This f.4 the fourteenth of a ne ries of
articles by Carter Field on the political
outlook in the various etates.
By Carter Field
LOUISVILLE. Ky.. Feb. 4.?There is
more activity on behaif of Democratic
Presidential candidates in Kentucky
than in any other state in the union,
with the possible exception of Ohio,
right across the river, where the bat?
tle bi tween Cox arid Pomercne for the
honor of being Ohio's favorite is rag?
ing.
Kentucky is the only state in which
the Democratic National Committee
man has come out openly for any other
candidate than Wilson. Ceneral W. B.
Haldeman, until recently owner of the
"Louisville Courier-Journal," is oui,
flatly for the nomination by the Demo?
crats of Herbert C. Hoover. Whether
he will be able to deliver the delega?
tion to Hoover is another matter. The
general has never been the sort of
political boss that is depicted in car?
toons. An officer in the Confederate
army, he is an old school Southern
gentlemen. He is loved and highly re?
garded, but he is not implicitely
obeyed, as. to cite cases in neighbor?
ing states, Roger Sullivan is in Illinois,
Tom Taggart in Indiana, and as Senator
Stone was in Missouri until his death
left the democracy there rather leader
less.
Cox and Palmer in Lead
And the Democrats of the state
apparently are not very enthusiastic
about following the leadership of Gen?
eral Haldeman toward the Hoover
bandwagon. The two Democratic candi?
dates mustering .the most strength,
apparently, are Governor Cox, of Ohio,
and Attorney General Palmer. Al?
though Senator iPomerene. of Ohio, has
his headquarters in Covington, Ky.,
from which his propaganda is mailed
out all over the country by his man?
ager, who wjis formerly secretary to
George Creel, Pomerene has apparently
made little progress here. The strong
sentiment for Cox seems to flow over
the river from Ohio, for he is strongest
in Kentucky-, in the counties along
the Ohio River.
Attorney General Palmer is being
boosted by an influential group of
Democrats, including L. M. Smith,
known locally as "Busy" Smith because
he is said to bo always busy with poli?
tics. Smith was in the Adjutant Gen?
eral's office in Washington during the ,
war, and became a great admirer of
Mr. Palmer. Most of the Democrats,
however, are just marking time, won?
dering what the President is going to :
do, The probability seems to be now
that while General Haldeman may have
considerable to do with picking the
delegation, it will be uninstructed.
Wood Confers With Hert
Genera] Wood paid a visit to Louis?
ville January ti'J for the purpoap of
lining up A. T. Hert, Republican?; Na?
tional Committeeman and ab solute "bos s
of the Republican Party in the state.
Everyone concedes that Hert, whose
leadership carried the state and elected
a Republican governor last election,

IN an illuminating article on Specious internationalism,
the eminent historian, William Roscoe Thayer, pays
his respects in no uncertain terms to those visionaries
and radicals who would apply Internationalism as the
panacea for all material disorders. This candid dis?
cussion by a recognized authority will entertain you
and give you something to think about.
In the same interesting February number will be
found many notable articles and stories of the ex?
pected Harper standard, contributed by such well
known and deservingly popular writers as

