THE OLD GUARD WINS

The result of the republican
convention shows conclusively
that the Old Guard still has con-
troll of The party. The nomi-
nation of Harding is proof of this
fact.
There probably never was a
doubt in the minds of the real
leaders of the party as to the out
come-the nomination of a can
didate who could be depended
upon by the regulars.
Woods and Lowden were i'm
possible on account of the, expose
of the large sums of money spent
to secure delegates.
Hiram johnson blew up as
soon as it became known to the
delegates that he accepted the
compromise plank on the League
Of Nations, written by Elihu Root,
several months ago, before he
left for Europe to look after the
legal end of the League of Ma
tons. The proposition worked
out beautifully and johnson fell
for it and lost every chance he
had-t though he really never had
any-for the nomination.
The platform adopted by the
republican convention should not
get the party or its candidates
anywhere. if the people will
realize what a mass of bun
combe and empty promises it
really is.
The Old Guard still reigns and
the favored interests will be taken
care of as in the days of old, if
the republican party is success
full in pulling the wool over the
eyes of the common people = the
electors and elects Harding and
Coolidge.

ers and representatives of workmen
which continued today win result in
some sort OF adjustment OF the situn-
tion. More than 200 chemical works
here were occupied by workmen at a
given signal late today and red flags
were hoisted above them on orders
issued by tho chamber of labor.

The premier. who absolutely refused
to permit the government to enter INTO
the situation. has not ceased to follow
the movement with the closest atten-
