MIR. Harding's Home Folks

An engaging side of Mr.. Harding
was shown in his speech to the home
folks of Marion. All the strength
of Middle Western Americanism
showed in his common-sense words
upon pulling together-boosting, in
the excellent word of our home
brewed speech.
1t is appealing and persuasive in
Mr.. Harding's case because it is
literally true of his own career. His
present success he owes to his loyal
community, whose loyalty he earned
by working with it and for it year
after year. That is the soundcst
American doctrine. Intense local
pride is second only to intense ma
tlonal feeling in our country. If
the local feeling ever weakens it will
be a sad day for the nation, for onlv
upon home rule in state, county and
town, vigorously supported by local
enthusiasm, can our huge area be
democratically governed.

was.

Heaven knows there is enough
solemnity at a national convention,
Not everybody takes the solemnity
as solemnly as it is intended. But
the atmosphere is charged with
portentous and vehement utterance,
the sky is darkened by polysyllables
and perorations and the gayest
moments are devoted to singing
"Marching Through Georgia." with
ingenious words designed to convey
the impression that certain delegates
are mad with excitement for So
and-So.
Therefore the innovation at the
San Francisco convention whereby
the names of Mr.. Ring Lardner and
Mr.. Irwin Cobb were projected into
the box score and credited with a
half vote or so for the nomination
deserves applause and fostering
care. Why not let the humorsts
into the game from the start?
Would the ordinary keynoter dare to
stand up and keynote if he knew
that a parody thereof by Mr.. Lew
Fields would Immediately follow?
Could even Palmer delegates parade
around a hall if a parade for Mr..
Haywood Broun, with appropriate
transparencies, would fall in behind?
The national convention has not
been thing Of glory this year.
Humor strikes US as about the best
thing that could happen to it. And
if some day a Republican conven-
ton should be stampeded to Mr..
George AIDE what could lie fairer
than that the Democrats should put
up Mr.. Dooley? And what a cam
paign then would be! Electing a
President under such conditions
would cease to be a thing of gloomy
endurance and would actually be a
pleasure.

Happy Days

Never were stations, boats and
trains so choked with vacationists as
this Fourth of July. If retribution,
like winged hawk, is overhanging
our beloved land, and business and
industry and life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness are presently
to collapse into hard times or Boil
shevism or any other equivalent hell
upon earth, there was no sign Of the
impending disaster in the atmos-
phere of our busiest of holidays.
AS for the celebrations, they were
abstemious in the matter of cannon
crackers and other boy-killers, as or
dained by the new order Of things,
but they held an ample and lively
equipment of old Independence Day
sentiment. The Americanization
jubilee at the Stadium of the College
Of the City of New York was the out
standing event here. 1t was at once
picturesque and persuasive. In
countless small towns the day saw
the unwilling of tablets to the fight
ing men of the great war. Big years
have gone by, new phrases are on
the speakers lips, but the old Ameri-
canism persists, as militant as ever.
For such day of mingled play
and patriotism every one can be
thankful. We need the old truths,
the old games to live by, however
changeful the times and however
swift seems the passing current of
events. Happiness was not men,
toned in the Declaration of indie
pendence for nothing. A good sign it
is that the Fourth of July, 1920, was
the joyful, skyrockety day that it
was

ton. There was a touch Of the
pathetic and the tragic in the zeal
Of the McAdoo agents to accomplish
something which their principal on
the other side Of the continent
seemed so averse to. Senator John
Roderick Mcpherson, Of New Jer-
sey, once said on a memorable &C.
casion: "My household is very i'm
perfectly administered" The wires
seem to have been down between
Frisco and Huntington, L. I.
General William T. Sherman set
an example to those who would re-
fuse the Presidential crown. When
he was urged to be a candidate he
said: II shall not accept nomina-
ton. If I am nominated l will not
run, and if / am elected will not
serve.", The politicians let him
alone after that. His remuneration
was too explicit.

Reluctant Candidates

Many men have looked askance
on a Presidential nomination-or
pretended to do so. There are al
ways receptive" candidates. With
them diffidence is fortified by calcu-
lations of prudence. They prefer to
have the Office seek the man and
realize that an active pursuit of it
might produce no results common
surate with the effort required, and
thus lead to an unnecessary adver-
tisement of ineligibility. There are
others whose reluctance, even when
nomination is within reach, is due
to careful weighing of the annoy
ances of a candidacy and the obsta-
cles to an election.
Horatio Seymour presided over
the Democratic National Conven-
ton which met in this city on July
4, 1868. He was urged to accept
nomination for President. "Your
candidate | cannot be-" he said from
the platform. Yet the convention
drafted him and he became it's can
didate.
James G.. Blaine was long unset
tied in mind as to whether he should
run for President in 1883, after hav-
ing been defeated in 1884. He de-
clined to be candidate before the
convention, which was deadlocked
over a Sunday while his supporters
urged him to reconsider. He finally
said no. But in 1892 he entered the
fight for the Republican nomination
just three days before the conven-
ton met, resigning from President
Harrison's Cabinet in order to do
SO. A few months earlier he had
written a letter asking his friends
not to consider him as a possibility
and to support Harrison.
Mr.. McAdoo's unsanctioned cam
didacy at San Francisco. therefore.
has parallels. But never before has
a candidate who refused to seek the
nomination been supported so con-
fidently through so many ballots by
followers who we're determined to
nominate him and assumed to know
better what he wanted than he him
self did. The McAdoo boom showed
signs of long and patient prepara-

