In fact the whole moral tone of the country will have been lowered.
 Just a lapse from honor, trust. confidence. No crlme at all. .Yet worse than many crimes. "A I---hc office is a pubic trust"
 But to change abruptly fross a pro per view Of pubic officials and q proper standard for all mems con- duct to the low plane of what is oen. cd practical politics. What a chance the republicans missed to sweep th. country. This little play could have been staged by few New York brokers and bankers with perfect e'lse d month before election. 1t would nave cost only a htlle money for the scenery and properties. A small por- tion of the republican campaign luna would hs.ve paid all bills. The same greed that animated the spIggot guL- zlers in the recent leak could have ben appe; led to just us well before eloctIon. The rapubl.cans in the house could have raised ther same ulroar and the effect on the country soulu have been the same. Wills )n. without having aoae a thing wrong, would new be a defeated and chag- rined m;,n and Hughes would have been the triumphant president -elect. Verify. :rifies may be sometimes mo- mtrtous, A handshake, smile and a promise from Hughes to Johnson wculd have won California. A little lapse in hoaor, rectitude. loyalty on the part of some of his private and official family has cast shadow over the president. He has done nothing wrong, such a thing has not been even hinted. except by the boor- ,1h, yet he liae been hurt, injured al- most immeasurably, as the future will most likely show.

Il is easy enough to see how the presIueuLlal eleoucn could have been wen now that It Is all over. Any body caa See that MT. Hugno. couid have csAIrIed the Imperal s..s or CaA1ornIa by the simple and agree atle expedlent ot beng nlce to hiram Johnson. Il seems that the progress slve senator-elect had about quar- ter Of d mllllon of votes which may well be termed super republican tucked away ln hls vest pocket They We're ms, u be Cast at h4s DoheSt. A rroper recognition on the part of Mir. bugnes ot IhIs progressive republican vote Of which hiram Johnson was at once the representative and the cus- torian, and Mr. Hughes would have been president -elect today, or words tU that effect.
 All of winch Is beside the question except in so far as 1t leads to the question of influencing the proletariat al the polls. What a lesson has been unrolled before our eyes in the last few days In practical politics. Just the little leak from the White House. The presidents brother-in- law, ms son-in-l law. mad his private secretary, all implicated in stock jobblng sCaauaL Not only that but the Tex an chairman of the rules committee is m4x>d up Tn the mess along with many others not yet identified but whose name is said to be legion.
 There Is doubtless a lot of rotten officials and Wall street in thIs bless ed democratic administration just IS there was during the long republican regime. The only difference between the two is that the republicans were smarter regues and covered thelr tracks beyond all hope of any trailer like Lawson smelling them out In the Cleveland administration, if you remember, there were the Benedict rumors, anu the gold retention scan d9ls. The democrats really do not have enough practice at the pubic pie counter to enable them to learn tho proper etiequette and finesse. They really ough to have more chance to learn to play the game deftly anu without being charged by bys,anders with gummIng the cards.
 As il IS. so far us the charges 80. it is merely alleged that some of the presidents famly have made some money In Wall street because of something they happened to know be- fcre the sharks of the stock market learned of 1t.
