Encpt and Insulting

Governor Cox complains on the
stump that the Republicans are try
ing to raise a huge campaign fund.
Has he no better argument for his
own election than that the other
side has "the bigger bsrrel"? It is
a childish lamentation-an echo of
the cheap demagogy of the past
to intimate that the decision of the
american electorate-more than 80
100000 strong-is going to be con-
trolled by the distribution Of a cam
paign fun.
Governor Cox pretends to be filled
with horror at the thought that the
Republicans seek to raise $15,-
COo,000." He conveniently forgets
that the Democratic National COM
mlttee a couple of years ago set in
motion drive to raise a fund which
one Of its enthusiastic officers esti-
mated would bring in from $1,000
600 to SIS, 100000. A modernized
Democratic collection bureau was
established in Washington. It's work
was halted only after Chairman
Cummings realized that its activi-
ties were attracting unwelcome pub
Lefty.
Recently when the Republican
National Committee limited political
subscriptions to $1,000 the Demo-
cratic committee refused to follow
suit. Its treasurer will take sub
scrlptions to any amount. Governor
Cox says he will not allow TAINTED
money" to be accepted. How could
any candidate ever persuade himself
that any money offered in the good
cause of electing him was "tainted"?
Chairman Hays says that the Repub-
hcan committee will stick to the
$1,000 limit. He prefers small sub
scriptions, which represent a genuine
personal, but not selfish, interest in
the success Of the party. Which
attitude is the sounder and more
progressive?
A great deal of nonsense is talked
about mythical campaign funds ana
the corrupt use Of money for politi-
cal purposes. Money may be used
legitimately in politics as we'll as
in any other kind of propaganda.
Its corrupt misuse is alone to be
condemned. Every person of COM
mon sense knows that the votes in

California Also

In the recent Ohio primaries the
number participating as Republicans
was 100000, against $4,000 par
ticipating as Democrats. An extraor-
binary Republican majority was
thus foreshadowed.
Similar news comes from Cali
fornia. The total primary enroll
ment is 1,250,S00. Out of this num-
Der 100000 enrolled as Republicans,
against $4,000 enrolled as Demo-
Gratis. 1t is not easy to consider
California a doubtful state.
A campaign CT noisy misrepre-
sentation in behalf Of Governor Cox
is now in full swing. 1t is especially
loud in Eastern newspapers, but
there is no sign that the voters are
caught by it. Many charges, mostly
untrue, are made about the league
Of peace. But the voters know who
beat it, and are not deceived.

Smoking Out

Chairman Lawrence Of the Be-
publican organization in the Bronx
attributes the failure thus far to
achieve anti Socialist fusion in the
Sd and 4th Assembly districts to
the influence of Governor Smith.
Two years ago the Socialist candi-
date for Governor ran $4,000 votes
behind his ticket, and it is not de-
MED that Governor Smith had the
benefit of the Socialist detection
and that without it he would not
have had his $1,000 plurality. 1t
is insinuated that the Governor
seeks the votes again.
The basis of the preliminary
fusion understanding was that the
Democrats were to name the two
fusion candidates for the Assembly
and the Republicans the candidate
for Senator in the 22d District.
The Republicans presented Senator
Abeles as their selection and the
Democrats named theiy Assembly

Historic Prohteers

In Rome, it seems, the people are
comforting themselves for the high
cost of living by rejecting that the
profiteer is of ancient origin. A
historian recalls the celebrated proc
iamation issued by Emperor Do
cletian, in 800 A. D., in which, after
railing at the proiteers for not re-
speeding his price fixing, in desperav
ton the Emperor advises his people
to boycott the dealers in regular
present-day fashion.
SO while the people admit there
is nothing new under the sun, the
Roman prof'teer in 1920 takes fresh
courage and goes his ancient pre-
decessor several hundred per cent
better. The old document proves to
be as good propaganda for him as
cur own high cost Of living investi-

