THOMPSON AND HARDWICK.

William Hale Thompson of Illinois
and Thomas W Hardwick of Georgia,
one y Republican and the other Demo-
crat. are conspicuous examples Of the
small political element in the United
States which has been out OF sympathy
from the first with national interests and
aspirations as affected by the war When
not going 10 extremes of pacilism and
on a few occasions to something closely
resembling Germanism, they have de-
lighted In obstruction, in legal hair-split-
ting, In utterances bordering upon dis
loyalty and in subordinating what should
have been their patriotism TO what was
known to be their cheap politics.
1t is not creditable to Illinois and
Georgia that such men, Mr.. Thompson,
the present Mayor of Chicago, and Mr.
Hardwick, already a member of the
United States Senate, could find enough
support to give them formidable strength
III the primaries as candidates for the
Senate, but the humping defeat which
both sustained will do much TO remove
the stigma SO long grievously borne by
two great Commonwealths. Political as
welr as military slackers are bound TO be
rounded up, but it will take time.
As for Chicago, the plurality which
II gave to Mr. Thompson must be ascribed
10 the activity of a well-disciplined spoils
organization On a full vote of the
people no Thompson will carry that
town for the white feather.
lii the case Of Hardwick, President
Wilson made personal issue of his candi-
dacy, as he did with Vardaman $ candi-
dacy in Mississippi, and the repudiation
OF Hardwick IS even more emphatic
that the repudiation of Vardman. New
ork World.
