guisher upon him. Probably Mr..
Harvey demonstrated in his first pub
lection, which is generally supposed
to have been the personal choice of
President Harding.
"The other day the President an
nounced the appointment of eight
Ministers to various countries in
South and Central America, Europe
and Asia. SuNiecting these to the
Secretary of States test, that they
should be able men particularly
trained in the field of diplomacy it
is found that just one, Lewis Elm
stein, of New York, who has been
made Minister to Czecho- Slovakia,
fills the bill. He has had many
years of experience in diplomatic
posts and is well qualified for his
new honors. The others are an un-
known lot of Republican politicians.
two of whom hail from Oregon while
the others come from Kentucky,
Colorado, South Dakota, Missouri
and Maine. Not one of them has
had any diplomatic training what
ever, and all will supplant men who
through years of experience have
made their services of value.
Secretary Hughes, as we have
said, is a good man and is highly es-
teemed. 1t is unfortunate that he
seems to have so little pull with the
Administration in carrying out the
excellent ideas with which he took
up his new duties in the State De-
partment."
Bursum's Plurality Only One-Half
of Har1ling's in New Mexico
The recent election of Holm O..
Barsuas, te- the United States Senate
from New Mexico has been widely
heralded in the Republican press as
a great Republican victory and Mr..
Bursum's plurality has been various
ly stated at 1000, 5000 and 5000.
Senator Bursum himself. according
to the leading Republican paper of
New Mexico, spread broadcast the
allegation that he had won by g.
600, and apparently has never
thought is necessary to correct this
false impression.
The official election returns show
Senator Bursum's plurality to be
5,505, approximately one-half the
1900 majority for Harding last
year.
1t is asserted by Senator Bur-
sums supporters that he was given
a vote of confidence. On this basis
out of total vote of 71,761 Sena-
tor Bursum's vote of confidence" is
expressed in his majority of 1,949,
which is far from an overwhelming
vote of approval in campain in
which the principal Republican de-
pendence was, to quote the same Re-
publican paper, "a heavy slush-bar-
REL"
Connecticut Towns Turn to the
Democratic Party
While the Republican Press con-
spicuously published the news OF
Senator Bursums election, false fig
ures and all, there has been a pain
full lack of information in the same
press of the results of the recent
city elections in Connecticut.
At the election the first week in
this month, in New Haven, Fitz-
gerald, Democratic candidate for
mayor. carried the city by 2,409.
Last year Harding carried New
Haven by 1852.
At the same election, in Water
bury, Guilfoile, Democratic candi-
date for mayor, carried the city by
S,042. Last year Harding carried
Waterbury by 1,051.
At New Haven the total presi-
Dental vote was 37,9O2 and the tot
al mayorality vote was 36,S75, a
falling off of only 1897 votes.
At Waterbury the total president
ial vote was 1871; the total mayor
ality vote was 1884, a falling off Of
only 1897.
Still "FOoling the Farmers"
On Tuesday, October IS, the
House extended the Emergency
Tariff bill, approved May 81, 1921,
until February 1, 1922.
This is the bill which was to bring
prosperity to the farmer by protect
ing him against the pauper raised
crops of Europe, which do not exist,
but which destroys the market for
his surplus crops, which he must sell
abroad to be prosperous.
On the day before the House ex-
tended the Emergency Tariff Act.
