WILL IT CAPTURE THZ REPUBLICAN NOMINATION IN t920?
COULDN'T MATCH THAT STORY
Senator Sft Altogether Toe Ft
Psce for Even Veteran Bore
to Follow.
A senator was entertsimn m
friend with stories stunt! tln Arltoim
ilesrrt. when a borv jolnetl the party.
Till bore wits the klml of a chap
that hIwujs laugh In the wrong plai
anil spoils a tur- b.v trying to guess Ita
rllmai. The seuutor undertook to
alienee him.
"Poor Ferptson!" he snlrt. "That
was a rinse shave he had In the desert
lust August."
"Sunstroke, of ennrse." snM the bore.
"No. not exactly." said the senator.
"You see. Ferguson stumbled accl
dfnmlly on the Cauldron our famous
spring, you know, that gushes out or
the rook at freeilng point ami Imme
diately begins to boll from the fierce
heat of the sun."
"Of course, of course." said the bore.
"Anil what happened to Ferguson? Did
he fall In the cauldron and boll to
death? (let on with your atory. man."
"Ferguson fell in." aald the senator,
"but he managed to scramble out
again. The peril, however, waa not
yet over for him. Our Ariiona air. you
see. Is so dry that II ahsorba moisture
with astonishing rapidity. Wen. me
boiling water in Ferguson'a clothes
evaporated so fast that tht poor fel
low Instantly froze stiff."
"1 ee." said the bore. "He die
cold Well, that reminds me"
"No, heUliln't die." said the senator.
"He almost died, but be had a miracu
lous escape. In his stlff frotea atate.
you understand, he began to shiver
with chill, and he shivered so hard
that In a few momenta he became over
hiated and would have succumbed to
sunstroke If he hadnt providentially
broken Into a cold sweat."
H ding a Klng'a Status.
The tine equestrian statue of King
Charlea I, which was hidden l London
for protection during the war. has been
brought to light again. The statue
which was cast during the reign of the
monarch, according to reports has not
enjoyed the uneventful career per
mitted to ntnsl works of Ita kind. It
was executed for Sir Richard Weston,
afterward earl of Portland, who In
tended to place It is an ornament In
his garden at Uochiintpton. But th's
function It never fulfilled, for it was
seized by parliament during the Civil
wnr and aold to one John lllvett. a
braaler. to be broken up. John. how-,
ever, being a royalist, hid the statue
and. by selling hundreds of bronne
knife handles purporting to be made
from It. disarmed any parliamentary
suspicions in the matter. On the res
turation of Charles II In tGOO Hlvett
produced the statue, which was
claimed by Sir Richard's son. The
hrurJer refused to ylsld It. and after
years of dispute It wua eventually pre
sented to King Charles II and erected
on the sKt formerly covered by the
original Churlng cross.
The political center ol jjruvuj iu

tark Times editorial. j
This opinion ia typical of an Idea
which la rapidly spreading throughout
tbe country. There !i a feeling that
the West Is In the saddle for Hie
presidential nomination In I'.rjO."
Tbe fact that the West decided the
lust pieMiletniul election bus made It
a potent factor In future calculations
Moreover, the politicians know tliut in
ease the woman suffrage constitutional
auietidtueiit does not become oierulUe
Id lime for the next national election
there are. nevertheless, 10 stnles west
of the Mississippi which have already
given their women the franchise, add
in n Inrremetlt of some six mill'on
votes, which ml;ht easily turn the elec
tion one way or the other. Hence, the
Republican leaders of the East as well
as of the West are seriously consider
ing whether It would not he good poli
tics to take a western candidate.
It la significant that three of the
most generally talked about presiden
tial possibilities, for lff-H) come from
the Far West. They are United States
Senators I'olndexter, Borab and John
son. The first mentioned, about whom
considerable discussion Is now center
ing, is from the state of Washington.
Though a native of Tennessee and
graduate of Virginia university,
Polnd'iter chose the Pacific North
west as his Held for life wrk. opening
a law practice in Walla Walla. Wash.,

ty lit HKiS I'oindexler was elected us
renrvseiitiitive from tbe state of
Washington 10 the Sisiy rtrsl Congress
He soon bennne known us an able, pro-
rr. ssive K.Miublican. In the senate, to !
; wlilcli he was elevated In lillO. he wuaj
a (launch advocate of measures favor
lug the control and restriction of big
j corporations, ese ially of the rail
, roads. He sought the conservation of
'all natural resources of the country.
including water power, coal and oil
' hinds. I'.efore the war he stood strong
ly for preparedness, and later be vig
orously supiioried all measures of the
administration for the protection of
American rights. He advocated throw
ing the whole power of the nation Into
the successful pnisei-ut ion of the war
Mr Poindexter believes that P.nlshe
vlstn and all other movements destruc
tive of representative government and
national spirit should be strongly tak
I en In hum) and that leaders In at
tempts to overthrow our institutions
should be severely punished, lie is
opposed to any scheme for ereuting a
hybrid government of the world where
by Europe and Asia, in his opinion,
would inevitably dominate this country
and control its policies. j
Hiram Johnson, a native or cantor
nla, was governor of the state before
he was chosen senator. He is extreme
ly popular In that commonwealth and
will be strongly hacked in his fight for
the Presidential nomination
Johnson was successful, after a long
struggle, in ridding California of the
domination of the Southern Pacific.
For years the polltlcul machine of the
railway held the state within Its hand.
muiI without Uiv. sanction and auppon
of this great power candidates foi
state or Judic al otlices could not hi
elected. Johnson, first as counsel foi
Interests opposing ihe railroad corpo
ration and later as governor, waged a
hitter and unremitting warfare agalnsl
railroad domination. His final victory
waa a potent factor In Ills. election to
the senate In W18 Johnson Is a Re
publican, but generally regarded as
one of the radical type. He has, like
Polndexter. strongly opposed the
League of Nations.
Senator William K Borah of Idaho
does not differ greatly In the degree of
his achievements from Hie two otnei
westerners Born In Wayne county.
III., Borah was educated in the com
mon schools of that state and at Kuc
sas State t'nlvetsity He was admit
ted to the har In ISOO and devoted hk
time to legal practice until his election
to the senate In 1007. Borah Is one of
the most active figures In the United
stste senate. His efforts largely nave
been directed toward the proper de
velopment of the great natural re
sources of the country, especially o
the West. He Is known as a progres
slve Piepuhllcan, fearless In flghtlm
for what he believes to be right and
like Ihe others Included in this pres
dentlnl group, has opposed rrotn in
start the League of Nations covenant
From the Atlantic to tne racin
Cn:ist Is a long Jutiip for national poli
tics to take. However, all precedents
both In business and politics, seem r
be vanishing In these days of remart
able readjustments, and the old theor
that a Presidential candidate mus
necessarily come from east of thsltls
sisslppl Is no longer tenable.
