HARDING AND COOLIDGE, STRONG MEN

The nomination of Harding and Coolidge as standard-bearers of the republican party in the next presidential campaign seems to have been accepted with great satisfaction throughout the United States. It certainly is highly pleasing to republicans here The records of both men are brilliant and clean. They are both emnently successful business men and statesmen. Neither has any embarrassing entangements.
 It is especially gratifying that man of pres idential calibre has been selected for vice-pres- dent. Harding is strong man, one in whom the country will feel confidence. His running mate, Coolidge, the vice-presdential nominee, is in ev- cry way fitted, should death come to the presi- dent, to take his place. One cannot but feel that the affairs of the nation will be in splendid hands with these two men at the helm. Because they win be at the hem The nomination assures them the election, probably by as large major ity as ever decided presidential election.
 A remarkable feature of the republican con- vention was the large number of good men avail able for the nomination. Compared with cond- tions in the democratic party, where men fitted for the highest office in the land seem to be a negligible quantity, the fact that the republicans could have chosen any one of dozen or more men, with perfect safety to the party and the country, is indisputabe evidence that in brains, at least, the party that will resume power follow ing the next election has the edge, and then some

A REMARKABLE SHOWING

One of the most remarkable reports concern ing congressional investigations of war expendi- lures is that of the Graham select committee with reference to nitrate. The committee makes this striking statement, which it proceeds to show is based on facts: "The governments nitrate pro- gram has cost up to the present time SIG, 149- 974.37, has produced no nitrates and contributed nothing toward the winning of the war" It will be hard to convince any American of average ca pacity to understand business proposition that there was any justifabe reason for such hap less and expensive failure.

McCombs, former chairman of the democratic national committee, who ought to be considered pretty good democratic authority, necessarily carry into the campaign the handi- cap of the crown prince idea" He opines that McAdoo's nomination would carry suggestion of dictated dynastic succession" and that the republicans in that event might well say some thing along the line of the creation of an Ameri- can empire" Mr. McCombs has put into words what good many millions of Americans have been thinking Still, there are not lacking evi- dences that the administrations political ma chinery is being fixed up to help the "crown prince" get the nomination.

This move on the part Of the Anti
