for at least one definite thing-law

gives the ticket kangaroo charac-

platform which says everything and
nothing.

that redoubtsble political group known
to popular imagination as the Old
Guard. Senator Harding Is con-
servative candidate with a conserva-
tive platform. The Old Guard has

The Chronicel had hoped for the
Of Hiram Johnson 1t re-
grets that the decision has been
otherwise. But that ends IT. 1t is
not the individual who is OF most
national interest 1t is principles and
not men to which party loyalty is

resembles Garfield some
what in his qualities. but the people
of Ohio who know him best see
closer comparison with Mckinley. He

THE ATLANTA (GAD COSSTITU-
TION-The nomination of Senator
Harding of Ohio, while not entirely
will be received with sur
prise by many. Senator Harding has
been groomed by experts. and while
not much has been said about the lib
erality of the contributions to his
campaign there is no doubt that he
was backed by all the funds neces-
sary to give him a prominent position
among the candidates.
His chief strength lies in the fact
that he has been a sort of a middle
of.the-roader in his own party, avoid
ing as far as possible becoming in
volved in factionsl differences. The
Republicans might have gone further
and done much worse.