Sir: In your issue of this morning
you report the Rev. John Roach

World Movement failed because it en-.
deavored to substitute human eff.
cheney for divine power and the might

Ghost" with more to the same pur-

The statement shows the speakers
unfamiliarity with the subject he is
treating. This is objectionable in 50
noted an investigator as DR.. Straton.
Perhaps he has been so busy investi-
eating cabarets that he has not had
time to look into this matter. The
pity is that he should have spoken
without at lqast reading a page or two
OF the litef AZURE sent out by the
Movement. He would then have
known that one of the leading depart
ments is that Of Spiritual Resources y
the avowed aim of which is to secure
a large number of intercessors and to
stimulate and encourage the practice
OF prayer as the only dependence of
the church. So deeply rooted is this
idea that every day at noon the prave,
bell rings in the central office, and all
officers and employees cease their con.
versation. stop their typewriters and
bow their heads in silent prayer for
the space Of one minute. And he mich,

Second: An utter lack of homo

Lodge reservations, and if there is
another roll call the number will be
increased. A two-thirds majority
being necessary to ratify, what con-
ceivable chance is there Of getting
two-thirds of the next Senate to &C.
cept the Presidents plan?
The Cox managers, disregarding
the treaty issue, hope to capture the
wet vote. But how? Governor Cox
can scarcely be silent for four
months, even though his platform
is. To say nothing and to try to
whisper a way into the White
House means the loss of all political
character. On the other hand, if he
speaks, he knows there's death upon
The lower road and Injuns upon the
upper.
The campaign promises to be a
distressing one to those who like
politics explicit. The verbal in
dorsement of the Wilson Admins
tration, coupled with it's practical
abandonment, makes it matter of
extreme doubt what votes for Cox
will mean.

Cox's Strength in Ohio

One or the chief arguments at
San Francisco in Governor Cox's
favor was the getting capacity
it was said he had shown in Ohio,
the biggest Of the doubtful states.
This argument apparently had a
powerful effect on Southern dele
gates who would naturally have
SHE'D at him because of his wet and
anti-Administration affiliations.
Mr.. Cox has, in fact, had an ex-
ceptional record in Ohio politics. He
is the only Democrat ever elected
three times to the Governorship.
Just after the Civil War Rutherford
3. Hayes was elected Governor three
times, and held that office when the
Republican National Convention of
1876 made him a Presidential nomi-
nee. Yet it must be taken into con-
sideration that in most of his cam
paigns Governor Cox was greatly
favored by circumstances. He usual
ly ran when and where the running
was good.
The Governor entered politics in
1903, capturing the Democratic
nomination for Congress in the Sd
Ohio District, which comprised the
counties of Butler, Montgomery and
Preble. The district was then Re-
publican. But 1908 was poor
Republican year in Ohio. Judson
Harmon was elected Governor in
spite of the fact that william H.
Taft carried the state for President.
There was Democratic landslide in
the Sd District, Cox winning by a
plurality of 1921. When he was a
candidate for reelection in 1910, the
year in which Judson Harmon de-
feated Warren G. Harding for Gov
ernor by 100,377, Cox's plurality for
Congress fell to 1900.
Cox first stood for Governor in
1912. A Democratic nomination that
year was equivalent to an election.
There was a Progressive candidate
in the field, as we'll as a Republican.
Garford, the Progressive, received
217,903 votes and Robert M. Brown,
the Republican, 272,5OO. Cox's
plurality over Brown was 166,823.
Wilson'S plurality over Taft that
year was 1866. Taft and Roose-
welt ran ahead of their state tickets
and Wilson ran about $1,000 behind
Cox.
Mr.. Cox was renominated in 1914.
In spite of the fact that 6O,971 votes
were cast for Garfield, the Progress
sive candidate, Cox was beaten by
Willis, the Republican nominee. The
latter's plurality was 31,259. 1t was
IN 1914 that Harding was elected
Senator by a plurality of 102,373.
Two years later Cox tried again.
This was another Democratic year.
Wilson carried the state for Presi-
dent over Hughes by 89,5O3. PIONEER
enc was elected Senator by 1852
over Myron r. Herrick. Cox's plu-
rality over Willis was only 5,199.
But if Cox showed weakness in
1916. he made a recovery in 1918.
Willis was his opponent for a third
time. Cox's plurality rose to H.
944, and he was the only successful
candidate on the Democratic state
ticket.
Governor Cox has been associated

poor AS for their psychic Quality, we
think that the most nervous could
read them at any time of the night
without any response save perhaps the
faintest of shivers
The author sticks for the most part
to one last. He brings his reader to
the point of deciding that the whole
wild experience a character has en-
dured is a dream, and then adds that
there on the floor lay a rose, or a
dagger, or a footprint to prove the
contrary.
Several Of the stories cannot be
called in the least Kiplingesque, but
when he lays his tale in India the
author seems to use the old dried
palette Of the master for his local
color.
He goes further in one tale at least.
His "Krishnavana" is merely varia-
ton of Kipling's "The Sending of
Dana d." if we remember the latter's
name correctly.
This emulation may have been al
most entirely unconscious. but signs
of it run plain through Achmed
Abdullah's work.
There is one phrase for which we
refuse to give the author any credit
whatever. "He walked into my shoo.'
