WHO RULED7

Something must have gone wrong
at San Francisco. To the outsider It
looks as if two factions were quarrel
ing, a third willy old bird walked off
with the prize. Wilson asserted, even
so late as the fourteenth ballot, that
ne was to pursue hands off policy.
he didn't care what happened at San
Francisco. At least he said that he
didn't. But the presence of only FIVE
members of Mr.. Wilson's cabinet and
a veritable horde of government Of
fice holders, district attorneys, post
masters and others somehow couldn't
dovetail with Mr.. Wilson's "hands off,
assertion.
On the other side of the fence sat
w. }. Bryan, weapons sharpened
against the administration league of
nations stand and earnestly advocating
a bone dry plank in the Democratic
platform. Perhaps he may have sue
ceeded in the league of nations fight
even better than he believed when the
interpretetative reservations" clause
went into the platform. At any rate.
no less an authority than the supreme
court could determine exactly what
the Democratic league of nations
plank really permits. Probably some
of our astute supreme court judges
would have to scratch their heads
more than once. But he certainly was
deciseively beaten in the prohibition
fight
Today, Bryan is sulking. He is OBJ
viously no longer master of the intra-
cicies Of Democracy; he can no longer
dictate party policies. Two admins
tration candidates. McAdoo and Pal
mer, were hopelessly driven to obliv-
ion politically, at least for the present.
Wilson, whom many Democrats ex-
pected to send word of final direc-
ton, evidently waited SO long that he
lost control of the situation or he
lacked the power generally conceded
him.
There is nothing less than a new era
in Democracy. Old leaders have been
thrown aside. Wilson and Bryan rule
no more. And in their place has come
Tammany. Of the three, Tammany
has least to commend it.

THE NOMINEES

Western Democras arealmost unani
nous in voicing, if not actual disap.
prevail. at least hesitant acquiesence
IN the nomination of Governor Cox
OF Ohio to lead the Democratic legion
this summer and fall. And we'll they
have reason to feel that the San Fran
nominate a man capable of inspiring
confidence among the rank and file OF
the party. For it is certain that the
Democratic party did fail to take ad-
vantage of peculiarly favorable sit
uation.
Warren Harding is not a particular
ly strong candidate. He is not nation
ally known to the degree that many
other prominent Republicans of real
presidential calibre are some Of
whom were sidetracked in favor of
the Ohio solo. Mr.. Harding, what
ever may be his tendencies, is gen
orally regarded as a reactionary. a
standpatter. He is leader to whom
the west will not go with enthusiasm.
But everything that can be said
against Harding is doubly true of
Cox. In addition, Mr.. Cox bears the
stigma of being a strictly Tammany
man, a candidate by the grace of New
York''s political machine. To the
average western man, Tammany
means political corruption, bossism.
Tammany thrived on the saloon,
reaching its grimy hand into the gut
ter to befriend a man that it might
ever after be certain of his vote, a
machine that has yet to give to the
world leader of constructive policy,
a program of merit. And yet it is this
power that placed upon Cox's brow
the wreath of Democratic honor.
However clean his shirts may be, this
stigma alone will cost Cox the west
with the single possible exception OF
Cox is ''moist" candidate. He is
not wet enough to please the person
al liberty" element OF both parties
and just enough enchrouded in a halls
of alcoholic vapor to solidly align
against him the entire forces of pro-
.hibition in the United States. And in
the light of recent events. it must b.
conceded that prohibition forces
working through the Anti-Saloor
League, is a power to be reckoned
with. That power will oppose Cox.
