Michigan is the first of the important states
to hold a presidential primary, and John son S
extraordinary vote in the industrial centers
shows that the labor element in the Republic
can party is thoroughly radical. 1t is as a
radical that the senator from California is
making his campaign.
The opposition to the League of Nations
consists of extreme conservatism and extreme
radicalsm, and as bitter-ender Johnson rep
resents the extreme radicals He regards the
League Of Nations as wholly bad and is against

soviet sympathizers, who in turn have joined

The senator is radical in other ways as
well. In his opinion, whatever is is wrong,
and he has set forth to capitalize the general
unrest and discomfort Of the country The

These would be dangerous. But as

think it has harmful negative in

lay doing in my crib, but some
thing about that word alarmed me.
What did he mean. wean him: A
baby's life is certainly full Of ad-
ventures. Something new all the
time. But l was SO drowsy l
couldn't stay awake long enough to
learn what a sad fate was in store
for me on the morrow. My 10
o'clock dinner time came but my
nanny did not. Instead she bus
led herself putting milk in bottle,
which she presently brought to me.
OF course l had taken water
from the bottle always. But milk
was a different proposition. / tried
it and it tasted funny. ! pushed it
away and demanded my regular
rations. But nothing doing. l
made considerable noise about it
and resorted to every eApedient to
! gain mothers sympathy, but to no
(, avail I had Hobson's choice Of
milk from the bottle or fasting. In
the end chose the milk. And l
was so tired out from hollering and
crying about it that as soon as l
had emptied the bottle l went right
to sleep and took my regular aft
ernoon nap just as though | had
! enjoyed my regular luncheon at
Old Doctor Natures Quicklunch.
If | harbored any hope that this
was temporary experiment my
hope was dashed the following day,
for instead of substituting the
bottle for one regular meal mother
gave me a bottle in the forenoon
and another in the afternoon. And
although l protested quite as vigor-
ously as on the preceding day it
was energy wasted.
The third day. alas. l had to ac-
cept three bottle feelings in lieu
of square meals. and so on day
after day until about a week. when
l realized that informal dinners
were but memory for me ard my
future was to be just one blamed
little bottle after another.
