Washington. D. c.. Aug. 1S.-Most
people have an idea that as gossips
women are the worst offenders, but
anyone who spends several days in
Ohio studying the presidential cam
pafgn must be convinced that the
male Of the species is more deadly
than the female.
For campaign whispers and lies
have begun their insidious journey
to the minds of the voters outside
of Ohio. The private lives of Sen
ator Harding and Governor Cox
have been thoroughly canvassed
and the trails of slander which
played so prominent a part in the
'undercurrents Of the 1916 campaign
have been started afresh with re-
spect to both presidential candi-
dates.
The trouble is that, people who
have lived for years in the same
towns or cities with the respective
candidates and whose minds are
colored by grievances or preju-
dices and sometimes by imaginative
powers not confined to politics
alone have given free rein to their
tongues. And what a person
says who claims to have known the
one candidate or the other "for
years" is apt to say is frequently
repeated as absolute truth.
Distasteful Part Of Campaign.
1t is perhaps the most distaste-
full phase of the presidential cam
Fpaign and were it not for the fact
that 1t is playing already so prom
inent q part in the word of mouth
propaganda of the campaign it
could be ignored. Many people
who would otherwise Judge the
candidates on what they say in
print or what is said about them in
newspapers may be swayed in
their judgment by the poisonous
tales and not one of them. either
with respect to Senator Harding or
Governor Cox, has anything more
to do with the qualifications of
these men to be president OF the
United States than the private
lives OF the voters who will do the
electing next November.
