Elk in Pine Bluff considers him. self in that class; consequently there is much heart-burning among the "antlered herd." Ziba Bennett declares he is the one to lead the parade, much to the disgust of Sam Vaulx, who also aspires to lead this magnificent pagent. In fact, there has so much feeling arisen in the lodge over the mat ter it may be necessary to have committee of young ladies pass on the claims of manly beauty by the members of the lodge. It is thought by some that Henry Ber- hath is prepared to bribe mem- bers of the "jury of awards" by presents of candy and flowers. The parade will appear on the streets on Monday at noon and you can form your own conclusion as to who should really lead that parade.

He is placed with the conservative
element of the party, but is not re-

death Senator Borah has beer quoted
as being favorable to Harding. The
Senator from Ohio doomed as a ma
tional figure in 1916 when he was
made permanent chairman of the Re-
publican National Convention. His
keynote address was careful analysis
of the issues of the campaign rather
than a stump speech calculated to win
him immediate fame.
Republican leaders favorable to
Hughes point to the Cleveland prece-
dents as ample ground for his second
nomination. The name of Hiram
Johnson as the second man on such
a ticket is heard here, but not from
the real leaders of the party, however
mindful they may be of the winning

Roosevelt. 1t is well known that all
other ambitions were predicated on
what T. r. would do, and while it was
held by the Colonels close friends

Going away from Capitol Hill, two
men stand forth as spokesman and
potential party leaders. They are
Charles f. Hughes and William H.
Taft. The popularity OF both Of these
men Increased by leaps and bounds
during the war Mr. Taft was called
to perform an important task as head
Of the national war labor board, and
he handled his war work in a manner
that won the admiration of every fac
ton of the industrial life which came
before him. Mr.. Hughes entered upon
the difficult investigation of the air
craft failure at a time when that
question threatened to become one Of
the biggest political issues of prospec-
tive campaigns. Without political
bias entering into a single page of
his report, he gave the country a
calm, judicial analysis of the trouble
and put the blame where he showed it
belonged
Mr.. Taft, through his writings in the
PUBLIC LEDGER, has come more and
more to be considered in the official life
of Washington a conservative spokes-
man of the Republican party. His
words are featured in every impor-
tant discussion in the Capitol, and his
views are accorded careful scrutiny by
Of Of
Iitical utilization.
There is a very decided impression
among leaders in Washington that Mr..
Hughes will become stronger in future
months, and the possibility that he
again will be the standard bearer of
his party is not at all remote.

Of individuals and corporations, q step
which later deve Opments proved
would have meant industrial disturb

Senator Johnson naturally has a fol-
lowing among the Republicans who
never have become reconciled to the
control of the men who forced the
nomination of Taft. He represents,
in measure, the thought of many
men, but it is doubtful here that he
could muster strength il opposition
to his own party as did Roosevelt, nor
could he control the so-Called progress
sive element to the extent of over
riding the conservatives on a test OF
power Senator Johnson, it must be
clearly understood, counts himself a
regular Republican as distinguished
from the ultra-radical element which
clings to the title of Progressive
spelled with a capital. He doubtless
realizes that the Progressive party
was created by Roosevelt in 1912 for
the same reason that it was destroyed
in 1916-to defeat the administration
in power.

Congressional Highlights

Associated with Lodge in Congress
are Penrose, of Pennsylvania; Smoot,
of Utah; Fall, of Me- Mexico, and
Watson, of Indiana. These men are
conservatives. Their opponents style
them the Old Guard, but they repre-
sent the policies of their party and
a majority of the American voters who
have yet to be converted to the radical
thought which has controlled much
of the legislation in recent years.
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania,
ranks next to Lodge as a spokesman
on affairs of state, but he does not
assume active participation in the
routine business of the Senate. When
he speaks, his talks concern interna
tional policy.
Several men of wide eXperienC and
prominence will have seats on the
Republican side of the Senate in the
next Congress. Among them are
Medill Mccormick, of Illinois, pro-
Gressive; Edge, Of New Jersey; Cap
per, Of Kansas, and Newberry, OF
Michigan, unless F'ord's contest is sue
ce5stul. 1t is entirely speculative to
state the part these men may eXer,
in the Senate
On the House side, James r. Mann,
OF Illinois, and julius Kahn, of Cali
fornla' are national figures and able
leaders in their sphere, but their views
do not carry the weight of Lodge.
There is little reason to believe that
Mann will not ba tho ,ax+ SNEAKER of
the House. He has earned the honor
through long and faithful service, and
such opposition as develops is re-
