Back Home Again

They return today, the men who journeyed
TO Kansas City from Indiana under the leader
ship of Senator James Eli Watson.
They have performed great public service
in that they have demonstrated most COM
pletely that their claim to being Republicans or
representing Republican sentiment or ideals is
false
They have machine-but it is no longer a
Republican machine except in name.
They refused, even after his nomination, to
indorse the candidacy of Herbert Hoover,
which rather separates them from any national
claims.
The chairman, Eliza Rogers, under the hyp-
notism of Watson, announced in advance that
he did not believe Hoover Gould carry Indiana
which meant, of course, that his organization
would not try. That ought to call for action.
The farmers . parade, according to the
Associated Press, was led by three of the In
diana prohibition agents, chief of whom was
Jack Maroney, the only man admitted to see
Stephenson after the former dragon had de-
clared that he would produce proof of politi
cal corruption.
Inasmuch as these fake farmers receive
their jobs from Senators Watson and Robinson,
it is to be presumed that they acted with the
full consent and approval and perhaps orders
of these two men.
The candidate for Governor Harry Leslie,
was reported to be working in full accord with
the Watson program. The candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, Ed Bush, made himself con-
spicuous by waving a British flag and de-
nouncing the presidential candidate.
Governor Ed jackson, lonesome delegate,
contributed his share to the excursion by jour-
neying to Leavenworth, few miles away, to
console Clyde Walb.
The conduct, activities and purposes of the
Watson machine have released the real Reas-
publicans of the State from any consideration
Of party loyalty to their State candidates.
The great rank and file of the Republican
party, who know how often they have been be-
trayed and Inundated, will readily grasp
the situation. In State affairs they know that
the decency for which Herbert Hoover stands
in the Nation is to be found in Indiana under
the standard of Frank Daley.
Party labels this year in Indiana are mean
ingless.

Mellon Ruled Farley

If the show were staged by any
single one of them more than an
other, it would be by Uncle Andrew
Mellon.
Uncle would be the first to deny
such a charge, but what is the use?
Is he not the man who swung the
Pennsylvania delegation into line,
even if Ware did speak out of turn
and steal curtain call. Was he not
the man who suffered over to the
Illinois section after Lowden with
drew and helped corral twenty-four
Hoover votes from that State, and
was he not the man in whose room
the conference was held that vir-
tually assured the nomination of
Senator Curtis for the vice presi-
dency?

Sore Spots Healing

The convention leaves sore spots,
of course, but not to any such ex-
tent as was feared by some Re
publican leaders, or as was hoped
for by the Democrats.
The possibility of a third party,
or even a serious detection has
about vanished. What ever else it
may have accomplished, the Re-
publican national convention has
virtually reduced the element Of
doubt in this convention to those
independent voters who can only
be reached and moved by a con-
structive program.
There are enough of them to de-
termine the result, but the Repub-
lican party, with all its scandal
and corruption, with its blah-blah
platforms and its defiance of the
farm bloc, has not aliented a suff1-
cient number to guarantee the
Democrats majority, or anything
like 1t.
Neither is the ticekt it has nom
mated, with Secretary Hoover for
President and Senator Curtis for
Vice President, a weak one.
The Democratic party faces no
easy task. 1t will have to earn the
right to win if it wins, will have
to offer the American people some
thing not only by way of a ticket,
but a platform which is definitely
and understandably superior.

'Biruni Arab author wrote in about the year 1000
A. D.:
HE whose roof is heaven, who has no other cover
whom the stars continually rise and set in one

fairs and his knowledge of time depend upon them"
And nderin told Ben Hur at the Orchard of
Palms:
Thou canst not know how much we Arabs de-
pend upon the stars We borrow their in graft
tude and give them in love-"
Perhaps the stars can never mean as much to us
they did to the Arabs.
But with little study and acquaintance we too
can feel that the stars friends.
Learn the names of the Big Dipper by heart You
will be surprised to find out how much more the dip
per means to you then.

! Bridge Play

(Abbreyiations: A-ace; liking; O.

ITO encourage bidding on the part
u of your partner is the primary
purpose Of the opening bid. Your
opening bid conveys a partial des-
cription of your hand that partner
can use to excellent advantage.
Suits in the order Of their encour-
agement are as follows:
l. A minor suit. 1t encourages a
no trump or another suit bid that
may eventually lead to a game-go-
ing declaration. 1t denies sound
major or sound no-trumper.
2. A no-trump. 1t encourages a
major suit declaration.
3. A major suit. Offers least en-
couragement for better declara-
ton.
From the foregoing and the prev
ious articles we now may make the
following observations:
1. Never bid suit Of less than
four cards Ca short suit)
2. Never make an initial bid on
less than two quick tricks.
3. To make an opening bid. third
hand requires at least u quick trick
more than first or second hand re-
quires for an initial bid.
4. To make an opening bid,
fourth hand requires at least one
quick trick more than first or second
hand requires for an initial bid.
S. In a no-trumper three suits
must be stopped in any position, ex-
cept when holding four quick tricks
concentrated in two short suits.
6. In a no-trumper singleton
less than the A is dangerous.
7. In an initial no-trumper a
worthless doubleon is a weak spot,
unless the hand is otherwise very
strong.
8. In third and fourth positions
the danger of a worthless doubleon
decreases.
8. Fourth hand should not open
the bidding unless he can prevent
opponents from making game should
they capture the bid later.
10. The opening bid should be in
formatory and encouraging.

