The moat surprising factor* of thia

eeff a man of
rutlve ability; and there is mach rea
to believe that if ho had boon
bead of the Treasury DepartaMnt and
the Federal Reoorve System after the
war. there would have been no such
policy of 'deflation' aa American agri
culture and industry was railed on
to suffer. Mr. McAdoo is also vigor
ous emphatic in bis advocacy of the
enforcement of prohibit ton and of
American entrance ftito the League of
it k. k. »i— 1
nee, there will be no pussyfooting on
either of thoee questions. Moreover
white he I* acceptable to labor and be
lieved in giving liberal wage* while
capital ww also making big profits
during the World War. Mr McAdoo it
no apoetle of radicalism or visionary
re.'jrras, and ha* the merit of being
strongly progressive without being
wild or dangerous.
Of the other leading candidate! in
this Presidential pull, not discusaed
last month, Mr. Underwood is lees
progressive or more conservative than
Mr, McAdoo, probably less strong in
his advocacy of the League of Nations
, and decidedly lees strong in his advo
cacy of prohibition; more in favor
.with the large business men and great
financial Interests than Mr. McAdoo,
but leas popular with labor. Governor
Smith la not associated in the public
mind with any great iaaue except the
destruction of prohibition, his action
in signing the bill to repeal New
York's prohibition-enforcement laws
having made him the "white hope" of
whiskey advocates all over the United
Statea. Governor Cos's defeat few
years ago was so overwhelming that
he is unlikely to be a serious contend
er for the IMS nomination. Presi
dent Wilson's poor health together
with the fact that he has been Presi
dent two terms eliminates him, while
W. J. Bryan's three defeats likewise
make him impossible. Senator Ral

or rather coloriesa candidate who
might get the. nomination aa a com
promise candidate—and then probably
be defeated at the polls. Carter
Glass la a far abler man. John W.

ture, personality, and character, bat
probably not quite progressive and
aggteaaive enough to make a success

So much advice haa been given to

First of all, study your fathor. Look

Remember that not lone **o you

in street work in Spencer on Friday
afternoon tied up a lane grading
force employed by B. G. Lasaiter and
Company, contractors for building
1150,000 in bitulithic pa vine bora.
The strikers were in the service of
the town and were engaged in low
ering water and sewer mains to get
them oat of the way of the grading
force. They demanded $3 per day for
10 hours instead of the present wage
of $2.50 per day of 10 hour*.
So far the town has not been able
to secure a force of men sufficient
to take their places. The men struck
at noon without giving notice, leav
ing ditches open in placet and up to
noon today there has been no indica
