(By David F. St. Clair.) Washington, May 20. The two most foremost subjects of speculation for politicians at the Capital at this moment are: What is to be the prob able course of Senator La Follette in the campaign, and what is to be the -w action of Senator Hiram Johnson and his friends in California regarding the Coolidge candilacy on the first Tuesday in November next; and the other question is if W. G. McAdoo should be nominated at New York over Governor AlwSmth, will not the great body of the Catholics knive the McAdoo candidacy? Senator La Folettn will rphirn his seat in the senajte this week with his neaun restored, it is reported. Republicans are predicting that he will give no indication of what course he will pursue till the Republican platform has bean evolved and pub lished at; Cleveland, but the senator is said to have told his friends that he expects no concessions to his' views in that platform and that the time has come for him to part company with his party now completely dom inated by the reactionarygelement. ii ne ooes make the leap out of his party to the head of a third party !- win ue uecause oi tne tremendously encouraging reports, it is asserted, he is receiving from a dozen North western and far Western State?. His followers are figuring out from these reports that as- the head of a third party, the Wisconsin senator will cap ture the electoral votes of the follow ing States; Calif oiia, 13; Colorado, , Alliums, so; iowa, ia; Kansas, 10: Michigan, 15; Minnesota, 12; Mon tana, 4; North Dakota, s; Oklahoma, 10; South Dakota, 5; arii Wisconsin, 13, a total of 135 votes. On the. above basis, Mr. La Fol lette's friends argue that the election oi president would certainly be thrown into the house. They take the view that the house as it now stands can not constitutionally elect a Presi dent for the reason that no candidate could secure a majority of the States voting as units. There are 23 States in the house haying Republican 1 ma jprities; there 20 States with Demo- cratic majorities, and 6 States with This view of th hoima'a iov;i; to chowe a President in the event that - rouewe is a candidate and ," polls' enough votes to throw the elec- ' tion into the house has hatched out very interesting rumor to the effect that thff Wisconsin senator will seek an understanding with the Democrat to have the same man put on both the Democratic and third party tickets for Vice-President. His choice foT hoi tickets, it is reported. Thompson, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission and a progressive cmwrai oi me most advanced type. Being on both tickets the senate would elect Mr. Thompson Vice-President and he would automatically be come President. It is of course notknown that tlim is any real foundation for such a rumor but it is well known that a clear understating of ce-operation does exist between the Democratic leaders in the senate and the La Fol- lette senators and the man who is said to be most responsible on the part of the Democrats in reaching that understanding is Senator Pat narnson, of Mississippi, who has been chosen temoorarv chairman f the Democratic national convention. The Democrats are grateful to La, Follette and his senatorial adherents for aiding them in bringing about the investigations that have uncovered the saturnalia of Republican corrpution and the public need not be surprised if remarkable developments should re- suit irom that co-operation: wnat Hiram Johnson may do la giving the Coolidge managers some concern. It is not believed he wIB offer open opposition io the election' of the resident for that would be to invite political annihilation for him self, it is contended. Nor is It flt that after all the California senator saia in condemnation of Mr. Coolidge and the Old Guard, that he can come out and bury the hatchet His ene mies say he is to selfish a politician to do that, and his friends aay he is too proud and strong a man to stulti fy himself thus. , He and his adher ents in California are likely to do nothing and the Coolidge managers rear tnat is more dangerous than open opposition. . The two antagonistic elements in the Democratic convention will be the forces of McAdoo and the forces ot Smith. Mr. McAdoo ' has secured very nearly a majority of the dele gates, me jsm KJux Klan la friendly to him and most unfriendly to Smith. Already it is heard that McAdoo is the Protestant candidate - and Smith the Catholio candidate. This feeling la being intensified by certain sections of the Protestant and Catholic . reli- gioua press, and Democratic abservere say this feeling will do more than, anything else to eliminate both men.
