Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1922-09-13

Far be it from the Herald to say
told you so months ago. in referring
to the recent election.
-Ooo-
Friend Willie j. Morgan seems to
have fallen into an abyss since cleo
ton night Anybody heard OF him!
-OoO-
The above is wrong-little bright
ewes has been heard from. He is out
now to defeat Blaine as an 1ndepen-
dent. w. j. is determined to save the
people from "radicalism" even though
they told him by a two to one vote TO
peddles his wares elsewhere. Morgan
is sure a glutton for punishment Or.
Garfield is more sensible-he mas
gone back to teaching.
OOH
AS things shape themselves John
Blaine will be a candidate for the U,
S. senate against Lenroot when the
latter's term expires. Likely he Will
beat him. Lenroot has carried water
on both shoulders.
-ooO-
Uncle Henry Howe of the Prairie du
Chen Courier is getting out quite
paD4r. In fact the Courier is rapidly
taking its place among the leading
papers oil Southwestern Wisconsin.
The other good ones will have to step
lively.
When you begin to worry about
something stop a minute and see II
YOU can remember what seemed to be
a life and death matter a year ago.
The fact is that worries, like every
thing else, are crowded out In the
march of events.
Various cities are barring out in
decent dancing by means OF ordnance
and regulation This can go too lar
the dancers will be driven to paVll-
ions being erected all over the coun-
tryside with no regulation at all. NO
restraint, either.
-ooo---
The primary election is past, now
let us have a short respite from poll
tics before the opening of the big
scrap which ends November 7th.-
Richland Democrat.
You're wrong there, Democrat-the
big scrap was settled last week.
-oOO-
The old "Die-Hards," (they may die
Int thew will never surrender) loose
Nv hurled a lot of charges at the
Blaine supporters in the primary.
socialist" was a pet adjective. The
attitude of the "Die-Hards" reminds
one of the story about the little boy
who saw his dad drilling with other
men. Everybody is out OF step but
papa"

7, in thn omit nj faith
or the cult of fear? Do you believe
in health or disease? Do you knock
or boost? Are you a litter or a lean
err? Are your motives helpful or
harmful? Do you seek the good and
find it or suspicion the worst and
have it hit you on the head? All these
things are a matter of personal attl-
tude toward life and largely deter
mine success or its counter-poise-
failure.
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Missouri,
Iowa, Nebraska, California, Wiscon-
sin-the trend of elections has been
radical in every case. Every state has
chosen a radical in the face OF deter
mined conservative opposition. I'm
rest and dissatisfaction everywhere.
Bad economic conditions, high taxes,
labor troubles-all these invariably
bring about a tendency toward radl-
calism, new parties, etc. Good times
and people vote cOnservatlyely.
What is the significance of the radi-
cal trend? Smart men would like to
know. Probably that Harding is
through. Very likely the republican
standard bearer will be something
less of a stand-patter like Hughes. He
will be opposed by a radical and per-
haps a new party.
Probably in the next few years
there will be a different alignment OF
political parties in this country. The
old party symbols will disappear and
in their places will come a conserva-
tive party and a radical party. This
is as it should be. The old symbols
are meaningless. We need new SYM
bols to properly sustain our democra-
tic form of government. The radicals
are necessary to blaze new trails. The
conservatives are necessary to hold
the radicals from going forward too
fast.
The radical group is rapidly form
ing itself in the United States senate.
La Toilette will probably lead it. He
will probably be the most powerful
man in America, more powerful than
the president. With him will be radi-
cal senator's from other states. They
will form the nucleus OF the radical
element.
The people of this country need
have no fear of such an outcome.
