railroad situation, and as |for the agricultural problems of the west, it must not be forgotten that of the st_friends and back- of William G. McAdoo is Bernard Baruch, who 1s responsible for the organization of co-operative 1 | keting” groups in the west and « is closer to the farm bloc than any ther man in politics today. Taken all in all. Mr. McAdoo's candidacy can ily be made a factor in the | next test. provided he is willin to speak out on subjects with which | he is familiar and provided he com- { bines the idealism of Wilson with the | practical business sense of a man who built the Hudson tunnels. managed the American railroads during the war, and handled the finances of the government. This would entitle him { to use the slogan of “A Business Man for President.” which has become so popular in recent yvears. Hax Some Liabilities. The liabilities, of course, of the Me- | Adoo candidacy ‘are by no means few. The fear that McAdoo would be re- garded as a second Wilson and would inherit the prejudices of the elec- torate, or that he would make the Wilsonian tvpe of President, will not jfall to get emphasis at the hands of lhl.fl opponents. ! Generally speaking, Mr. McAdoo starts out with an extreme position on the prohibition question, which jmeans that the eastern bloc would | strive to eliminate him in the first | balloting. Since the democratic con- vention requires a two-thirds vote, it lis always possible for one-third of Ithe delegates to organize an opposi- ition that makes it Impossible to nominate a candidate of outspoken | views, The tendency usually is get a compromise candidate. {the McAdoo and Palmer factions in the last democratic convention fought each other so bitterly that it was Inot possible for either one to win and the selection of James M. Cox ! became inevitable. VIRGINIA AUTO TAG th Three Pay Fines in Arlington for Operating With Dis- trict Licenses. | CLARENDON, Va, July 6.—Charged | with operating their cars without the | necessary state license, three Arling- iton county citizens today were brought before Police Justice Harry R. Thomas on warrants issued by him {.u the request of R. A. Long, Virginia lautomobile license inspector, who is making a drive to run down all per- sons guilty of illegal and non-use of Virginia tags. They are M. F. Sant- meyer, who pleaded guiity, and L. ‘Parks and H. W. Reid, found guilty, | Fines of $18.95, including trial cost of s , were imposed in each case. |,,It was brought out at the trial that those convicted were operating their cars under District of Columbla tags. Nine cases for this alleged offense were handled by Judge Thomas today, |six of which were dismissed when It !was shown by those on trial that it iwas not their intent to evade the law. Dismissals were ordered in the cases on a second charge, Everil Warrell, Mrs. John C. White- head, A. E. Schroff, Jesse N. Rice and J. A. Coleman. It was learned at the office of the clerk of the courts of Arlington ) county this afternoon that while tnere were only nine cases brought to trial today there would be others. Forty-eight warrants have iissued, it was said, but some of the !alleged offenders have not been lo- cated. Inspector Long is not confining his activities to rounding up Virginia i residents who are operating their ‘cars under District of Columbla licenses. He is engaged aleo in compiling a list of persons who re- side in the District of Columbia who operate their cars under Virginia licenses. This list. which will number approximately 100, when_ complete. will be turned over to District of Columbia authorities, who have |promised action. BRITAIN GIVES BONDS.

No Magie W “There is no magic wand that H be waved to cure the ills that con- ! front us in Europe,” i Senator Under- | wood concludes. “They are the| problems of the states abroad.” The province of this country, as he sees| it, is: H “We cannot dictate, we can only| advise, but we can have a policy—a | wise helpful policy—on each and every cne of the probiems in which our home people are interested, and we can pursue that policy in an open, courageous and heloful way tfor the ultimate peace of e world | and the yrosperity of our people at | home.” { “It is almost impossible for one to| clearly visualize the situation with-, out coming in personal contact with! it from many different angles, ator Underwood explain; Some | things cannot be printed and many | things are never printed that go to| make up the kernel of either the political or business condition of a | country. But you can sometimes| [ Europe, where | cents, a Lra and business | feel the situation in the atmosphere or you catch the drift from convers: tions that are not intended for pub- licity, but teil the truth in regard to important facts. Changes in Europe. We have been engaged at home in the consideration of important do- mestic questions, to the exclusion of nearly everything else. We do not realize that the Europe of today is no more like the Europe of 1918 than the conditions of 1918 were like the i conditions of 1914, when the great war began. Until that fact is firmly fixed in the minds of the American people we are going to misjudge the | situation as it now exists and our { duty toward it. “Most of our people, like myself, have failed to realize how exhausted |by war are many of the nations of { Europe both as to governmental finance and private endeavor. There fe a hectic business development along certain lines, but it more large- 1y comes from the money of the busi- ness gambler and profiteer, or the man who is endeavoring to get cur- rent money of doubtful value he has acquired converted into some form of visible property that will not vanish over night. Before the great war five French francs purchased an American dollar. It takes about fifteen francs to buy the same dollar now, and the ex change is continually fuctuating. | Before the war four German marks | exchanged for a dollar, Last winter it took about 40,000 German marks, and recently an American dollar | would buy 100,000 marks, Rapid Drop of Marks. “Before the war these 100,000 marks | were worth $25,000. Today they are ' worth 100 cents. The value of iabor, jof food and all kinds of property is measured in_this rapldly depreciating {currency. How can one expect to find stable business conditions when the measure of value is continually fluctuating? There may be golden opportunity for the speculator and the business gambler, but there is| inone for the man who toils. “Stability of government is almost j 88 uncertain and insecure as stability {of finance. In one European country it may be o near-revolution that threatens, in another a change of ministry, but in either event the go ernment’ working under such cond! tions is generally weak, ineffective and drifting from day to day or month to month without courage of conviction and without effective pol- icy for the future. Lack Definite Goal. “They drift in an effort to save the | face of the government rather than: move forward to a goal that can bei won by political courage with a defl- | nite policy. What does this mean to! us? That, of course, depends some-{ what on our own attitude toward, ourselve: 1 shall ume that the| American people have not forgotten what they promised their God if the boy was permitted to return home or what they told the soldier when he left home to die on the battlefields of France or for what they fought. I believe that the American people in thelr heart of hearts still believe that the sacrifices of the war were in vain if they do not lead to the ultimate peace of the world. “There are more causes of war ex- isting in Europe today than there were in January, 1914.
