THE OTHER MANS THUNDER

AS nearly as we can figure matters
out, the Republicans have again at
tempted to steal the other mans
thunder
All over the country, from the
east to the south and from the south

hills and valleys, the dells and dales
are spotted and dotted to its face
IA great big bill announcing that it
is time to stop wiggling and wob-
bling.
4 This is an effort to steal the
thunder OF Governor Cox. an effort
which is ludicrous in its childishness.
1t was Governor Cox who, departing
from the use Of stilted phrases and
high-sounding rhetorical expressions,
and adopting the use of words which
all might understand. first said that
this was mot a time for webbing"
The Republican managers have
stolen this expression bodily, seeking
10 hide their plagiarism through
adding the word, "wiggling."
And in doing this they have SEEM
ingly overlooked the fact that II
was the constant shelling Of the woods
by Governor Cox. which forced Sena-
tor Harding to leave his front porch
and come out before the people, while
it was the same shelling Of the same
woods. by the same man. the Demo-
cratic candidate for president. that
compelled the Republican aspirant for
presidential honors to quit his wob
bling on the league of nations and
come out in the open.
Nominated upon platform which
wobbled from the day II was built
by the faithful, in convention assem-
bled at the city of Chicago, Senator
Harding has valiantly attempted to
wiggle through his campaign, making
the race, until forced from cover,
without taking a firm stand, without
letting anyone know that he was
for anything. without saying that he
was against anything further than
Article X, which he opposed because
his senatorial colleagues opposed II.
because II was the one section in the
league Of nations covenant which
Woodrow Wilson drafted and faith

and have at last started in TO run
along the clear path in full sight
Of the huntsmen who are on your
trail.
We are glad that Senator Harding
has ceased wobbling and wiggling
about the wobbly and wiggly platform
upon which he was nominated and
upon which he was expected to stand

But transportation isn't all your

A Boston bean, tobacco in a thous-

A country where the days are nights
and where the nights are days.
A stick of gum, a Millionaire, self

And things and things and things and

But after all, Colum, old scout
