ginning his career without great op-
portunity he has won deserved sue
cess by his own efforts on political
and business lines.
But he is a political product, and
representative of the senatorial inter
ests that took it unto themselves to
formulate the policy and name the
candidates of the party. The conven
ton wholly failed to recognize the
Progressives. In a Chicago dispatch
to The News was this:
"ln the history of the Republican
party, nothing quite comparable to
this convention is to be found. Never
before were the machine politicians so
bold, so determined to have their way,
regardless of cost, in order to bring
about the nomination of Harding.
Every sorto ideal was resorted to. Il
is asserted that no one has vet come
forward with denial that practically
all the political patronage of the ex-
ecutive department was pledged be-
tween 8 a. m. Friday and 9 a. m. Sat-
urday."
In choosing candidate for the vice
presidency, the convention took CAL

ticket and represents eastern rather
than western political thought.-In-

States Senator, will not save him. An
overwhelming Waterloo will be his
reward from the "Hun" Republicans
for being American enough to partic-

He will be crucified politically for his

the President; will be abroad on pri-

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

In the nomination of Senator Hard
ing as the Republican candidate, for
the presidency, the Senate cabal won
just as it had planned, fact which is
obvious to the most careless and In
different onlooker. The ,eabal also
dictated the PLATFORM and from the
beginning to the end was in undisput-
ed control of the convention. Mr..
!sDaugherty, the able and far-seeing
manager of tho successful candidate,
foretold the result months ago. To
him as prophet the crown must go.
The job was done, as he said it would
be, by the "tired men,, meeting N q
hotel room in the early hours of the
morning of the fourth day of the con-
vention, to decide whom the conven-
ton should be permitted to nominate.
Then it was, according to Mr.. Daugh-
erty, that Senator Harding's name was
to be presented--and accepted. So it
turned out. Harding was picked out
six months ago by, the cabal, because,
as The News correspondent has said;
sit regarded him as man who would
be satisfactory to the members of the
Senate should he be put in the White
House." ~ ,st
The prearranged, program was car
ried out smoothly. It remains to be
seen whether the Republicans will in
dorse this method of naming a candi-
date, and the rather striking ignoring
of the voice of the ,people---even of the
people of Ohio--as expressed at the
primaries. The ticket resembles the
platformFin ati least onefrespect, since
both are entirely eolorless. The action
of the convention puts the. Republic
cans in, the campaign without any
striking, definite platform assertion,
and they are further handicapped by
having a candidate who has no proved
constructive record on which to make
an appeal TO the people. Mr.. Hard
ing is undoubtedly respected and re-

PERTINENT POLITICAL PRATTLE
(By A. T. Edmonston.)

jefferson City, Mo-. June 22.-The
candidates. on the Democratic ticket
of Col. Geo. H. Scruton of Sedalia for
the nomination for United States Sen
ator; Col. Ruby D. Garrett of Kansas
City, for Governor; E. V. Heisserer Of
Benton, Scott county, for State Treas
urer; Col. James E. Rieger of Kinks
vile, for Congress in the First Dis
trict, and Col. Jacob L. Milligan Of
Richmond, for Congress in the Third
District, will have tendency on pri-
mary day, Tuesday, August 8, to draw
more than a majority Of the votes Of
demobilized soldiers to the Only Re-
liable Party. The "gop" ballot only
offers one candidate for a big honor
Col. Dwight M. Davis Of St. Louis,
who aspires to the questionable and
very uncertain glory of being the Re-
publican senatorial standard bearer
next November. ..
The Democratic ticket of primary
day offering five chances to vote for
former Missouri soldiers to the one
opportunity presented by the aggre-
cation in the race for nominations
from the Republican party which con-
siders it entirely proper and honest to
sell the Missouri presidential delega-
ton to the highest bidder, the indica-
tons are that eighty-five per cent Of
the "doughboy" electors of the state
will select the ballot Of the, former TO
vote, - III
Missouri supplied "a approximately
15O, 900 soldiers for actual service dur
ing the World War and nearly all are
back in the state. If this huge ag-
gregation votes on primary day, and
the outlook now is that all win, about
125,000 will employ the Democratic
ballot to express their choice for the
men they want to vote for at the, fall
election. If these den,obilized slough
boyspe go as strong for Col. Scruton
and Cois Garrett on primary day as
they intend to do for young Heisserer,
it will greatly worry the candidates
who are opposing those two. Col. Mil
ligan has no opposition and therefore
the Third District congressional nonni-
nation will be rendered him unani-
mously. Col. Rieger has opposition.
If the soldier boys rally to his cafidi-
dacy, as he thinks they will, he will
land the nomination In the Fist Dis.

