"The Little Old Log Cabin. -
In addressing his home communit.
Monday Candidate Harding said:

In addressing his home community
Monday Candidate Harding said:
at is a little difficult to make a
choice among thoughts impelling. For
thirty eight years We have been
friends and neighbors here in Marion,
and only a few miles away are the
treasured scenes of birth and boy
hood. Some of them have been re-
called and recorded, very recently,
with touches of imagination, 1 fear,
because the real story is very ordi-
nary one which might be related con
eerning any of us, but that does not in
any way mar the understanding among
homefolk."
Probably Mr. Harding had in mind
particularly the log cabin story, which
he promptly disposed of. He was not
born in log cabin, but in a frame
house of modest proportions. He
spoke merely in the interest of truth.
But the log cabin was neatly intro
duced, and its designer and builder
had, and has, the true political in
stinct. He knows the public, and what
it demands. The log cabin played a
great part in the Harrison campaign
of 1910. It also played a part in the
campaign of 1860. Mr.. Lincoln was
born in a log cabin, and when he grew
up became a railsplitter. In the cam
paign of 1883 there were references to
the cabin which had figured in the
of Benjamin Harrison's
grandfather.
Neither Candidate Harding nor Can
didate Cox needs a log cabin in his
Their actual beginnings
and their progress make sufficient ap-
peal to those who like in their heroes
the story of triumph over difficulties.
Both men have worked with their
hands and made their way with their
brains. Both have had truly Ameri-
can careers. Both are of, and for, the
plain people.
Invention is not necessary in either
of these cases. The true narrative in
both is probably attractive enough,
and must contain many spirited epi-
sodes. Why not stick to the facts,
which in the case of the winner
either one-will show the ups and
downs of the long path from printers
devil to President.

Bryan "Hesitating."

Mr.. Bryan is going to do some front
porch communing with himself, like
Hiram johnson. He says "his heart
IL in the grave" The convention took
q long time to reach a choice and new
the people have four months to de-
eide. He proposes to use some of that
time for "hesitation." And so for a
time presumably Mr.. Bryan will be
silent. This will be somewhat un-
usual role, but he can sustain it. He
can do anything impressively. He
leaves San Francisco saddened by the
defeat of his efforts to secure plank
in the platform squaring with the
principles of the constitutional amend
ment and the enforcement act. He is
disheartened by the choice of can
didate whom he regards as "wet," and
whose nomination he believes was die
tated by anti-prohibition interests. So
somewhere on the circuit of his sew
eral places of residenee-Lineoln is
probably the coolest of the lot at pres
ent-he will sit and rock and think
If Mr.. Bryan were a smoker one could
see him, pipe in mouth, seeking solace
therefrom. 1t is not to be denied that
from his lips will later come words of
grave moment to the democratic party
Mr. Bryan is by nature and by all
tradition a regular. He is no bolter.
He has denounced bolting bitterly in
the past, for he suffered from it in
1896. But he can make a deal of
trouble without bolting. Perhaps, dur
ing his period of hesitation he will
think up some very pointed and awk-
ward questions to ask the nominee.

convention city and the entire stretch
of the country to the east is such that
the news of the party meeting was
greatly belated in reaching the large
centers of population this side of the
Rocky mountains. For instance, the
result of vote taken at San Fran
cisco at s o'clock in the evening did
not reach Chicago until 10 o'clock, or
Washington until IL o'clock, or New
York, owing to the state daylight-sav-
ing law, until 10 O'Clock. On the con-
trary, the happenings at Chicago were
so "timed" as to average up for almost
simultaneous announcement as per the
clock on both sides. San Francisco
and New York-the latter on account
of the aforesaid daylight-saving law
got the news of Harding's nomination
each two hours off the Chicago time,
San Francisco two hours earlier and
New York two hours later as the clock

ways to be remembered that only a
part of the delegates return home
from a big meeting of this kind with
light hearts. Something is to be said
of the weary way back over the plains

are now training back disconsolate.

Enough Ice.

1t is reassuring to learn that there
will be no ice shortage in Washington
this summer as there was last year.
During the hot days of 1919 the city
was on Such short rations of ice that
on several occasions it was at the
point of actual suffering. Only by the
exercise of the most rigid economy
were these crises passed. The trouble
arose from the lack of reserve stor-
age capacity. : Since that time, how
ever, the local ice companies have
materially increased their storage ia
cilities until it is now possible to hold
a reserve of 10000 tons of stored ice
in addition to the daily output. This
output capacity day by day has been
increased by 365 tons Thus, with the
plants working at full power, they
can more than meet the community's
demands in normal weather and can
almost meet them in the extraordinary
period of extreme heat. Thus the
health officer is justified in his an
nouncement that there is no danger
of such distress as was caused last
year by the inadequacy of the supply.

Ohio and New York Again.