Cut and Dried Before

Without rejecting in any way on

the appearance of fairness which

vention listened to the speeches OF
a helpless opposition it is only COM
mon sense to assume that the steam
roller could not have functioned
so smoothly without having been
we'll creased and prepared before
hand.
Those in charge obviously knew
what they could do and just how to
do it before the gavel was placed in
the temporary chairman's hands
knew that Coolidge would not be a
candidate-the McNary- Haugen bill
would be disapproved-that Senator
Boz an would be permitted to in
corr crate a dry plank in the plat
form and that Herbert Hoover
would be nominated.
The one thing they did not know,
perhaps was that Senator Curtis
was to be nominated for the Vice
Presidency, but that was too
palpably in accord with good polit-
ical strategy to cause much doubt
when the time came.

Concerned With Policies

The idea that three or four mil
lion votes which the Democratic
party needs to win this election can
be changed by wise cracks, clever
stump work or campaign whoopa is
sheer nonsense. So, too, is the
idea, that they can be changed by
historical criticisms of Republi-
can administration.
The American people looking
ahead, not backward, disguised as
they may feel toward the graft and
corruption that have characterized
the Republican administration, they
are far more concerned with the
general management of the coun-
try, with the policies to be adopted,
with the program of economic de-
velopment, with the solution of So
cial, industrial and agricultural
problems.
They are asking themselves not
what the Republican party has
failed to accomplish, but what the
Democratic party can and will do
to improve matters.

The Platform

Oh, for the time to when, just to be interest
ing, if for other reason, the minority report will
become the majority! Mnorities are always inter-
esting.
The real punch in the Republican convention plat

reared 1t Uhe first oratorical thrill of the con-
vention. His presentation of the minority report was

at leisure by every student of current politics.
was voted down.
Now as to the majority document.
Political platforms traditionally are expected to
talk much, but say nothing controversial issues
The one offered by the Republicans in Kansas City
runs true to form. with few pleasing exceptions
Regarding labor it does speak up. It admits abuse
of injunctions
About war it does commit itself to the principle
of drafting wealth as we'll
It is unequvocal on debt cancellation 1t is force
full and rather direct on home rule.
It's declaration on public economy in the main Is
justified for President Cooldges best service to the
Nation has been in restraint both on needless appro
priations and on too liberal tax reduction.
In that connection However it should not be
overlooked that there has been accompanying ten
dency to shift the tax burden from the wealthy to
the poor, tendency which has been partially pre-
vented by progressives Of both parties.
Beyond those few bright spots, there is the usual
fog of evasive words.
The corruption plank is clumsy effort to claim
credit for prosecutions that forced by liberal in
surgents and Democrats. The same for the plank on
campaign expenditures.
The foreign relations section works both sides
of the street. 1t points with pride at what has been
going on in Nicaragua and HayH, and in the next
breath says: 1.-THE Republican party maintains the
traditional American policy of noninterference in the
political affairs of other nations"
A sparkling jewel of inconsistency calculated to
dazzle and blind the voter.
The two most disputed questions of the day are
prohibition and farm relief. The prohibition plank
is old stuff dressed in words. 1t favors law
forcement, as has every plank on the subject pre-
scented by both political parties since prohibition went

case Of the song being ended, with the melody nger

AS for the farmer he is patted on the back, he
has been since the first platform was born. He is
fed with language. He is told what great help to
him is the tariff And for good measure he is re-
minded that he has rural free delivery.
But after ALL what matters most is not words,
but deeds.
And deeds depend leaders

was a good convention, as con-
ventions go, and typically Repub-
lican in its clocklike precision. The
result is we'll balanced ticket from
the standpoint of political ex-
pediency and a platform that is alb
solutely harmless.
Looking backward, one is i'm
pressed with the idea that the pro-
gram was made out before the con-
vention assembled, and that nothing
happened, but that those in charge
were careful to preserve the element
Of suspense.
The surprise part of the plot is
to be found in the general result,
rather than in any detail One week
ago a certain group of bankers IN
Wall Street, a certain group OF
professional farm believers in the
Middle West, and large number
of practical" politicians were will
ing to bet that Hoover could not
possibly be nominated. Now they
are wondering how it happened.
It happened because for once in
their lives Republican leaders had
sense enough not to defy the wishes
of the rank and file of the party.
One reason why the rank and file
of the party was for Hoover was
because the bankers. the profess
sional farm believers and the "prac-
teal" politicians we're so sure he
could not be nominated.
That in itself was enough to make
him popular with the rank and file
and those leaders who had sense
enough to be not too practical"
realized it.

Dry cells when discharged con-

short time. This procedure does

sentative of actual service condi-

II ANsAs CITY, June is. A
IN united Republican party
started propositions today for what
is expected to be one of the hardest
campaign fights in it's varied life.
Hoover and Curtis constitute q
strong ticket in the opinion of most
political leaders and press observers.
The wounds of battle and bitter