NEW HORRORS OF WAR

A French inventor has produced a
new type of flying machine which does
not have the wide Widespread of the
old styles and which is capable of ris-
ing up direct from the ground without
a preliminary run, which can alight
vertically and which is able to hover
in fixed position and to 60 forward,
backward or sidewise at will, all at
high speed. This is what is known as
the helicopter type, with horizontal
propellers, to develop which to the
point now said to have been reached
has been the aim of airship inventors
for a number of years. 1t is easy to
see the great use of practicable ma
chine of this character in civil life.
Its ability to rise from and return to
q small spot by vertical action renders
the large aviation field unnecessary.
It car, make its home station on the
roof of a house or business building.
For instance, the mail ship from Chi
cago could land on the roof of the
post office instead of Swimming the
aviation field in Forest Park and save
all the time of transporting the mail
to and from the park. This has been
the needed invention to make private
ownership of airplanes practicable.
If this new alerion is al ii 81 claimed
to be, its development for the service
of commerce, transport and pleasure
will be rapid. Air navigation will at
once reach the stage of everyday
practically.
But its use in war is the thing
which the most attracts attention. The
bombing of cities and individual build
ings and ships will become an exact
science, when a machine presenting
so much smaller vulnerable and WISH
BILE surface can hover over the object
of its attack. send down trial objects
until it has the exact range, and then
drop its bomb of destruction. Had
Germany possessed such aircraft
London and Paris and the hospitals in
the rear of armies in France would
not have come through their air
bombardments with the comparatively
small losses they experienced. That
they would thus have been used there
is no doubt in face of the record made
of efforts to accomplish vast destruc-
tion in the cities and the 'extermina-
ton of hospitals. At the beginning of
the war it was thought that airships
would destroy dreadnapghts and other
vessels, but the handieap, Of being COM
PEELED to fly at great height for safe
ty and to aim bombs while in motion
negatived the potentiaiity Of bomb
dropping in navaly combat, but, with
bombing machines that can hover over
their mark until they have the exact
range, the almost immunity of YES
sells would seem To disappear. What
would have happened to our trans
ports and to our 1000, 1000 soldiers if
fleets of alerions had been able to re-
main stationary over them until they
were able to land huge TINT bombs on
their decks? .,.l
One of the statements made in con-
nection with this invention is that it
will tend to render war impossible be
cause of its destructiveness. That is
o fallscy completely exploded by the
recent war, If not before. Every new
weapon Of destruction has been greet

ed with the same prophecy, When the
Calling gun was invented soon after
our Civil war, peace prophets hailed
it as so destructive that armies could
not stand up against it, yet it was but
a toy compared with the machine guns
used in the late war, and how our SOL
diers faced those and swept them
away, at great loss of life, to be sure,
is proud story for Americans. When
the Vesuvius was built, with guns to
hurl dynamite, she was to destroy
Notifications at will and render de-
tense impossible. She failed to do
that, but the modern high explosive
shell did not fail, yet the war went on.
Hand grenades of the fuse type are
an old weapon. In the days before
modern explosives rgenades were in
vented, such a weapon would have
been declared able to render the de-
Tense of intrenchments impossible be-
cause producing conditions of destruc-
ton which defending troops could not
endure, but trench life under bombs
and gigantic shells was endured. The
limit of human courage has not yet
been reached. Space will not permit
the mention of the many scientific
discoveries which were predicted to
put an end to war by their destruc-
! tiveness, but war went on and still
goes on, 1t will go on in spite of this
new alerion and its horrible power for
| destruction.
+. NJ. House, the silent former adj
visor of President Wilson, has just
said that no war need be feared for
generation because of the exhaustion
of the nations and the lessons of the
recent war. No person living prob
ably has had better opportunity than
he to study the effects Of the war and
the destruction wrought, the financial
condition of the combatants and the
desire Of them all never again to havei
such an experience. On that side of
the question he speaks by the book
But he ignores human nature. There
will be wars in spite Of the recent hor-
rors and the present exhaustion. No
people could be more exhausted or
more impressed with the horrors of
war than the Poles. Over their land
the contcnding Russian and German
armies surged and resurged, destroy
ing billions of property and millions
of lives, Poland is crying aloud for
help to keep her people from starva-
ton, yet she is carrying on war
with Soviet Russia which, prior to the
gigantic world struggle, would have
been called large war. Other spheres
Of fighting exist throughout the world
and nations talk as beligerently about
their interests as they ever did. Even
the United States is engaged in build
ing the largest navy the world ever
saw as to the number and quality of
huge fighting ships. Nations will
fight in the future as in the past in
spite of the added instruments of

