No Easy Time for Harding

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: AS reader of The Tribune I
feel that have the privilege Of yoicing
my sentiment concerning the regent
nominations among the other COM
ments appearing on the editorial page
Of The Tribune.
Now that the Democrats have nomi-
mated Cox real fight is impending. If
Cox should win Ohio, and he has a good
chance Of doing it, for he has carried
it three times, he will have an, ex-
cellsnt chance for the Presidency. The
Republicans must get ahead and make
sure Of that state. Harding is not going
to have such an easy time as some
think, for while there is nothing against
the man himself, he is an "old guard"
standard bearer, and this is black
mark against him not easily erased.
There may be no use crying over split
milk, as some have said, but it is time
to let Penrose's group of .'old guarders"
know that good many Republicans do
not like the way they run the conven-
tions.
Leonard Wood Vas not the man to be
controlled by few scheming politicians
such as compose the "old guard" crowd,
and that was the very reason Wood was
not elected nominee of the Republican
party. The "old guarders" do not belong
to the progressive part Of the Republican
party. They fought against Roosevelt
and against his principles. They have
caused two big elections to be lost,
If McAdoo had been nominated by
the Democrats I, for one, would be :
stanch supporter, and as it is 1t will
take good deal Of persuading for me
to swallow the "old guard" dose and
vote for Harding.

a Warning to Republicans Against
Hard Fiigff Ahead

Hard Fight Ahead
70 tho Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir: Ths Democrats have picked
from their aspirants the strongest pos
sible candidates. Your editorial July
6 on overconhdenee is timely and will
need to be kept In mind until Neven-
ber.
Conditions have changed to such an
extent since 1915 that it would be Inn
possible to make any estimate Of 1890.
Then there were about 18,5o0,000 ball
lots cast, with Democratic plurality
Of about 100000 and a majority Of
twenty-three Presidential electors. But
with from 14,ooo,0oo to 1s,ooo,ooo new
voters it would be impossible to deter.
mine which way the balance may
swing.
While the Presidential election holds
first place, yet larger working ma
jority is sadly needed in the Senate,
and to aid the Republican administra-
tion must be secured.
While | hope and believe that Hard
ing and Coolidge will be elected, it
will be necessary for each Of us to do
MS share OF work. A. r. D.

Poland's Setback

Poland's military setback may be
only temporary. On the right wing
Of their long line the Poles are get
ting back toward the old German de-
fenses. Budeney's Russian army,
which has had such remarkable sue
cess west Of Kiev, is composed large
" of cavalry. 1thasfltered through
the Polish lines at many points and
compelled a general Polish with
drawal. In recent infantry opera
tions Pilsudski has more nearly held
his own.
Poland has been censured in many
quarters for continuing to fight So
Wet Russia. The Peace Council cre-
ated the Polish state, but didn't fix
Its eastern boundaries. Poland was
exposed to a Bolshevist attack and
decided to do her fighting, if there
was to be fighting, as far to the east
as possible. The Allied Council has
done little or nothing for her since
the peace conference ended. Yet the
erection Of a free and strong Poland
was one Of the chief aims Of the war,
and even figured conspicuously In
the celebrated Fourteen Points.
The Allies cannot afford to have
Poland overrun by the Soviet
armies, 1t was the great tragedy at
Paris that so much time was spent in
creating League Of Nations and SO
little given to guaranteeing Frances
security on the Rhine and Poland's
security on her eastern frontier.
These two states would be the natu-
raj bulwarks Of peace in a reorgan-
lied Europe. Long delays in the
vital work Of peace settlement have
weakened the interest Of tho West
ern Allies in Poland's future and
minimized their capacity to aid her.
Aid should be given generously now,
for .Poland's collapse would wreck the
Versailles Treaty and put capstone
on the blunders which have hindered
it's execution and have plunged Eu-
rope into new series Of wars.

Republican character Of the ratifca-

question is whether the women Of

Vermont and Connecticut should
therefore join the procession. The
Republican legislatures Of both
these states are declared to be in
favor OF the amendment. The re-

is simply that Of calling a special
