REPUBLICANISM, NOW AND BEFORE

coming eleticon with Harding and Coolidge
as standard bearers then it would not be able
to win with any one. Two cleaner cut men
could nowhere be found than they and no
Republican will have to apololize for either
OF them and no Republican has any excuse
to criticise them They were the choice of
neither the old guard nor the progressves
but the choice of the delegates to the Re-
publican National Convention, irrespective
OF factions. Hi johnson and Leonard Wood
can work as earnestly for the election of the
ticket as can the colored delegates, who at
tended the convention, and with every body
working and pulling together Woodrow Viii
sonslm, including the crown prince, will be
blOtted completely off of the map.
Charles r.. Hughes was defeated four wears
ago first on account Of an arrogant set in
charge of his campaign headquarters. who
made up their minds that the small fry (?)
Republicans Of the West should have no
voice in the campaign, and in fact to them.
it was immaterial as to whether they voted
the Republican ticket at all as the East would
elect the candidate regardless of the West.
but the ides Of November told different
story, and we trust no such blunder will be
made this year and that Republicans all over
the country will be called upon to do their
full duty IF any Republican can carry
to handle Massachusetts has already been
thoroughly demonstrated AS a whole the
ticket is a most pleasing one and should and
will win.
Since we first saw the light of day Abra-
ham Lincoln was twice nominated and elect
ed. L. ). Grant was twice nominated and
elected. Rutherford B. Hayes was nominated
and elected. James A. Garfield was nom1-
mated and elected James G. Blaine was
nominated but defeated BENJAMIN Harri-
son was nominated and elected Benjamin
Harrison was nominated but defeated. VIM.
Mckinley was twice nominated and elected.
Theodore Roosevelt was nominated and elect
ed. William Howard Taft was nominated
and elected. William Howard Taft was
nominated but defeated. Charles Evans
Hughes was nominated but defeated and
Warren II. Harding nominated and on
trial. Since Lincoln s first nomination and
election the Republican party has been de-
feated four times, twice by Cleveland and
twice by Woodrow Wilson. In our opinion
the Democrats have little or no chance to
win this year with any OF the prospective
candidates thus far MENTIONED and it is
our further opinion that there is but one man
in all this land that would have ghost of a
show of winning and that is Gen. Jack PERISH
ing. and he does not seem presidentially am
bilious on Democratic ticket and he has
always been a Republican.
1t is now only believed that the three
Duluth Negroes assaulted that seventeen
year old girl but the Negroes are dead and
can not get the benefit Of the doubt how
ever "they were only niggers' and the
affair will soon blow over.
Once, twice Hi johnson has defeated the
Republican presidential ticket, but he will
have a darn hard time doing so the third
TIME and he had just as well quit sulking
in his tent over the results of the late
Chicago convention and get behind the
nominees
