Is more@nncertain than the presidential con-
test. Harding is likely to get safe plur-
atty. IL he polls q very large vote he
will carry Senator Watson through with
him. Watson, however, by his course in
the Chicago convention, offended many In,
diana Republicans who wished General Wood
to be nominated, and Thomas Taggart, with
his powerful Democratic machine, has been
doing his best to keep this bad feeling alive,
so that It may increase his own strength in
the senatorial fight. The success Of Len
root Cummins and Watson seems to be de-
pendent on the ability Of Harding to pull
them through. II there Is to be Repub-
lican landslide today they are certain OF
election.
The Democrats have been making hard
fight on Senator Wadsworth in New York,
but they started wrong by nominating
weak candidate in the person Of Lieutenant
Governor Walker. Wadsworth will lose the
votes of some Republican sufragists, but the
political observers say that this loss will be
more than compensated for by the Demo.
cratic votes which, will be polled for him
by electors who object to Walker.
In Connecticut the contest is over the re-
turn Of Senator Brandegee. He is OPPOSED
by a League of Nations Democrat, but the
regular Republican strength is with him as
the organization candidate. His party, which
indorsed the league in its convention, re-
nominated him because of its liking for his
abilities and for his loyalty to the interests
of the state. While his election could not be
interpreted as an Endorsement Of his ire
concilable attitude on the league, his defeat
would be condemnation Of it. The fight
on him does not endanger Harding's pros
poets, for Harding is likely to have a safe
plurality.
While the crowds which will await the
election returns tonight will be interested
chiefly in the general outcome, there will be
some who will think it worth while to look
for indications Of the verdict on those special
features of the contest we have indicated.
And It is in those features that signs Of the
temper Of the voting public can be found.

AFTER THE SHOUTING

IF YOU wasered money on a losing cnndi-
date you may have some reason to grieve
when the returns are in. Otherwise, you
need worry not at all The country is bigger
than any man or any party. 1t draws its
Inspiration steadily from the hearts and
minds of the millions Of good -humored, in
telligent, courageous and generous people
who make up its citizenship. 1t will go alorg
maenifcenty, no matter who wins.
He will be wise man and good citizen
who remembers this today. The next Presi-
dent will have hard four years. He will
have to face enormous and perplexing tasks
without precedents to guide him. He will
have to turn often enough to look for guild
ance to the people. to benefit by the wisdom
that is never absent from collective opinion
In the United States. Resolve to get behind
him, no matter who he may be. And make
that resolution now before the returns are in.

there will be some who will vote one way or
another simply because their husbands or
fathers vote that way. But / think the
women's vote will be largely intelligent.
am sure it is going to be most important in
its effect on returns throughout the country
Throughout our tour we emphasized the i'm
ticket. Some one in astonishment asked me
II would vote for Penrose when l knew
he stood strongly against suffrage. My
answer was that many of our women were
against suffrage. Could l hold out against
one man because of that? Besides, we have
the vote, and the struggles of the past are
forgotten. We had no part in the primaries.
Our part now is to stand BY our party.
After election we can study personnel and
see that our men live up to the high

FIGHTING THUGGERY

TNDWIN S. WARE is shocked at the
~ rumors that anything like a repetition
of Frog Hollow tactics is to be attempted in
downtown Philadelphia today.
This mental attitude is instructive to the
Moore administration. which is determined
that the contest in the First Councilmanic
district shall be conducted in a fair and
orderly fashion. The police will be on the
lookout, for gunmcn and imported thugs.
Now that Mr.. Ware has expressed his
repugnance to such persons, it is difficult
to say why plans to increase the vigilance Of
the law should be distasteful to him. II the
downtown machine regrets Frog Hollow
and pangs on that theme are not unimag
-inable---thanks for the watchfuness of the
new city administration are really in order.
When the Wares announce such gratitude
their sincerity will be absolutely unimpeach-

PARIS, Aug. l6,-- Warsaw was still
holding out last night as far Al Is
known, but the battle raging under
the walls Of the city Is increasing IN
violence. From the vague and scant
news reaching Paris the Poles are
making a good fight, but seemingly
all they can hope fol is to delay the
fatal hour Of the city's fall, The reds
are continuing to advance and have
reached a point less tlan ten miles
from the capital.
Military opinion in Paris does not
visualize haw any counter-offensive
operations are possible in the Warsaw
region now, except in the event,
which is considered most improbable,

HOW MUCH MONEY is NEEDED
FOR A YOUNG MAN TO
GET MARRIED?

OWillS w thG PiSoCiis hASi S00N ~
living and the race of fashion, young
man cannot take the risk Of marrying
without a little money ahead and a
good salary, say four men questioned
on the subject.
Many youths are applying to the
county clerk for licenses when they
don't even have enough money to pay
for a ten-day honeymoon. They take
one day off work, get married and are
settled for life.
Is it safe to marry without a bank
account?
w. O. Harris, cashier of the Amer
lean National Bank, says that the
average young man should have ST.
900 in the bank and be making at
least $50 a week before attempting
the luxury or burden of marriage.
Mr.. Harris says he knows of cases
where young people get married with
less, but he does not think it safe.
He says that the more intelligent a
man is the greater risk he can take
in marrying without money ahead
But the grocer gives a more en-
couraging estimate of the amount
necessary to get along. Malcolm
Smith, Of the Smith Grocery Com
pany says that he knows several pros
porous couples who get but $25 a
week and are saving money. He says,
however, that they are having hard
time trying to make ends meet.
While Mr.. Smith should be in q bet
ter position to speak on such sub
iects than many, his estimate seems
rather low to others.
| It may do very well to "just live
on" but when. fellow gets into
trouble $25 q week isn't safe, in the
opinion of w. A. Shay, who puts the
amount at nothing less than $3.50 a
month";" which would be about $SS a
week. The sheriff says it is hard
matter to figure out how much a fell
low should have, as there are SO
many different kinds Of young men.
"There is going to be third mem
Der of the family before many years, T"
says the sheriff, $50 a young man WHO
has nothing saved up should not
think of marrying under $3.50 a
month";" He agrees that one could
/ live on less than that if for but a
few months.
| Preachers have another idea. Rev.
w. ]. Lankow, pastor of the Evangel-
ical Lutheran church, says that while
he married with much less, young
man should have at least $500 saved
up and be making $25 week before
coming to him or any other preacher
to ask that the solemn ceremony be
| performed.
A young lady questioned on the
matter Cher name is withheld on re-
quest) says that ''if young man
and the right kind of girl love each
other, they can get along on $25 q
month, easy" However, the young
lady has never been married and
might tell different story after a
few years of married life.
/ Rev. Lankow said that he did not
want to discourage anyone. It's VI
to the individual, he says, to take a
chance anyway.-Coneord On. H.
