POLITICAL
SSOCIATION

Many people nowadays take party
lines very lightly. They consider
that the two leading parties do not
differ greatly, and are held in line
largely on traditions and out worn Is
sues.
Closer observers, however, feel that
there are real distinctions existing
between the two. and that a differ.
ence in temperament and fundament-
al attitude has led men to line up in
these two different organizations
Both may be equally patriotic, but
they have different ideas about gov
eminent.
1t constantly happens that people
will vote for a man of the opposite
party from themselves, because they
like and approve of his personality.
The man, and not the party. is their
motto. Then when he gets into Of
nee. they find he is controlled by GER
tain mysterious influences which they
had not reckoned with. He is moulded
and guided by his party associates
and traditions, and in the end con-
stantly acts contrary to the view of
Independent voters who supported
him.
In casting In intelligent ballot, the
personal merit of the candidates is
only one Of many issues. The prin-
cipal thing Is to consider the influ-
ences by which a candidate will be
surrounded, the character, purposes
and past performances of the group
Of which he belongs and which will
govern his conduct.-[Free Press.

ROLLING THE ROLLER
OVER SENATOR REED

Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri,
was elected a delegate to the Demo-
cratic national convention by the
Democrats of his home district in
Kansas City, the strongest Democra-
tic congressional district in any part
OF the country, outside Of the solid
south. where public opinion cuts no
figure In elections.
Although the election was in every
way regular, and practically unani-
nous, the Missouri Democratic state
machine assumed the right to deny
self determination to the Democrats
of this district, and declared the Sen
ator's seat vacant. Whereupon the
Democrats Of the district held an
other convention, as directed and
proceeded to re-elect Senator Reed.
The Democratic national committee
t~hereupon decided that Senator Reed
was not entitled to a seat, although
clearly he was the chosen represen-
tative Of the Democrats Of his con-
gr~essional district. This decision was
made at the dictation of q President
who has written many essays and de-
livered many speeches on the subject
of the right of the people to rule,
rather than to be controlled by small
groups and bosses" 1t was made by
a hodv al nolificians. every one NJ

LABOR PAPER
FOR HARDING

There is no denying the fact that
Senator Warren G.. Harding, the Re-
publican nominee for the Presidency,
Is a man Of the masses. He had an
humble start in life and has honestly
won his way to the front by merit
and self-reliance. fidelity to true and
progressive principles; love for his
fellowmen. self-sacrifcing work in
movements designed for the general
uplift, persistency in gaining know
ledge in all things aiming at the well
fare of the nation and genuine sym
pathy for the men who toll for wages.
Senator Harding is a true and typical
American. There could be no better
candidate for the great honor that
is sure to be his, for 1t is almost i'm
possible to think that the rank and
file of the citizens will fail to elect
such a man of nobility of character
and patriotic enterprise as he."5[Pit-

Lost Arms Without Pain.

Our story of a man being blown
away, unhurt, by the explosion of a
bomb which he did not hear must seem
something like an analogy.
y King Edward once brought together
at his dinner table Rustem Pasha. who
had had half his right hand and part
Of his arm torn of by a bear, and Sir
Edward Bradford, who had had his
left arm up to the elbow munched
away by a tiger.
The two men compared notes.
Neither had felt the least twinge of
pain at the time. They imagined that
their intense desire to save their lives
dulled all other senses. - London

mination Of peoples" But when II
comes to dealing with the affairs OF
his OWE country and party, Wilson
falls back upon ~autocracy in its most
extreme and Objectionable form. 1t
was not claimed, and could not be,
that Senator Reed did not fairly rep
resent the opinions Of the people of
his district, who had elected him a
delegate. 1t was only charged that
he had been guilty of the high crime
and m~isdemeanor Of ~disagreeing with
the Democratic Supreme Being.
How the journalistic sensational
lists would have rent the air with
their fluctuations II a Republican
United States senator, elected a dele
gate to the Republican national con-
vention-Senator Hiram Johnson, for
i~nstance-had been denied a seat in
the convention by vote of the Re-
publican national committee because
his presence was not desired by some
supreme party boss. AS it is, this
fragrant piece Of steam rollerism
seems to have caused little comment.
So accustomed has the country be-
come to Wilsonian autocracy, that
this outrage was accepted as a mat
ter Of purse And the court jour
nails Of the Democratic and near
Democratic breed applaud the deci-
sion on the ground that Senator Reed
has not been a regular Democrat"
