————eeeeee e AGE MAY FIGURE IN 1524 ELECTION Coolidge Comparatively Young, While Other G. 0. P. Prospects Are Above 57. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Age may be literally a vital issue in the next presidential campaign. Democrats of prominence are begin- BIng to talk among themselves about the age of the men most suitable to make the race against President Cal- vin Coolidge if the latter is the re- publican nominee. Mr. Coolidge is just past fifty-one and will be fifty-two years and a half on March 4, 1925, when the next presi- dential term begins. Many people Who argue that the burdens of the presidency are almost superhuman and are clamoring that the Executive be relleved have lost sight of the fact that few men enter the presi- dency of a big business at the age of sixty or more. Looking over the list of twenty- nine Presidents of the United States preceding Mr. Coolidge, it will be found that all but four were fifty- seven or younger when inaugurated, and that ‘the majority were nearer fifty than fifty-seven. Of the four who entered the White House above the age of fifty-seven, Willlam Henry Harrison, age sixty-eight, served only a month of his term and died; Zach- ary Taylor, who was. sixty-four, died in” office after a year of his term. mes Buchanan was sixty-five upon natuguration, and .John Adams was sixty-one. Lixt Would Be Cut. Using fifty-seven as the upper Ilimit of the presidential age at inaugura- tion—though to be sure the two- term Presidents have usually been much younger than that—the men who are now being talked of on both the republican and democratic tickets for the presidency would be nar- rowed down to a few. Here are the ages of the various statesmen men- tioned for the presidency, as they would be on March 4, 1925, when the Dext presidential term begins: La Follette, 69 vears 8 months. Pinchot, 59 years 6 months. Ralston, 68 years 3 month: John W. Davls, 51 years 10 months years 2 months. mes M. Cox, 54 years 11 months. _62 years 6 months. van, 65 years 1 month. Underwcod, 62 years J w W Oscar months. Carter Glass, 67 years 1 month. Hiram Johnson, 58 years 5 mont Former Senator Kenyon of lowa, Fears 8 month Henry Ford, 61 years 6 months. Of the foregoing number only two men are younger than President Cool- idge and they are both democrats, Gov. Al Smith of New York and John W. Davis of West Virginia, the latter of whom is the youngest of all the men mentioned for the presidency. If fifty-seven were the age limit for the inauguration of a President, _only former Senator Kenyon of Iowa, James M. Cox, John W. Davis, Al Smith and Calvin Coolidge would come under that mark. Ford Now Past Sixty. Most people do not realize that Henry Ford, for instance.. is past sixty, or that the veteran senator from Wisconsin, Robert M. La Fol- lette, has passed sixty-eight and will be nearly seventy on March 4, 1925. Samuel Ralston, junior senator from Indlana, would be over 68 at the be- ginning of the next term.

The burdens of the presidency are admittedly greater today than they were in the past. There is no _doubt that both Warren Harding and Wood- | row Wilson had the best of medical attention. The former was fifty-fiv vears old when | ted served less than thr dars. latter was -fifty-six vears old broke down at sixty-three. While many a man is stronger than his years, the politicians are wonder- ing “what the popular effect will be of a comparison of ages if Mr. Copl- idge, a relatively young man, is the candidate against a man much older than he will be in Marc 1925, namely, fifty-two and a half years.

Dudding of the Prisoners’ Relief So- clety In a letter yesterday to,Secre- tary Slemp at the White Housf. Dudding makes the plea in the let- ter. that unless parole is granted. to convicts who have clear Tecords, a feeling of hitterness and vengefulness against the law is engendered. “When & man or woman is sent to prison, they ars told that If they be- have, keeping their prison clear, they can gain a parole” letter stated. “When the parole does not come, it tends to harden and embit- ter convicts. It breeds discontent and disrespect for the law.” ~ Wite—I ‘woti€er if“there ever was such a person as the Foolkiller? Hub—Don't aslk. such nonsensical questions.
