BY the nomination of James NJ.
Cox the San Francisco convention
has given its party leader well
versed in the principles of democracy
a candidate who has the pleasing
habit of carrying his own state, anc
man who in high office has demon
strated his capacity to legislate and
to govern.
From what we know OF him we
should say that Governor Cox. if elec.
ted, would enforce the prohibition
amendment to the letter and all laws
made in harmony herewith. He is
NOT likely, in response to any exhorta.
ton. public or private, to go beyond
that, as so many zealots are now
insisting must be the practice. The
supreme court and the conventions of
both parties have left the issue with
congress and there, no doubt. Gov
ernor Cox will leave it, obedient to its
decrce.
AS to the league of nations he has
been described as warm, yet no one
has spoken more strongly in its fav ,
than he did in his Jackson day ad.
dress. That he favors it aud would
ratify the treaty without impairine
its integrity as is so eloquently prom
ised by the platform upon which he is
to stand, is to be assumed as a mat
ter of course.

only. practical means OF maintaining
the permanent peace OF the world and
terminating the insufferable burden
Of great military and naval estab-
lishments."
There is an unequivocal pronounce
ment upon the great issue, there Is a
candidate fully committed to support
of the party's position. Candidate and
platform confront a rival candidate
who, in the Senate voted unswerv.
ingly with the partisan group opposed
to the ratification of the treaty, ana
a rival platform adopted at Chicago in
which that group of the treaty's en-.
emies is commended for it's successful
resistance to the adoption of the plan
for preserving the peace of the world.
The opposing parties shave taken their
positions the field is ready for that
great referendum" which the presi-
dent said must decide whether tho
United States shall withhold its aic
from this desired consummation.

In respect to personal popularity the
Democrats have undeniably chosen
well. Governor Cox will make "A

dry plank of Mr.. Bryan than that Of
the damp plank of Mr.. Cochran. If
pressed to the issue, Governor Cox
may be forced to state his views in
terms that will establish him as the
champion of modification Of the act
of enforcement.
There is n chance, therefore, that
with Mr.. Cox as a candidate the Demo
cratic campaign may turn upon pro-
hibition as the major issue, rather
than upon the League Of Nations,
upon which the administration has
undoubtedly set its heart, and which
the platform chiefly stresses.

As goes Ohio usually has gone the
presidency. 1t will in all probability
be- that way the coming campaign.
Therefore. IN Il sense the issue joined
rests with Ohio for settlement. Recog-
milton Of this contingency carried
much weight in behalf of Governor
Cox at San Francisco. IL was felt
that the Democrats must have Ohio
To win and if, anybody could carry
Ohio, Cox could.
There isn't a chance on earth for
ANYBODY to fail of voting in Ohio in
November. incidentally, the occasion
furnishes an exceedingly opportune
time for definite settling of the ques-
tion Of the states absolute allegiance
to Republicanism i'm any contest In
volving straight dyedlnthe-wool, non
shrinkable party principles. The per-
sonal equation Of an appeal to state
pride is stand-off. To son OF
Ohio must go the distinction. IL is
simply a choice as TO which son. and
all things being. as they are. SO nearly
equal Republicans will vote for the
Republican son, and Democrats will
vote for the Democratic son.
The result in Ohio is already fore
cast. Senator Harding will carry the
state in a manner commensurate in
impressiveness with his election-win-
ming record over that Of his opponent,

The immediate situation is that the
Democrats enter their campaign with
much superior declaration of prin.
ciples and possibly much superior
candidate. 1t may be that one or
the other Of the nominees will de-
velop unsuspected qualities in the
campaign. After all, the people really
know much less about either Harding
or Cox than they usually do about
men honored with presidential nomi,
nations. There is suggestion in
Cox's record, particularly in the way
he handled the labor troubles in Ohio
last year, when he resolutely removed
a Democratic mayor who had shown
himself incapable Of maintaining order
and placed Republican in his stead,
that he may have unexpected elements
Of reserve strength. We shall all

Mr. Cox is the best evasion of awk-
ward declarations the party could
find, but the people, we believe, prefer
an assurance to an evasion.

tion Of issues as could be made.
On a straight prohibition issue we
believe the country would 60 dry. In
a presidential election with the liquor
issue injected sectionally no one can
tell. The south would vote dry but
it will vote Democratic, wet or dry.
Eleven southern states will give
Cox 12e electoral votes. They are as
good as counted for him now. If
these states knew that the first thing
he would do would be to recommend
a beer and light wine amendment to
the Volstead Enforcement Act they
would give their electoral votes TO
him.
A Democratic candidate needs to
pick only 1902 electoral votes in the
northeast and west. In five states
there has been action on liquor since
prohibition, either by legislation or in
popular referendum. New York and
New Jersey have passed laws to per.
nit the manufacture and sale of beer,
q permission which does not permit.
bIt which expresses. The Massa-
chusetts legislature passed such a
law and the governor vetoed 1t. Rhode
Island almost nulified the constitution
and Ohio went wet on a referendum.
These states have 106 votes in the
electoral college. California contains
both johnson and grape growers. The
grape growers probably will like Cox.
Johnson. who threw Hughes, has not
expressed any warmth of feeling for
the Republican party of late.
We believe facing both ways will
not get. an Endorsement from the
