gressichal and presidential campaigns

forcing every aspirant for the White
House and every candidate for Com
gfess to go clearly on record regard
ing peace time military training
Senator Asburst has openly charg-
ed that the reason certain senators and
congressman are concentrating upon
the peace treaty as an issue is because
they wish to dodge the question Of
compulsory military training, says
the statement. Whether this he true
or not, there certainly has been dis
played in both the House and Senate
a disposition to postpone amy embar-
RAISING roll calls on this question un-
til after election.

tarism has kept out of the campaigns
heretofore, but BY an informal poll Of
its members. we are instructed to take
such steps as viii force both the maj
or political parties an all Of the candi-
dates clearly to state their position on

fident, will be an overwhelming maj
orly against the further extension Of
Prussianism in this country.

Mr.. Wilson, who will make his fight
entirely upon that issue.
At the same time, Wood and Low
den are out in from so far as the num-
Der of delegates secured is concerned

All the old-timers | know among
politicians and newspaper men will tell
you privately, if they trust you. that
that Harding is most apt to go under
the wire the winner But when pinned
down to it, they usually admit that the
reason they thank so is because the
Cd Guard always does pick the win
ner.
Shrewd men in both parties fear a
conventional split the Democrats
over the wet and dry issue, the Repub-
hcans over the League Of Nations.
After a good many years spent in OBJ
serving politicians and their ways be-
fore and after conventions, | don't
take much stock in predictions of a
split in either convention.
Borah and Johnson will not jump
the party traces, unless the conven-
ZION should endorse the League Of
Nations, which is hardly possible. And
Bryan viii not lead a revolt unless the
Democratic convention endorses a wet
plank in the platform, and don't be-
lieye that will happen.
However. it is true that a lot Of
delegates will go to San Francisco with
the sole purpose. Of making the Plat
form "wringing wet, and they might
do the trick, at that.
New Jersey, New York and Rhode
Island will surely send delegations as
wet as they make them and they
will have company from Pennsylvania
