"BACK TO THOSE GOOD OLD
TIMES"

The two republican candidates
Senator Harding wants to get bark
to normalcy" and Coolidge hopes that
we will soon have a restoration of the
old times.
Well let us see about this. Both of
these gentlemen are the candidates
of the "Old Guard" and must there
fore voice the wishes Of the "Old
Guard" The normally of "Old
times" Senator Harding wishes to get
back to is that OF the good old. gold
en- Mark Hanna days. when an "Old
Guards" campaign fund exceeded
S16.OOO.O0O; when a price was paid
for elections; when employees at great
Industrial plants were told by their
superintendents. the agents of special
interests, that unless they voted as
they (the representatives OF special
interests) wished them to vote. their
Jobs would be closed to them on the
day following the election: they were
the days when corporation task
masters wrung immense dividends
from tho very blood of women and
children employed In unregulated
"sweatshops."
On tho other hand. in tho days OF
''normaiey," In tho "Old times." prod

THE SACRED CANDIDATE WILL
NOT "RAENSTnRNI"

public has false conception Of the

that there will be mo transforming"

Senator Harding will not behave him
self So unscrmiy
But little Willie docs not take the
public into his confidence and tell
them what is the reason of this
change in republican tactics, for it
has always been kept before the eyes
OF the people that the gop candidate
would rot go away from home during
the campaign. but would sedateIy ex-
press his views on campaign issues to
delegations that would journey 10
Marion and sit or stand beneath the
front porch. The candidate was to be
invested with the character Of an or,
acle whose pronouncements-an
they have been sufficiently cryptic.
gramic too--it would be worth the
pains Of travel to hear, or Of an idol
TO whose seat it would be politically
pious To make pilgrimages. Some
right to defGrence and reverence on
the part Of humble and uncnlightcn-
ed voters would thus be vested in the
faithful party servant exalted TO party

holy oil OF Penrose, and certain eIc,
ments Of aloofness and mystery must
not be wanting to the manner and
habitat OF the oracle or idol
But it has been deemed expcdient
TO change this program and carry the
sacred candidate forth among tn,
people 50 that the common multitudes
may meet him face to face. cast their
eyes on him and hear his voice, see

SO far as visible signs are In evil

any special enthusiasm in this part OF
Missouri-and there are no indications
that it (they) will. So it would seem
is the case in other parts OF the
country for among many others that
great journal, the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. which while it is trying hard
to support Harding, is still tor the
League of Nations and supporting
that proposition vigorously says:
Harding will not arouse any tre-

nation b. rallying it to take a noble
stand on the rotted platform of The
Hague tribunal. the most pathetic
failure in history"
Ii that amazing effort has aroused
any enthusiasm anywhere. 1t is. not
yet visible.
But let's do Senator Harding's rep

Of believing that he doesn't really

for organized and ordered peace, he

Tho Women Are Now EouaI

A Kansas City policeman had the
nerve to arrest a woman in that town
the other evening because she pulled
long plug OF tobacco out OF her
pocket and took a chew in his pres
ence. The police judge very prompt

the policeman lecture. Women have
a perfect right to chew tobacco and

Harding Speaks Out Boldly

Senator Harding has at last said
something that is bold. fearless, clear
as a bell and which cannot be sue
cessfully disputed. Evidently without
consultation with Chairman Hays, or
Senator Penrose. or the campaign
committee. he comes right out and
in tones that carry conviction to the
mind and a thrill to the heart de-
clares: THE history OF civilization
is very interesting story."-Nodaway

As Often as His Shirt

Cox hits straight from the shoulder
and talks to the hearts as well as the
minds of his hearers. Roosevelt puts
himself on friendly terms with his
audiences and talks a language they
can understand as easily as they can
understand Governor Cox. Senator
Harding shifts from one foot to the
other and changes his mind as often
as he changes his shirt. What he
says is less like speech than a po-
litical shimmy.-Bethany Democrat.

THAT COP VICTORY IN MAINE


When the result in Maine last week
was annOunced-and turned out Just
| as any man who carried gray matter
instead of mustard seed in his brain
pan knew that it would-little Willie
Hays let out loud whoop of exulta-
tion and dramatically roared:
THE north star of the union re-
mains undimmed. Maine continues
American"
Maine has sunk its knife to the hit
into the league Of nations covenant.
And the act. according to young Mr.
Hays, entities Maine still to be recog-
nized as an American state.
Had Maine. by its vote. indicated
It's desire that the United States
should join with the other civilized
| nations in an agreement not to do
the things that cause war but to do
the things that promote peace, then,
it appears, the republican party
would have proceeded solemnly to
read Maine out of the Union.
Had Maine signified that it stands
| today where every loyal American
stood when this country entered the
great war, to fight that war should
be no more, then the clover young
Indiana politician who presides over
the republican campaign would have
branded Maine as "un-Amcrican."
1t is this stage to which the repub-
lican campaign has come: Support
