What Are the Issues? That is the Big Issue

| This is bewildering campaign. and it becomes more so as 1t pro- sresses. If we could have heard just one speaker and then kept away from radios and newspapers. | no doubt We could see how simple it all was and vote accordingly. but | as it is we get more entangled in uncertainty every time we hear a speech or see a press report.
 At first it seemed that there was nothing to do but choose between the republicans and the democrats. Then the nominations were made and the element of Smith vs. Hoover was introduced. Next, the parties began to introduce issues, and every thing became inextricably jumbled. They can't agree on the issues. They can't even agree among them- selves or with themselves for more than a day or two. If you hear one speaker the dominant issue is prohibition. The next one tells you it isfarm relief. A third in- sists on protective tariff. Still an- other says corruption is the issue. And fifth makes religion an issue by saying that 1t isn't one.
 There isn't even agreement In the same party. smith is campaigning through the North and East and the democrats believe he is wet. :. Robinson is stumping the South and his hearers believe the party IS dry. Hoover says that he is opposed to putting the government into business and Ambassador Her rick promptly states this means Hoover is against the power trust. while Hiram Johnson out in Cali fornia states that he is for Hoover despite the fact that Hoover is not against the power trust. Now what can a poor voter believe?
 No party, in fact. seems able to hold to the same opinion for 30 consecutive seconds. The republi- cans. for example, started out to stress prosperity and laid 1t to re- publican government Now they say it is due to private initiative. Once they wanted government to keep its hands off business com pletely. and now they have come around to saying that it shouldn't enter business but should control it. The democrats began the cam paign with competitive tariff, and at the present they seem to be as much protectionists as their op- ponents It's all quite distressing you see.
 Because of the fact that the voters must be terribly confused by such chaos, not even the omniscient Observer can predict the outcome. We will say that if Hoover gets 266 electoral votes he will be elected: | it he doesn't, Smith will become president Which one will be the successful candidate we dare not forecast. except that 1t will not be Thomas or Varney.

No Demonstration for Cox When He Visited City h 1920.

The visit of Governor Alfred E.

 For several days prior to the visit of Cox, newspaper offices were flooded with advance announce ments giving the details of the presidential trains itinerary. com mittees were working on arrange ments and the campaign speakers prepared a formal program to bs
