We find great many people and publications arguing about the ne- farious results of prohibition and how moisture should be more ram- pant in the land, yet when they vote the politicians have things so ar ranged that they actually vote dry" that is to say, they vote for the win ming party, which is unalterably dry, headed and led after a fashion by President Coolidge.
 It would be a fine thing to quit talking about the subject until a wet party could be in the field one with the courage of its convictions, with no propensity to straddle the prohibition issue, one led by men who are willing to stand for victory or defeat upon clear-cut pro- liquor platform. Then the objectors to the present law would have an opportunity to vote how they think, how they talk, until that time comes all the thinking and talking will be in vain. At present the cards vir- tually are stacked against them. They vote for prosperity, "econo. my" or any of the other catch words set up for their benefit, and in reality are at the same time vot- ing for prohibition.
 In order to make headway the liquor folks will have to be willing to regard the issue less as a political scarecrow and more as a vital issue that politicians must recognize as of some importance when they solicit votes. Under present condi- tions so thoroughly is the political camouflage operated upon the liquor question, that in spite of the re- puted increase of discontent with the results of the prohibition law, the new Congress coming into being this spring will contain more dry congressman than the old or present Congress.

LOWDEN AND COOLIDGE

LOWDEN AND COOLIDGE
 What is termed small cloud of
 dust" has appeared on the Repub- 1 lican political horizon. This speck
 has appeared from Illinois, and the
 use of telescope will reveal it to
 have the form and features of former Governor Frank o. Lowden of that state. Mir. Lowden, q versi- tile worker in the realm of agricul-
 ture, man to whom statistics about farm productiyeness and ideas on what to do to help place agriculture back on its feet come as naturally
 as milk to a baby, is out for the Republican presidential nomination. the consensus of opinion is he may get the nomination, too-if MT
 Coolidge refuses to run for a third term.
 At this juncture it might be ad-
 visable to go even a little further.
 Mir. Lowden and his friends num- bering a large block of agricultural delegates, are going to make fight for the nomination; and not fight that will be over in the first round, either. As yet nobody has been found who is willing 10 say publicly that MT. Lowden could beat Mr. Coolidge in the nomination ring; but there are plenty from the west who arc convinced that Mr. Lowden can put up a strong enough fight to keep the grand old party managers from taking the situation too easily.
 So far only one Republican na- tional committeeman has come out openly for Mir. Lowden. He is Ralph A. Williams, committeeman from Oregon, and vice chairman of the committee. Williams declared that sentiment in the rural districts is growing rapidly in favor of Lowden as the Republican candidate and away from President Coolidge. So far all Williams has received for his verbal effort is admiration for his courage in saying such thing right out loud, instead of merely whisper ing about it to political cronies in some hotel corridor.
 One commentator admits there is is no denying the fact that Lowden has a wide following among the farmers of the west and northwest The farmers believe the former gov ernor, more than any other Rcpub- lCan. has their interests at heart and knows how to benefit them if elected president.
 How this situation cventuates will depend upon some extent as to what happens to the McNary- Haugen bill the new and revamped measure which is to be brought up in Con- gress in a few days. Coolidge last year was against this measure. The Presidents ideas won out in Con- gress to the extent that the bill did not get through it. There are some very independent and influential farm journals-rcad by the millions on the farms but never seen in the citics-Who know who to blame for the failure of farm legislation so far and be it said they are not blaming ready helpers like Mr. Lowden.
 Farm relief legislation is said by some to be the most important thing before Congress--either the present session or the next-and is won't down until settled right | The canny c, c. r. can -,be relied 1 upon to settle this matter before the Text election. and it is dollars to dime some of the earlier adaman- tcan principles of the party will be fractured in the process. If this does not occur then watch out for I.owden.
