cued the nation from Republican mis-
rule and kept the country at peace
amid distracting aisrule on all sides.
How could a partisan speaker satisfy
a partisan convention without offend
ing a universal sense of justice? The
task was an impossible one.
The delegates had gathered to plan
for the Countrys return to bondage
to the interests, and Senator Harding
would have disappointed the delegates
if he had conceded to the Democratic
administration any merit whatever
He did not d.aappoint them. On the
contrary he lived up to the highest
requirements of partisanship and ey
tolled the Republican record rs flaw
lass and pictured the Democratic rec
ord as a menace TO prosperity AZ
home and peace abroad.
His declarations on the subject Of
preparedness were sufficiently euphat-
tc to arouse ali the fears that have
been assi1rousIv cultivated by the
manufacturers Of mdria5us, and yet
were not definite enough to inform
the taxpayers Of the burdens which
the jingoes have in store for them.
Common Ground on Tariff.
1t was not, however, until he
reached the tariff question that he
left out all the sails He IS a believer
in protection for projections sake
and he knows that protection is the
issue on which the standpat Repub-
licans and the Progressives were most
nearly in agreement. They rival each
other in devotion to the theory that
tax is a blessing when collected
through the custOmhouse.
If the subject was a chilling one
for impassioned eloquence, the occa-
sion was no more encouraging. The
delegates were not here to outline any
constructive work; they had planned
nothing from the experience through
which they had passed.
They based their hopes of success
upon a reunion of the two elements
of the party, and felt confident that
this reunion could be effected with
out commencing any Of the reforms
accomplished by the Democratic party
or pledging the Republican party to
any remedial legislation.

singing and parading that lasted more
than an hour and a half
1t is some months since the Repub-
lican leaders conceived the idea Of
tying the protective system to the
army and navy. 1t will be remembered
that Congressman Mann included in
dustrial preparedness in the qualified
Endorsement which he gave the admin
istration's program. Protection was
looking for a crutch, and it YES quick
to avail itself of the support offered
by the preparedness propaganda.
1t was very easy for a high-tariff ad-
vocate to support a policy requiring
larger appropriations because larger
appropriations compel larger tax lev
les. Regulars and Progressives alike
recommend a tariff as a source from
which to draw increased revenues.
They defend taxes upon consumption
on the ground that they are felt less
than by direct taxes. 1t is the old
defense, viz: that by means of it more
feathers can be obtained from the
goose without squawking.

But the subject and the occasion
restoration of the Republican party
to power and there is no inspira-
ton in such a subject to bring forth
an epOch-making speech. The Repub-
ican party was put out of power be-
cause it had been guilty of high crimes
and misdemeanors. 1t had converted
popular government into a predatory
oligarchy; it had betrayed the people
and given them over to spoliation at
the hands of the special interests. Fa-
vor seeking corporations had been per-
mitted to take control of the instru-
mentalities of government and employ
them for private enrichment.
The injustice finally became so
rank and the swollen fortunes so
conspicuous that a large portion Of
the Republican party revolted.
More than half of the Republicans
had the independence to leave the or.
ganization and, by boiling, they ex-
pressed their determination to rid the
party of corporate domination. even
If it We're necessary to pass through

Republican ranks the Democratic
party came into power, and proceeded
to put into law a reform program

The two conventions in session in
Chicago were vastly different bodies
as anyone discovered who attended
them. The delegates to both conven-
tons called themselves Republicans;
they spoke in the same spirit of rev
crence Of the history and traditions
Of the party.and they now look for
ward with equal hope and faith to the
Republican party of the future, but
they were as different in the spirit
which animated them as if the dele
gates lived in different worlds and had
nothing in the past or future to link
them together.

was a cut and dried affair Everything
moved like c'ocGwork. and q stately
