Republicans al Sea.

With the Republican national conven-
ton less than Il fortnight away, the
leaders OF the grand old party" are
iounderlng around hopelessly for issues
on which to go before the country in
the presidential election next fall.
Having frittered away the last fourteen
months as the majority party in both
houses of Congress. without having en-
acted one piece of constructive legisla-
ton. but having devoted the major part
OF the time smelling around in vain
search for wrongdoing on the part of
the Democrats in the conduct of the
war, Lodge, Penrose. Borah, Johnson,

substantial reasons in the platform to
be adopted at Chicago why the conf
dence of the country in taking their
promises of 1918 at face value was not
misplaced. The Republicans are on the
defensive and so far as is known the
party is not committed to even single
proposition, except the rejection of the
peace treaty, which they lack the cour-
age to undertake to make an issue.
Perhaps the platform will reiterate the
party's belief in the protective tariff,
but as an issue the tariff is dead; the
country has no stomach for the subject.
OF course there will be the usual point
ing with pride to the party's achieve
ments, which in this case means moth
ing. So the platform will necessarily
contain much about Democratic ineffi-
ciency," charging the administration
with the high cost of living. Right
there, however, appears the death s
head at the banquet. for the country is
certain to want to know what laws have
been passed by Congress during the last
year to protect the people from the
profiteers and grafters. The Republi-
cans must present a progressive plat
form, based upon party accomplish
ments during the last year, otherwise
the country will be slow to indorse its
candidates.

Stealing i'm Georgia.

Not content with stealing from Mr..
Palmer the delegates he had won in the
preferential primary few weeks ago,
when he defeated Hoke Smith and Tom
Watson for an instructed delegation to
San Francisco, the Georgia Democratic
convention went a step futher last week
by passing resolution expressing op-
position to the League of Nations and
electing Thomas w. Hardwick one of
the big four" to the national conven.
ton, thus giving aid and encouragement
to the Republicans one would not have
expected from any body of men calling
themselves Democrats. SURPRISE would
have been universal had these things
happened in South Carolina. Comlin-
ing their forces, Smith and Watson.
who are most of the time about as far
apart politically as the poles are geo
graphically were able to dominate the
convention and deprive Mr.. Palmer of
the delegates he was entitled to. At the
polls more than third of the voters who
took part in the primary supported the
attorney general. In all fairness he
was therefore entitled to at least one
third of the delegates to the national
convention ard It is nothing short of an
outrage that he is thus deprived of the
fruits of the victory he had fairly won.
For reasons of eXpedency Mr.. Palmer
may not be the most available candidate
tor the party nomination. but that is a
matter for the national convention to
decide and it furnishes the Georgia
convention no excuse for turning thief.
Mr.. Palmer is an honest, able Demo-
crat. who has fought for the party in
his native State, Pennsylvania, without
further hope of reward there than q
seat in the national house of represen-
tatlves, which he filed for several wears
with credit to himself and in a way
that commended to the country tn.
good sense of the constituency that
elected him. He is entitled to and
worthy of fair treatment at the hands
of every fellow Democrat in the coun-
try. 1t is reflection on the entire
South that he should have been the vic
tim of the Vaccinations of crooked pol
lticians in Southern State.
Almost of a piece with the treatment
OF Mr.. Palmer, however, was the ac-
tlon of the Georgia convention in follow
ing the leadership of Thomas w. Hard
wick and sending to San Francisco
del cation, with Haidw.ck at it's ht ad,
bearing resolution expressing unalter-
abb" opposition to the League of M
tions, submitted to the senate by Pres
ident Wilson as "a part of the Yer.
saillcs peace treaty. This is the same
Thomas w. Hardwick who in the last
election of United States senator in
Georgia was lngloriously beaten for re-
election by Senator Ha rs, largely be-
cause of his alleged disloyal utterances
and his aiiiliation with the Republica s
in opposition to war measures advocat-
ed by the president.

OTHER VISITS T0

Success Of Yuma Excursion Makes Business Men En-
 thusiastic For Another
 Much Good Done By Trip

So successful was the excursion 10 Yuma. which represented combined wealth of $160, ,00D,o00, that 1t was am uounced by the Phoenix chamber of commerce yesterday that other excur- sions to neighboring towns and cities will be made this winter and spring.
 The Yuma excursion party returned to Phoenix yesterday morning, enthu- siastic for more excursions of d simi- lar nature. It was the consensus of opinion that Phoenix, by paying it's respects to other communities as 1t did to Yuma, on Thursday, would be the means of Strengt hening friendship ties and demonstrating to the towns of the state that Phoenix is for the state with heart and hand. ready to assist in that which is of mutual interest to all.
 Record Excursion
 The excursion to Yuma was the most successful as well as the largest and most representative financially in the history ol Phoenix, the excursion ists saying that their passenger list of 143 persons. an eight-car special train and engine demonstrated to Yuma the strength Phoenix puts back of something when this city makes up it's mind to act
 This like the excursions which are in prospect, was to place Phoenix on exhibition that the community visited might see and judge for itself on it's E, live in Phoenix. the excursionists ex plained. Maricopa county and Phoenix have prospered and their interests have expanded. as have also other Heighboring communities, and each yeS should see them grow more and more together in business and civic fife.
 What will be the destination of the next excursion has not been decided. although numerous suggestions have i been made for the guidance of the chamber or commerce in the matter. Distribute The Republican 1 lican- containing specially prepared l Yuma development news and numer- ous advertisements Of greeting from ! Phoenix business men. upon the arri- val of the Phoenix to Yuma excursion train in Yuma at 11:30 o'clock Thurs day morning.

A large crowd had assembled and every one who could be reached received q copy. The papers were placed at the Elks club. headquarters for the ex- cursionists. hotels and other meeting places, and were read with great in terest, said Yuma people, who compli- mented the edition and expressed ap- preciation of the generous space de- voted to the welfare of Yuma.
