Buyinu the Presidency

HE whole Republlcan pre-cOnrentlOn
1 campaign has been reduced to a sordid
money basis. Even the vrtuous and i'm
pcccable Hiram johnson, whose indignation
at the thought OF his competitors throwing
cash about at random, collected and made
use of $4,000 that his managers were
unable to account for off-hand. Other
sums spent by his people locally, par
ticularly in California. where il is said q
group of rich men went out to neutralize
the Hoover expenditures. But the Johnson
outlay palcs into insignihcance in COMPARE
son with what has been and presumably is
being spent TO further the Wood quest of
the presidential nomination. Even old-time
politicians who remember the Mark Hanna
barrel and had part in other campaigns
where money was plentiful stand aghast
at the revelations that have been made be-
fore the Senate investigating committee
When one man contributes $4,000 TO 4
campaign, as Colonel Proctor admits hav-
ing contributed TO that OF General Wood,
and still another UNDERWRITERS it in terms
of 100000. the race for the country's
highest political honor has passed beyond
the line OF decency and become mere mat
ter of purchase.
While the highwater mark of campaign
slush funds has been reached in the case
OF Wood other candidates are equally
guilty in intent II not in the gigantic pro-
portions OF available cash. Governor Low
den. OF Illinois, possessor OF millions. con-
trbuted nearly 100000 out OF his own
pocket TO pay for his campaign expenses.
Ii is no wonder. OF course, that the poor
man shrinks from participation in active
politics when such exhibitions OF money
spending as this are spread before the eyes
OF the country. OF the Lowden money
$4,000 was expended in Missouri alone, al
though not rnsss-meeting was held in his
behalf in the State, not brass band hired,
not q torch procession formed. not a line
OF advertising bought. and little or no cir
cular!zation OF the State engaged in. Men
cannot fail TO ask each other how it is pos
sible that a candidate for Office legit!mat.ly
spent s3s 600 in a single State and ye; did
not use one cent o: the money il the usual
way OF campaigning.
The obvious purpose Of the Senate inves-
tgation was 10 expose the high financing
OF the Wood campaign. Everybody under
stands that, and yst the revelations regard

most respects Is the truth about the Wood
candidacy. The whole group OF Republican

the people OF tho South proved for
all time the essential value OF tho
hard lessons OF tho war in unswcrv.
ing faith and loyalty. of endurance.
courage and self-sacriace. of ma

statement OF Row. Russell Cecil. ID. D.
night. DR.. Cecil was preaching tho
annual sermon, which is always n

Dr.. Cecil declared that tho men and
women who had borne the brunt Of
the War Between the States had hncp
a great blessing 10 the world. He
said that 1t was not in the least sur
pr!sinS that the sons Of tho mon who
had fought in tho war OF 1S6I-G5 had
borne themselves nobly in the world
war. since courage was legacy
from fathers who had fought n los
ing light against overwhelming odds
With "A courage which had mover been
surpassed.
He called attention to the fact
that the South had to meet tho prob
lens OF reconstruction unaided.
There were no supplies and no money
from outside sources TO expedite adj
1ustment of conditions. nor alleviate
the poverty of tho South, but, in spite
OF everything and to the everlasting
credit OF tho people of the South, the
southern people faced the problems
OF reconstruct!on with tho same faith
which had brought them through the
war and thus brought about. through
their own efforts, tho rehab ilitation
OF tho Southland.
Because Southern people were not
easily disturbed and were stnadfast-
~ loyal to cause which they he
i!cved worthy. DR.. Cecil declared that
the country was now beginning To
look TO the South for leadership in
civic, educational and national ar
fairs.
