JOSEPH US DANIELS 1
SUGGESTED AS OUR
NEXT PRESIDENT
The North Is Interested
* in Talk about Tar Heel
for Nation's Leader.
New York, Feb. 20t?Political and
personal friends of Josephus Dan
iels, former secretary of the navy,'
axe quietly sounding out sentiment
in this state, as weft as other sec
tions of the east, as to the possible
availability- of the North Carolina ed
itor as the next democratic presiden
tial nominee. ?
The Daniels boom is a tiny one as
yet, no bigger than a man's hand.
it has risen out of the steam of
the boiling Teapot Dome. It has
much the same- impetus as the move
ment which has been started in some
localities for the nomination
of Senator Walsh, of Montana, the
man who has had the burden of the
Dome investigation on his shoulders
for more than a year.
- It has been recalled the political
career of Charles E. Hughes, now
secretary of state, grew out of an in
vestigation, when he was special
counsel for a New York legislative
? committee, which showed up some of
the illegal practices of big insurance
.companies.

I friends have teetatiwely brought him.

I exed hi mas gaesidential timber long
I before the Teapot Dome disclosures
I showed him in. such a favorable light.

I have the baching of many of the best
I elements pf his party.
I Not the least potent of the influ
lNenees claimed to be-behind Mr. Dan
