CHAOTIC RESULTS OF
REPUBLICAN INCAPAClTY
BY Homer 5. Cummings, Chairman of
Democratic National Convention

Congress has adjourned. When
the Republican party won the election
in November 1918, upon the faith that
It would apply superior statemanship
and efficiency to public affairs, it
went into power with high hopes. An
elaborate program of reconstruction
was published in the newspapers and
the leaders of the prty We're unable to
conceal the satisfaction which they
felt in the opportunity which had
come TO them. Since that time we
have had six months of Republican
control. We have had taste of
Republican leadership. 1t is impossi-
BILE for the most ardent partisan to
point to one single constructive meas
ure which has been adopted.
The House frittered away its time in
the futile Investigations of war activi-
ties. and in the face of the issue Of the
high cost of living arranged to ad-
journ and was kept at its post and
duty only upon the insistence of the
President. The record in the Senate
is even more discreditable. The SEN
atorial leaders have broken faith with
our Allies. The American flag which
was held SO high on the fields of
France, has been trailed in the dust
by men who do not seem to under
stand what American honor requires.
America had won the moral, the
financial and the political leadership
of the world. 1t was our duty and our
opportunity to retain that leadership.
We should have been the first of the
great powers to ratify the treaty Of
peace. We should have led the way
in the reconstruction of the world.
The Senate has just completed six
months Of CHASTITY inepitude and po-
litical fioundering. 1t has occupied
six months in sterile debate and has
not yet been able to say Eyes" or no."
to the treaty.
Peace has been postponed, interna-
tional chaos still exists, the trade Of
the world is slipping away from
America, the work Of reconstruction
has not yet been taken up and Repub-
lican leaders seem only to remember
that they are Republicans. Our soldi-
ers in France gave to the world q
| picture Of generous, helpful and con-
genial and courageous America. T he
Senate has reversed the picture and
shows to the world an America selfish,
hesitating and lacking in the courage
to face its own manifest destiny.
These six months have brought incal-
cuable loss, financial, moral and econo-
mical, to America The people have
indeed, paid staggering penalty for

yearly trip to meet with the wonder
fully helpful organization.

Those Republican papers that are
boosting Governor Coolidge of Mass
achusetts for presidential nomination,
might just as well save their breath.
He doesn't stand well with Lodge,
penrose and LaFollctte, who are real
ly running the Republican show.
Chances are that Wood is the man
they have already picked out, not for
any particular ability he has shown,
but because he is safe" and available.

COOLIDGE FOR PRESIDENT
paonian

Since the Coolidge presidential boom
has been launched-or whatever il is
you call starting a boom-the prior
announcement Of Hiram and General
Wood appear superfluous. Coolidge Is
Of that aristrocracy so more or less
brilliantly represented in the Senate
by Henry Cabot Lodge, whose near
kin were targets Of the toast: Here's
to good old Boston, home of the bean
and the cod. where the Cabots speak
only TO Lowells, and the Lowells
speak only to God" His maneuv-
ering on the field of action during the
peace treaty battle would indicate
that at the proper time the Honorable
Lodge will proclaim Coolidge the Re
publican nominee and that will be all
there is to it-so far as the nomina-
tion is concerned.