One Way to Debate
New York, Aug. Il. 1920.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Advocates Of defation need not
ccnfne their efforts toward that end to
political agitation. Every one has
weapon close at hand. Il is simply TO
carry his pocket money IN gold instead
of paper, and-as far as possible-to
pay in gold. This latter would be most
effective in the case of businesses with
large pay rolls. Even if banks objected
to getting so much gold for them'
surely it would be small trouble TO take
paper money TO the Federal Reserve
Bank and get gold for 1t.
The Federal Reserve system is
loaned almost up to its maximum, and
it is easily possible that any general
use of gold as pocket change would de-
crease the systems gold holdings to
point where no more currency could Do
issued, thus necessitating rigid cur
tailment of loans for relatively non-
productive purposes.
All persons on salaries the white
collar squad"-all dependents on fixed
incomes, all farmers and the greater
part of labor should recognize TINS
remedy and be eager to make use Of IL
With humanity's Unborn fondness Tor
the metal, propaganda to carry gold
and reduce prices once started
should be easy to "pnt over

candidates. Whereupon the Demo-
Gratis refused to indorse Senator
Abeles, giving as reason that he
is prohibitionist, having intro
duced the resolution for the ratifi-
cation Of the Eighteenth Amend
ment. This led to Withholding Re-
publican Endorsement from the two
Democratic Assembly candidates.
Arthur Murphy, the Democratic
leader, now says the Democrats will
indorse any Republican Senatorial
candidate except Senator Abeles.
The rejoinder Of Chairman Law
renee is that the demand is unrea-
sonable-that Senator Abeles voted
for the 2.75 beer act and that the
vote on ratification is ancient
history.
1t would seem as if the Republi-
can case were the stronger, and
there is reason to suspect an Interior
purpose somewhere. One way to
find out would be to "call" Mr..
Murphy. The Senatorial nomination
does not promise to be worth much
in three-cornered fight, and SEN
ator Abeles doubtless has a natural
curiosity as to what is under the
Murphy wood pile. The public is
interested in having a square fight
in the two districts, and if Governor
Smith is trafficking with the Social
lists would have the fact known. So,
more than ever, it is for making
fusion the first consideration.

Representative Egoisn1
Faith 10 a Constituency Should Be
Put Fnst

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The danger OF permitting rep
resentative Of the people to feel that he
has perfect right to vote on any guess
ton to suit his own prejudices and feel
ings, and not as his constituents desire,
is serious one. This point is con-
tinually presented in connection with
the reelection of James Wadsworth to
the United States Senate. On the SUI
frage question he ignored the fact that
by majority of 10000 the voters Of
New York Stale place. themselves on
record as favorable to the enfranchise-
nent of women.
Far different was the action of other
Senators. For instance, when the Fed
eral suffrage amendment was discussed,
September 26, 1918, in the Senate, Mr.
McCumber, of North Dakota, said
II am compelled TO admit an unre-
lenting conflict between my owa con-
victions as to the merits Of extended
suffrage and what | regard as my duty
as q representative Of = state. My
own judgment is against the joint reso-
luton. But since 1914, by legislative
action. the State Of North Dakota has
become Il general suffrage state The
political platform of each and every
party has declared for the Federal
amendment. The State Legislature by
an almost unanimous vote has requested
its Congressional delegation to vote for
it. Yielding my own convictions to what
would appear to be the almost universal
sentiment of my state, I shall cast the
vote of the state rather than by my own
conviction on this resolution"
Under exactly similar circumstances
Senator Wadsworth held to his own
views. Do we put men in Office to four
ish their own opinions and advance their
own interests, or should representatives.
represent their constituents? l indorss
Mr.. McCumbers stand and | hope TO see
Mr.. Wadsworth taught, through defeat,
g lesson that he woefully needs 10 learn.

"The Glory of the Party"

In giving his reasons for his &C.
ton Representative Harry Burn, the
twenty two-year-o Republican who
cast the deciding vote for equal suf-
frage, says:
u desired that my party in both
state and nation might say that it
was Republican from the mountains
of East Tennessee, the purest Anglo
Saxon section in the world, who made
/, national woman suffrage possible at
this date, not for any personal glory
but for the glory of his party"
Political parties come in for hard
knocks. There is an element, rating
itself superior, which seems to re-
gard definite party connection as
in some way immoral.
But the call of the party is still
strong, and men and women respond
to it. For the glory of the party
many good things are constantly
done-there is a thrill of loyalty
which the mugwump never feels. The
party is conceived Of as personality
whose ideals are higher, perhaps,
than ones own, and it's repute is
jealousy protected.
The reason that the young Tennes-
seean gives for his vote is we'll worth
remembering by the new voters when
they are told that they should go it
alone as Independents.

ligible than ever this year, with the
vast increase in the total Of voters.
While the country is celebrating
the enfranchisement of millions of
women Mr.. Cox ineptly charges that

an insult to the public intelligence.
A candidate who has any confidence
in the appeal he is making to his
