THE NOMINATION OF HARDING

Upon a platform that has pro-
duced general dissatisfaction,
the Chicago convention presents
candidate whose nomination
will be received with astonish-
ment and dismay by the party
whose suffrages he invites. War
rem G. Harding is a very respec-
table Ohio politician of inc Sec
ond class. He has never been a
'eader of men or a director OF
,olicies. For years protege OF
foraker, he rose to a subordinate
Office by favor of BOSS" Cox Of
Cincinnati. Beaten by Judson
Harmon in the contest for the
Governorship in 1910, ne has
never shown independent
strength in his own State save
when he was named for Senator
in 1914, having a majority of a
little more than 1907 900 over his
Democratic competitor; and out
side Of Ohio he has only such
strength as he now derives from
his place at the head of the Re-
publican ticket. Senator Hard
ing's record at Washington has
been faint and colorless. He
was an undistinguished
and indistinguishable unit
in the ruck Of Republi-
can Senators who obediently fol-
lowed Mr.. Lodge in the twistings
and turnings Of that statesman's
foray upon the Treaty and the
Covenant.
The nomination Of Harding,
for whose counterpart we must
90 back to Franklin Pierce if we
would seek a President who
measures down to his political
stature, is the fine and perfect
flower Of the cowardice and
imbecility Of the Senatorial cabal

that charged itself with the
management of the Republican
Convention, against whose con-
troll Governor Beeckman so vehe-
mently protested. Rejecting
Leonard Wood, probably the
strongest candidate with the
people the pa ty could have
chosen, because they knew he
would never be dictated to by
them, they favored Governor
Lowden until Borah served upon
them his notice of a veto OF that
nomination. Borah was COM
handing and truculent because
he knew that he had to deal with
a group of white-livered and in
competent politicians. If Re-
publican leadership had not fallen
into the hands of pigmies the
chief men at Chicago would have
told Borah to bolt and be hanged
just as upon the issue of the
League they would have defied
Johnson to do his worst. But
they ran like a frightened flock,
surrendered everything, Mr..
Lodge finally throwinA off all
DISCUSSES and standing out as
the open foe of the Covenant of
the League ofNations, even with
his own reservations.
What has befallen the Republi-
can Party of the early days, the
party of sixty years ago, when
it was possessed of moral pur-
poses, or of forty and thirty
years ago, when it could still pro-
fess to have them and find be-
levers.
Where are its leaders that can
be compared to Morrill,, Seward,
Hale, Platt of Connecticut,
lOliyer P. Morton, Sumner,
Blaine, Conkling and a dozen
others who rose to high places in
the party councils? And if the
question be not to unfeeling,
where and what are its principles
if any it have? Party control,
exercised by a group of Senators
is divided between Lodge on the
one hand and Borah and johnson
on the other. None of them,
none of their accomplices in
party degradation, would nave
come within hailing distance of
the foremost rank of party
chiefs in the brilliant days of
Republicanism. And for prin-
ciples, they have only hatred of
Mr.. Wilson and a ravening hun
ger for the Offices.
Governor Coolidge for Vice
President really shines by COM
parison with the head of the
ticket. He at least is a man of
achievement, he is known to the
party and to the nation. When
the police force of Boston went
on strike he showed himself to
be a man. He met that menace
to the public safety with courage
and determination, and the ma
ton rang with praise of him. 1t
is fortunate that not a word is to
be said against the character Of
either candidate. They are ire
proachable. But that does not
compensate for the lack of
achievement, for the colorless-
ness of the candidate for first
place, or for the manner in
which his nomination vas
brought about. 1t will h lelt and
said everywhere. that the Democ-
rats at San Francisco have re-
ceived from their opponents at
Chicago .ae gift of a splendid
opportunity. New York Times.
