THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The efforts made within recent
months to nominate some one at the
National Republican Convention in ad-
vance of it's assembling at Chicago
next week, have been about what
has been noted for many years past.
Each candidate has his organization,
and each tries to make the public be-
lieve it's candidate has the best chance.
Publicity management has been re-
duced to science, and statements
that seem logical are put out with the
intention of making an impression
upon the public mind. Sentiment is the
great power at national convention.
Get it started in the right direction and
1t generally concentrates upon some
one upon whom the hOnors fall. Some
times this sentiment takes up a dark
horse. This is what is liable to hap
pen at Chicago. With General Wood,
Governor Lowden, Herbert Hoover and
Senator Johnson leading with about
the same relative strength in popular
sentiment, the start of the convention
may be such as to make either one of
these four a possible choice. Then
will come the race for the dark horse.
There are several of these. 1t might
include ex-President Taft or Charles
Evans Hughes. What chances Taft
or Hughes may have cannot here. be
told. Both are stand-patters and may
not appeal to the new Mr.. Hays style
of politician. Mr.. Hays wants to be
progressive, but so far has not made
great deal of progress. He appears
to be gifted in saying felicitous things
that appeal, but so far he has not
united his party. There is no deny
ing the fact that there is tremendous
split in the Republican party. Posi-
bly, the convention will unite the fac
tons. 1t is to be hoped so, for the
Democrats with good man in the field
and the League of Nations as goal,
might have another chance to get con-
troll of the government.

In this great work of developing the re-

Our city is the leading Inland cotton

Memphis Is the leading cotonseed
