The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1920-05-06

Harding's candidacy, so far as it had
sound theory, was that Ohio is a
big State and doubtful as between
Republicans and Democrats. The
Democrats carried it in 1916, and by
carrying it, elected Mr.. Wilson. The
theory was that by nominating a man
for President who was qualified in
other respects and who had the ad-
'ditional qualifications of being a son
of Ohio and popular in the State, the
Republicans could guarantee Ohio.
That theory now disappears. 1t has
been demonstrated that an outsider
can carry Ohio for the Republicans
more certainly than Mr.. Harding can.
1t lis impossible to imagine the Re-
publican leaders on any sound theory
of politics, continuing to regard Mr..
Harding as being as available a can
didate as he was the day before the
Ohio primaries. They cannot on any
sound theory of politics regard Mr..
Harding as now being so available as
several others are. 1t was an axiom
of the late Matthew S. Quay, master
of all practical politicians, that
party must never nominate a man
who has not his own State solidly
behind him.
Moreovel, there are other reasons
why Mr.. Harding may be expected
to take changed relation to the Re-
publication situation. A good many of
us here in this State have always
doubted whether Mr.. Harding was
really whole-hearted i'm his candidacy
for the Presidency.

BOURBON FARMERS FORM
POOL OF 1920 WOOL CROP

Thirty thousand pounds of the
1920 wool clip of Bourbon county
was pooled Monday at the meeting
of the Farm Bureau Federation.
There is now practically 100000
pounds of wool in the county that will
bring at the present rate between
100000 and 100000. The Farm
Bureau managers believe they will be
able to enlist 10000 pounds or more
in the pool.
While the pooling of the lamb crop
of practically 10000 head of lambs
has not taken definite form, action to
that extent, is being discussed and
may materialize within the next two
weeks. When the wool is ready for
delivery the Farm Bureau plans TO

Ohio Vote Kills
Harding Chances

Comments on the results of pri-
maries seem to overlook what i'm
presses your correspondent as the
most important single aspect--the
changed situation of Senator Hard
ing.
The headlines are all saying that
Harding Carries Ohio" and so he
does, in the sense that he has Sc
cured nearly FIVE ixths of the dele
gates. But that is not the true sense
Of carrying State. The really sig
nificant fact is that Mr.. Harding did
not carry Ohio. He got less than so
per cent. Of the State vote.
This aspect Of the Ohio result is
obscured by the fact that the oppo-
sition vote is distributed among three
other candidates. But that does not
alter the effect Of the fact in Mr..
Harding's fortunes. Every person
with political experience OF Judgment
knows that Mt. Harding today has a
wholly altered relation to the Re-
publican situation.
Whether Mr.. Harding. will stay in
the race to the end is decision so
completely within the minds of him
self and his political friends and
managers that it lis not field in
which outsiders can properly venture
predictions. But every observer with
any penetration and sufficient infor-
nation is able to say that no candi-
date who fails to get half of the pop
ular vote in his own State primary
can qualify as favorite son.
The whole theory back of Mr..

1t is believed that Governor Coolidge
will take the stump.

take a very active part in all phases
OF the campaign, and am simply 60
ing into this particular work to lend
every possible aid to the National Com
mittee's wishes to that end. 1t is all
part OF the movement voiced by Senator
Harding that we have party govern
ment for the nation. In like manner we
are having party campaign in which
every factor is to be brought into
effective use"
Plans were discussed by the con-
ferees for making an active campaign
in the East.
Chairman Hays yesterday completed
the membership of the executive COM
mittee Of the National Committee by
appointing Mrs. Medill Mccormick,
wife of the junior Senator from Illinois,
and Raymond Robins, also of Chicago.
Both are progressives. Mrs. McCor-
mick was for some time president of
the Women's Campaign Committee of
the Republican patty.
Mr.. Robins arrived at the office of
Chairman Hays shortly before the an
nouncement was made. He came di-
rect from an interview with Senator
Harding at Marion, where he pledged his
active support to the nominee for
President.
Mr.. Robins is, perhaps, the most pic
turesque figure in the executive COM
mittee. In his early youth he worked
in the mines of Albania When gold
was discovered in Alaska he went there
and left the gold fields with a fortune.
He was chairman of the Progressive
National Convention in 1916, and prior
to the Chicago convention in June he
was an enthusiastic supporter of Senator
Johnson for President. He is a strong
laborite, and will devote his time be-
tween New York and Chicago head
quarters until the campaign is further
advanced.
