With the view to satisfying the

party in West Virginia, ii has been
suggested that Govcrnor-clcct T.. r.

ROOT NAY Be SECRETARY OF STATE.

| Elihu Root is being pushed for
! Secretary Of State. 1t is evident
| that the movement for him is con-
sidercd formidable. because it is
being charged against him that his
candidacy is "a plot Of New York
brewers"
The selection of Mr.. Root by
lPrcsidcnt-clcct Harding would mean

The League Of Nations perhaps
under modified terms. but under
some terms. 1t is said that Senator
johnson and Borah believe that
Mr.. Harding has thrown himself
into the arms Of the pro-Lea9uc Gle
mcnt Of Republicans. They fear
that despite Mr.. Harding's dcclar-
atoms on the stump against the
"Wilson" League, he is preparing
to 90 into il. or into some League
of Nations. The unexpected
strength shown by The League now
in session at Geneva and the en-

thronging Of other nations TO knock

We advise our Republican
friends. now shouting themselves
hoarSe rejoicing in their incApliC-
able victory in November. on which
they are reckoning for a long lease
of power. to look back Z few years
consider other political triunphs
and see how Short-livcd have been

In 1872. when President Grant

cans. as his opponent. he Yves Wis
toriouS by Il plurality OF S9G.99l !,
an unprecedented figure for that
day, and received 28% electoral
votes to only 63 for The opposition.
But two wears later. in 1874. the
Democrats swept the country. gain
cd control of Congress. and in
! 1876 secured a plurality of DO
{ $50 in the popular vote. II was
only by fraud and Il single cleo
/ turHl vote that they were dcpriN-
! cd Of the Presidency. and that vote
secured by the vote of partisan
Judge Of the Supreme Court.
| When President GariicidwaS elect
cd by trilling plurality i'll 1880.
! he carried Congress with him. and
! The Republicans secured lI6 seats,
rs against l3S for The Democrats.
Yet two years later the Democracy
ing Congress by 1913 to 12l, and in
1881 they secured the Presidency
and strengthened their grip on the
! House of Representatives.
Though defeated in the popular
vote Benjamin Harrison secured
233 electoral votes in 1888 to 1863
for Grover Cleveland. In 1880 Il
Democratic landslide almost swept
the Republicans out Of existence.
and their representation in Con-
grcsS was reduced to beggarly
SO, as against 23G Democrats. This
great triumph was followed up in
1892. when Cleveland dccisivcly de-
fcaicd Harrison. and both the Sen
ate and House were Democratic by
substantial majoriticS. Yet so tickle
is the favor of the American
electorate that only two wears later
the Republicans came back with a
rush. and in 1896. thanks to the
persuasive power Of Mark iianna'S
ampaign fund, they entered upon
their 16 years control of the gov
crnment. ended by Woodrow Will
son in 1912.
| II is clear from these sudden
mutations of party supremacy that
no party can count confidently up
II any prOtractcd tenure of Office.
Never were American voters so
tickle as they are today. due pos
| sibly to the fact that millions are
voting who are too illitcratc and
ignorant TO know what they are a.
bout or who have nothing at stake
and therefore feel no interest in
election results.

The Correspondent then adds:

that there would be no difficulty
