The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1921-12-02

tration, which makes the Charles,
ton Is. c. News and Courier
say in reply to the Times Unions
comment that the claim was
rubbish:
Doubtless the Times Union believes
this sincerely; we shall not argue the
point. But to at least some Demo
Gratis the best thing about Mr. Hull
is the fact that he is evidently not
one of those Democrats who feel
that the party must forget just as
completely as possible the last chap
ter of it's record, that it must never
say anything about that chapter in
public, and must never refer to 1t
except in whisper, even In the
bosom of the family.
The Jacksonville Times Union
takes up the challenge to some
point in saying that saying some
Democrats" approved is equiva-
lent to saying, that some did not
approve and adds that the News
and Courier will have to admit
that quite a number of Demo
Gratis were not in harmony with
the last Democratic adminlstra'
ton. The next election if won
at all, will not be won by some
Democrats but by all Demo-
Gratis" The Times Union goes
on to say that a divided party
cannot win, the Republicans have
learned that fact, and urges that
the party unite on the principles
upon which the Democratic party
was organized. THE issues OF
the last campaign were not the
principles on which the Demo
cratic party is founded. The
Wilson administration was the
issue of the last campaign made
so by the Republican platform
and accepted by the Democratic
platform and the Democratic
nominee. The principles for
which the Democratic party was
contending last year were die
tated by one man, accepted by a
number of Democrats and reject
ed by number of others.
Harding's majority lacked only
LAS, 1862 votes of being equal to
the entire vote of Cox. Georgia
nominated and elected govern
or and senator whose race was
based on opposition to the adj
ministration. Florida sent eleven
out. of twelve delegates to the
Democratic national convention
who were opposed to the ad.
ministration and Georgia and
Florida were not only the Demo
cratic states opposed to the adj
ministration. The Democratic
victory in New York City doesn't
mean so much as it is nominally
Democratic locally. On national
issues last year the presidential
nominee ran 1853, 400 behind the
gubernatorial Democratic nomi-
nee. But the fact that the Demo
Gratis are getting together on
their old fighting ground OF
principles and are getting over
their attack of Wilsonian hysteria
should cause Republican leaders
to take notice and not to lean
back on their oars as easy vic
tors. The Times Union believes
that the Democratic Party on its
old fighting ground would win in
1924. We do not believe that
for we believe that the country
will not so soon forget the Will
sonian years; but there is plenty
of work ahead if the Republicans
desire to stay in power. 1t be-
hooves the Republican Congress
to make good on needed reforms
and not to play politics.
The question of cancellation OF
foreign debts is one about which
most people know little, even
those who write on the subject.
However, the Miami Herald
throws considerable light on the
subject in the following editori-
al:
So many reiterations of the de-
pendence of the arms parley on the
cancellation of foreign debts appear
from day to day that discussion on
cancellation becomes as frequent as
that on the conference.
England, more than any other ma
ton, is interested in cancellation,
and although the French, when the
question arises, deny any interest in