Inasmuch as the head of the demo-
cratic ticket was named, according to
prevailing belief, by forces within the
party opposed to the administration,
it was good politics to nominate for
the vice presidency man who. has
stood for and with the administration.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the assistant
secretary of the Navy, undoubtedly
strengthens the ticket. He has, in the
first place, good name. He adds the
Roosevelt prestige to the democracy's
bid for national favor. And that is
undeniably an asset. He comes,
furthermore, from state of strategic
importance. New York is practically
essential to democratic success in No
vember. He is regular party man,
with clear record of fidelity. He is
a good speaker, who will aid his candi-
date in chief on the stump. He has
made good in an administrative Office
and his work during the war was of
importance and value. The democracy
at San Francisco did well in choosing
him and unmistakably improved the
outlook for party victory thereby.
New York and Ohio have been SINH
larly combined on the presidential
ticket several times in recent years.
Thus in 1875 Hayes and Wheeler and
in 1880 Garfield and Arthur were
named from those states, respectively.
In 1900 the republican ticket was Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt, and in 1908 and
again in 1919 Taft and Sherman were
chosen. This, therefore, is the sixth
time that Ohio and New York have
furnished the first and second names
on a national presidential ticket.

That Undelivered Grafton.

When Chicago failed to produce a
great convention grafton, expectation
turned to San Francisco. And now
San Francisco has disappointed.
True, Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Cochran
both spoke, and each had rousing re-
ception. Each was in good form. But
neither eclipsed himself, or did more
than entertain. Each lost his case.
The convention, for all the eloquent
pleading, would not allow either dry
plank or a wet plank in the platform.
But maybe the speech that was care
fully prepared and yet not delivered
was the one that would have met the
expectation.
This was the speech in praise of
Evening star., 1920-07-07

Mr.. McAdoo. A Missourian, without
national fame, was selected to pre-
sent the former Secretary's name to
the convention, and he set to work in
face of the fact that Mr.. McAdeo was
not only not an announced candidate,
but was objecting to the boom then
booming in his behalf.
But, the would be orator persisted,
and repaired to the convention with
the Grafton completed and ready for
delivery. But Mr.. McAdoo remained
obdurate, and the Grafton remained un
delivered. 1t is still locked in the
authors bosom, or wherever unspoken
addresses harbor.
Should not the author give it to the
pubhc' He yielded to Mr. McAdoo's
wish. But the convention is over, and
Mr.. McAdoo is not the nominee. No
harm could come to him from publ
cation now, and considerable relief
might come to the orator.
Let us have the unspoken speech,
so that the public may judge what
effect on the convention the nominat-
ing plan if carried out might have had.

Gov. Cox on Law Enforcement.

The San Francisco platform is silent
on the subject of prohibition, but
this is the attitude of Gov. Cox toward
the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act:
"The question before us now is law
enforcement. As the Constitution and
statute stand, they are the expressed
mandate of the people and must be
respected by public officers and clt1-
zens as long as they remain. There
is no difference between neglect of
the law by public officers and an at
tack against our institutions by the
bolsheviki. We contend, and properly
20, that there is no need of revolu-
tion in this country because we have
che governmental facilities to change
existing order by rule of the majority,
but we can hardly create the proper
attitude among aliens, unaccustomed
90 our ways, if public officers close
heir eyes to their oath and obliga-
ion."
The governor so expressed himself
n letter written only a fortnight
ago to a man in Missouri who had in
luired on the subject.
The wet cause will be played up in
the congressional races. Publicly or
otherwise, candidates for the Senate
and the House are to be sounded,
and particularly with regard to amend
ing the Volstead act, so as to permit
the manufacture and sale of light
wines and beer. If a majority of the
next Congress is favorable to that
proposition, measure thus drafted will
be passed and sent to the White House
for the Presidents signature.
Such is the program of the men who
desired, but failed to secure, wet ex-
preston by the democratic national
convention.
It may be seen, therefore, that the
vets are not desirous of having their
cause unduly stressed in the presiden-
tial part of the campaign. Their first
object is Congress. Their first ad-
vance viii be ON Capitol Hill if their
friends there are numerous enough
after March 4 next to encourage hope
At success.
10 the drys have notice, they will
probably meet the maneuver SO that
the contest for control of the Sixty
seventh Congress is likely to turn
largely on the prohibition question.

San Francisco's One Meeting.

A feeling is reported to prevail
among the delegates to the democratic
convention that a mistake was made
in going so far to the west for a meet

handsomely discharged its duties as
host. 1t entertained generously and
appreciatively, and provided as ade-
ouate facilities as any city can which
Is called upon to entertain for week
or so several thousand guests. But the
distances which the majority of the
delegates had to travel were so great
and the expenses entailed were so
heavy tina: there is a prevalent belief
that never again will the democratic
party-and that never will the repub-
lican-go such space beyond the
average of railroading. Furthermore,
