fifth, "ever since L read of how he ham
died the Boston police strike. he

this Harding. but the leaders would
never have picked him unless he

Coolidge Is that skinny guy what

from New Jersey. Remember how
he grinned at Nick when they shook
hands,"

him. too" rejoined Jim Shaw, OF

"This paper here says that Harding

tries that have been admitted to the
League have Constitutions. All of
them in performing their obligations
are subject to the limitations of their
Constitutions, fact known to every
one of them.
"Great Britain is member of the
League. Does Senator Harding think
"a superb Government" could order
Great Britain to go to war without
the consent of Parliament? France is
member of the League. Does the
Senator think that the League could
order France to go to war without
the consent of the Chamber of Depu-
ties? In what respect is the United
States on any different basis?
"This whole issue of "super-govern-
ment" that Senator Harding puts
forth is sheer demagogy and is known
to be demagogy by the candidate him
self: for it is inconceivable that even
United States Senator could be so
ignorant of constitutional government
as Senator Harding pretends to be in
his speeches.

RI Senator Gore, anti-Wilson, had
been renominated in the democratic
nr4maries of Oklahoma and II Judge
Priest. backed by Senator Reed, had
been successful, in the democratic
nrimaries of Missouri, the rebuke to
the president by the democratic vot-
ers of those states would have been
the subject of general comment.
Mr.. Gore. however, is decisivcly de-
feated by a Wilson democrat ana

Missouri two of the three democratic
senatorial candidates took Wilson's
position on the league Of natlons. sc
that the aggregate Wilson majority
over Reeds position was as decisive
as was the verdict against Senator
Gore.
The above leads the Springfield Re-
publican to make the following caustic
observations:
"Gov. Cox cannot fail to be influ-
enced and even guided by these tests
of popular opinion within the demo-
cratic party. The president is still
the greatest single force in the party,
and the democratic campaign this
year cannot be successfully managed
IL that fact be ignored.
1.-THE republican view that Wilson
and wisconsin are a severe handicap
upon the democratic ticket-a source
of boundless weakness-may be true;
IL it is true, nothing can save Cox and
Roosevelt. Yet the democratic cam
paign cannot be run on any such
assumption. II it were, the bottom
would drop out in a week and Mr..
Harding would not need even to show

SOUTH, MIDDLE AND WEST FLOR
IDA

Good Bob Davis, Of the Gainesville
Sun, is always saying something
praiseworthy and substantial. For an
example we copy the following:
Florida. to our mind, is the most
attractive state in the union. II is
the best all the year round state to
dwell in. One part of the state leads
in agriculture. another in fruits, an.
other in phosphate and kaolin and
still another in attractiveness for
tourists. 1t is the blending of all
these that makes Florida grow In
prosperity. We could not well afford
to give up any one of these features
Yet there Is regretable jealousy

papers are never quite happy unless
they are poking little fun at Middle
ana West Florida. They say we are
slow and nonprogressive. The fact
is. as we see it. Middle and West Flor.

tial way. 1t may look a little slow to
our South and East Florida friends
ana maybe it is a little slow. But
1t is substantial.

We read it through with increasing
interest in every paragraph, and it is
the best speech we have read in many

magnetic language the lines upon the

the ring of victory in it. There was
nothing defensive about it: it was Of

Being an honest man, William How.
ard Taft does not make a conspicuous
success of his argument intended to
show why Republican favoring the
League of Nations should vote his
party ticket straight. An INSCRIPTIONS
lawyer, long accustomed to the de.
tense of crooked clients, would have
done better. The sum of the ex-Presi.
dents reasoning is to be found in this
sentence: "If Mr.. Harding has given
US who desire the League, with or
without reservations, no real ground
for hope, Mr.. Cox has promised the
impossible" Which is to say that a
candidate who promises nothing is
preferable to one who promises much,
or that man who refuses to make an
attempt in the right direction is su-
perior to one whose ambition is
thought to exceed his power of fulfil
ment.-World

all, while we are going too slow those

contrast is not confined to these coun-

that we of middle and west sections

ROOSEVELT VISITS THE sLuMs

After his return from the San Fran
cisco convention having received the
vice-presidential nomination, Mr..
Franklin d. Roosevelt, after respond
ing to a speech of welcome in his
home town, visited the slums in New
York, says the Christian Herald, and
preached to the men in the Bowery.
That paper says:
"Mr. Roosevelt was only one of a
long line of distinguished men, includ-
ing presidents and cabinet members,
who have gone to the Bowery Mission
to get acquainted with New York East
Side, but it is safe to say that not one
of them received a warmer welcome
or made more friends for himself
than the young candidate for the vice
presidency. The mission was crowd
ed to the doors when DR.. Halimond,
the superintendent, introduced him
and for half an hour Mr. Roosevelt
spoke on Americanism, pride in COM
munity and the greatness of the coun-
try. In financial terms, he declared
himself "a bull on the United States"
and he found every man in the mission
with him for of itself the mission is
doing a real constructive work in
Americanization.''

know that the democratic vice presi-
Dental nominee is deeply pious.

AN UNPARALLELED RECORD

For nearly two years the Republi.
cans have had control of the House
and the Senate. During that period
they have centered their fire without
intermission on the record of the Viii
SON administration in the war, and
there have been at least ninety Con.
gressional Investigations by republic
can committees. Nothing was re
vealed," as Gov. Cox said in his speech
of acceptance, ''in that vast enter
prise, carrying billions of dollars in
expense, upon which they could base
even a whisper of dishonesty"
This being true, why may we ask
should not the republicans be driven
With whip cords from the house and
senate as unworthy servants as the
roney changers were driven from the
temple, and the democratic party be
given a continuous and long lease OF
power.
Why?
Because with marvellous quickness
unparalleled in history it won the great

Tennessee has proven herself
