VIII Push Program.
The upshot of the whole business
will be an assertion of leadership all
along the line by Mr.. Harding. He
can't get the ship subsidy bill acted
on unless the tariff and bonus are
disposed of He must take hold OF
the whole legislative situation. Re
luctant to do so in the past. Mr.. Hard
ing now has decided to lead. His
conversations with republican chief
tains last Saturday were different
from those in the past. The executive
showed that he meant business. and
it goes without saying that members
of Congress up for reelection cannot
risk at this time the public disap-
proval of their own party leader and
the nations chief executive.
Congress has had free hand for
nearly four years. Mr. Harding has
been patient-all too patient. his
friends and advisers think-but the
turning point has come The mer-
chant marine bill may not seem to
have a ghost of chance at this min
ute. but when the President gets
through with the campaign for action
which he has in mind the republican
Congress will unquestionably follow
his advice or be wrecked in the fall
elections.

Price Stands Well

| Senator Price has for ten years
stood out prominently as perhaps the
most able and courageous legislator
In Kansas. He. doesn't believe
strongly In the fiapdoOdle method Of
hunting votes in primary and 1t is
certain he won't jump blindly into
the muddle and muss Of state cam
paign. Senator Finlay is Of much
the same type. He quit district
Judseship to go to an officers train
ing camp when the war came on. In
one term in the senate he stepped
into high place in upper house lead
ership. And 1t all happened without
assistance Of a corps of press agents.
Ben Paulen developed big follow
ing as state senator and state oil In
spector and before spring he may
possess quite a boom.
To be sure there is possibility
that Kansas may yearn for more OF
the atmosphere Of the barnyard in
1924. In which case all the Repub-
licans need is a little advance notice
and fair chance to match sod break
ers with any political party on earth.
Fact is, the idea may find some en-
coura cement from the farmer possi-
bilities who are standing on the side
ines. There ought to be at least !
dozen or more Republican legislators
lust as familiar with pitch fork and
gang plow as Governor Davis ever
dared to be. Some of them have
-ather pointed to the fact them
elves. SO you never can tell. May
oe this farmer governor is just the
hing Kansas wants and needs.
In which event, scratch Price and
'aulen and Finlay. In their stead
ubstitute a quartet composed of
senator e. r. Frizell of Larned, Sen
tor Alfred Docking of Manhattan,
enator Henry M. Laing Of Russell
r retiring Representative Lippert of
lush. They're all from the farm and
AIRY their credentials with them.
The Republican leaders are going !
ut to win in 1924. All they want to
now is just what the dear voters
ant. There is big available stock
: anything that will please the pee
ul.
