Is the presidency for sale? This
becomes q pertinent question in
view Of the revelations of large
sums expended in the interest of
various gentlemen seeking the Re-
publican nomination. More than
half million, possibly q million
dollars, have been spent in the
primary candidacy Of General
Wood. Lowden's expenditures In
the REORGANIZATION contest total
over 100000 The virtuous Hi
ram Johnson's candidacy has cost
his friends probably at least $780,
600, Hiram's noise making up in a

AS compared with the Republi-
can aspirants, Democratic candi-
dates are small fry financ lally
indeed. The expenditures Of most
Of them range from nothing up to
figure that campaign managers
cf the leading Republican eandi-
dates would regard as small
change. The sarcastic inference
of Chairman Kenyon that the
Democratic nomination is not re-
garded as worth spending any
money for heightens the suspicion
that the Republicans are convinc-
ed the presidency is for sale. II
it Is, no doubt they have the mon
ely to buy it. If half a million or a
million dollars flows into a candi-
dates campaign treasury before
nomination, what Is the limit to be
in the election? VIII there be a
limit? Will a hundred million
dollars be too much for the 'inter-
ests' TO raise that are determined
to control the executive depart
ment Of the government? And for
what purpose is the presidency to
be bought that mlllionares are
willing to pour out staggering
fortunes to clinch the bargain
These are questions that
thoughtfup and patriotic citizens
will do we'll to ponder seriously.
They are question fraught with
dire portent for the nation. Is the
presidency for sale? II it is, what
will be the fate Of free govern
ment? Think it over.

course, a loan of moderate proper

lea could give her and ought to
give her, Armenia would in few
years be capable of maintaining
an independent governmental ex-
istence and taking her rightfull
place in the family Of nations.
Without SUCH assistance as wei
alone of all the nations are best
fitted to give her, her future is
dubious indeed.
But sentimental and humanitar-
rian considerations are at a dis

POLITICAL PLAN OF EDUCATION
Kngly Idea of Leading the Workers Has No Place In
Plan of A. f. of l..

The workers have done more than
maintain this theory for 40 years
When they first advanced it they
were confronted by intolerant politi-
cal partisanship in every walk of life.
Non-partisanship was classed as
'freakish" by leaders of thought who
believed that party allegiance was
but one degree removed from loyalty
to our country The logic of events,
however, again sustains labor's posi-
ton and the situation is reversed.
Labor's program for social better
ment is constructive 1t includes CO.
operation based on the Rochdale sys-
TEN; government ownership and dem
ocratic operation of transportation;
tax on unused lands, thereby releas-
ing these large holdings for cultiva-
ton; unity between the scientists OF
industry and trade unions that ord
er discipline and greater production
may result; publicity of income tax
returns and dividends to ascertain
excessive profits and dividends; gov
ernment control of credits, because Of
their social nature, rather than con.
troll by privately owned banks.

tion of this agreement is free-from
any necessity of surrendering any
portion of his liberties as an Amer,
lean. Yet, in the non-union agree
ment to be signed by the employe the
third paragraph says THAT said en-
ploye is not a member of any labor
union. While employed by said en-
ployer, said employe will not become
member of any labor union and will
have no dealings, communications or
interviews with the officers, agents
or members of any labor union in re-
lation to said employees said employ
ment"
If this isn't interfering with the
rights and liberties of an employe,
what is it? An employe signing such
agreement valves every right and
liberty to discuss a question that is
open to every American citizen. He
can't even discuss it in his home, his
church or anywhere on the street
without violating his agreement. If he
does this, he lays himself open to a
suit for damages, and if he owns a
little home or piece of property he
can have it taken away from him
