The Socialists.

The New York socialists have put a
state ticket into the field. Joseph D.
Cannon, organizer of the Metal Work
ers' Union, is the candidate for gov
ernor. He was nominated by acclama-
ton.
A division of opinion, however, was
shown in the matter of the platform
An expression in favor Of the "Dicta-
torship Of the. Proletariat"-whatever
that may mean-was defeated by a
vote of three to one. The word dicta-
torship probably grated on the ears
of the more conservative and polite
of the brethren.
In other states the socialists are
notwithstanding "front" wher-
ever a gesture seems advisable.
There is not a governor in sight for
these people in any state of the
Union. Nor does it seem likely that
they can, at most, hope for more than
one or two members of the next House.
At the same time it will be well to
follow their maneuvers and give at
tention to the deliverances Of their
| candidates. Socialists are perky at
present all over the world. The gen.
eral upheaval has encouraged them to
believe that their chance at last has
| come; that in the refashioning of
things, social, political and economic,
made imperative by the war, their no
tions can now hope for hospitality
and if aggressively championed be in
part established.
America is regarded by these men
as choice hunting ground. There Is
great wealth here, and never before
has there been so much unrost. Moro
over, the socialists Of other countries
are watching the American campaign
closely, and stand ready to assist to
the full extent Of their powor. They
are advised that 1t will not be easy
for them to "butt in," and they will be
cautious. But their sympathy is as
sured, and their American brethren
will show heartening because Of the
fact.

Mr.. Harding at Home.

Warren G. Harding's old friends and
neighbors without regard to party.
class. or condition, gave him royal
welcome home yesterday. He stood
before them, it is true, republican
senator in Congress, and the repub-
lican candidate for President of the
United States. But, first of all for
this occasion, he was the citizen who
had brought world wide distinction to
the community; and, naturally and
properly, the people were as one in
doing him honor.
Nothing was lacking to certify to
the wholesomeness and wholehearted-
ness of the demonstration. A demo
erat presided. Another democrat of
local influence was conspicuous in the
management The town turned out.
Everybody was in hearing or seeing
distance. A great success was achieved.
Mr.. Harding's address was in keep
ing with the occasion-a fitting ac-
acknowledgement of what the function
was testifying to. 1t was conceived
in the neighborly spirit, and expressed
in neighborly terms. Mr.. Harding
commands a generous vocabulary, and
marshals it in smooth and agreeable
style., He has drawn well as a lee
turer, and ranks we'll as a political
orator. During his one term in the
Senate he has made a place for him
self among the best speakers In that
body. Which is some praise. for there
are capital speakers on both sides of
the chamber. The peace treaty debate
developed the Senates oratory, and
smashed all rules forbidding applause
by visitors.
With his gift for expression, which
he exercises with ease, Mr.. Harding
will find it difficult to make his front
porch his sole stump in the campaign.
If there should come a demand for,
say, half a dozen speeches, delivered
at important centers in the debatable
territory, compliance would be very
likely.

from the same state, 1860, there was
a division in the democratic ranks, so
that there was little doubt as to the
result Illinois cast a majority of its
votes for Lincoln-the winner. In
1904 New York gave Roosevelt, the ma
tional winner, a very heavy majority.
Thus in both instances in the past the
states that have had two candidates
have voted for the national victors. If
this rule holds good in the present
campaign, as Ohio goes so goes the

Cox of Ohio.

After struggle exceeded in length
and stubbornness by only two preced-
ing conventions, the democratic party
has chosen its standard bearer ON the
forty fourth palos Its selection
falls upon Gov. James NJ Cox of Ohio,
a man of much ability and of high at
tainment politically, of clean life and
record personally, and as far as dis
closed in perfect accord with the prin-
ciples enunciated in the platform just
framed at San Francisco.
Gov. Cox, like his fellow Ohioan who
has been named for first place by the
republicans, is a newspaper editor anil
owner. In this respect he goes Sena
tor Harding one better, for he has two
papers to the latter's one. He has
served in Congress, like his eompeti
tor, with record of two terms in the
House, as against Harding's one and
not yet completed term in the Senate
He is now in his third term as gov
ernor of the state, of which Harding
was once lieutenant governor.
These likenesses will make the race
of 1920 remarkable in that there will
be no sharp conflict of personality be-
tween the two chief candidates. That
they will differ on issues is, of course,
assured. They will, perhaps, differ in
methods of campaigning. Cox is the
better "mixer," and his style of speech
is more colloquial than that of Hard
ing. He likes the offhand give and
take of the stump. There is little like
lihood of a "front porch" canvass for
him, but the whole stretch of the
country will probably invite him.
The manner of his nomination has
been unusual. Starting third in the
race, with the favorite well in the
lead, he won through to a good second
position, then to first and thence until
near the finish he and McAdoo were
seesawing. The anti-McAdoo forces
finally realized that their best and
probably their only chance to beat
him was to unite on Cox There was
no dark horse available.
In respect to personal popularity
the democrats have undeniabIy chosen
well. Gov. Cox will make a strong ap-
peal to the country. 1t is too soon to
reckon the effect of his leanings toward
the personal liberty" side of the wet
and-dry question, coupled with the
more emphatic rejection by the con-
vention of the bone-dry plank of Mr..
Bryan than that of the damp plank of
Mr.. Cochran. If pressed to the issue
Gov. Cox may be forced to state his
views in terms that will establish him
as the champion of modification of
the act of enforcement.
There is a chance, therefore, that
with Cox as candidate the democratic
campaign may turn upon prohibition
as the major issue. rather than upon
the league of nations, upon which the
administration has undoubtedly set it's
heart; and which the platform chiefly
stresses.
Evening star., 1920-07-06
Cheers and Tears.

"Put not your trust in princes"
Nor in n cheering multitude.
Mr.. Bryan seems unable to learn the
lesson. Naturally enough, he was mis-
led in 1896. He was having his first
experience then as his party's national
leader. When the people gathered in
gl eat numbers and made his stumping
| tour continuous ovation, he could
read in his receptions only victory at
the polls.
Four years later he was as rap
turously acclaimed wherever he
stopped. and again he closed his cam
paign supremely confident of success
| on election day.
Eight years later still--in 190S-he
swung around the circle and found
enormous crowds awaiting him. Again
he closed his campaign with the feel
ing that the people were with him,
and would vote as they had been
shouting.
He had been speaking on the sub
ject of prohibition for several months
prior to the San Francisco convention,
and arrived at the convention certain
of his abilit. to insert dry plank in
the platform. He was so quoted in
interviews. His confidence, of course,
was based on the responses he had just
been receiving to his stump appeals.
He did not doubt that he had stirred
the people to the point that they would
bring pressure to bear on the conven
ton for straightout dry expression.
Then, for the fourth time, came the
experience. The convention cheered
him to the echo. Large numbers of
delegates paraded about the hall in his
honor. Everything was Bryan-but
the votes. Only a hundred and fifty
odd of the thousand and ninety odd
delegates recorded themselves in favor
of his proposition. No wonder he
wept.
As an orator-an entertainer-Mr.
Bryan ranks with the best. As a vote
getter, he lacks class.
