Senator Harding was absent from
or lodged l,l63 roll calls and quorum
calls while member of the United
States senate. In other words, in less
than six years, without any excuse
of long illness or without outside work
he took only enough interest in pub
lie questions to vote on about one
half OF the bills introduced.
Senator Harding introduced but 1874
bills in years, of which 122 were for
some form of local "spoils" or PEN
sions. Not single one OF the
eight exceptions were for a big ma
tional issue. His most important pub
lie bill was 10 encourage the teach

of party "spols" he voted with tn.

Not only did Senator Harding do
no independent thinking in his own
life in congress, but he opposed in
dependence in national life. On every
roll call he voted consistently against
the principal of selr-determination for
Ireland. In our own American policy
he voted against every bill giving more
self-government to the Philippines.
He opposed public control in war
times OF such utilities as telephone
wires, armor plate, paper and pulp

tax on excess profits and lauded Wall

CONTRADICTORY!

During the past week when representa-

the purpose of promoting still a larger trade
between this country and South America,
former United States Attorney General Wick
ersham made speech in which he said the
people of this country had done wrong when
they made the covenant of the league of
nations a party question, and that statement
calls to mind another statement which was
prepared some months ago by Mr. Wicker

will be so easily misled.
Victor Berger was more than socialist
he was seditionist. He was traitor to his
country He fought America from within
while our boys fought for America on the
fields of France
Mr.. Harreld was not asked to pass judg-
ment upon Berger's guilt or innocence. A
court had already determined that. He
stood convicted before the law. He had been
found guilty. Harreld tells us he merely
wished to wait until the appellate court
had affirmed the conviction, he wished to
permit Berger to sit in congress while the
law dragged its snail-like pace to the court
of last resort he wished to permit con-
victed enemy of America, an admitted friend
of Germany, to sit in judgment and raise his
voice in the making of the laws upon which
victory depended.
The most charitable construction one can
place upon Mr.. Harreld's action is that he
wished to give Mr.. Berger the benefit of
every doubt, that he preferred giving this
benefit to Berger rather than to America
Of course, his action will make him votes

of our own state opposed the war, who rose
in rebellion against the draft, who aided and
abetted Germany, will vote for him. 1t is

 MT Mudd stated yesterday that they expected to have the new plant in op- eration within six weeks.
