RALSTON FAVORED BY DEMOCRATS FOR RAGE AS NEXT PRESIDENT

PALLADIVSI NEWS BVRBAt WASHINGTON Dec. 11. Current political gossip In Washington Includes the report that many of the conservative Democratic leaders are coiisldering putting forward Senatorselect Samuel M.' Ralston of Indiana as a candidate foi' the presidential nomination in 1924; a report that Senator Harry S. New, who leaves the senate next March, is to be tendered and

will accept an important post in the federal service, with a hint that it may be a cabinet portfolio: also a report that former Representative Lincoln Dixon of Indiana is being urged by many Democratic leaders in Indiana to seek the Democratic nomination for governor two years hence. Senator-elect Ralston has several qualifications which have made a strong appeal to the conservative leaders of his party, representing all sections of the country. He is. they have determined, an "old hickory" Democrat, meaning that he stands squarely by the principles of his party and worships no false political gods; he comes from an important central western state; his defeat of his Progressive Republican opponent, Albert J. Beveridge, is regarded one of the

The party leaders who have shown Interest in Ralston as a possibility for the Democratic presidential nomination include many astute and influen-

tial politicians. They have turned down James M. Cox, for they regard

him a "dead one." McAdoo is too closely identified wifti former President Wilson to suit them, and they will have nothing to do with any candidate the radical element of the Democratic party, the spokesman of

which appears to be William Randolph Hearst, may present. Ralston, it is pointed out, belongs

to the conservative wing or his party,

but there is nothing in his record which would make him obnoxious to

he radical etoud. And while the ma

jority of the party managers who appear to be most interested in him are not pro-Wilson, Mr. Ralston is neither pro-Wilson nor anti-Wilson. . He has

been trodding safely and sanely along j the middle of the political roadway, which has, so far, led him to the senate chamber. That fact, it might be added, has not detracted from his desir

ability as a presidential possibility in

the minds of the conservative leaders.

The next Democratic presidential can

didate, it is agreed by party managers, must be one who can attract the com

bined support of the various discordant

party elements.

Governor-elect Al Smith of New

York would, undoubtedly, have the right of way over Ralston as the conservative candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination were it not for the fact that his nomination would be certain to inject the religious issue into the campaign.

Smith's surprising defeat of Hearst,

the Tammany Hall candidate, for the

Democratic gubernatorial nomination, and his recent election over his able Republican opponent, Governor Miller, by the most decisive plurality ever run up in the Empire state, has made him the most outstanding figure in the Democratic party. Lincoln Dixon, who, it is said, many Democratic leaders in Indiana are now seeking to groom for the gubernatorial nomination, is regarded one of the strong men of his political faith in the Hoosier state, although in certain sections of the state he is not particularly

well known. Dixon lives at North

Vernon. He represented the Fourth Congressional district in congress for seven terms and at the time of his retirement was one of the ranking mem-