will absolutely control the delegation
to the Chicago convention.
Mr. Hert gave a luncheon in the gen?
eral'.? honor, seemed much pleased with
his speech, but?did not commit him?
self. On the contrary he told close
friends next day, after the general had
gone back to Chicago, that he did not
think he would tie up with any candi?
date, either now or in the near future,
but would probably head an unin
structed delegation.
This will make the twenty-six dele?
gates of Kentucky a prize to be com?
peted for by rival candidates at the
convention, especially as it is becoming
increasingly apparent that no candi?
date is Koing to have anything like a
majority on the first ballot at Chicago.
And the man who will control twenty
six votes, as Mr. Hert will., beyond any
question, is going to be a very real
figure.
Hert is very friendly to Wood. Rome
of his friends say he will not be at al!
displeased if the general is nominated.
Some even say he prefers Wood to any
candidate in the field so far. I3ut he
has turned a very deaf ear to the
pleadings of the Wood men, and no one
here expects a change in the non-com
mital attitude.
Harding and Ixjwden Men Active
Meanwhile some of the friends of
Senator Harding, particularly down in
the Sixth Congressional district, which
is opposite Cincinnati, are very active
in behalf of the Ohio .Senator. It wa.<
this sixth district, normally heavily
Democratic, in which the Republican
made their biggest gains in the land?
slide for Covernor Morrow.
Friends of Governor Lowden are alsc
very active down in the river ciuntiei
across from Illinois, and expect to nai
down a lot of delegates to the stat?
convention. All that can be uecom
pi ?shed by either the Harding or Loft
den workers is a demonstration of pop
ularity and strength at this state con
j vention. And the entire object of this,
| practically, is moral for its effect in
; two directions. In the first place while
[ the delegation to the national conven?
tion will do exactly what Hert tells it,
Hert himself cannot help but be in?
fluenced slightly by such demonstra
j tions. In the second place the demon
. stration would give a certain, amount el'
| encounragcment, no matter how inef
! fectual it might be so far as the votes
I of the Kentucky delegates are con
j cerned, in other states.
The Republicans are confident of
j their ability to carry Kentucky for the
1 Republican nominee in November.
i They point to the election of Governor
: Morrow by a big majority at the last
i election, to the gain of a member of the
i House of Representatives in the 1918
i election, and to the more recent, bye
I election in which Representative Swope
?was elected in a strongly Democratic
1 district, with the Democrats playing
national issues strong and urging the
voters to stand by the President. The
| gain of a seat ni the liflH election, it
is pointed out, was made by defeating
ii Democrat of national prominence
Swager Sherley, who had been honored
by the House by being made chairman
of the powerful Appropriations Com?
mittee, and who has since been ap?
pointed to an important post by Pres?
ident Wilson, director of finance of the
Railway Administration.
Want Treaty Disposed Of
The election of Swope is taken a:
indicating that the people of Kentucky
are not as enthusiastic about tin
league of nations and the peace treat}
as arc the people of some other states
At any rate a prominent Democrat^
leader told me he thought very poo
politics had been played by the Demo
crats on the treaty and that in thi
interest of the Democratic parly ii
Kentucky he wished the Democrati
Senators would accept the Lodge reser
vations and keep the treaty out of th
campaign.' v ........

Advisory Committee ?

