considered too great. A good plat
form, sound of matter and smooth OF
reading, is q jewel. 1t should not be
too long. It should be quotable on
the stump. It is the spellbinder's
bible. He turns to and selects from
it "to prove or disprove," according
to necessities, anything and every
thing he encounters of value on his
rounds.
The platform making this year will
be taxing for both of the old parties.
Raw materials will be contributed In
abundance. The literary carpenters
will have their hands full. Conden-
sation will be imperative. There are
so many issues-some new, some old,
and all Of them important-that to
include all, and give to each the
proper emphasis, will test the powers
and Judgment of those whose duty it
will be to keep the dehverance IN
bounds. 1t must not be too long, it
must not be too short; and whether
long or short it should by all means
be clear and quotable.
So we may expect now some gossip
as to the fttest men for this undoubt-
edly important work. The platforms
will be closely scrutinized when of
fered, and will have to stand the
strain of a campaign of four months
duration. A chain is no stronger than
its weakest link; platform NO
stronger than its weakest plank.

raised make q strong appeal Tight
wads become liberal contributors,
while spenders become more liberal
than ever. Touch a man on his party
pride and you get him.
This year large funds-larger may
be than ever before-will be neces-
sary. Campaigning has taken on some
new and expensive features. And old
features make heavy draft, and will
have to be supported.
Then millions have been added to
the electorate The women will have
to be organized. They are very much
interested in the ballot, and prepar-
ing to go to the polls in large num-
bers in November. The cost of work
among them alone will reach high
figure. They will be liberal con-
tributors themselves to whatever funds
may be required to give them the
proper standing in militant party
forces. "'5 o., .....
But there is no warrant for charge
that either side meditates carrying
the day by corruption. The fact is
the electorate never has been bought,
and is not today for sale. Here and
there machine politicians have always
trafficked in suffrage, but never on
large or nationally decisive scale. No
presidential result has ever been OBJ
tanned by the corrupt use of money
at the polls. ,.
Those we now call bolshevists take
the other view. Their contention is
that nowadays money rules every
thing in America-nominates candi-
dates for office; controls men in Of
fee; buys court decisions; buys leg
islation; in word, does what and as
it pleases with all public tribunals.
Why not let the bolshevists have
monopoly of such talks Why appear
to support their efforts to throw dis
credit on our political life and prac-
tices9 Why say or do a single thing
that will encourage men whose prime
object is the overthrow of American
institutions, and the establishing in
their stead the hideous forces of loot
and scheming disorder7

/. Z This Years Platforms.

The platform committee at a ma
tional convention has big job on
hand, and places on it are in great re-
quest. Men of consequence seek them,
with all the influence they can com
mand, and consider themselves very
fortunate when successful.
Some men are chosen for this serv.
ice because of conspicuous powers of
expression, and nice judgment in con.
STRUNG words and phrases. They may
he described as literary carpenters
They are assigned to examining, and
putting in order when worthy, rough
materials contributed by others. Con.
tributions by themselves are not really
expected, and are seldom made.
Others are chosen because of poll
cies for which they stand They sup
ply raw materials. They are not ar
lists in forms. Of expression-in strik
ing srraHgeme4ts of words. But they
are men of ideas. and with the cour
age of them, and in action in theil
support are formidable. They are
complimented by the description OF
being "ugly customers in an argu

are full of life. There is something
doing every minute. Sometimes thu
sittings are protracted. There ar,

The Third Term.

The Presidents letter was devoted
wholly to the peace treaty. The third
term question was completely ignored.
What will be the effect on sentiment
in the democratic Iarty?
As We all know, a number of presi-
Dental booms have been held in leash
for some time. The boomces have
been waiting for tip from the White
House. Not a man of them wanted
TO antagonize the President if an
other nomination was in his mind. All
seemed to concede him the right of
way.
When the jackson day diners as
sembled at table last evening the sit
uation was such that had the Presi-
. dent in his letter taken himself out
of the equation all these booms would
have been released by wire, and a
raueous hullabaloo of national proper
tions set up. At this hour the air
would have been filled with demo-
cratic shoutings.
BUT the President gave no tip. No
boomee is the wiser today on the
third term question for reading the
Presidents letter. No boom will be
released because of last nights de-
hveranee For time at least, all
leashes will continue to hold.
No boomee is the wiser unless he
reasons in this way: If the peace
treaty as signed by the President and
submitted by him to the Senate is to
be the issue in this years campaign,
who so fit to lead the democratic
party in the contest as the Presidents
He helped draft the treaty, he signed
it, he asked its ratification, and, not
withstanding the situation in the Sen
ate, he is standing up for it.
The third term question seems to
be under consideration more from the
standpoint of Mr.. Wilson's physical
condition than from that relating to
the tradition respecting the length of
presidential service. He has been a
very sick man. But he is on the
mend now, and his physicians promise
complete restoration of strength. If
that should come about within the
next few months, Mr.. Wilson might
feel able to undertake another cam
paign.
As for the third term tradition,
there are many democrats willing to
chance it. As they argue, what is
tradition-even that traditional this
time of day? Traditions have been
going by the board of late; and not
many remain. The times are new.
Problems are new. New times and
new problems demand new means for
meeting them.
The platform upon which Mr.. Will
son stood in 1912 declared for single
term in the White House. But neither
in his speech accepting the nomina-
tions, nor in any speech made during
the campaign, did he subscribe to the
declaration. He left the matter to
time, and time decided in favor of a
second term for him. He was re-
Nominated by acelamation. Is it his
purpose to leave this matter of third
nomination to time-to the coming
six months?

SHOOTING STARS.

Where Credence Ceases.

Where Credence Ceases.
The men I've met are very few
Who would prevaricate.
I hail most anything as true
That any one may state,
Except those words that sound anew,
"I'm not a candidate" .-
The courses that men must pursue
Are much controlled by Fate;
It is a fact that very few
Can read the future straight.
So why put the announcement
through,
"1'm not a candidates"
When oratory takes its cue
On stump or by the plate,
With faith implicit I review
Whatever they relate,
Except the words of one or two,

to be the participant In the husbands
