Excitement Far Leas Than Four Years
Ago, for Few Candidates for Presi-
dential 'Nomination Have Headquar-

By GEORGE CLINTON.
Washington.—There are signs of
spring In Washington, marked signs
of various kinds. The advance guard
of migratory birds has come up the
Potomac valley; the big black birds,
purple grapkles, tbe scientists call
them, are stalking across the White
Houbo grounds; tbe hepatlcas are
peeping from the ground along the
bl*iTs In Rock Creek park; the for-
sythla Is bursting Into bloom In tbe
gardens: tbe crocuses are everywhere,
and every other day there Is a balm
in the air which is the forerunner o(
a heat which before long will set the
asphalt boiling on Pennsylvania ave
nue.
So much for tbe signs of nature’s
spring. There is another sign of
spring, however, which Is mofe inter
esting to the politicians In Washing
ton than the blooming of flowers and
the returu of the birds, it may be
called the primary sign of spring, for
the awakened interest is in the presl
dentlat primaries throughout the coun-
try- ‘ .,
Four years ago Washington pol-
iticians did not have to wait until the
springtime for plenty of excitement
and interest specittcally political In
character. In February, March and
April, 1912, there was a political pot
boiling near everyone o( tbe principal
street corners in the downtown district
of this capital city.
Lively Spring of 1912.
In 1912 every Republican and Dem-
ocratic candidate for the presidency
bad his headquarters open in this city,
and the campaign in Its intensity, anx-
iety and interest was like the cam-
paign throughout tbe country In the
late October days of a presidential
year. Four years ago the tight for the
nomination was on between William
Howard Taft, who then was president.
