the Republican Senator dismissed
these disabled men with an impat-
lent, "Oh, He'll"
The principal complaint the Amer

With the passage of this amendment,

SAMUEL SMILEY'S SAYINGS
The "Retired Statesman" Answers
Questions BY His Anxious Friends.

| find in my mail the following
questions from my former constitu-
ents bearing upon the national cam
paign:
Question How do Cox and Hard
ing compare with each other as can
didates?
Answer. Like a dynamo and a
hammock.
Q. Will Harding stick TO the front
porch?
A. What difference will it make
He'll be struck anyhow.
Q. What is a mandatory?
A. Boies Penrose. (You see, a
mandatory is somebody set up over
the weak or the helpless until they
can get up out of the rocking chalr.)
@. What kind of a peace would we
get by Harding's plan for declara-
ton of peace by Congress?
A. One-half of one per cent
@. Where is Trails End?"
A. After March 4 1921, it Will be
located at the White House.
Q. How did l like Franklin Roose-
velt's speech?
A. 1t convinced me that the Roose
T. R. Particularly | like that ref
erence to Governor Cox as the en-
gineer-candidate. 1t means candI-
date who knows what he's doing and
how to do it; in other words, II
means efficiency. Harding is an en-
gineer-candidate, too-stationary en-
gineer.
O. What did l think of Governor
.Coolidge's speech?-
A. 1t was very convincing IN one
respect. If Governor Coolidge pays
only $3.50 a month rent. any land /
lord who would charge Senator
Harding more than S25 a month IS
Drofteer.
@. Do 1 thing the Republicans are
consistent on the League of Nations?
A. Big Injun'' Bill Borah says he
wouldn't vote for the League of Ma
lions If the Saviour of Mankind were
to ask him. Big Brother" Bill Taft
saws he is satisfied with the league
covenant just as President Wilson
brought it from Paris, and at last
reports they were both for Harding.
Republican consistency on the league
is a jewel-the kind you buy at the
5 and 10 cent stores.
O. What do l think of the Repub-
lican plan for the campaign?
A. Recalling the election OF Sena-
tor Newberry and the way the can
didacies of General Wood and Gov
ernor Lowden were managed in the
late primaries and mindful of what
hear concerning the campaign tuna
"allotments," it looks to me some
thing like the Ponzi plan with re-
