June Victory and November Defeat

Cutting off the nose to spite the face is an oper-
alton not unknown to politics.
And it is entirely possible that such an event may
happen within the Republican party some time be-
tween June and November.
Rapid growth of Smith strength is the most OBJ
vous thing in today's political situation.
The convention results in Oklahoma, Khan hot
bed only few years ago; events in North Carolina
and in other sections previously conceded to be anti
Smith territory-an add credence to what the more
ardent Smith advocates have commended all the time
that Al Smith is the only Democrat who has chance
for the nomination.
Regardless of personal desires in the matter the
fact must be admitted-Smith is gaining and his
opposition is waning.
Meanwhile in the Republican camp those oppos-
ing the leading candidate, Hoover continue to go the
limit with their draft-Coodge- favorite- son uni-
structed delegation endeavors. So busy are they at
their job of promoting dssension within that they
failing to observe what is occurring back of the lines
Of the ultimate enemy.
Since 1928 presidential talk first began it has been
obvious that the Republican side Hoover has by far
the largest popular following
That he would make the strongest vote-getting
Republican candidate is admitted even by many OF
his most active enemies.
Now, with the nomination of Smith, what is likely
to happen if those Republicans who are against Hoover
at all cost are successful at Kansas City?
Could the dark horse that the Hoover opposition
wants to bring forth win against Al Smith?
Would the Republican party, already round
shouldered with the handicap of the oil scandal be
able to outrun the feet-footed New York Governor?
In the opinion Of this newspaper it would not.
We believe that Hoover is the only hope for a
Republican victory and that any other nominee the
Republicans might present would make 1928 DEM
ocratc year.
For whatever such opinion may be worth, it is
offered to Hiles of New York and Carmi Thompson
Of Ohio and all the others who ardently en-
gagged in trying to win in June that they for
getting the race doesn't end until November

The Boulder Dam Bill

One of the most important measures before Con-
gress this year is the Swing-Johnson bill for con-
struction of Boulder Canyon dam, upon which de-
bate starts in day two in the Senate.
This is not only flood control measure, though
flood control is the basic reason for its existence.
1t is not alone matter of protecting water rights
of Western States Of storing waters for irrigation,
though these major parts of the project
The question of international division of the waters
of the Colorado vital though it is, is not the most
pressing one concerned.
This project involves the question of whether the
Government of the United States may protect its
citizens from flood may secure them in their water
rights may save them from destruction by drought,
when doing these things will interfere in a
remote degree with the business of private power
companies.
Private power interests have fought Boulder dam
for years. not because the Government is gong into
business" because it is not but because they fear
the precedent established by Government participa-
ton in only angle of their business generation of
power will demonstrate to the country that rates
being charged the public are excessively high
To prevent this, power companies have organized
the strongest lobby ever seen in Washington.

New York World


In the familiar and inspiring at
mosphere of his home town of
winchester, Senator Watson of
Indiana announces his personal
platform as candidate for the
presidency. He is in favor of al
most everything except the World
international peace (but
an adequate" navy, high tariffs,
the NIcNary- Haugen bill, rigid dry
law enforcement, the Monroe Doc
trine, some kind of canal from
the lakes to the sea, privately
owned merchant marine, flood
control.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Watson
failed to mention the subject that
really interests Indiana and the
country in Indiana. That is the
astonishing reign of political SOUL
duggery in the higher manage
ment of Mr.. Watson's own party
in his State, the patronage mill,
the subserviency of the party to
the Khan, the amazing revela-
tons made by former Grand
Dragon Stephenson, now in prison
on a life sentence for numbering
a girl, in his long affidavit just
made public.
1t would have made Mr.. Wat
sons speech ever so much more
timely if he had discussed these
subjects. Perhaps his failure to do
so may be made good by Mr. Wat
sons opponents in his own party

So when Amanulah visited Paris, London and

it hard for them. He bought many things in the

governments had to foot the bill. They had to

Cheerfuly would they have booted him back to
