New-York tribune., 1920-09-27
BY William Howard Taft

A Presidential campaign Is trying
test for any man, physically, mentally
and temperamentally. If man has
weaknesses it is likely 70 disclose them
to the public before the long four
mont ths are at an end. He has to bear
much injustice in partisan attacks. He
is under guidance Of managers on
whose taste or judgment he cannot
safely rely. He cannot speak his own
views on every subject, because he is
the responsible champion Of a party
on platform Of principles to which
he is in large measure limited and
bound to conform. He must avoid dec
larations on irrelevant though interest
ing issues which might prejudice his
strength as candidate in any quarter.
These things must be remembered
dat as lacking in candor or courage.
He is not free agent. He Is trustee
for his party. But in the end his cam
paign conduct helps the people to Judge
him.
The present campaign is creating q
contrast between Senator Harding and
Governor Cox, which is quite helpful
to many who were in doubt. The
Democratic papers have been full of
attacks upon Mr.. Harding, because he
conformed to the Republican platform
on the league issue and made his ac-
ceptance speech as lacking in definite
detail on his plans as the league
plank of the platform was. But in
out the platform declarations into
more satisfactory outline Of his pur-
pose. The same papers praised Mr..
Cox for his clear and straightforward
statement on the league, which mere
ly reaffirmed Mr.. Wilson's position in
favor of the league with article x or
no league" as the platform had done.
This contrast was held up as indica-
tive of the clear-headed courage of
Mr.. Cox and the absence Of this in
Mr.. Harding, but injustice was done
to Mr.. Harding.
Harding's Course Vindicated
Again the proposed front porch
campaign of Mr.. Harding has been the
object of ridicule by the Democratic
press. We now begin to see the wis
dom of Mr.. Harding's course. 1t has
enabled him to prepare careful, full
and clear addresses on the principal
and real issues of the campaign, and
then to deliver them, either to visiting
delegations or to an appreciative
audience like that he addressed at
Minneapolis.
No one can read these addresses
without being impressed with the con-
viction that they have been thought
out after study Of the basic facts and
with a real sense of the responsibility
which, as President, he must meet
They are not mere catchy bids for
votes. They show an appreciation of
the whole problem he has to solve.
They are not appeals to one group of
society in one speech, as if there were
no other groups t. be considered.
His speech to the farmers at Min
ncapols is 4 good illustration Of this.
His words show a real and earnest
desire to help the farmers with the
serious difficulties they have had to
face. bat he recommends no remedial
measures the effect Of which on the
consumer and the carrier he does not
weigh. He is not full of panaceas and
promises that cannot be fulfilled. His
thoughts are helpful and modest, and
must have convinced his hearers that
i in Mr. Harding they, will have a Presi-
dent who knows their troubles, and
New-York tribune., 1920-09-27

posterous charges he hopes to have
some of them stick in the minds Of
laboring men and farmers, and thus to
infame the unrest existing in many
quarters.
"He seeks to neutralize the hyphen-
ated opposition Of Irishmen to the
league and to the Administration by
promising to bring the question Of Ire
lands independence before the League
of Nations and to favor it, although
any reasonable construction of the
league makes such a course utterly in
admissible and would enable the Fill
pinos to take our dominion in the Phil
ippines before the same tribunal. In
deed, such construction would enable
the negroes of South Carolina, on the
principle of self-determination, to
claim a similar hearing.
Countenance to Radicalism
"He gives countenance to l. w. ".
agitation by saying at Butte that 'wher-
ever, you show me radical movement
l Will show you government that has
been unjust and oppressive'
No wonder The New York Times finds
these ebullitions of Governor Cox,
whom it is Loyalty supporting, 60 hard
to swallow that it refers to them as
things better left unsaid" The truth
is dawnlng on many that Governor Cox
does not deem the issue "the league
with Article X or no league" win
ming issue, and that he proposes to
make this fight one of radicalism
against the existing order. His utter
recklessness Of statement cannot other
wise be explained.
The contrast between the 'front.'
porch method Of campaign and that of
the itinerant agitator is one that will
Lecome more and more painful w those
who have been led to support Governor
Cox on the merely academic issue of
the league with Article x or no league.
