AMERICAN PRESIDENCY

ASPIRANTS FOR DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION

WILL WILSON RUN FOR THIRD TERM? By Telegraph-Press Assooiation-Oopyrieht New York, ,]un ß 20. The San Francisco correspondent of the "New York Times" says the proposal that Mr. Baiubridge Colby (Secretary of State) shou'.d be made permanent chairman of tho Democratic Convention is considered to be a hint from Washiugton that tho Secretary of State is President Wilson's real choice for the Presidential nomination. This hint is not new. It was received some time ago, but was discounted in view of Mr. M'Adoo's availability for nomination. Mr. M'Adoo's statement that he wilt, decline to stand for nomination has strongly revived tho belief that Mr. Colby is receiving President Wilson's support.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable A6sn.
