~ PAGE SIX BY GEOR It has been known at all times sipce last June that our next President will be Warren G. Hard- ing. The forecasters have spoken confidently and their cocksureness has not been inspired by a belief in the dark presence of any “slush fund” or a mere confidence in the managerial alertness of Wil} Hays or a conviction that:the American people are opposed to getting tied into a hard knot with the intricate interior politics of Europe. No—the man who has been standing on the side lines and keeping-his head cool has been serenely assured all the time that the Republi- cans are going to win hands down this year be- cause they have had a very brilliant man working in their behalf for the last four years or more, and ~AX REPUBLICAN YEAR-—W bite. BI GE ADE. war as an allegorical tableau, of which he was the central figure, it is now a matter. of record that ithe brunt of the war work was cheerfully as- sumed by men, who had previously. been mis- trusted by Mr. Wilson and who; at the present writing, are not to be classed.as his defenders. The highest campliment that anyone can pay the army, and the navy is to say that they continued to function in spite of Newton D. Baker and Jose- phus Daniels. f The big men tcok ordérs from the little men, being somewhat sustained by a sense of himor. Those who could serve did so.

I refed to Dr. Wilson, for- merly of Princeton. He has worn down his audience by converting the National Hymn into a tenor solo, done with a foreign accent, even the people who purchased ed/autocrat. / You may remember in 1918 it was proclaimed from the White House that voting the Demo- cratic ticket would be Yegarded at headquarters as an evidence of loyalty. That supremely idiotic librettos could not tell what he was singing about | letter is still one of the reasons why the Demo= most of the time. t They have’ had enough of the one man show; and are giving their patronage to a star per-| former who is not afraid to carry a strong sup- porting company. The American people have become weary of looknig up at a rancid superman surrounded by a fog and messenger boys. The Republican victory is impending not be- cause of opposition to the League of Nations, but because men and women wish to register their deep disgust by voting against the party of which Mr. Wilson has:been the figurehead and thé fore- quarters and the hindquarters through many months of suffering. . All the voters who are not extreme Democrats by wilful force of habit are going to take a final punch at the administration which has played “tag” and “drop the Handkerchief” and “ring | around the rosy” with the most sacred and sincere convictions of the American people. The home folks are seeing a lot of things in perspective, now that they couldn’t see through the smoke and dust of a world war in 1916. They see (even the misguided farniers of Kan- sas and Nebraska who thought that the price of wheat was the paramount issue in 1916) that the refusal of Mr. Wilson and his boy ghoir to get ready for the inevitable conflict with Germany was stupidly colossal and almost unbelievable. Americans who haye memories and reasoning faculties and the ability to make fair deductions know now, in the light of our revelations, that when Mr. Wilson, all during 1916, said that he had kept us out of war and. WOULD keep us out of war, he knew that he had to resent the in- sults of Germany or -else placard ourselves as cravens and weaklings. He knew, because he had the evidence in the pigeon-holes of Ris desk. =’ The thousands of citizens who voted for Mr. Wilson because they thought it would be a nide thing to keep out of war and keep-on making money, did not know of that damning and piled up evidence of Germany’s fperfidy. Mr. Wilson} concealed the facts‘ brought to him by the Secret Service, and Colonel House and Mr. Gerard and numerous other emissaries and continued to ad- | minister the-chloroform. He seemed to proceed | ‘upon the theory that if a man‘comes into a house and makes a criminal assault oh your daughter, no harm is done unless the neighbors happen to hear it. During that long wait, while we were under sentence of war, and trying to hide the truth from ourselves, Mr. Wilson took no counsel from the strong men of the nation. He had hasheeshed himself into the belief that he was the only strong man in the nation. : Only the mandolin players were admitted to the royal presence. The Creels and Bakers and Josephuses knelt. before him and burned incense ‘and sang their sexless love‘songs. That pre-war period now lingers in the mem- ory as a harrowing night-mare. One day the White House would be bleating like a lamb and the next day itewould be roaring like a lion. Finally we kicked into the war. Do you re- member that ringing proclamation as to “making the world safe for democracy.” If so, can you remember