TO THE FRONT AGAIN

"Well, the Democratic convention
after more than week of fighting
and wrangling finally nominated man
whom very few Democrats seem to
want said Uncle Ted, as the children
gathered around for their evening
story.
"Who is he?" asked Ruth.
| "James NJ. Cox, Governor of Ohio,
Ruth. The funny part about it all is
that they couldn't agree on man
until they had cast forty-four ballots,
with three recesses to try and settle
their differences. Two of these recesses
were for three hours each and one for
twenty-four hours. Warren G. Harding
was nominated on the tenth ballot
after one recess and everybody left the
Republican convention satisfied that
the best possible man had been nomin-
ated. But not so with the Democrats.
From the very start it was seen that
they could not agree upon Mr.. McAdoo,
although he held out in the lead for
quite while. Mr.. Cox must now make
his fight for the presidency upon the
Democratic platform alone, and must
stand up at all times for the world club
plan. And yet the convention was di-
vided upon the world club question,
for many of them did not want to 60

Wilson still says it must be accepted.
| Mr. Cox will have to stand up for the
world club and if it falls, that is if
the majority of the people of the coun-
try care more for America than they
do for sending American boys to be
killed in the defense of foreign conn
tries, then Mr.. Cox will fall with 1t
Aside from the many qualities of Mr..
| Harding which make him the one man
| for the presidency at this time he will
be elected because he and his party
are opposed to the world club while
Mr.. Cox and the Democrats are for il.
1t is all just as l have told you time
and time again, many weeks ago that
the world club plan would be the real
issue of the campaign no matter what
anyone may say. 1t has not been bur
led as an issue. The people have learn
ed in the past months what terrible
thing it would be and they will nev,I

"What has happened to our foreign
relationSY We are without any means
of acting with other countries simply
because our president would not Listen
United States senate who said that the
tried and time-old system handed down
from the days of George Washington
could not be beaten. Why are we still
technically at war with Germany? Be-
cause Woodrow Wilson would not sign
the paper passed by congress declaring
peace.
''Why wouldn't he sign it?' asked
Jack.
- He said, because it was disgrace
to make peace that way, but probably
his real and only reason was that if we
couuldn't T have peace the way HE
wanted it we wouldn' + have any at all.
The people of the United States will
never agree that "A system for the
handling of our foreign relations franz
ed in a few hours in Paris surrounded
| by foreign influences is better than a
system planned for days by the faith
ers of this country and tried for and
proved through hundred years use!
You see, kiddies, while the Republicans
had their difficulties too, yet they got
together early in the game, even before
the convention-as far back as the SEN
ate debate over the world club. The
split in the Democratic party over the
world club question is so wide that
everyone knows about il and they will
have a mighty hard time getting TO-
gether, while the Republicans are unit
ed solidly on every one of the great IS
sues.
"The Democratic party has shown
that they only want to hear one side
