The Forty-E Fighters and Others.

Tomorrow convention called by the
committee of forty eight" to con
slider and possibly nominate a third
party ticket will meet in Chicago.
Heretofore speculation as to a candi-
date has focused on La Toilette. Rep
resentatives of the committee of forty
eight have been comforting with him
and, ii is understood, have wrung from
him his consent to serve as standard
bearer for the party of political purity
But a snag has been struck. The hope
was that the committee of forty eight
would win the support of the single
takers, who will hold a convention also
in Chicago tomorrow, and perhaps of
the labor party, which meets on Sun
day. But the single takers have an
nounced that they will not support
La Toilette and the laborites are rep
resented as more than dubious regard
ing him.
Promoters of the third party move
ment do not regard it as a forlorn
hope by any means. They are really

we're keen for returning, and greatly
disappointed at their failure.
In the cases of Senator Harding and
Gov Cox it is well to consider that
both are comparatively young-the
former fifty five, and the latter fifty
and both in the pink of physical con
dition. Whichever enters the White
House next March will be equal to his
duties He will find them onerous,
but they will not daunt him. Renoml-
nation will be matter of his own
pleasure, and a second term likely If
his first has been success. Neither
party this year declared for a single
term. At San Francisco Mr.. Bryan did
not even propose it.
The White House has been called
"a fools paradise" But many wise
men have sought residence there, and
some have found it. An occupant is so
that he loses touch
somewhat with the everyday, and, per
force, must listen to good many
"fairy tales" Still, let us all hope
that the desire to cross that eminent
threshold continues keen among our
public men. When the presidency
loses its lure we shall as nation be

motion to this effect was lost 80 to
t6 in the house and the legislature last
hight adjourned. Thus the ease is put
up to Tennessee and North Carolina

he thirty sixth vote needed for rati-
6cation, or Connecticut and Vermont
bf the republican states. If the in
junction sought by Mr.. Fairchild the
bther day is granted still another state
will be reeded to replace West Vir-
ginia, whose vote is challenged on the
ground of irregularity of procedure
in the legislature. Tennessee will also
be rendered of doubtful validity. If
the injunction is refused an appeal
to the Supreme Court of the United
States may throw the case into suffi
cient doubt even if Tennessee acts
favorably next month to require q
thirty seventh vote. Thus for assured
Effectiveness for the present campaign
both a republican and democratic
state must ratify or two republican
states. The democratic possibilities
are now exhausted save for Florida
which must be called in extra session
in order to act in season. SO it may
be that as a result of this injunction

Germany Signs Again.

After maneuvering for concessions
the German delegates at Spa, com
prising virtually the entire ministry
have signed the allied demands fol
disarmament and delivery of arms
They accompany their signature with
a protest against the provision writ
ten into the agreement that in the
event of German failure to comply
with the terms the allies will occupy
certain areas, probably in the Ruhl
district, until disarmament is effected
Thus the dealings with the German
government under the peace treaty
proceed along familiar lines. The
Berlin government halts and objects
and presents more or less plausible
reasons why certain things cannot be
done and then under the pressure of
necessity accepts. Nothing less is to
be expected. The beaten enemy will
adopt every possible expedient to avoid
the penalty of defeat.
1t was disclosed at the Spa confer
ence that the German disarmament
has not proceeded as rapidly as the
Versailles treaty required, that arms
are scattered about in Germany far in
excess of the stipulations of the
treaty, and that certain other war mu-
nitions have not been yielded accord
ing to requirements. The German
plea is that disarmament is impossible
within the time limit, and an extern
sion of time has been granted, but
under terms that put premium upon
eventual compliance.
The allies in the stipulations just
signed require the immediate disband-
ment of certain of the German forces
including the so-called security po.
lice; that a proclamation be at once
issued calling for the surrender forth
with of all weapons and firearms in
the hands of the civilian population
the abolition of compulsory military
service and the surrender to the allies
of all arms, guns and cannon possessed
beyond the treaty limits.
Abolition of compulsory military
service is one of the vitals of this
requirement. 1t was plainly the hope
of the German government to continue
the systematic military training of the
civilian population in such manner
as to create a great potential army,
somewhat after the fashion adopted
by an earlier German ruler who got
around limitations imposed by vic
torious France and by successive re-
placements created powerful and
Eventually effective army foundation.
Pleas of the Germans for remission
from the exactions imposed at Spa
were accompanied by dire forecasts of
domestic turmoil in the event of dis
armament Already signs arise of such
disturbances, in Brunswick, possibly
"made to order" The allies have not
allowed themselves to be frightened
off the measures for the full enforce
ment of the Versailles treaty by this
now familiar menace of German tur-

turn the trick The convention was
feverish and impatient. The more ex-
perienced of the delegates were anx-
ious. The situation was full of peril
to the party. But dark horse was
not the result. The democrats in
their extremity nominated a man whose
name had from the first been before
the convention, and whose record in
office, state and national, was warrant
for the tenacity shown by his support
ers. He stood for and with his party,
