DEMOCRATS "IN THE AIR' Former President, Says Portland Man, Could Draw More Labor Totes Than Other Republicans. As viewed by Eugene E. Smith, the predominant candidates for the re publican nomination for president are William Howard Taft and General Leonard Wood. The democrats, he ays, are "in the air." Mr. Smith, who formerly was president of the Port land Central Labor Council and was one of the representatives of organ ised labor in the 1919 session of the legislature, returned from the east a few days ago, where he had gone to look after industrial matters. "Naturally."" eaid Mr. Smith, "1 made it a point to ascertain how the presidential political situation is snap ins itself. I talked with many people, not labor men exclusively, and dis covered that Taft and Wood are con idered the leading candidates, al thoueU neither has a cinch on the nomination. "It is the opinion and I believe it to be correct that Taft could draw more labor votes than any other man the republicans could name, although Wood could draw heavily on the labor vote. Some labor men said to me 'Tf we must have a republican, give iib Taft.' These same people did not express themselves for any particular democrat or any democrat, at ail. Two Feari Held firoundlras. "However, while admitting that Taft could get a large part of the labor vote, two objections are raised against him. The first is the fear that in the big issues which will de velop in the next few years, Taft would not be sufficiently firm t( meet, as he is considered good-na lured and easy-going. The second ob lection ia that the old Roosevelt crowd would knife him. Personally, I consider each of these objections weak, for Taft can be as firm as any one, and so far as the old Roosevelt followers are concerned, they couldn't do otherwise than support him if Taft is nominated. "As for General Wood, his cham Ynons assert that he would be firm and able to handle a difficult eitua tion; also that he could carry a lot of the labor vote. "Hiram Johnson's boom doesn't ap pear to be making much of an im pression. People I talked with said that they were tired of crusading, and Johnson is a natural crusader lie wants to keep things stirred up. You can't get things settled if you keep stirring them up. and there a strong general desire to settle down and get somewhere, we ve been cru eading too long and following ideals. It's time to get down to brass tacks. Democratic Outlook Haiy. "The democratic presidential situa tion isn't likely to shape itself unti ft is discovered what Wilson intend doing I don't mean that he will be after a third term, but on whose shoulders he will want his mantle to fall. Some say it is McAdoo, but think they are mistaken. There 1: considerable talk about Palmer the democratic nominee on account the stand he took in the coal strike, but I think it will develop later tha Palmer took that attitude on behalf of the administration.' Discussing the labor party move ment. Mr. Smith said he did not be lieve it would "become a national fac tor of Importance, although there is sentiment in favor of local labor par ties in some states. - "Jt would be a good thing, said he tf there were a few men in congre who have some understanding of in dustrial conditions, instead of many who are always thinking of po litical effect. It is Just an bad to be always attacking labor as it is, on th other hand, to be attacking legitimate industries. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 26. (Spe- , cial.)

And the wholesale house sent the salmon to neadquarters, for preservation in a formalin bath. At first glimpse the silverside seemed certainly to have two com plete sets of gustatory equipment, two generous entrances to his hun gry gullet.

If ever a silverside Beemed to have beenj jested with by nature, this fellow was that specimen. But he hadn't. Closer Inspection revealed that, at some distant time, probably when he was a fingerling or a lusty young two-year-old, the v- shaped cartilage which supports the tongue had been wrenched loose from the lower jaw and had healed per fectly, giving the fish the semblance of two lower jaws. Perhaps it was a sportive lunge at a spinner when the trollers were at work over the bar that wrought the mishap. In countless tons of salmon harvested through many a season, nothing of similar singularity has been noted. "It's a problem to understand how he fed, commented Harvey L.
