WASHINGTON. Not during tho

from prai.-e or criticism of the jirc-M-dent to keen, frank .speculation as to bis successor "Lui not to be quoted from him." All conre.crmcn and senators arc apt to think that the only saccaful president must he taken from tho

daily ranido and eiocrieuce of con-!

Krrs.sional life. .Tames K. .Mann and Champ Clark arc at this time easily 1( adintc th" ccn r ssiorial poll of presidential po.-sihilitiea. "Tho minority leader of tho house Is hading his party ra': on th li rst quarter of th; track. lii.s lUhtiir-;

qualities his disciplined knowledge of legislation, his trained krio;vU-Ie of j the weak spots in the democratic

itKismuvf recoru, max- mm iru oesi equipped of all repuhlicans for an ai;Kressi o . liK'ht upon the issues." So haid a, western senator today who has himself been m'-ntioned for the republican nomination. And tin; same senator continued: "Of course. Champ Clark is the favortie candidate of democratic congressmen. He is more popular than when he entered the campaign of 1912. He is by the record the greatest vote vinru-r of his pi.rty. and his loyalty during the Wilson administration has greatly increased his popularity. Ho is the only congressional democrat that could compete with James K. AIa.nn In it campaign upon tlie issues." If these t'.vo men, James K. Mann and Champ Clark, should by tho fortunes of politics be pitted against each other, the situation would be unique In party politics. The two men aj-e bosom friends. They are an

Damon ami Pythias to each other. ri'litin? each other all day lrn for

the last seven yvars upon party issues on opposite sides of tho house, they have cemented u mutual respect and confidence which have developed Into a steadfast friendship. James It. Mann declared last Saturday nt Champ Clark' birthday celebration: "While I am a stalwart republican In faith and llphtinp practice, I am In all my sympathies a Champ Clark democrat." Tho speaker has many times declared that tho American congress has no truer, braver and more honest man than tho republican leader. In a political campaign, with party eupremacy und the presidency as the stake. It Is perfectly certain that neither the democratic speaker nor tho republican leader could bo induced to say o;ie word against the other. It would no a battle royal pure and simple upon the issues of the day. And whichever won the other would bo the tfrst sincerely to contrratulato Jthe other. If Sen. Weeks of Massachusetts had heen in congress jl little, longer, or if he were by reason of Iomk service a little better known, he would le Letter known, he would be worthy of any focman's pteel for the nomination. As It Is. he will undoubtedly be an Influential force in the national convention. He predicts that the republican states will each pledge their votes to Feme favorite son, and that the next -republican convention will not know or even prophesy its nominee until its session is two days old. Fen. Purton of Ohio must be reckoned with In 1'JlC. Of course, Porah and Whitman and Johnson and Herrick ure still powerful figures In the Kreat presidential derby of next year. The democratic party, in deference to iLs president. Is not projecting any candidates for the white house. Hut the woods are rull r,f dark horses that are ready and eager to enter the race if Wilson were only out of the Held. Put as Ion; as he is a candidate no democrat will enter the lists against him, as tho party must stand on his record.
