House Asked to Provide
$5,000 to Beautify
Grounds.
An appropriation of ?6.000 "to
dedloate the Lincoln Memorial at
Potomac Park In the fall.-' was asked
of Congress yesterday by a bill In
troduced In response to a request
of former President William How
ard Taft, chairman of the Lincoln
Memorial Commission, forwarded
through the Secretary of the Treas
ury.
The bill would make the sum of
15.000 available at the beginning of
the coming fiscal year to grade and
otherwise beautify the grounds
around Oy memorial in preparation
tor dedication. Mr. Taffs letter to
Secretary Houston follows:
"My Dear Mr. Secretary: Con
struction work on the Lincoln Me
morial Building- itself is nearly com
pleted and can be finished by the
early part of the summer. The
grounds around the building, how
ever, are In a very Incomplete and
unsightly condition.
"Moreover, the planting Imme
diately adjacent to the building
which will give the proper Betting
and which Is so Important to the
"appearance of the memorial has not
been started pending the completion
of the grading. All of the above
work can be finished i>y early au
tumn.
"The dedication of the memorial
will be an Important occasion and
It Is desired that It present at that
time the best possible appearanc?*
This can be effected hy holding the
dedication In the autumn of tabi.?
year. Moreover, the chances r<_
suitable weather are much greater
at that season than at any other."

