| ¢ “Passively Receptive” Candi- pay as NOMINATION, FOR SAY HIS FRIENDS... date Seems to Have Strong Adherents. * By David Lawrence. (Speci ning World.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. (Copyrght, nomination, continue to work for him. He will have no organization or beadquar- ters acd will not engage in contro- Yet he versy with other candidates, will serve if chosen. Were this a normal year in Presi- dential politics, the McAdoo method of approach to the Presidency would be distinctly novel, more so, indeed, than the Hoover method, But from frjends of Mr. McAdoo in the national capital one gets a true impression of what the former Secretary of the "Treasury has in mind. First of all, he ts represented as feeling that it would be ‘undignified for him to go ont and seek the Presidency. He doesn’t intend to be an active candi- date in any sense. He will be pas- elvely receptive, that’s all, Of course there |s no concealing the fact that opposition to Mr. Mc- Adoo ainong Democrats !s based, to some extent, on the theory that he might be unacceptable to the country “pecause of his family relationship to «President Wilson. To this the McAdoo men make an- swer thus: McAdoo was one of the managers of the Wilson campaign in 1912 and was selected to be Secretary of the Treasury because of his ability shown in large business enterprises. He bad already helped in the draft- ing of the present Federal Reserve Act and made a record as Secretary of the Treasury when he married the President's daughter. This, therefore, the friends of Mr. McAdoo assert, was an incident in his career which has nothing to do with his political status. They contend that as a member of ihe Cabinet he frequently argued with the President and openly expressed his differing opinions. But their main faith ts that no man ever suffered In politics (rom attack based on personal grounds that were inherently unob- jectionable, Their candidate will be ‘accepted or rejected at San Francisco on other counts. HIS FRIENDS SWEEP AS/DE ALL RIVALS. ft is interesting in talking to some of these McAdoo supporters—and some of them have bigh official positions in the Government—to find how easily they seem to eliminate all the other candidates for the Democratic nomination. Mr. Hoover, they insist, as eliminated himself by expressing innocence of any party affiliation, and to get a Democratic nomination an individual must, in their opinion, have been @ Democrat at least as far back as 19°, though he might be forgiven lapses in the period before that. As for Gov. Cox, the McAdoo people think he unfortunately on the wrong side of the Prohibition ques- tion and will not be a strong con- tender, Senator Pomerene of Ohio has already withdrawn from the race. Mr. Bryan, say the McAdoo disciple: doesn't really want the nomination for himself, but wants to have the pleasure of dominating the conven- tion. The big question is whether or not Mr. Bryan will Nebraska in al! probability will settle that in the negative very soon, Admittedly, Mitchell Paimer ts the most powerful opponent of Wiliam Gibbs McAdoo, Both are strong Wil von followers, but among the Me- Adoo men one hears expressed as to the Attorney Gen- eral’s availability because of his un- -happy contact with union labor in «the coal strike. pointed out the record of the former Director General of Railroads, who ave the railroad square deal and perhaps even more sympathetic treatment in the matter of wages than they have received is from the hands of anybody else in| the Wilson Administration. The idea seems to be that the brotherhoods will not forget and that labor gen- oon- tagion of brother McAdoo's xeal for erally will be affected by the the cause of the workingman MANY ARGUMENTS MADE HIS BEHALF.

Tho platform of the federation is to be: Stand fulthfully by our friends and elect them, Oppose our enemies and defeat them, whether they be candidates for President, for Congréss or other offices, whether executive, legislative or judicial, ——— Sse didate who has the largest potential strength in the ter of vote-gete ting. Thus is Mr. McAdoo trotted out as the friend of the Suffragista, the farmers, the soldiers, the union labor organizations, the business men and bankers of the country and the advocates of Americanism, On one thing, however, the McAdoo candidacy will not be ambiguous. Others may say, a8 Mr. Bryan has adroitly done, that “th ral prin- ciples of the Wilson Administration are approved” Mr, McAdoo will say without the slight twinkle in his eye that he whole-heartedly approves of the Wilson Adm.nistration. That, however, may be his admission ticket to the San Francisco convention, for |the delegates, in all probability, will |not be the Bryan men of old but the dyed-in-the-woo!l Wilson men, oftice- holders or friends thereof, whose iitieal lives have been made posaitie| Ones by the incumbent of the White House under Democratic rule. Mr. McAdoo, to conclude, is a candidate. He won't seek the job himself. Others will try strenuously to do it for him, SOLA aE Sie WILSON DISPROVES SHIP SALE PLEDGE Documents Sent to Senate Show That Share Goes to Germany.

Bids on this meat are being received by the Zone Supply Officer here.

It is part of the reserves foodataffs held in storage, which ac- | counted, it ix said, for prices in the lust year. Although the release of thin beef May not be the principal factor in failing prices, it plays an important part, Whether the already over- loaded speculators will be able to extend their holdings is considered doubtful by market experts, Taken in conjunction with the ar- rival here of severfl millions of yao of navy foods from Hampton oads, to be distributed through the retail sales stations, and expected shipments of butter, potatoes and cabbage from Scandinavian countries and Holland, reported by the City Department of Public Marketa, the release of this food may force th market several points lower, In addition to beef, the army offering 110,000 gallons of vinegar.

Wadsworth jr, candidate for re-elec- tion this fall, found his voice in the Prohtition question at the dinner in this honor at the Hotel Astor last night. The Republiean platform! adopted yesterday waa dumb on the! | subject. The Senator said he believed | in @ referendum on the question, sald the last wort had not been spoken, the State should bave a for ancderation in place of fanatic- ism. He eaid: “I voted against the amendment in the Sehate because our Constitution is a framework of government which defines and limits the powers dele- gated to that Government by the People. It ought not to be confused and encumbered with matters which should be dealt with In statute law in such a way that the opinion of the people may be regia- tered. Upon a matter affecting #0. intimately the personal habits and! predilections of millions of good people I believe the people them- selves should have an opportunity to pass judgment. “Following the ratification of the amendment it was incumbent upon | the Congress to enact enforcement | legislation. It will be followed no} doubt by legislation enacted by the several States, exercising their con-| current jurisdiction in accordance ed from the hij with that novel and mysteriou ro. | half the cigurs in his effort to extrac = PFO"! one, refused to pay, and was brought in vision of the amendment itself. “It is quite probable that 6tate legislation will vary in accordance | with thé sentiment of the people of the several States.

Doubtiegs there will ensue, a process of evolution in this vast, intricate | and delicate undertaking. i “And go it were wise for all of us, and especially for those who hope for great things from the amendment, to exercise moderation rather than fa- naticism, reason rather than hysteria. The Jast word has not been spoken, and unti! it is we must move tn that spirit of fair play Which results in public contentment, so essential to the orderly conduct of government.” In Jine with The Evening World's special despatches from Washington to “get country back on a peace basis” Senator Wadsworth stated another cause of discontent was in the con- stantly rising taxes. He attacked the present national administration for extravagance and estimated that the total cost of the war would reach $36,000,000,000 or $40,000,000,000. He de clared that not more than §$4,000,000,- 000 could be raised by taxation, even at the present high rates, “We ure heading straight for the $3,000,000,000 deficit vhis year,” he said. “It we don't look out, we will strike anothe deficit next year, This orgy of ex- travagance must cease.” PREDICTS G.
