. The threeecornered vote of 1912
shed some interesting light on the po-
litical complexion of various sections
OF the country. 1t showed that the
widest cleavage in America is that be-
tween the west and the northeast. 1t
was the west that voted for Roosevelt,
that marched to Armageddon singing
hymns-thats in a word, took seriously
to itself the hope OF a rejuvenation of
American politics and of en- effective
program of liberal reform. 1t was
the northeast which stood fast behind
Mr.. Taft, unaffected by the winds of
chance and change. 1t was the solid
south that elected Woodrow Wilson.
solely because he WAS a Democrat. 1t
was no more carried away by the
moral fery0r of the occasion than was
the northeast in a word, this vote
demonstrated what has become vastly
more apparent since then, that the
west is the true home of liberalism and
radicaiism in America. The west be-
lieves in change The west has natural
resources and it wants them conserved
The east wants the status quo. The
east has money, massed in private
ownership and wants to keep it there
The fact that the south is Democratic
by habit and the north Republican

Ten Thousand Have Lost Liberty Bonds

themselves minus the bonds. They

then present their plea to the govern
ment. or the thousands who have
pleaded for the substitution Of securi-
ties for coupon bonds, only negligl-
BILE percentage have produced suffi-
clent proof Of loss to permit the gov
ernment to relieve them.
This condition probably will be
brought to the attention Of the COM
ing congress with hope that some
measure Of relief may be found for
the owners Of bonds as well as pro-
lection for the government.
The treasury officials again call at
tentIon to their pleading that coupon
bonds be exchanged for the registered
bonds. Almost every advantage Is
given the holder of registered bonds.
Almost every disadvantage accrues to
the holder Of coupon bonds. And yet
the people will not respond. Any
