Stewart - (WMhlnrtoa Cormptalnt for 'Central ' PrM and Tfce Statesman.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. Tho ProgreaalTes pot a presidential ticket In the field In 1924. There's hardly a hint of one In connection with the coming campaign. True, Senator George W. Noiris has the Progressive endorsement for the J Republican nomination, bat the' Progressives know he won't get it. Yet scarcely anybody urges running him Independently, like the late Senator Robert M. Ia Follette, fonr years ago. It Isn't-that Progressive senti meat has waned. On the contrary, the group stronger in congress especially the senate than when La Fol lette, the elder, ran. From all signs, this ought to be a better Progressive year than that was However, the Progressives appear to have had their fill of third party activities. The fact is. La Follette prob ably wouldn't have been nomlnat ed In 1924, If It had been exclus Ively up to tbe Progressives to nominate him. The Committee for Progressive Political -Action a clumsier nam for It would have been hard to think of originally was to have held, not a nominating convention but a conference, after the Repub lican and Democratic selectionf had been made, to decide what to ao aoout it. rne intention was to choose, if possible, between the two major league presidential candidates, and to frame up a list of congressional nominees whom good Progressives could conscien tlously vote for. It was the general public, t numDer or newspapers, and one or two political groups like the Socialists, rather than the Pro gressives, wnicn insisted on re garding the affair as the birth ot new party. These outsiders took it foi granted that La Follette would lx nominated. They announced that they were going to support him he wasn't quite as advanced as the Social ists, for Instance, but he'd do they'd be on hand to root for hlro at tbe "convention" and he'd get their votes in November. It amounted to a challange to the Progressives to fish or cut bait. They loved the old Wisconsin war horse. They weren't going to ad mit that anybody had more faith in him than they had. So, some what against their better Judg ment, they simply were bustled Into accepting a program that wasn't at all theirs in the first place and thus we had the La Follette and Wheeler ticket. It was all right. The Progres sives were well enough satisfied with the showing they made. .Still, they feel that It was' most ly a wasted effort. Their policy not in an Invld loas sense of the expression is to "bore from within." It's worked pretty well. They have the casting votes in the senate. Blaine, Brookhart, Frailer, La Follette, Norrls and Nye (Republir cans, so-called), Shlpstead (Farmer-Labor), "Wheeler (Democrat) thlck-and-thln Progressives all. Borah, Howell and McMaster (Republicans) and the two Walsh es (Democrats) class as almost as good. Capper, Coutens, Johnson nd Norbeck (Republicans) and Ashurst, Dili and Neely (Demo crats) are regarded as "right." In the main. And Cutting as yet a good deal of an unknown quan tity the Progressives have high hopes of him. There a re, also some others in what Senator Shlpstead calls "the twilight zone." At least a couple of score pretty fair senatorial Progressives, more or leae out of a total member ship of II. when they're an there. The Progressives like this bet ter than failures at the presidency. They say they don't Intend to be rushed off their feet this time. Rosedale Young People Visit Home From School ROSEDALE, Feb. 20.

"The road to the 1928 republi can nomination has opened wide for Mr. Hoover and if he does not make the grade it will be either because he Is the world's worst politician or has perfectly fright ful luck," declares Frank R. Kent In the March issue of "Plain Talk Magazine." Mr. Kent, who is conceded to be one of the nation's most astute political writers, is convinced that Herbert Hoover will not be ditched this time as he was in 1920. This is largely In his opin ion because of the kind ot people who are opposing him the big fi nancial interests, and the old fashioned bosses. "To an unprejudiced person." observes Mr. Kent, "it looks as if the luckiest thing about the Hoo ver situation right now is the character of his opposition. It seems to be steadily kicking him upstairs. He is, as Is said, a very able and fine man of high char acter and extraordinary capacity. The trouble is he has 'too active a mind' and might, as president. be disposed 'to do something' That sounds rather absurd but those are the actual words of one of the biggest of the bankers In sxplaining, some days ago, the 'eellng of himself and his frlendf ibout Hoover. It Is, upon reflec tion, a very Interesting and illum inating Idea. If it gets pretty gen erally spread around It certainly will not hurt the Hoover chances." In any case Mr. Kent is inclined to believe that It is too close to 1920 for the old guard to dare to try to put anything over at Kan City a la Harding and also that "the afore mentioned 'Inter national bankers,' Influential and accustomed as they are to having their way in the Grand Old Party, 111 not push opposition to Hoo ver to the limit. The reason given Is that it could not be done with out plainly stamping their candl late, whether it be Dawes or someone else, as the banker-poli tician selection, which would not t is agreed, be healthful. Cer- alnly it would present the demo srats with a real weapon, which in the hands of a man like Smith might easily be effective. The danger is so obvious and un necessary as to deepen the gen jral conviction that it will not be done. Mr. Hoover's strong points are listed by Mr. Kent In "Plain Talk" as follows: 1. His Is the logical choice of a convention that must endorse Cool id ge and the Coolldge poll cies. 2. Despite the neutrality typical of Mr. Coolldge and the still non committal attitute of Mr. Mellon the open advocacy of two mem bers ot the cabinet and the ardent support of various important of flclals Just under the cabinet grade, added to tne Known mck of political and personal accord between Mr. Dawes and Mr. Coo lldge and between Mr. Dawes and Mr. Mellon, make Hoover far more the administration candidate than any other. 3. The conviction among many republican leaders that it will be easier to win the general election with Hoover than with anyone else, together with the fact that already 330 Hoover delegates can be counted in the convention.
