national committeeman and one of the secondary flights" in the Harding cam paign; Charles D. Hilles, presidential sec retary under Taft. and national commit teeman from New York !. William Boyce Thompson of New York, rbig four dele gate to the republican national conNeh- ton, and one of the angels of the re- publican campaign; James A. Hemmen- way, former United States senator, and one of the bosses of Indiana, and Alvah H. Martin of Virginia, deceased formerly a power in republican politics.
 CONTEMPT OF MAN
 The contempt of the electorate has been displayed by republicans from the begin ming. In convention, they trfcsSed the delegates when the senatorial bosses, after secret conference in George liar yeys room in the Blackstone hotel, a conference which endured until o'clock in the morning, put over Harding whom the people, in primaries had repudisted, and who had proved himself unable to obtain 8 solid delegation from his own state.
 In convention they tricked Senator Johnson by accepting his League of Na- ticnS plank and then ignoring it, ana tricked William J. Bryan by promising to accept a prohibition plank and losing it in the hours of the night. Their contempt for the people was again shown in the fact that their nominee was the most re- aotionary of the group, not in that he was more polluted in "standpatisnl" than Senators Lodge Smoot or Watson or Wadsworth or Brandegee, but in that far easier than either of the others he could be manipulated by the bosses. He has proved the wisdom of the bosses Judg ment. They have done his thinking, and prepared his speeches. They have per mitted him to stray from Marion, and then jerked him back by means of the string they had attached to his leg.
 And this contempt of the people has continued to the end. Harding refuses to tell them where he stands on the League of Nations. He refuses to clarify a sit- uation in which Senator Johnson de- fantly quotes him to one effect and ex- President Taft to the directly opposite.
 CAMPAIGN OF HATE
 Tn ordinary times, Harding could no- win. But this year finds conditions en- tirely abnormal. The situation is one iii which racial groups threaten to defect through hatted, the channel of Amerf>an life.
 The Germans who hate the United States and President Wilson, who aided Germany in the war, or refrained solely through discretion, support the republican ticket.
 The negoes, who despse the south. and who are auadrennia1ly deceived by repub- lican tricksters into believing that an era of social equality is about to dawn sup pert the republican ticket
 The Irish, though in reduced numbers. support the republican ticket. Those whc remain steadfastly to the G. o. r. phalanxes have been deceived into beliey- ing that the League of Nations would rIvet a shackle about the Irish ankle.
 The republicans have played with deter imitation, with enthusiasm. to this un- American vote. And there is no question hut that in many states some of them pivotal, this un-American vote is more than the balance of power.

The essential value of "In the Track

it is n vivid and reliable description OF

Polynpsian races differ from other un-

other generation may have passed away.

Oregon's conscience fund was en-

in payment for two admissions to the
state fair last year which were not

to the fund was a letter Of explana-

Prohibition
Produces Brand
New Disease

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 19.-Prohi-
bition has produced a new mental
disease, according to Donald A. Nc
Donald, State Director of Federal
Prohibition.
And the new disease is proving one
of the most potent weapons of en-
forcement of the prohibition law, he
says.
Although he admits science has
probably not yet classified the new
mental disease, he has already given
it a name-phobia libatus.
"Phobia libatus is a compounded
term borrowed from the Greek and
the Latin" Director Mcdonald said,
expressing in phobia an unreason-
able fear, and in libatus an explain
alton that the fear is one against
pouring out sociable drink or TAX
ing satisfying draught from the
neck of a bottle I attribute this
phenomenon of the mental convo1u-
tions as directly traceable to the
variety of common moonshine whis-
key we have with US.
"At first this phobia did not exist.
Then a number drank freely, some
of them wood alcohol, and others
quantities of fuel OIL Some died and
others fingered in hospitals. The
quality of the liquor being sold was
not inquired into first.
Nov find that many persons will
not accept drink without signed
and sworn affidavit Of the antece-
dents of the beverage, and an abso-
lutte knowledge of it's origin. find
