PARTIES JOB PLANNING TO NAMECANDIDATES REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS 1N WASHINGTON ARRANGING FOR MEETINGS OF NATIONAL COMMITTEES IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY. (By United Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 Republi cans and Democrats today began ac lively organizing for the business oij electing a president ot the United States in 11)20. Leaders were on the ground, ar ranging for meetings of the Demo cratic and Republican national com mittees here on January 8 and 9 De cember 10, respectively, to pick con vention cities. Press agents representing the can didates were also beginning to appear, armed with much literature. An noucements of new candidates were expected to come thick and fast from the G. 0. P. ranks within a few days, but the democrats are holding back. There are many ideas as to what the issue would be. Miles Poindex ter, senator from Washington and one of the first Republican candidates in the field, declared it would be bolshe vism and that he would make his fight on a platform promising eradication of the red menace. Senator Lodge's expressed willingness to go to the country with the peace treaty as an is sue, made it appear that he had presi dential aspirations himself. Senator Harding, Ohio, also a candidate, has not yet announced his conception of what the principal point of conten tion between the two major parties will be. Senator Johnson is under stood to be planting nns race on a "straight Aniericaif" platform. Some of the candidates who loom biggest, such as Governor Lowden of Illinois and General Wood, have not entered the battle of press agents here as yet, the inference being they are holding back until the situation is a little more clarified. As for the democrats, the fact that none had come out for the candida cy gave strength to a report here that president Wilson, in spite of all information to the countrary, has not yet made up his mind with regard to making a third team effort. With the treaty out of the way there is little doubt that, in view of his illnes-s and weariness of public life he would be willing to step aside and not even participate actively in the campaign. Hut if the treaty is to be the issue the president may deem it his duty to either head the icket which sup ports ratification, or take a prominent part in naming that leader and fight ing for his election. W. C. McAdoo was seen as a bidder for labor support if he becomes a can didate, in view of his telegram to Fuel Administrator Garfield vigorous ly supporting the miners' wage de mands and opposing the idea of le: tmg the public pay the increase. Iiui MuAdoo has not avowed his inten tions and the other Democratic pus silililies including Governor Cjx and A. Mitchell 1 aimer, are keeping very quiet. William Jennings Bryan, al- j though he lias said lie has no more political ambitions, is frequently oiought into the situaLiun whan th'j Democratic aggregation is being look id ovj:'. There has been some talk of "states right" figuring as an issue. This might come about in connection with enforcement of prohibition. Rhode Island has not ratified the constitu tional amendment and, according to her representatives here intends to resist enforcement on the ground that the federal government has no right to interfere in sucha matter. If such an issue were to be created, however, it is believed here it would be likely to get only luke-warm support from any aspirant unless there is a decided back-wash against prohibition within the next few months. Many cities are bidding for the Re publican national convention. San Francisco is to make an effort to cap ture it and is running stronger than is generally realized. Its supporters say it lost out narrowly four years ago and talk of an understanding at that time whereby it was to get the convention in 1920. Other cities con tending are Chicago, Ashbury Park, St. Louis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, and St. Paul and Minneapolis com bined. For the Democratic conven tion, Baltimore, Chicago, Indianapolis and St. Louis are among the cities bidding. Politicians are looking to South Da kota to bring out the first "bumper crop" of candidates. January first is .,. .,. ., PHONE- T ONE FIVE A GOOD DRUG STORE ? Who's Here Plenty to attract you.
