THE ELECTION OF 1924

In 1912, as at the present time, \
big 81 .m.nr Of Republicans were
profoundly dissatisfied with the
fixtures and errors Of their party.
They rallied under theif great leader
Theodore Roosevelt and he made
brilliant campaign for the presl-
dency. But though he was in
many ways the most popular char.
actcr that has appeared in Our poll
tics since the civil war; he was
beaten ,-Why?
Because, although he represented
the cause progressive government,
the voters iustincliycly felt that the
Democratic party represented IoJ al
W to the same cause, but IN q more
common sense and reasonable way.
rle Roosevelt movement, attractive
us it was, failed to draw any con-
siderable number Of Democratic
votes. 1t split the republican party
IN two, and allowed the easy q ctlon
# Woodrow Wilson.
The dissatisfaction within the
Republican party is now 50 intense
,hat on the face Of it just such a
result as that Of 1912 could be ex-
pected. But the Republican, pro-
5ressives Of today have leaned a
e.son from the 1912 election.
They have learned from tha'
famous contest that third patty
movements are practically hopeless,
md are only a means by which
people throw their votes away. A
multitude Of them will do the lo8;-
;aI thing, which will he to 60
straight to the Democrats,
In that way opened minded
voters can support Humanitarian
legislation and throw off the grip Of
the great corporation and weal.h
interests that have so powerful a
grip over the Republican party.
And at the same time they will
avoid the fNncies and fads which
many Of The radicals would like tc
go into. A multitude OF them,
about the same type who cast hail
Il Democratic vote for Roosevelt in
1912, will throw u whole one this
year for the Democratic candidate.

NOVELTY WOULD WEAR OFF
Boss HAD Right Idea as to How TO DC
Away With Excitement
in Office.

He had been getting to work late
with such regularity that the boss ire
was aroused and so he resolved to
begin arriving at the office more pune
tualIy Anyhow, all the standard all
bis such as the alarm clock failing to
ring. the crowded street cars passing
him up at his corner, were about worn
out in his case.
And so one morning all week he drift
ed with attempted nonchalance into the
Office among the early arrivals. The
others of the Office staff at once set
up cl8mor.
"Whats the matter, couldn't you
sleep last night?'' some asked
"He probably was out all night and
hasn't gone home yet" others re-
marked.
"The clock at his house must have
been an hour fast this morning" said
another of the gang.
Then the target of all these re-
marks became indignant. Going to
the boss desk, he made his complaint.
IF it is going to cause so darn much
excitement for me to get down or
time, I guess 1 had better be late ev-
cry day." he said.
Nope" said the boss, without look
ing up from his work. "Get doWn@on
ssme every morning and you won't
cause any excitement"

THE ATTITUDE TOWARD
NEWCOMERS

A speaker at community AFT, il
in another city, found fault the
other day, because there is so much
tendency to regard newcomers to u
town as people who ARE to be
worked" for everyone's benefit.
The first thought of everyone, he
said, is what can | get out of these
people. Business men are hoping
to secure their trade, statesmen want
to sell them something, thesocieties
want to get them to join.
The newcomers do not object to
being approached by all these folks
if they do it in Il friendly way.
They would much rather be noticed
and drummed to JON the organiza-
ton or buy this line Of stuff, than
not to have any one pay attention
to them. When they are solicited
TO do this or that, they at least feel
that they have come to n live city
that is looking for every chance of
expansion.
The right attitude toward new
corners is to make them feel at home
just as soon rs possible. The folks
who live on the same street where
they have located have response
bility. If they refuse to speak TO a
newcomer, and hold themselves
coldly distant until they have been
introduced, those newcomers are
going to say that the town has no
friendliness and they will be rest
less and discontented there.
Newcomers feel lonely when they
first move into a place. mach like
the proverbial cat in a strange gar

cold and aloof. Now if the neigh
