DEMOCRATS CLAIM 0. 0.P RANKS SPLIT See Pinchot-Coolidge Feud. Begin Active Stocktak- ing in Own Party. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Democrats have begun to rate their presidential prospects for 1924 as fair and warmer. The change in the barcmeter of their hopes, which reg- tstered low and falling when Calvin Coolidge became President, is due to what democratic leaders consider to be a budding rift in the republican lute. They think the outbreak of the Coolldge-Pinchot “feud” is the fore- runner of a slump in the President’s fortunes g Coincident with the more optimistic mood in which democrats find them- selves comes a report of an important move in the McAdoo camp. Mcidoo supporters are known to have come to the conclusion some time ago that they cannot by ture the two-th to a choice under the party's tional convention rule.

The campaign to smash the two- thirds rule ds to be launched, accord- fng to the McAdoo camps reputed plans, at the midwinter meeting of the democratic national committee in Washington. This wil be held some time after the republican committee meets, but whether that will fall within December or not until Jan- vary, Chairman Cordell Hull has not vet settled. The McAdoo scheme ap- pears to be aimed at creating the right kind of sentiment within the national committee, with a hohl‘_nf victory for a majority-rule decision in the rules committee of the national convention next summer, 3 Mr. McAdoo ill be in Washington k for one of his periodical con- with his leading supporters. of Judge Rockwell becom- « campaign manager is to scussed. ic leaders interviewed by hold out small prospect McAdoo project, if it really ts, will materialize. The demo- crats consider the two-thirds rule “the safety of the party” and_one of it< most sacred traditions. Leaders not favorable to the McAdoo cause any effort to break with that tradition would prove a boomerang for the candidate or the group that made it. Yet the former Secretary of he Treasury's friends may feel ‘that ¢ emergency so urgent that the @ is worth the candie. McAdoo's high-water mark at rancisco convention was a vote of 467 on the fortieth ballot. on the eve of the nomination of Gov. James M. Cox. A considerable num- ber of those votes came from south- ern states, like Alabama, which in 1924 are certain to_be loyal to the Underwood cause.

At this hour McAdoo and Under- wood are admitted to be the two democratic candidates in front, and, if the vention'waere to be held at once, they Wwould rank as the chief contenders. Gov. “Al" Smith continues to be a prime factor in the democratic situ- ation. While his nomination, as al- ways. 15 doubted, because of religlous conslderations, his strength s yet re- garded formidable enough to have veto power In any direction it is eventually cast.

The democrats are per- suaded theyll have to meet the pro- hibition issue in decisive and perhaps in embarrassing form in 1924. Thelr convention {5 bound to be the scene of a bitter forensic duel over the liquor plan. Also the Ku Klux Kian issue looms as a menacing one, with the squabble at the Amerlean Legion convention in San Francisco as a forerunner of what's likely to happen. Prominent Roman Catholic democrats declare the party will not be permi ted to dodge the Klan proposition, but will be asked to condemn the Kluxers unequivocally, outright and by name. The re-emergence of the Ford boom fires the democrats with mixed emo. tions. Some of them think a_Ford third-party ticket would hurt the re- publicans: others are equally certain it would injure only the democrats. (Copyright, 1 ) el VACANT U. S. JOBS LISTED.
