Do not let anyone tell you that Colonel Frank Knox la not a candidate, or that he la & stalking horse for Hoover or anyone else. The rough-riding associate of the original Ted dy may now be carrying his cam paign headquar ters around un der his hat. The Invisible creeping network of sup port for him out In the country may yet be un official and un authorized, and based on some of PAUL MALLON the old Hoover support. But when the time comes, ahortly you will hear a formal declaration of candidacy In his own name, for him self and no one else. That Is, you will If everything goes along during the next few months as It has In the last few. The right physiological mo ment should be reached early in the winter. Knox Is now playing lamplighter for the Republican party. He Is car rying the constitutional torch to all sections. He will be particularly ac tlTe in coming weeks. Engagements are piling up. :, ( His basic strategy for the present Is . to let the groundswell swell. It start ed from a Vox Pop suggestion. One of the anonymous constant-readers, who are alwayswrlting In to news papers, originally suggested the move ment, after reading a Knox speech. Other unknowns, and later some very well-knowns, seized their pens and picked up the ided. The mailbag be came so heavy a few weeks back that Knox moved his experienced ace po litical reporter out of the editorial room into a nearby office. . That Is about all there !s to Knox headquarters at present, except that a lot of outlying politicians heard the bandwagon coming and started running to get on. The eastern politicians have all been whispering that Knox would not even get the Illinois delegation. Some inside fixing has been done about that. One of the Interesting features of the situation is Colonel McCormlck, publisher of the Chicago Tribune. McCormlck gave a good hint of his intentions by Agreeing to introduce Knox at a Constitution day celebra tion. Knox returned the compliment few ..mMiTiff to introduce McCormlck at a Republican round table lunch eon, September 30. Furthermore, there are reasons for believing Hearst will be cooperative, if not friendly. . This does not mean Knox will get all his home state delegation. No one ever had it, including Lincoln. But what he loses may not be as im protant as eastern bigwigs now ex pect. President Roosevelt has slipped considerably here. A fair guess would be that 90 per cent of loop business i r MM(nt him. His "breathing spell" promise does not seem to have had much effect on them. Republicans are active and are In telligently trying to capitalize the business sentiment. A Republican citizens' association has been created.
