DEMOCRATS
DIVIDED

Say what they will, the Democrats
are hopelessly divided already. The
nominee of their convention was the
choice of a faction. He is unaccept-
able to the Wilson contingent which
planned to nominate either Former
Secretary McAdoo or President VIII
son himself.
The convention took over the cove
nant of the league of nations issue
from President Wilson, but now finds
the party with a candidate unwilling
to be chained to the Wilson chariot
of Immortality.
Not to assume the burden of Will
sonism was to court defeat. To as
sumo it is to court defeat. Defeat by
either route. The Democrats are
hopelessly divided.
The Republican party, on the con-
trary, is united and enthusiastic. 1t
has only one leader, Senator Harding,
while the Democrats have two-the
President and Governor Cox.
Old Republican wounds have been
healed. The so-called conservatives
have come to realize that there is
great virtue in sane progressive laws.
The so-called progressives have come
to realize that there is no such a
thing as a reactionary. Progressives
and Conservatives have reached a
common ground of safe and sane lib
| eralism.
Facing a united and militant Re-
publican party, the Democrats expect
nothing but a complete wreck of their
hopes in the coming election.
