Massachusetts shows that hber-
atty of thought. LandOn Is .
Western man In every character.

ICKES STUMPS
EVERYONE ON
HIS PARTY
By GEORGE r. HOLMES
Copyright 1895. by International News
Servico)


CCopyright, 1895, BY International News
Servics)
An interesting controversy,
which has its humorous side, and
apparently involves the question
Of when is q Democrat not a
Democrat?" is engaging the deep
consideration of politicians here
and in Illinois.
Until the momentous question
can be answered, or some COM
promise worked out, it viii not be
determined whether the most be
titled member of the Roosevelt
cabinet. Secretary of the Interior
Harold l.. IckeS Is going to sit IN
the Philadelphia convention as a
delegate. Some Of IckeS' other
titles are PWA administrator, Fed
eral oil administrator, etc.
Would Go to Convention
Ickes would like to go to the
convention as q delegate from his
native State Of Illinois.
], Hamilton Lewis, the suave
senior Senator from Illinois, would
like to see him go: thinks by all
means he should. =.
But the hitch is that Honest
Harold" is q Republican-or q
Progressive Republican, as he pre-
ferS to call it-~and he won't
change. At least, he won't change
to the extent Of formally declaring
himself to be Q Democrat, as his
cabinet colleague, Secretary OF Ag.
riculture Henry A. Wallace, did a
few days ago in Iowa. Wallace
also was q Republican, or q Pro
gresSive Republican, upon enter
ing the Roosevelt cabinet.
Democratic organization leaders
of Illinois, including Michael Igoe,
insist that If they include 1ckes
in the Illinois delegation to Ph1lar
delphia he is going to have to
say he Is . Democrat.
Deadlock In Party
Thus far, Ickes has refused.
Thus far the Illinois organization
leaders have stubbornly maintained
their position. And thus far it is
unsettled whether Ickes is going.
To take q registered Republican
along to the convention as q dele
gate appeals to Igoe and his lieu
tenants as the height Of incon-
gruity, or something. It might
be bad for organization morale.
But Ickes Is also noted for his
stubborn traits. He takes the
position that he was invited into
the Roosevelt Cabinet as gesture
Of qualification and appreciation
for the support which millions Of
Progressive Republicans gave to
F. d. r. in 1882, and without whose
support he probably could not
have been elected. Ickes, incident
ally, was secretary of the Pro
gressive Republican League for
Roosevelt in 1881. He thinks that
now to formally abandon his polit-
ical classification would be an af-
front to his Progressive Republican
colleagues, and destroy the picture
Of Q bipartisan cabinet laboring
for the public veal.

WHAT OTHER
EDITORS SAY
"WORLD ASHAMED.

New York-(C)-The New York
Times, which heartily supported
the League of Nations at the begin
ming of the Italo-Ethiopian war, in
an editorial Tuesday headed "A
World Ashamed" says in part: "a
world ashamed at the breakdown
of plans for collective security
must set to work to make better
ones. BY some means the civiliz-
ed world must make it certain that
event like those which have taken
place in Ethiopia since last Octo-
Der cannot again occur. 1t may be
done by binding agreements among
nations. 1t may be done
by a powerful organization en-
bracing all countries. But in one
way or another it must be done, il
civilization Is not to be compelled,
from time to time, to inspect itself
and be ashamed Of what It discov-
ers."
