Appreciation

Washington, Sept. II. - Amid
roar of welcome. General Pershing
led the First Division of the Ameri-
can EXpeditionary Forces up Penn
sylvania avenue to-day to receive
the nations homage.
1t was the last grand review OF
the wartime Armies, the victory
parade, the last chance for the hun
dreds of thousands of men. women
and children jammed along the route
to voice appreciation of the valor
and daring of that Army ana they
made the most of it.
The procession reached it's climax
as the man who captained all the
fighting forces of the nation in the
great struggle, passed through the
victory arch toward the reviewing
stand, where vice-president Marshall
stood, representing President Wilson
to receive the generals salute. Be-
hind him the picked thousands OF
the composite regiment "Pershings
own" formed a wall of bronzed faces
as they swung into line with ma
chine-like precision.
Groomed to Perfection
From the general himself to the
last man of the tank battalion that
brought up the rear Of the march
ing column in perfect fighting ma
chine, a shock division of the Ameri-
can Army in the war, was groomed
to regular Army perfection. Men,
horses, guns and machines, to the
last buckle and the final touch of
paint, were completely equipped and
spotless, for inspection. There was
no need of war-worn gear to tell of
their deeds. The CLEAN of gold chew
rons on every arm, the ribbons of
decorations for valor on their collars
and breasts, the marks that spoke
OF wounds received that were
sprinkled through the whole COM
mand, and above all the proud
knowledge in the hearts of the thou
sands that cheered them, made that
unnecessary.

An Organization Victory

The effort of the so-caled 'Inde-
pendents" on the Republican side
was in effect an attempt to wrest
the party control from the hands OF
the younger element and replace 1t
by a leadership in which some of
those prominent in the affairs of the
organization before the advent of
Lieutenant G overnor Beidleman and
his friends as leaders in party affairs
here, were to be the controlling
factors. This was plainly evident at
the polls yesterday. The issue was
squarely met by Mr.. Beidleman and
w. Harry Baker as chairman of the
candidates committee who came out
in the newspa pers with a list of can
didates for whom they stood sponsor,
every one of whom was nominated
yesterday.
The victory for the organization
was complete in every respect and
the endorsement by the voters of the
men put forward by the organization
was due in very large degree to the
fact that the organization as at pre-
sent constituted has at no time given
its support to a candidate who has
not made good in public office. The
most determined effort of the "Inde-
pendents' failed to shake the pub
lies confidence in the organization S
sincerity, and even in the home dis
tricts of some of the independent
candidates the organization slate
won out by handsome majorities.
Before the returns were all in, but
when it became apparent as to what
the results would be Lieutenant-Gov-
crnor Beidleman, Mr.. Baker and
their lieutenants were beset by Re-
publican workers and others offer
ing their congratulations. The Re-
publican ticket named yesterday
goes to the primaries practically
certain of election by large major
tiles, many Democratic leaders ad-
mitting to-day that their party in
both city and county is simply a
shell which will be held together
this compaign in order to be in
shape TO elect delegates to the ma
tonal convention next spring.
Good Men Named
Charles G.. Cumbler and Henry
NJ. Slime, who have made an excel
lent record in the county commits
sioners' office, were renominated by
the Republicans by decisive majori-
ties, their reaSsessment of coal lands
in the upper end being a big card
in their favor. Captain Stine's Army
record also told in the returns and
he leads the field by gratifying
margin. Both are good men and are
widely known. They will have as
their opponents Howard o. Holstein
candidate for lieutenant governor
last year, and ex-Sheriff Harry G,
Wells. who is the present minority
commissioner. 1t is evident that
only one of these two can be elect
ed and it is expected that Wells will
receive organization support as Hol-
stein was opposed by Mccormick
when he ran for the second office in
the gift of the State in 1918. Wells
also has been somewhat of an in
dependent in his refusal to take or
ders from headquarters and the
likelihood is that the whole Demo
cratic campaign will revolve around
a bitter personal fight between these
