back in the state putting in some ticks
for the state ticket. He is speaking
at Cooperstown today. We hardly
think it is necessary to point out to
the voters of the second congressional
district that in Mr.. Young they have
one of the best members of congress
in that whole body. He has impor-
tant committee assignments on the
ways and means committee, the larg-
est and most powerful committee in
congress, and ne is also on the COM
mittee of committees, anotheA very
important assignment. In addition to
that Mr.. Young is one of the hardest
working men in congress and is al
ways on the job. No matter what is
asked of him by his constituents or
those from other districts, he is al
ways doing the best he can to help
them out and be of. service to them
and to the state. We know before the
votes are counted that Mr.. Young will
have a splendid majority at the polls
on the 2Sth of June, because the peo-
pie are going to reward good and con-
sistent service. A vote for George M.
Young means a vote to keep in con-
gress one of the ablest and best men
of that congressional body.
The United States is rendering an
other substantial aid to Cuba. The
administration of the islands affairs
has been allowed to drift into the
hands of unscrupulous politicians, who
have created many high-salaried sine
cures, endangered the credit of the
country, and created much dissatis-
faction among the Cubans themselves.
Gen. Crowder, formerly Judge Advo-
cate General of the United States Ar
my, has been acting as the personal
representative of President Harding
in Cuba, and has drawn up plan for
the 'lnoral reformation of the Cuban
administration. The scheme has the
hearty endorsement of all the better
elements in the island, and it is prob
able it will be acceded to by the party
in control of the government. On 9TH
er occasions in the past the United
States has interviewed in Cuban af-
fairs and kept the country on firm
foundation. 1t is we'll to remember
in this connection that the authority
under which the United States exer-
cises a supervision over Cuba is con-
tanned in the so-called Plat amend
ment to the Cuban Constitution, NAM
ed after it's author, the former distin-
guished Republican Senator from Con-
necticut. It should also be borne in
mind that the men who have been
most intimately associated in Cuban
welfare have all been prominent Re-
publicans, Gen. Wood, Chief Justice
Taft while Secretary of War, former
President Roosevelt, and now Presi-
dent Harding and Gen. Crowder.
The time for the primary election
is fast rolling around, only ten days
left. Up to this time two things are
apparent. The first is that there is a
great deal of uncertainty as to what
| the voters will do on account of the
lack Of expression or enthusiasm at
political rallies. The league speak
ers are drawing very small audiences
| and up to this time we have had no
| opportunity to attend an I. V. A.
| rally. 1t shows this, however, that
the majority Of voters are going to
let themselves do the thinking this
time and they will quietly go to the
polls and vote their own convictions.
We feel that under the existing con-
ditions that they are going to vote
right and in our judgment the long
end of the vote will go to Nestos and
that ticket. the present administra-
ton is making good and keeping it's
pledges and we are gradually assum-
| ing a normal condition in the state,
due to good business management,
and voters are apt to look at it from
business standpoint and decide to
let well enough alone. Then we find
big change in sentiment on the SEN
atorship, with McCumber gaining
rapidly and we look. for his renomin-
alton on June 18th. The people were
opposed to McCunber on the start
! because they believed he had not
taken as much interest in the state
