Tills opinion la typical ot an Idea
which Is rapidly spreading throughout
the country. There It feeling dial
"the West It In the saddle for the pres
idential nomination In 1DC0."
The fact that the West decided the
last presidential election hat made It a
potent factor In future calculations.
Moreover, the politicians know that In

In time for the next national election
there are, nevertheless, 10 stales west
ot the Mississippi which have already
given their women the franchise, add

votes, which might easily turn the elec

Republican leaders ot the Kast aa well

It Is tlcnlflcant that three of the
most generally talked about presiden

which ha wat elevated tn 1010, he waa
a staunch advocate of measures favor
ing the control and restriction of big

roads. He sought the conservation ot
all natural resources of the country,
Including water power, coal and oil
lands. Before the war he stood strong

orously supported all measures ot thu
administration for the protection ot
American rights. lie advocated throw
ing the whole power of the nation Into

Mr Polndexter believes thtt Bolshe

and without the sanction and support
of this great power candidates for

Interests opposing tho railroad corpo
ration and later na governor, waged a
bitter and unremitting warfare against
railroad domlnntlon. Hit final victory

Polndexter, strongly opposed the

tlino to legsl practice until his election
to the senate In 1007. Borah la one of
the most active figures In the United
Slates senate, Hla efforts largely have
been directed toward tho proer de
velopment ot tho great natural re
sources of tho country, especially ot
the West, Ho Is known as a progres

for what he licllovca to bo right and,
llko tho other Included In this presi

start the League of Nations covenant.
From tho Atlantic to tho Pacific
Coast Is a lone Jump for national poll
tics to take. However, all precedents,
both In business and politics, seem to
be vanishing In theso daya ot remark
able readjustments, and the old theory
that a Presidential candidate must