.Vete 1'nrk TribuvH
Washington Bureau
SVASHINCTON, Feb. 4. With inter
sit Urgely centering on an effort to
. hu;ry through the legislative program
of ti.-* Republican Congress, so that a
good rocord may be presented to the
country, the first meeting of the Ad?
visory Committee on Policies and Plat?
form, appointed by the Republican Na- :
tional Committee, was held here to-day. :
Twenty Senators and members of the I
House met with Chairman Hays of the
National Committee in the otlico of Sen- j
ator Lodge at the Capitol.
During the day Mr. Hays conferred
with scores of Republican Senators and j
member? of the House in his desire to!
have Congress hurry its program,
The mosl perplexing problem before |
the Republicans to-day, outside the !
i ver present, peace treaty, isi universal
military training. Senator Wadsworth '
is finding himself with a smaller and !
smaller following in his fight to have j
Congress put through such a bill. The '
impression is that a majority of the;
Republicans are afraid to take a
chance, politically, on universa! mili- |
tary training, and that the bill will not
even muster a majority in the Senate,
where it is much stronger than in the
House.
Foreign Relations Not Mentioned
It was denied that the peace treaty
v is mi ntioned in the conference of the
Committee on Politics and Platform. In
giving the advisory commission an out
nc of "suggestions" Chairman Haya
not only omitted the treaty from the
subjects for consideration, but put in a
paragraph stating that the "whole sub?
ject of foreign relations," thus em
bracing Mexico as well as the treaty,
does not properly fall within the
;crpe of the committee's work.-' He
added that the party's position on
these questions would be naturally
;iiided, at the convention, bv the. ac?
tions of the Republican Senators and
members of the House between now
and convention time.
Following, in part, is the memoran?
dum submitted to the advisory com?
mittee by Mr. Hays:
"It is not the function of this com?
mittee to draft a platform or to commit
the party to any policy. It is, how?
ever, the function of the committee to
investigate existing needs and condi?
tion.-; in so far as they offer specific
problems that will have to be con?
sidered by the national convention."
The information thus gathered, the
memorandum stated, would be sub?
mitted as advice to the resolutions
committee of the convention and to
the convention itself.
Subjects for Consideration
The subjects listed for considera?
tion by the committee were:
Tariff, international trade and cred
its, merchant marine, industrial rela?
tions and problems of labor and capi?
tal, regulation of industry and com?
merce, railroads, agriculture, farm
tenantry and country life; high cost
of living; conservation and water?
ways, currency and banking, taxation,
national economy, retrenchment and
budget; immigration, limitation of
Federal and state control and regula?
tion (education, pubnc health, indus?
trial problems, public works); mili
1 tary and naval polier, pensions, war
risk ?nsuranco and soldier legislation;
civil service and retrenchment, war?
time legislation, review of Democratic
Administration; insular possessions,
law and order and administration of
justice; social problem? (health, hous?
ing:, etc.); postal reform.
After stating that it would bo neces?
sary to ?elect members from the gen?
eral committee and executive commit?
tee to do th? actual work, the mem?
bers devoting all tho time to it, the
memorandum added:
"Tho whole question of foreign rela?
tions, other than shipping and inter- !
national trade and including relations
with Mexici, has been omitted because
it is felt that this subject, does not
properly fall within the scope of the j
committee's work and that all the facts, j
data and necessary information will be !
readily supplied by Republican Sena- I
tons and Representatives, whose posi- i
':on in tho meantime will necessarily j
guide the convention."
Statement by Mr. Hays
The following statement was made I
by Mr. Hays to-nifrht:
"Everywhere I find the people, re- !
gardless of past party affiliations, seek- !
ing Republican success, moved with
the conviction that by such success
they will make certain:
"First -An honest, efficient, eco- '
nomical business administration of the ;
country's affairs.
"Second That there will be de?
veloped and executed a plan for tho re
duet ion of taxes, with the repeal of
taxes which kill initiative and the
spreading of the war debt over a large
number of years.
"Third- That, there will be developed
a better relation between labor and
eapital, with justice to both, and with
justice to the public, the third side
of the triangle, which must not be
forgotten.
"Fourth That there shall be an ad?
ministration of law and order every?
where in the nation.
"Fifth-?That the party will measure
its steps forward by the new needs of
the nation, with its eyes always ahead.
but with its feet always on solid
ground."
John T. Adams, vice-chairman of the
National Committee and member for
Iowa, to-day took charge of the Wash?
ington headquarters for the campaign.
Hubert Work, National Committeeman
from Colorado, will have his headquar?
ters in Chicago, where Victor Heintz
is in charge.

Edwards' Boom Ready
For Democratic Dinner
Loaders from Upstate and City
Will Greet Cummings
Here To-night
Tho New Jersey friends of Governor
| Edward I. Edwards are preparing to
! boost his Presidential boom at the
I dinner to be given for Homer S. Cum?
mings, chairman of the Democratic Na?
tional Committee, at the Hotel Com?
modore to-night.
Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the
President, who "discovered" Governor
Edwards, and, according to the Hud?
son County Democrats, "put him over
or top of a 'wet' wave," is expected at
the dinner, and so aro Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy; Mayor John F. Hylan, Charles F.
Murphy, John II. McCooey, Senator Key
Pittman, of Nevada; Abram I. Elkus,
of the Court of Appeals, and othpr
D?mocratie leaders. John M. Richie,
president of the National Democratic
Club, will preside. Addresses are to
be delivered by Mr. Gummiring, Secre?
tary Daniels and Governor Smith, if
I tho state executive's illness does not
I prevent his attendance.
? Coming as it does on the night be
) fore the meeting of the D?mocratie
I State Committee, ?t is expected to draw
the upstate leaders to the dinner and
! the meeting of the committee.
The Republicans are watching both
i events. Either at the dinner or the
committee meeting, it is understood
that the Democrats will go on record
i with reference to the exclusion of the
I five Socialist Assemblymen at the >r?
stance of Speaker Sweet. It will be
recalled that the Democrats in the As?
sembly, with one or two exceptions.
voted with the Republicans, but many
of them are sick of the entire perforo;
anee and need only the word from the
b\g leaders to break away from their
Republican colleagues and throw the
onus of excluding the Socialists wholly^
upon the Republicans.
