And after all. so engrossed were
they in their internal ailments,
the republicans forgot to raise any
issue against the administration they
seek to supplant,
No issue is raised by the platform,
which ~soft-pedals on the possible IS
sues Roosevelt sought to RAISE.
No issue is raised by the candidate,
whose chief commentator as a candl-
date next to his non-ottensive silence
was that that he was as near a color
able imitation of Wilson as the re
publicans could find.
Americanism" Though the repub-
!ican platform speaks softly even on
that, does anybody seriously believe
that this Republic is in any such hope
less state that it is possible to divide
it on that as a political issue? Will
son is American to the core, koose-
Welt is American to the core, all are
Americans to the core except a few
professional hyphenates VINO have
grossly misjudged America and thelr
position in America.
Preparedness? When the present
congress has adjourned that issue will
be dead. for it will have provided for
every man and ship and gun and dol
lar of Expenditures that the country vii.
stand for.
Tariff? Both parties are agreed
that the tariff ought to be taken out
of politics and put into the hands OF a
permanent board of experts, II the
democratic administration is going to
do that very thing.
Prosperity? For the first time
in a generation, the republican party
and its platform and candidates are
silent on prosperity, because tbs
country under a democratic admins
tration is rolling in the riches of the
greatest wave of prosperity it ha:
ever known, thus d%ynamiting forever
the old superstition that the repub'
lican party had a secret patent OF
prosperity.
Finance? There is no word in the
republican platform nor from the re
publican candidate on finance, because
thanks to the indon liable energy anC
obstructive craftsmanship OF lre5lden
Wilson, the country has lately wit
messed an amazing demonstration o

Foreign policies? The republican
have not and cannot seriously c~riticiz

rope that has kept Us at peace wit
the world and retained the friendshi
of ti.e maddened nations now at wal
and they dare not propose the onl

There is no issue.
