"A SAFE CANDIDATE =

The nomination of Senator Warren
G. Harden of Ohio as the Republican
presidential candidate came as the
elimination of the dark horse move
predicted several weeks ago by polit-
ical leaders. 1t was evidently engi-
neered by Republican whips in order
to prevent a rupture.
johnson declared that if Wood or
Lowden men bought up delegates in
clined toward him, he would take his
case before the people, Harding is
known to be unsatisfactory to John
son as candidate; the two men are
Numerically opposed on almost ev-
cry issue. Harding represents the
wealth aristocracy' while johnson
proclaims himself the exponent Of the
'peepul,' The question now before the
Republican party is: What will john
son do?' Will he throw his support to
the candidate of his party or will he
enter the fight for the presidency on
an Independent ticket? Much de-
ponds on the position the Californian
assumes.
Harding is safe candidate for the
NCPupiiSdiioy hidShioSH 40 HC has INV
definitely declared himself on any of
the great issues. While he is known
as a 'stand-patter' and is closely al
lied with the Penrose and Lodge ele-
ment, he has not especially during the
past ten months, taken a prominent
part in Senate discussion, even
though he was a member of the Sem
ate Foreign Relations committee. He
would have accepted any old league
of Nations plank.
In the event of success, Harding
would make an ideal executive for
the Old Guard Republicans. He is
right with the bosses and with him
in the White House, Republican Con-
gress could realize it's desire to con-
troll the President. The situation
would be similar to that of McKin-
ley's with the Senate in the position
of Mark Hanna 1t has been their in
ability to coerce Wilson that has made
the Republicans so hysterical in Con-
gress. Certainly success in Novem-
Der would be sweet to Penrose and
Lodge, but it is very doubtful if the
Republican vote can be whipped in
line for the nominee, especially in
California-Johnson's home State.

mlnlStratlon.
Such an address from Governor
Gardner detailing his achievements in
the three and half years he has been
Missouri's Chief Executive, if deliver
ed just when presidential dark horse
was needed, would accomplish the feat
of making him the nominee. But such
an opportunity will not present itself
to Missouri's Governor for the reason
that state achievements, no matter
how immense they are, generally are
not themes which are in order at ma
tional conventions. Some other way
must be found to place the name of
Missouri's illustrious Governor before
the San Francisco convention if a
presidential nominee from the rank
and file of the party is made neces-
sary by Il deadlock similar to the one
the Republicans encountered in Chica-
go last week.
But in San Francisco the difference
will be that if dark horse is in de-
mand a real dark horse will be trotted
out and not one who was agreed upon
long before the convention, to be
sprung when the big financial inter-
ests of the country CLEANED they could
not put over either Lowden or Woods.
Harding had been well groomed days
before the Chicago deadlock and full
| ly knew exactly the part he was to
play and what would happen if he was
suddenly dragged into the running.

MISSOURI AT THE CONVENTION

When the name of Missouri was
reached on the roll call for the first
ballot in the Chicago convention, a
voice from the gallery shouted:
Count the CASH" Almost instantly
it became a chorus, Joined in by hun
dreds of voices. 1t was the supreme
moment Of Missouri's shame on the
national stage Of Republican politics.
That incident of the National Re-
publican Convention, carried over the
wires to every corner of the land,
gave to Missouri the place to which
the name Of the state had sunk in the
hands of the machine bosses who had
bartered party honor for personal
gain, whether in power or in dollars
Missouri stepped out on the floor of
the convention hall to hear her name
cried out as byword for corruption
and bribery. The delegation repre-
senting our state was held in contempt
by the galleries, nor did it have the
respect of other delegations seated all
about. Missouri, on that stage, was
! judged by the measure of Nat Gold
lstetn and Bobby" Moore and "Liv"
Morse.
Missouri has something to live
down, in the eyes of the nation, be-
cause of that convention. From both
ends of the state was our representa-
ton marked with the stamp of dis
grace:S The Kansas City contest
brought an airing of methods which
can scarcely be credited to this mod
ern time. Machine representation was
forced upon the voters of that dis
trict. And st. Louis sent delegates
who had received cash in advance out
of the unlimited funds of moneyed
politicians.
Thus, in 1920, were the Republican
voters of Missouri represented at the
national convention of their party. 1t
is Missouri's shame. The voters
they did not take affairs into their own
hands, they helped to bring it upon
themselves. 1t is not a disgrace Mis-
souri, can keep to herself. The whole
land knows of it. From every corner
the finger of scorn is pointed at US,
just as the galleries in Chicago boot
ed and jeered our representatives.
When the Democratic voters of
Missouri stood in disgrace upon the
national stage because of Senator
Reed, the shame of it was brought
home to them. They repudiated SEN
ator Reed that they again might hold
up their heads.
| What will the Republican voters Of
the state do now that they stand be.
fore the nation with bowed heads, as
they must do if self-respect remains ?
They will not be able to wipe out the
stain that mars our state as long as
such names as Goldstein and Moore
ard Morse and Babler are written
across the banner of Republican poll.

The Republican platform does not
show a single instance of a decided
and courageous stand on any princl-
pie or progressive question before the
people, 1t treats the League of Ma
tons issue with weasel words" and
meaningless phrases, afraid to de-
clare against it or for it, even with
Lodges reservations; it approaches
the Mexican situation in an evasive
and colorlcsS manner that discovers no
meaning to the reader; it SHES at the
eighteenth amendment and the Vol

ton before the country, the League

engrossed the minds of thepeoplefor

of self laudation, hectic abuse of Will
