Affairs of Week at Nation's Capital (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Evidence is growing that next year's presidential campaign will be fought out by Hoover and Roosevelt as the candidates of the two major parties. The whispering campaign against the President, which had been getting out of hand in recent weeks, received a severe setback at the hands of former President Coolidge, whose open appeal to all members of the G.O.P. to follow precedent and back Mr. Hoover in his desire for a second term startled the country. Mr. Coolidge applied no mean axe to the roots of the boom that his former supporters had started in his favor. His renunciation of the profiled candidacy was complete. It lacked any of the uncertainty of his famous "I do not choose to run" of four years ago. Without naming Mr. Hoover, he clearly indicated he considered him the only logical candidate for the Republicans in next year's campaign. He added that it did not appear common sense that he should now seek an office he could have run for four years ago with every prospect of winning: His public announcement has clarified the air regarding the Republican candidate while equally emphatic appears to be the demand by Democrats that Governor Roosevelt of New York run on their ticket. Roosevelt's recent visit to Georgia, right into the heart of states that refused to support Alfred E. Smith in 1928, showed that their defection from the Democratic party was not through their conversion to Republican principles but to a dislike for the candidate. Roosevelt is personally popular and is considered strong enough to unite the solid South and win enough Democratic support, besides New York State, in the North to make his nomination certain. There is, in addition, the off chance that the Progressives may enter the field and name a third ticket, such men as Senator Borah, Governor Pinchot, Senator La Follette and others being mentioned as possibilities, although none of the men named has done more than show himself in a receptive mood if the party proved strong enough to indicate it has more than a hope it can elect its standard bearer. Lately the third party movement is beginning to crystallize around a bi-metalism platform, similar to the one Bryan ran on thirty-five years ago. This time the ratio most often spoken of is 14 to 1 instead of the famous 16 to 1 of Bryan. Silver advocates point to the fact that 800,000,000 people are now living under a silver standard and that the United States would be able to export to those countries on even terms with England and the other countries who have recently left the gold standard, or who have never adopted it. Any silver platform will not lack for financial support from the larger mines, particularly in Nevada, while Western farmers and stockmen generally believe that high prices for silver will release an enormous buying power for their products and restore prosperity to them and the rest of the country. Washington politicians are watching the silver question closely and some of them are predicting that one of the major parties may come out openly for bi-metalism. The impending visit of Premier Laval of France for the plain purpose of discussing the world depression with the President, is exciting much interest and speculation here. Laval has held similar conferences with the premiers of England and Germany and he will be able to inform Mr. Hoover exactly what is being thought and done by the Governments of the other three leading world England's department will probably be on topics, as it is a plaint that cannot be entered at a financial sacrifice United States remain standard.

The election of a Democrat as Representative from the Seventh Missouri District has tied the two major parties, numerically, in the Lower House at 214. Six other elections are to be held before Congress meets—four of them being for seats normally Republican and two Democratic. One of these seats is that of Nicholas Longworth, and the Democrats are bending every energy to defeat the Republican nominee. As the Cincinnati voters are of German extraction and like their beer, the Democrats figure they have a chance to tie the House and possibly obtain a majority, in which case Representative Garner of Texas will become Speaker. In case of a final tie, Representative Kvale of Minnesota, the Farmer-Laborite, will cast the deciding vote and will likely get a powerful chairmanship and other Congressional perquisites from one of the parties in return for his support. It is not unlikely that Representative Kvale will be more in the limelight in the coming session of Congress than any other man, or at least until the Lower House effects permanent organization. Sleeping Drivers Cause of Accidents Drivers who fell asleep at the wheel from sheer exhaustion or other causes were responsible for 238 accidents in California involving injury and death within the last seven months, says the Highway Patrol.

Thirty-nine of these accidents resulted in fatalities while 199 others resulted in injuries.
