APLEA TO CORRECT mistake"
OF The THREATENED BREAK over
MCCALL AND GUSHING CONTEST

Though Republican prospects are exceed
ingly bright in this year before the pres
idential contest, they do not look to US
bright enough to stand an internal con-
test with the elimination of Senator
Lodge as a preliminary. Massachusetts
has rarely contributed to the public Me
of the nation man Of greater light and
leading. and the sooner the Mccall
headquarters make clear to the elector-
ate that they are not provoking any fight
on the senator the better. we believe, 1t
will be all around.
'In saying this. we see no defence for
Capt. Gardeners recent statement or for
much which Mr.. Cushing has allowed
himself to say. The latter's allusion to
Senator Crane some weeks ago was pecu.
liarly unjust and ill-considered. and Sen
ator Lodge FASTENED to tell him 50. But
do not condone similar errors on the 9th.
er side. The Transcript. incidentally.
gives the disputants some advice so al
together excellent that we reproduce It In
the next column this morning.

What Does This Mean.

''If the Mccall Headquarters have de-
cided to make war on Mr.. Lodge they
are making great mistake, ana one
which we hope will be corrected. before pre-
it is too late. Mr.. Lodge was tn the . h1se
to come out for McCall's denomination.
Mr. Lodge did this in the face OF irlenos
of Mr. Cushing who knew OF ms intsn,
ton to make the race. This was dou 3o1;
when support meant friendship. Mr.
Gushing stood with Lodge, first. last ana
all the time Yet Lodge came out THIS
year for Mccall with energy ana en-
thusiasm, and in the tact OF Aho"h
contest.
I'VE believe Mr.. Lodge never had any
other intention than to vote Tor mccall
in the primaries of Sept: "a. Is rloic-
ulous, in view Of the dinerent tempera-
ments of the senator ana ms us sou son rras,m,
to the action Of the other. Gardners
reasons for being with Cushing are easily
understood. One was the others Eam.
paign manager two years ago. Iney
over the leadership behind the Mccall
candidacy today, Capt. Gardner has for
some time been unenthuslastac: II was
perfectly natural that he should be Tor
Cushing. but why should anybody have
assumed that this carried with 1t the sup
mort of Lodge? Had the two men not
been on opposite sides more than once IN
the past?
III the Mccall headquarters persist in
that attitude toward Senator Lodse; Q.
night was symptomatic. 1t 10 easy to see
what it means for the Republican party
in Massachusetts: It signihes an anti
Lodge candidacy for n the Hep1Dn vsa ns ana
while this would almost surely be un-
successful, 1t could do much to endanger
Republican ,succsss on election day.

Threats already have been coming in

Then there is the threatened complete
bolt OF the Y. NJ. c. A. organfzat tions.
With many thousands of athletes en-
rolled throughout the country, and with
far greater membership than the A.
A. u, the ''Y'' heads feel that they can
ignore the A. A. u.
And they can. Like the intercollegiate
Athletic Association, the Y. NJ. c. A. is
too big a proposition for the A. A. U. to
handle.
What puny thing the A. A. U.
amounts to by comparison is shown by
the fact that in the entire Western dis
trict,. which includes Missouri, Kansas.
Oklahoma, and parts of Illinois and Ken
lucky, only nineteen clubs are members.
Every Y II. c. A. in almost every
hamlet throughout this district has some
form of athletic endeavor.
Instead of fighting the discordant ele-
ments. the A. A. l.. will soon have to
palliate these factors. Its only hold on
the country now is through its sectional
and national championships. the glamor
of which still lures most of the promi-
nent club and college men to show al
legiance where it's possible.