The conditions thin year are la
sharp contradiction of those which
have prevailed for a quarter of a
century. In neither party la there
indicatici*! of a majority leaning; to
ward one man. While the Preal
dent'a cryptic aliene? concernine his
own purpose? and possible ambi
tions, has kept certain strong andr
popular members of his party from
cornine into the open. It Is the gen
eral conviction that his attitude,
when announced, will be that of one
retiring from polltlcalaatrlfe. It la
entirely possible thK? the abnormal
situation in which the affaire of the
nation have been placed by the
world war might have made It pos
nlble for the friends of the President
to ignore the deeply-rooted public
aversion to a third term, with some
chance of success. But when to the
antl-thlrd term sentiment la added
the doubt as to Mr. Wilson's ability
,to ?ta??! the ?train of a presidential
campaign few. even of hie chief
Idolators will be willing to preaa
hie candidacy. Yet until he speaka
there will remain several presiden
tial candidaci?* within his party
unannounced.
I do not myself tjilnk that the
candidate* whose appearance is
thus delayed are likely to suffer.
Politics is one branch of human en
deavor to which the copyboojc max
im about the early bird does not
apply. The early bird la apt to fur
nish fat poking? for the later com
er?. Particularly is this likely to
be the rase in a campaign in which
the candidates are legion and the
Issues ill defined. (
Party Iaaaea ?fart Yet Deflae-1.
Nobody csn tell at thia moment
what will b#- the paramount is<-u-?s
of the cornine campaign. The Re
publican organisation Is mi puzzled
by the problem that It Is offering?
prizes for suggestions of a platform
likely to awaken public interest and ,
enlist public support. Tt is worthy:
of note that the New York Tribune. ]
which is gathering and tabulating
suggestions of this character re-'
ports that interest seem? to center;
upon those hearing upon interna- :
tfonal relations. That may well be
because at the moment the papers'
arc busily discussing the treaty,
and the Le-PHCue of Nations. Among ;
students of politics however there la j
h v*?ry well 'defined feeling that be-?
fore the conventions interest in In- ,
ternational' problems wili lac. and.
?.hat questions of internal develop- j
ment and Industry, governmental ,
thrift and, relief from burdensome '
taxation' will he the issues upon
which the outcome of the election
will depend.
But these are Issues upon which
no sharp divergence of party lines
is possibly If is unquestionably ,
true that on the issue of govern
mental economy, and high taxe? the
D?mocratie party will he on the de- ;
fensive. Jt fought the war. and is
responsible for the enormous, ex
penditures entailed by that job. It
Is a matter of common notoriety
that much flagrant and scandalous
extravagencc accompanied these
???\pcnditurc?.?not in or* perhaps
than always attends the prosecution
of a war. for war is waste, but still
enough to furnish the Republicans
with a line of attack. More peril
ous to the Democrats than actual
wartime expenditures, will be evi
dence of any lai lure or unwilling
ness to reduce expenditures since
tlie armistice, and of tins t Ii< Ue
publicans claim to have Gathered a
maSf* of telling evidence.
Roth Favor 9iffragf.
Put it Is evident that <>n the ab
stract principles of economy, effi
ciency, sturdy Americanism and the
like one party can preach as plausi
bly as the other. Bach will declare
?tsclf the mainstay and successful
champion of woman suffrage; neith- j
er will express itself too frankly on !
the mooted question <>f prohibition,
unless in the Democrat ??? r inks Mr.
Bryan and Governor Kdwarde in
sist upon ?? fi^ht t?* a hnish. So
far as present indications go a*
shrewd and cautious student of po
litica might write :i platform ac
ceptable to either parly. There is!
a certain emphasis laid upon the |
lack of distinctive party lines by
the fact that the- two very dis
tinguished publie servants are be
ing widely discussed for presiden
tial honors without anyone beinp
?ulte clear aa to which party can
claim either one. The position of
General Pershlng and Mr. Hoover
today is* not peculiar to these gen- I
tlemen. It is shared by a very great j
body of the electorate.
With most of the presidential pos
sibilities however past affiliations
compel alignment with one or the
other of the great parties. And the
uncertainties which characterize |
the political situation have bred a
multitude of candidacies among
gentlemen of ? calibre not hitherto
Yegarded a? presidential.
Predicted Convention's Pall.
This is a feature of the presenr
day situation which was not-at all
foreseen four years ago. I recall
that It was .the general ?eying
around the conventions at St. Louis
and Chicago that they would be the
last great nominating conventions
to be held. It was thought that the
wide extension of direct primaries
and the presidential preference sys
tem in practically all of the States
would rob the conventions of their
power. A popular candidate with a
strong organization to press his
cause could cinch his nomination in
the primaries, and the convention
would become nothing but a ratifi
cation meeting. But nothing of the
sort has occurred. The conventions
this year bid fair to be more thor
oughly "unbossed" than ever. The
multiplicity of candidates was never
greater. The chances of a wholly
unexpected outcome at either Chi-j
cago or San Francisco are exceedingly I
good.
Affecting the/ selection of candi- |
date? this year are certain consider
ations, some of which have never
before entered Into our political
problem, and none of which hither
to has loomed so large. .
Chief among these is the woman
vote. Should the nineteenth amend
ment be ratified by the States prior
to election day?which seems prob
able as thirty-one of the thirty-six -
States needed have already acted
favorably , not les? than 12,000,000
new voter? will have to be reckoned
upon. Even should the federal
amendment not be operative by that
time there are twenty-three States
in which women, equally with men
van vote for presidential candidates.
This fact will naturally influence
both conventions, and will tend? to
eliminate any candidate thought to1
be obnoxious to the sex. ? candi-I
?date from a State which has failed |
to ratify the amendment, or whoJ
ha? aligned himself ja opposition to]
it. is 'likely to have shore shift in I
either convention.
Neither party can monopolise she
credit nor bear alosa the odium if
one look? upon It that way?of es
tablishing national prohibition. That
change In national policy. pM?eed
ing from the people, frasa?nd through
the stage of Stai, legislation, ia
which Republican and Democratic
States were equally concerned, to
the point of congressional action
aad ratification by legislator???* with
no visible line of demarcation be
tween the two parties. A few week?
ago it seemed improbable that pro
hibition would be an i.sue between
the partie?, or for that matter, cre
ate any conflict of opinion in the
Committee on Resolutions of either
