(By BpecUl Leased .Wire.)
Washington, April 17. The Demo-
c ratio party aerer had such an oppor
tunity to recover th House and Men-
ate and. sleet a president this fan ss
they have at th present time", said
Senator Lee fi. Overman, ranking mem
ber of two of th biggest and most im
portant committees of the BenttCp- ap
propriation aad Judiciary and a pic
turesque figure la the upper branch of
Congress. . ,
The Senator bases hi opinion on th
apparent hopeless disagreement within
the ranks of th .Republican party for
the presidential nomination, the League
of Nation, and many other questions
of less importance. He contends that
th Republican party is aplit almost to
smithereens at the present time because
of the bitter fight being waged between
Wood and Johnson, representing 4he
progressiva or ''Bull Moos" element of
the party and Low den and Harding,
who are of the reactionary Boies Pen
rose type.
Republican f sol Boneless
There was never a time . when the
Bcpubliean felt so hopeless regarding
th presidental election. Many leading
men within th Republican rank, are
of the opinion that th chances are
mor than eves that a third party will
result from th Republican convention
at Chicago in- June. In such event the
G. (X P. would bo ia much worse shape
than eight years ago. At that time they

should either Johnson r Wood doeide
to break away front the Old Guard aad
make their political bed independent of
th Republic a partsv they would have
a much harder time thaa tha defunet
Bull Moose party which died a natural
death ia lest thaa three year after ita
birth at Chicago with Tbeodor Boose

With the- Democrat it 1. different,
There is bo resl fight among those ss-
pirinsr to the Democratic nomination.
William G. McAdoo apparently has the
iaside track - and all signs at present
point to his nominstion at Ban Franeia-
eo. But should be lose out aad a more
important man be submitted there
would be no such bitter feeling a bow
exists in the Republican ranks.
Senator Smith T Speak
" So the statement of Senator Overman
that the Democrats have a wonderful
opportunity to keep i control of the
administration and regain their - for
mer majorities in both branches of
Congress has a sound basis. Ia faet tb
view of the junior North Carolina Sen
ator ia shared in by most of tha leading
Statesmen in Washington and some of
them aro lesding Republicans. Of edurs
the latter do -not wish to be quoted.
Nevertheless this is their privets view.
- Senator E. D. Smith, senior senator
of South Carolina, rill apeak at a Ran
dolph county Democratic rally oa 'the
