BUMPED AGAIN

With the sharp rebuke the Hard
ing administration received in In
diana and Pennsylvania, a desper-
ate effort was made to stem the tide
in the primary recently held in To-
wa. The administration leaders felt
that with but one or two candidates
in the field, the out and out progress
sive candidate for U. S. Senator,
w. Brookheart, would win. The
Iowa primary law is such, that while
candidate may have a majority OF
the votes cast, he must have thirty
five per cent Of the entire vote cast
before he is nominated. Knowing
this the plan adopted was to have
multiplicity of candidates-in all
six, in order to so divide the vote
that Brookh heart would not have the
necessary 35 per cent, in which
event the nomination would go to
the state convention, then in one of
those back room conferences they
could defeat him. But it didn't
work out, and the "Old Guard" re-
ceived blow even worse than it got
in either Indiana or Pennsylvania,
bad as they were. Brookheart calls
himself a radical-a LaFollette Re
publican, which means that he is
not . Republican at all, only in
name. The issues which he open
ly made his campaign on. were all
anti-administration Speaking along
this line, and under the caption OF
"Reaping Its Reward the New York
World hits the nail on the bean
when it says:
1t ought to be plain, even to the
White House, that a great back
wash OF radicalism has followed the
reactionary upheaval Of 1920. The
Republican majority Of that year did
not mean what the Republican lead
ers thought it meant. They believed
that the country had swung back to
Hannaism and all that HannaiSm
implied. Instead, the country, con-
fused by the complicated questions
growing out of the war, accepted at
their face value all the Republican
charges that these troubles were due
solely to Mr.. Wilson and his advis-
ers-that if the Democrats We're
turned out and the Republican Old
Guard were turned in all the compli-
cations would be at once straighten-
ed out.
Mr.. Harding was elected to re-
deem promises that could not be re-
deemed, and the rank and file of his
party are deserting him, as it was
inevitable that they would. A new
factional fight within the Republi-
can party is now inevitable. What
makes the situation still more ser
ious is that radicalism has received
a new impetus from the blunders
and failures of the Harding Admin
istration. The Republican eXtrem-
lists will no longer be satisfied with
measures that they would have been
glad to accept year ago.
The moral Of it all is that while
elections can be won on crooked is
sues, majorities cannot be held to-
gether on crooked issues, and the
Old Guard is now reaping the re-
ward or It's political dishonesty in
1918, in 1919 and in 1920.

Says Railroad
Administration Will
Wind Up in 1924

Washington. Feb. 13.-Confidence
that the work of the railroad admin
istration will be substantially COM
pleted" by January 1, 1924, and that
the entire liquidation OF the obli-
cations Of the government arising
during the period of federal control
could be concluded without any adj
ditional appropriation for that pur-
pose by Congress-" was expressed In
letter from President Harding to
Speaker Gillett, transmitting to Con-
gress today the report Of the direc-
tor-general of railroads covering the
% months period dating from relin-
quishment OF federal control to the
end of the last calendar year.
The President said the predictions
were based on the estimates of the
director general. and So far as the
ability of the administration to wind
up it's affairs without another appro-
priation was concerned. they took
into consideration the cash now
available and the disposition of def
mite obligations of the carriers now
held by the railroad administration
Mr.. Harding said 1t was Inter
esting to note" that the report OF
the railroad director-general shows
that claims of carriers aggregatine
S447, 51S,00O have been settled by the
payment of $133,694,355.
This represents, the President de-
clared, 1885 per cent of all main
line mileage under federal control
and indicates that about one-half OF
adjustment between the carriers and
the government has been completed.
The report. Mr.. Harding stated
would reveal 'to Congress the prog
ress made in the liquidation of all
questions incident to federal con-
troll" and show in detail the sub
stantial progress made in the liqui-
dation of the innumerable claims OF
third persons arising out of federal
operation" These claims. the let
ter explained" consist largely OF
personal injury, loss and damage to
freight. fire, wages, reparations and
the like.

Engineers will meet the railway ex-
ecutives jointly with the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men, while the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen and the Order OF RAIL
way conductors will conduct their
conferences jointly, he said.
1t was understood that this fact
means that concerted action on wage
matters which have existed several
years, is ended for the present, at
least. The Brotherhoods now Will
deal with the railways in three re-
gions. eastern, western and southern,
instead of as whole through the
labor board, it was declared. This
is understood to be agreeable 20 the
railway executives.
The first of such conferences will be
held in New York Thursday between
representatives of the trainmen, con-
ductors and the eastern group of
railways. Another conference next
Monday will bring together the same
delegation of railway executives and
officers of the Brotherhoods of En-
gineers and Firemen and Enginemen.
