The Presidential Candidates,

It may be interesting to the read
crs of the TIMES to know Just exact
" how the boomers of the different
candidates are booming their favor
ties and the arguments they are
using to convince the people that
their man is the man to nominate,
Among the Democratic candidates,
the Wilson boomers are boosting
their man as the scholar in politics;
the fact that he redeemed the State
Of New Jersey and made it u Demo-
cratic State and his record as Gov
ernor and the speeches that he has
made all over the country since his
election to that high Office, being the
first political position he ever filled,
They also claim that Wilson is a
progressive Democrat OF the pro-
gressives and that he will draw very
largely from the progressive Repub.
lican vote in the coming election if
nominated,
The Harmon people are making
much Of the fact that their candi-
date has redeemed the state Of Ohio,
rock.rbbed Republican State here
tororc having twice been elected
Governor for that great state,
They claim that he has saved the
taxpayers Of Ohio not less than
S25,OOO,OOO since he has been Gov
crnor by increasing the tax rate of
corporations and compelling the
railroads and others to pay their
portion of the taxes, which they
have hitherto been dodglug, They
claim that he is conservative and
will appeal to the conservative Gle.
mcnt Of the business men Of the
country and, therefore make the
most eligible candidate the Demo-
Gratis could name
The Underwood boomers are say
ing the same thing about their can
didatc, that is, that he is u sane and
safe conservative and would not
run Rmuck to disturb the business
interests of the country; that he has
had great experience as Il legislator
and would make an ideal Executive,
Furthermore, they claim that com.
ing from the South, he would ces
ment all sections of the country and
that Northern Democrats would
vote for him in order to show that
all sectional feeling had been abund.
oncd and elect him on his merits as
constructive statesman and a man
who has been formidable factor
10 welding the party together in the
present Congress
The Clark boomers are simply
urging their candidate upon his rec.
ord in public life and claiming that
that record is simply the record of
the Democratic party since lsSS
when he first entered public life,
They say that he has neither swcry.
ed to the right nor the left but
has been Just an old fashioned Dem.
orrat, who has aided with voice and
pen in every Democratic campaign
that has been fought in the last
twenty-five years and has never
