Tho Swing Of the Pendulum

Two years ago the political pendu-
Ium swung to the extreme for Re-
p3blicanism. Now. because In nine
teen months OF Republican admin
lstration Of national affairs, condi-
lions that were at the extreme OF in
fiation and DISCRIMINATION have not
been brought back entirely to nor
mai. the pendulum has swung in the
opposite direction - not so strong
as before. but stti very pronounced.
The people are discontented because
the work OF several years could not
- concentrated into q few months.
This Is the old story OF the non-presi-
Dental year In politics. However
much has been accomplished. the
people are impatient that more has
not been done. therefore they vote
against the party in power.
Two years from now. when the
country has awakened to a realiza-
ton OF what has been accomplished
IN solving the stupendous problems
OF national government that were in
herited by the Republican party, the
swing will be back again and the
country will settle down to a normal
Republican majority. This predic-
ton involves n look ahead. but the
conclusion Is n logical n and is
fully warranted by past history

in fact The Republicans article spoke
in the highest terms of Mr.. Rose
personally.
By the way, in spite Of that un-
precedented and spontaneous out
burst of "affectionate esteem" we
note that with six precincts missing
in Lincoln county, Mr.. Winter is
credited with 1142 votes and Mr..
Rose with 1870, so that the candi-
dates own county didn't seem to get
worked up to such a wild pitch of
enthusiasm after all. Bob should

Tuesdays general election show Ross
leading Hay for the governorship by

the remote precincts yet to be heard
from will add to the Ross lead.
Winter, Republican candidate for
Congress, Is regarded as safely elect
ed with a lead OF 1000 over Rose.

John B. Kendrick was reelected
to the United States Senate by a ma
jority Of about 5000 votes, the COM

LINCOLN COUNTY
HAY Was MisreDrcsentcd

The biggest surprise OF the cleo
ton was the support that flocked to
the Democratic standard In the CUB
ernatorial race. John W. Hay had
been considered %invincible, but IN
~derhanded methods were used against
him. not by the Democrats. but by
Republicans In the Casper country.
where rankest methods were used.
Up there they claimed in page ad-
vertisemcnts. with handbills and in
every way that the propaganda could
be spread that John Hays election
would men "U. p. control" OF Wyom-
ing - whatever that means. and
proceeded to give Ross n majority Of
1000 in Natrona county.
Hays chances are now slim. for
the remaining 50 precincts to be
heard from are small. and Ross lead
likely will not be overcome. Ross
election. however. is not yet conceded
either by Mr.. Hay or Republican state
headquarters.
Hay's home county CAV him a
handsome endorsement. as did Lin
coin. Teton and Sublette counties.
but Uinta only CAV him about an
even break.-kemmerer Republican.

Wyoming a Loser

Wyoming is a heavy loser in that
the position Of Floor Leader of the
House of Representatives will pass
to some other state because of the de-
feat of Congressman Mondell. True,
Mr.. Mondell relinquished the chair
when he entered the race for the
Senate, but because OF his marked
ability he should be able to land a
position equally important.
The defeat of Mr.. Mondell In his
contest for a eat in the Senate is
no rebuke. but rather the result Of
the unsettled condition of the country
which has caused the removed of
many other good men from their
places in the House and from the
Senate. We have n gratifying con-
ISOLATION that the place sought by Mr..
Mondell is. and will be, filled by a
distinguished man who has the on
fidence of the entire state. It was
not hat Mr.. Kendrick is not a good
man for the place. but that the Re-
publican party think Mr.. Mondell is
better qualified for the hard fight in
store for a senator who defends
Mornings interests in the great
game of national barter. - Goshen
County Journal.
Make Them Make Good
In many parts OF the country the
people have spoken again
at the polls. and a new grist Of pub
lie officials are coming into office.
If they keep only a small proper
ton OF their compaign promises they
will make history as no other Of
ficials have ever done before.
Making promises comes easy to a
candidate. 1t is part OF the game.
Forgetting them comes quite as
to the elected official. That,
also, is part of the game.
But now that the elections are
and new officials are entering
upon their careers. the public should
be as prompt in reminding them OF
their promises as they were prolific
In making them.
Put the boot on the other foot and
see how long 1t can be worn.-Tor-

A New Deal Wanted

The elections throughout the
country have been favorable to the
Democrats. The voters have reg
istered their opinion of the Harding
administration in no uncertain terms,
and the verdict of the voters has been
disapproval. Seats gained In the
Senate and House have been out of
all proportion to expectations. In
only n notable instance has the
Democrats lost a senatorship and
that was in Nebraska.
With House Leader Mondell de-
feated in Wyoming and Senate Lead
er Lodge registering a narrow es-
cape from defeat in Massachusetts,,
there can be little doubt of what the
people think OF the work of the pres
ent Congress. There is no doubt of
n thing - that the people believe
that Big Business is dominating the
party in power, that the administra-
ton and the Congress are registering
the will OF the favored few and
neglecting The great mass of the
people. A new deal Is wanted and,
IL those who are put into office by
Tuesdays vote do not do their full
duty to those who put them there,
then they will get the same treatment
at the next opportunity. - Douglas
Budget.
The Dope Upset
That the dope as 1t is laid cut by
the politicians Is often upset and
people who you least expect to win
out are the one that go in. the re-
suit of the Tuesday election proved.
The Republicans we're certain that at
least the head of the ticket was safe.
and 1t seems that they were just the
ones that the final count have left
behind. Tickets were scratched from
one end to the other and 1t seemed

of Illinois, has reviewed in a very con
else form the record Of The Wilson re-
gime in this respect. Mr.. Graham
sets forth that in 1916, as a part OF
the machinery for stimulating the mer-
chant marine by act of Congress, the
Shipping board was created. After the
declaration of war Congress, by the
urgent deficiency ac. of 1917 conferred
vast powers upon the President to
requisition and build ships. This pow
er by executive order, dated July IL,
1917 the President delegated to the
Emergency Fleet Cooperation.
Thereafter occurred the monstrous
expenditures of our shipping program, "
says Representative Graham. "They
cost the nation $3,306, 100000. Con.
tracts were made with anyone who
said he could build ship irrespective
OF price or quality. There was no uni
form plan for these ships adopted. No
thought was given to what use the
ship might be put after the war. There
were no cancellation clauses in the
contracts SO tlias If the war ended the
work might be stopped.
give hundred and eighty-nine wood
en- ships were built, costing approx
mately $375.000,0O0, which were alb.
solutely worthless; 30 concrete ships
costing $27,O0O,O 900 more were equally
worthless; 2,2SS ships were built and
delivered but of these only $50 were
delivered before the larJnistice, while
all the rest, or about 1888, were de-
livered after the war was over and
further necessity for them has disap
peared Because the contracts had no
cancellation claus and because of
the irsistent pressure OF the Demo.
cratic adu,isinstra1.on this war time
ship building went on feverishly no.
only in 1919 but it went on until the
present administration came into pow
err As late as 1870 there were 473
ships constructed and delivered to the
government, and the most shameful
part of this was that of these 61 were
wooden ships, conceded by everyon,
10 be worthless.
When the present administration
came in on March 4! 1921, 1t tried to
take stock. 1t now finds about 5.000,-
600 tons Of steel ships which are sal
able, for approximately $15C,0G0,0 ,0C0
