II the World knew of the clever
Beveridge campaign, and It should
have known, its statement that
News defeat is Harding's defeat,
that News defeat is repudlation
OF the Harding Administration, is
both misleading and dishonest. But
the World Is so stepped in the belief
that It is the word and the breath
and the souh OF the Democratic
party that in It's politics It is blind
to anything which does not make
for Democratic victory, Democratic
glory. And this is pity, for the
World is a strong newspaper,
courageous and brilliant.
Naturally there will be a reaction
in the elections this fall from the
landslide vote the Republicans had
in 1920. There Is always a reaction
with the party IN power in the cleo
tion succeeding a Presidential cleo
tion. In the natural course of
things the reaction should be un-
usually large this year because of
Harding's enormous vote that car
ried the party with It, because Of the
tremendously difficult situation Hard
ing succeeded to and because OF the
wretched account the Republican
Congress has given of itself.
But, in spite Of all this, The New
York Herald wishes to say, and to
emphasize the utterance, that in no
primary so far this year, no cleo
ton so far this year, have we got
any facts and figures that furnish
evidence OF a Republi-
can debacle this fall, that furnish
evidence Of anything
more than a normal reaction against
the Republican party this fall.
The World. and other hard boiled
Democratic newspapers. and Demo-
cratic leaders. seeing in these pri-
maries and scattered elections Dem
