STRIKING CORPSE

Blind Elephant

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The de-
mocrats have again dragged out the
skeleton OF tariff reform for use in
the coming congressional elections.
It's team mate will be "clean elect
ions"
The political atmosphere will be dis
turbed by a battle between the two
corrupt parties OF capitalism. The
pot will call the kettle black and vice
versa. Perhaps the Teapot Dome will
be revived.
The democrats have already opened
the campaign. The republicans are
hoping that some good angel will
solve the agricultural problem before
the votes are cast in the fall. After

OTTAWA, Ont, July rs. - w. Mac
Kenzie King, former premier of Can
ada, is delivering loyalist speeches
and charging his opponent premier
Meighen with violating the constitu-
ton in one of the most heated cleo
tions in the dominion's history.
When Governor-General Byng re-
fused to dissolve parliament at the
request of Mackenzie King, after the
latter suffered a defeat in the house,
but instead called on the conservatives
to form a government, there was wild
talk of independence heard turnout
the provinces.
But the liberals as well as the con-
servatives are soft pedalling separat-
lst sentiment and both are competing
with each other in expressing loyal
ty to the king and crown.
The action of general Byng in re-
fusing to dissolve parliament while
the liberals were in Office gave the
conservatives a big advantage as they
can now use the government machin-
cry to gather in the votes.