Hiesserer Is a Real "DOughboy"

Everything points to young Heis-
serer, now back in the banking BUSH
ness in Benton, Scott county, candi-
date for State Treasurer, as the DEM
ocrat on whom the rank and file of the
demobilized soldiers Of Missouri will
unite their entire strength, first on
primary day to nominate him, and,
then, on election day to put him over
by large majority. The main rea-
son is that he is real "doughboy",
the only one on either ticket running
for a big honor. The other soldier
candidates were all officers during the
recent European conflict and therefore
are not as close to the "doughboys" as
Heisserer is. Two opponents, John
II. Stone of Butler, Bates county, and
William o. Stacy, Webster Groves,
ESt. Louis county, will divide the votes
Fof those Democrats who do not look
with favor on a former "doughboy"
being highly honored by his party.
From Kansas City and st. Louis
comes the information that Demo-
cratic leaders Of these two metro
polises have already declared for
Heisserer without ever having met or
communicated with him, for the reason
that they are of the opinion that a
real "doughboy" on the next ticket
will prove a pillar Of strength on cleo
ton day. State Senator's Michael
Kinney and Joseph H. Brogan of St.
Louis and Tom Pendergast and Jo-
seph H. Shannon of Kansas City are
among those who have sent word to
young Heisserer that they favor his
candidacy.
Pro-Germans to Oppose Soldier
'nl Candidates.
, Democratic "Doughboys" and demo-
bilized officers who are seeking minor
nominations on the, Democratic tick
ct all over Missouri outnumber Re-
publican candidates who saw service
in the recent war three to one. This
is another fact which will materially
assist in drawing the "doughboy" vote
to the Only Reliable Party primary
day and keep it in line for the fall
election. since fully eighty per cent of
the soldierboy candidates on the DEM
ocratic ballot will be nominated.
The "gop" party of Missouri is full
ly sixty per cent pro- German and the
other. forty per cent American and
negro. It can therefore be easily sur
missed what will happen to demobilized
soldiers, still Republican, who are bold
enough to seek nominations from their
party at the August primary. Not

Both Sides Are Submitted To
Judiciary Committee On Sc

MERE TALK" SAYS KANE
New York Attorney General
Declares People Should Awak-
en- To Threatening Danger

Washington, Feb. 6.-Conflicting
views as to the danger to the United
States from radicals now in this coun-
try We're presented today to the house
judiciary committee considering anti
sedition legislation.
Francis H. +. Kane, former federal
district attorney at Philadelphia, who
resigned recently because he was not
in sympathy with Attorney General
Palmer's campaign against the reds"
told the committee much of the agita-
ton about bolshevism in America was
mere talk"
Attorney General Charles D. Nelson
of New York disagreed with this view,
declaring thousands of radicals, back
ed by a radical press, We're daily ad-
vocating the revolutionary overthrow
of the government and the establish
,ment of a dictatorship.
Congress and the people of the Unit
ed States should awaken to the dam
ger of the doctrines of these radicals
and take necessary steps to curb their
propaganda, Mr.. Newton said. Quot
ing various excerpts of the left wing
manifesto" published in the ''Revolu-
tionary Age" in July 1919, Mr.. Newton
declared moderate socialists were con-
demned while the more violent ele-
ment of the party sought a soviet
form of government, which would be
accompanied by a repudiation Of all
national debts.
This means no advocacy of repudi-
alton of Liberty bonds and all other
government obligations held by patri-
otic citizens who loaned the govern
ment billions of dollars in the time of
war" he added.
Such publications, he said, explain
the aims of the communists, the /. w.
w. and other radical organization
whom the pending sedition bills are
aimed. e-.--
/ TT is a call for revolution, the
witness declared, land unless congress
and the people awake to the danger
lit will be too late to stop these actfvi-
ties"
