Course In Rail and Coal Strikes Not
Satisfactory to Either Side - Should

Democrats Even Weaker
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial Despatch to The Reformer)
Copyright 1922
WASHINGTON, Nov 6.-President
Harding is today in midstream with the
tides of his own party running against
him.
Personally popular, respected and es-
teemed. Harding has failed to convince
many of the influential leaders of the
Republican party that he has made the
best use of his opportunities in the last
two years. They are not ready to say
he shall not be nominated for a second
term in 1924-they are sympathetic with
any effort he may make in the next two
years to retrieve his mistakes, and they
wish him success because they would
rather renominate him than face a CON
test inside the party-but the prevailing
impression is that President Harding is
not sufficiently aggressive, not possessed
of enough initiative to lead the party
in these most trying years OF regenera-
ton. ........-
For the Republican party is in process
of evolution Leadership never was
more essential. The nation is aching
to be led-it is tired of following win
o the wisp politicians and it is even
more tired of congress and its dnatOry
ways. President Harding is being criti-
cized more for his lack of leadership than
any one thing The country accepted
at first his argument that the legislative
and executive branches of the govern
ment should be kept Independent. but
now it believes Harding has taken his
own doctrine too literally.
Must Have One Leader.
we voted in 1920" said one Repub-
lican editor ito do away with the die
tatorshiD of Woodrow Wilson, but we
didn't expect the pendulum to swing
back the other way altogether. We must
have one-man leadership"
And that expresses the sentiment of
NEST Republican leaders with whom the
writer has talked. They think Harding
has made his greatest mistake by allow
ing congress to run its own course with
out regard TO the best interests of the
party. As if in illustration of this point,
Republican chieftains without exception
and dozens of editors. unanimously
agree that Harding's veto of the bonus
was the most popular act of his admin
