Sane and Conservative Political Statement

Sane ana CONSERVATIVE FONtlCaI otdteHioAto
How far the average eector is influenced by
hectic accusations and unfounded rumors still
remains undetermined by both political leaders
and observers. Although it is pretty generally
conceded that the American voter has gradu-
ated from the class of hindbound partisanship
and does his own thinking, his conclusions,
nevertheless, are influenced in degree by the
attacks which the candidates make against each
other.
The presidential campaign in it's early stages
promised to be free from petty and ridiculous
charges, but in the last few days both parties
have begun hurting inuendo and making charges
that are intended more for political effect than
for true presentation of issues.
Taken by and large, the American people, we
believe, have centered their attention on the out
standing issues Of the campaign-the league OF
nations, reduction of taxation, the return to nor.
n,alty in our industrial life and the regulation
Of illicit traffic in liquor.
They prefer an exhaustive and pointed pre-
sentation of issues that will affect the destiny
OF the republic to senseless wrangling over minol

Your attitude on the subject of the
one-piece bathing suit depends entirely
upon the way in which you look at it.

France as field of study of great
people in period of reconstruction
and restoration IS being commended
10 the progressive students of China
by such an authority as Wang Using
wei, founder of the Societe Franco
Chinoise. He advises his fellow coun-
trymen that the present is opportune
for study by Chinese in France to
learn from personal observation how
strenuous measures are in the chang
ing of national conditions. China, he
says. with its vast population and
area must. TO bring about anything
worthy of the name of reconstruction,
rely upon the efforts of many Chinese
to Introduce the new civilization and
TO bring China up TO date. He says
If China can send abroad 100000 stu
dents. then its motto should be 'Let

uneasiness or concern as to its effect

The generally received opinion is that
the Maryland delegates to the Ma

the nomination of Mr.. McAdoo at the

been a movement looking TO the sup

nomination of the latter in the end.
The Governor realizes that the leader

fallen on his shoulders by common
consent. and he is fully aware of his
responsibility in the present party

and party wisdom govern the action

mony and good feeling control the
proceedins. the Democratic party in
the country will go into the campaign

is apparently on the fence so far as
the wet and dry proposition is con-
cerned; although the drys claim him
as dry, while some OF his supporters
who are wet, claim that he is not so
dry after all. Mr.. Robertson's friends
claim that he has already won the

are on the other side say that there is
nothing to it but Goldsborough of a

The Republicans are holding the

here this week. and next week the
outlook is that the members of the
grand old party of moral IDEAS" as

midst of as hot a primary fight as the
State has ever witnessed. Already
he leaders of the old Republican
state and city machines are working
ike beavers. for there is no doubt but
hat they are alarmed at the outlook.
Senator johnson, that wild and reck-
less successor of Roosevelt. is coming
here. He has no organization. but he
has proved that he does not need an
organization to win State. He went

organization was ready for him, and,
as he said himself, he was without
money and without price" while the
other crowd had millions. and he
swept them out of his way and de-
stroyed them. And the Republican or

plenty. is literally quaking with fear

doubt of the fact that the Republican

One Day Late.

The women's club of the little town
where worked in a grocery store near
the depot had arranged for a we'll
known speaker TO give an address in
our theater one evening. The evening
arrived, the hall was crowded but no
speaker appeared, and everyone was
disappointed. The following evening
just after the train came in stranger
appeared in the store and asked where
Mr.. was to speak that night.
I replied that he was to have spoken
the night before, but added. The big
boob didn't come" Just then one Of
the leading women of the town came
in and recognized the man as the
speaker who had been expected the
night before. Needless TO say. soon
found work in the hack of the store
which needed immediate attention.