convention. Recently, however. UM
savage attack of Governor Edwards
of New Jersey, upon prohibition per
se. and the suggestion of Governor
Smith of New York, that the ques
tion of local enforcement of the law
be left to a S?te referendum have
made the prohibition question a
very live issue In Democratic ranks
It is Improbable, howewar, that even
the clamor of the forces which ara
now openly hostile to the amend
ment can persuade the Democratic
convention to declare itself In favor
of the amendment but against Ita
enforcement. -j
Organised hostility to the probi-'
bitlon amendment Is In the main
confined to a small group of Eastern
States?Rhode Island. ?Connecticut
and New Jersey that refused to rat
ify the amendment, and New York.
Pennsylvania and Maryland, that
ratified it, but in which powerful
political forces have since declared
themselves antagonistic to its liter
al enforcement. The1 country ?? ?
whole Is strongly for prohibition.
Under the operation of local option
and State laws a large majority of
the Slates, and of the people wer?
under prohibition nnd had accus
tom??*? themselves to its limitations
before federal action was taken.
Political reforms founded upon
moral issues have never gone back
ward. It would have been as rea
sonable to expect a political party
in 1S68 to declare for a modification
of the anti-slavery amendment by
permitting the maintenance of a
modified form of serfdom, as to call
upon either party today to qualify
and weaken the eighteenth amend-^
raent. even before Its operation id* '
effects hive been given a reasonable
test. I
Seek \ ?????t la Weat.
At present it would appear that it
is >n!y within the Democratic party
?hat any attack upon the amend
ment is to be expected. And one
effect oc the agitation ha. been to
convince some prominent Democrats
that these Eastern States from
whlofl- the demand for a pro-liquor
policy proceeds, must be in a meas
ure abandoned In the coming etiti?
palrrn. and the victory sought where
it was won In IMS. in the West.
They argue that not only In liquor
l?gislation, but In all matters of so
cial concern the Democratic party is
the party of liberali.m and prog
ress. To abandon 'and repudiate the
liberal record of the last eight
years, would, they hold, be suicidal.
But the forces erf rejection are strong
in N,w York. New Jersey and ad
jacent States, none of which were
carried by the Democrats In 1*1?.
Their delegations are likely to
travel to Sen Francisco demandine '
a platform as reactionary oa all
points as the embattled wet flover
nors w uld have it on the liquor
question. On such a platform, fo
at least the progressive Democrats
declare, the national party organi
zation could never be held togeth
er, and the great pains In the West
made four years apo would inevi
tably be sacrificed.
Obviously this point of view af
fected the personal fortunes of
those candidates who come frorr
the Seaboard States. Though Mc
Adoo and Palmer possess personal
records entirely satisfaetory to the
prohibition forces, the attitude as
sumed by their State organizations
may prejudice those forces to their
detriment- ?
Bryan ?itili a Power.
Moreover, it Is a matter of gen
eral recognition that the fulmlna
tions of Governor Edwards, and
those in sympathy with him, have
resulted In the revival of Mr. Bry
an's stren*rth in the Democratic par
ty. Mr. Bryan has always been a
force to he reckoned with whenever
circumstances crave him an issue
upon which he could go direct to
the voters of the land. Four years
?co no such Issue presented Itself,
and four years ago was the only
time since l*St when Mr. Bryan
was not a power in the convention
and ?except in l?o??the determin
ing power. He has never been over
popular with party leaders. Their
acquiescence in his leadership ha?
always resulted from their hellcf
that his hold on the people was too
strong for them to prudently an- .
tagonize.
When that hold seemed broken. ?
his Influence In party councils
?.-??ned. Six months sgo it seemed
at its lowest But the President's
suggestion that the ratification of
the treaty be left open until after
election afforded Mr. Bryan ?n op
portunity which he Instantly seized
to get on what has proved to be
the popular side of that question.
The agitation by Democrats In the
populous but exceedingly provin
cial middle-Atlantic States against
prohibition opened the way for him
to rally about him once again the
great middle class, rural or small
town element in our electorate
which has always constituted his
strength in politics. Mr. Bryan Is
always at his best In defending a
moral, or perhaps a sentimental, re
form. Peace and prohibition are
issues eminenti?,' fitting to his abil
ities, and in advocacy of which he
can best organise his following
Into a coherent phalanx. Whether
he can effect his own nomination
Is a matter of very considerable
doubt. Whether he can even be
a delegate to the convention from
Nebraska Is at the moment uncer
tain. But that his influence at San
Francisco will be great. If not in
deed paramount, is not questioned
hv anyone versed In political af
fairs.
Labor aad the IrUa Vate.
In neither .party is it probable
that any Presidential candidate
whose reArd is offensive to either
the women of the country or the
prohibition element will find favor.
Tao other elements In the electo
rate will compel consideration, al
though in my opinion In a lesser
degree. These are the labor fac
tion and what may roughly be
called the Irish vote.
Labor today, under the leader
ship of Mr. Gompers. Is putting
forth strenuous efforts to control
the action of both parties. No ap
peal to the political leaders for
abstract justice ia made. What Is
demanded ts that men "favorable
to labor" shall be nominated for
every office from President down,
and the threat Is frankly made that
the vote of organized hxbor will be
east against candidates who have
not given evidence of this "favora
ble" spirit. a

G.O. P. Threatened to Call

The group of Rep?blica/.? m tha
House who favor the enactment of
Holdiers' bonus legislation scored a
triumph yesterday, when, in the face
of their threat to force a caucus to
put the party on record, the Steering
Committee agreed to take definite ac
tion in the matter next week.
Following the conference of the
'?nus advocates, when it waa deter
mined to force the party leaders to de

the soldiers' bills, the committee of
four named by the conference me:
with the Steering Committee yester
day. Here is the proposa; made by
the Steering < ommittee:
(eaaiiff, nan?j.
The railroad hill and other Import
ant matters are scheduled to come up
next week, and delegations from the
American I*cglon are expected hereto
confer with members of Con ? reef on

would agree to withhold for a week
action looking toward the forcing of
a caucus, t: .?? ?Steering Committee
would pro" o then consider a plan
whereby ti ? nty-flve bonus bills
mould be rt-? to one commltte*?

The committee of four reported baca:
to their colVague* the result nf their
conference with the Steering Commit
tee, and after a discussion of more
