Events of the last week have done little to clear up the situation relative to the re publican choice for the presidency to be made at the convention opening In Chicago one month from today. Maryland, Indiana and California have spoken during the last week, but predicitlons as to the possible in fluence that the results in one or another of them might have on the national convention have not been borne out. Political observers are fairly well agreed on only one proposition, and that is that the showing made by Senator Harding in the Indiana con test.' when added to the earlier reve lation of his weakness in his home state of Ohio, probably eliminates him. Opponents of Herbert Hoover here, mainly of the distinctly politician type, are fond of saying that the California result eliminated him, but 1 the jury of public opinion may re- port a disagreement on that point. Hoover Followers Faithful. The average sincere Hoover fol lower is going to stick to his can- ; didate to the end and, if need be, go down with him on the theory that no disgrace attaches to being caught dead politically or otherwise in re spectable company. There is more appreciation of Mr. Hoover here in Washington perhaps than elsewhere. The reason is that there has been wider personal contact with ttie ex food administrator here. Furthermore, Mr. Hoover has af forded somewhat of a novelty for the man in politics. Washington rec ognizes better than any other part of this broad land what it chooses to call "demagoguing" and even some of the most appealing of the candidates have been guilty of it in. varying degrees. Mr. Hoover has not indulged in any of this sort of stuff, which is usually referred to as "clever politics." There is an appreciation of the fact that he has talked fundamentals and has not attempted to get something subtle into his public remarks for the pur pose of catching votes. Cry AgainHt Profit Popular. It is quite popular in these times to rail at profiteers, and there are few candidates in either party who have not tried it. Hoover has laid off en tirely from this deception. He has preached increased production, being a student of that economic school which advocates beginning at the bot tom instead of the top to find the cure for the present high cost of living. That sort of teaching, of course, fails to make instant appeal because most folks have been made to believe that the high cost of living can only bo brought down by the use of bludgeons. A well known economist said in private conversation here the other day that the present agitation for reducing the cost of living by leg islation and the extended use of the police powers is only an application of a school of economy founded by Jesse James. The present cry. he said, is for laws that will legalize the methods adopted by "Mr." James. Jesse James, he said, when he wanted more money went out with a brace of pistols and four or five aides on horseback and took it away from his chosen victim. Doctrine Held ShortniKhted. "A lot of persons would resent such a comparison, as this," he continued, "but someone should speak strongly . on this subject because the kind, of economic doctrine that is being preached from one end of this coun try to the other just now is about as shortsighted and as remote from fundamentals as the system adopted by Jesse James for accumulating a bank roil." The difference, it is pointed out, is that the Hoover school requires deep er study and more thinking. On the face of delegate returns to date, it is safe to say that Leonard Wood will go into the Chicago con vention with more delegates than any other candidate. Of delegates in--itructed and others pledged, but not instructed by their states or district conventions, it is counted that he will , have approximately 325 votes on the first ballot. The next question is, can he hold these delegates and gain others on the succeeding ballots? liOwden-Jolinfion A hout Kvrn. Governor Lowdcn and Hiram John on are likely to break even on the first ballot, or nearly so, because Lowden. like Wood, has more strength . than shows on the face of primary and convention instructions. The Johnson strength Is apparently en tirely confined to "earned delegates," that is, delegates who are for him because he won them in primaries. If he has a single vote from a state or congressional district that he did not carry in primaries it is not known. There are reasons to doubt whether he can add to his earned strength" because the methods adopted, not by himself, but by sonie of his friends, have been deeply offensive to a great number of republicans. Senators Koran. Kenyon and Norris have con ducted themselves in such a manner as to make an enemy of almost everv man or woman who did not support m Senator Johnson. Of this trio, Norris alone has been able to deliver the support of his home state to Johnson. Compromise Held Bent Uucm, The situation, therefore, is that the compromise candidate looks like the surest guess as to the solution of the tangle, ine primaries have done noth ing except further to complicate the situation and to resolve it into a fight between several very able candidates to kill each other oft, with the prob ability that all will be equally suc- eessful in the outcome. The candidacy of Senator Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania, has been somewhat to the front in the last week only because it was new. It has attracted some interest because it afforded a place for the votes controlled by Hiram Johnson to go when the break up comes. The con clusion is predicted entirely on close personal friendship existing between Knox and Johnson who have seats close together in the senate and have fought side by side for months against the ratification of -the peace treaty. The only concrete result attained by the Knox candidacy appears to be that it has afforded Frank A. Hun sey, well-known newspaper publisher, a place to light. Mr. Munsey has found much wrong with all the can- STAR VIBRATORS ELECTRICALLY OPERATED The STAR VIBRATOR is used with the same current and socket that lights your home.
