REPUBLICAN, DOODLE

The New York Sun has sent aTeporter out to visit some OF
the doubtful states and write about the trend OF the country toward
Repubicanism.
One OF the states visited was Kentucky. We take it that the
article about Kentucky is fairly representative. lie gives twelve
reasons for the turn of the tide that will sweep the Republicans
in~totpower, and the greatest OF these is the twelfth, which is;
"The possession by the Republican machine in Kentucky Of
more money than all preceding Republican organizations in the
states history could muster in combination
kentucky in the past has provided ample opportunity Tor the
use Of Doodle. As the battle-ground between leaders within the
parties and between the parties themselves, and more recently
between the liquor and antliquor forces, where about the final
contest was staged, it is going strong to say that the Republicans
are going to have more money for the next campaign than they
have had in all campaigns put together in the past,
The Sun interprets the prospect for victory, as its representa-
tive sees ii, to the dislike Tor the Wilson administration, and lack
of faith in the league of nations. The only deduction the Sun
leaves us TO make in favor OF our Kentucky ~neighbors is that il
they thought a little better Of the Democratic administration and
the league of nations they would not consent to sell out at all, but
our own observation is that the man who will sell his vote ON
one condition will sell it Just as willingly on any other, and that
the price and not sentiment will be the controlling factor in his
conduct.
lit is true, as the Sun suggests, that the party with the big
gest amount of Doodle will carry the election, the Republicans
have a right to feel confident of victory.
The bulk, it not all, OF the money that will be used in the next
campaign to corrupt the elections will come from the East, 1t
will come from the profneers, who have a very definite purpose
in supporting the Republican ticket. They are practical business
they are especially resentful of the taxes the government is assess
ing against their eXorbitant profits,
What the Sun says the Republicans are doing in Kentucky
may be taken as fairly representative of what will be attempted
elsewhere. Perhaps we may even anticipate that a wave Of pros
perny will sweep over the rockribbed state Of Tennessee. il there
is enough Doodle to 60 around, and the Republicans don't mind
taking a chance on losing it, as they have done so often before.