a little farther back, say to January |to pick up and go to Europe. crats are going to be snowed under this fall. zs But the bulk of the burning resentment against Wilsonism has been engendered since the sign- ing of the armistice. and overwork of a great war: ‘A hundred vexing domestic problems confronted the powers at Washington. In every mind there was the desire for an immediate and effective peace and a right about movement toward normal conditions. Every American who had been a student ofevents prob- ably took it for granted that the President would rise above partisan considerations and send to the Peace Conference a group of men experienced in statecraft, diplomacy and international law. Suppose he “had fulfilled the sane’ expecta- tions of his countrymen. Suppose he had named a non-partisan delegation consisting of Col. House, Mr. Lansing, Mr. Gerard; Elihu Root, Dayid Jayne | Hill and Charles E. Hughes and entrusted to them all the work of settling with Germany and com- ing ‘to some international agreement as to future arbitrations and enforcements? Does any one idoubt that these men, unhampered by aie, tions, would have protected America’to,the limit? The war would now be in the past tense;and some sort of a League would be in operation. Instead of being despised and distrusted by our Euro- pean neighbors we would be working in harmony with them for the restoration of a battered con- tinents { if ~The American people’did not want Mr. Wilson That was where he and his party lost out; definitely} with the quiet, level-headed, meditative voters. Mr. Wil- son did a silly thing‘in a most imperial manner— special ships\ and huge retinues and great expen- ditures and-even those who had followed him around the circus lot through five yeats..of acro- batics began to throw up their hands.- He went to Europe with a “mandate.” Before going he had consulted with no_one except the pale menials who brought flowers to’ him every morning. He and his policies had just been re- pudiated by an overwhelming majority at an elec- tion which had been made a test contest at his own request. ‘In any other country in the world the adyerse vote would have retired him to private life. It never feazed.the Doctor. He dusted himself off and ‘started to Europe with a “man- date.” It reads like “Alice in Wonderland,” doesn’t it?» “ ; 7 ‘In every capital of Europe there was a glorified street carnival and on the highest platform with the spot-light turned on him, was our beloved President, blowing’ bubbles. He was going’ to Santa Claus the whole universe without any-as- sistance whatsoever. / He scattered promises with both hands and you know the sequel. He brought home a cov- enant which up to the time it was laid before’ ‘|the Senate, had keen inspected and approved by to be interested in the contents. He said to the United States of America, “Sign here,” and the U. S. A. said, “Wait a minute,” and the trouble started. . , We are still at war with Germany, technically. The covenant is out in the cold, with winter 1917, when our President advised all of the fight-|coming on. Our flag is regarded by our ‘ate ing nations to lay down'their arms and accept “peace without victory.” Tf the world had to be made safe for demperacy in April, why had any one favored letting democ- racy go to smash in the preceding January? These are questiorfs that people are now ask-| ing themselves and they are questions that the Biographer and Historian will have to answer. When a rhetorician. starts. to buzz, he is apt to buzz in a good many keys before he gets} through. \ We didn’t go into the. war to make thé world safe for anything. We went in because we had been slapped and kicked until we either had to fight or go,hide in the cellar. After we went in, every one hoped, of course, that the war would result in a grand cleanup or a settlement which would be a prelude to many years of peace. . Although Mr. Wilson’ seemed to regard the allies as a symbol of double-dealing. All because the stiff-necked egotism of one man had stood in the way of @.cothpromise settlement which would have been ‘quite acceptable to Europe. For fifty years the Democrats have. insisted that the party in power must stand or fall by the acts of the administration. “They cannot: re- verse the ruling this year. The Republicans are going to win because our whole country is satu- rated with disapproval of Wilsonism. _The Dem- ocrats, who in past years, organized the States, put up the money and made the speeches, are now sitting back, apathetic, secretly pulling for Harding, They are delighted to learn that he who contributes to a campaign fund is a near criminal, In the weantime Mr. Cox, vociferously avoiding the.issue of Wilsonism, has succeeded in proving that if the Republicans are lucky they will get enough money to pay their legitimate expenses.
