It Was altogether like Newton Baker, secretary of war, to get balled up on the events of thé war, but nobody ex- pected him to get balled so badly. Not him best and For For For For For For Yor For For For even those who know know that he knows nothing about the administration of the war office and has proved it conclusively to the American public, during his so-called administration. But the public was not quite pre- pared for the most recent bréak Baker made. When in his speech at the late Democratic state convention at Colum- bus, Ohio, in order to male his case 00d and strong for the Wilson league Ihe pistered , American soldiérs dying upon the batdefields of France for the Wilson Leagué of Nations, when in fact the War Was long over, the armis- tice slgned and months of time lapsed before the Wilson league was dumped upon a patient and long-suffering world, While Wilson Has claimed that thé Boys went to Europe for 4 number of fanciful purposes, he never claimed that they went to establish ad league of nations; and Cox, with all of his loose talk and irresponsible statements, has not réached this limit. Franklin D. his even stopped short of a claim of this character. So little old Baker has beat them)all to it. He has added a new object for our War activiti abroad, even though he was compelled to turn history wrong ond to, to do it. Give the pulrh to Baker, when you give him the laugh. NOT A HIGH OPINION The object of Fraiklin D. Roosevelt's selection for the vice presidential office by the party of Wilson, was itr tlic hope that the name ‘Roosevelt would at- tract the old admirers und followers of Theodore Roosevelt, and induce them to vote with the Wilson’ party. » And while Franklin D. 13 wardering lp and down the country appéaling to Itepublicans afd others to carry tito effect the object for which he was nomi- nated, it might be well to repeat the opinion Colonel Theodore Roosevelt h¢ld of Wilson ‘aiid the Wilson party. We trust that both (Wilson and Wranklin D. enjoy it’s repetition. meee | #1 criticise him now beeause he has Adroitly and. cleverly and with sinister ability appealed to all that is Weakest and most unworthy in the American character; and also because he has adroitly and cleverly and with sinister ability sought to mistead many men and Womeh Who a¥e neither weak nor un- worthy, But who have beén misled by a shadow darice of words. “Hé has made our statcsmanship a 0 thing of empty elocution. “He has covered his fear of standing for the right behind a veil of rhetorical phrases. “He has Wrapped the tue heart of the nation ih a spangled shroutl of rhetoric. “He has kept the eyes of the people dazzled so that they know not what 18 real an@ what is false.

In that respeet he differs from the gentlemen who havé been in eontrol of tht Demdcratfe party. Speaking of profiteering he asserted the Republican purpose to prevent un- reasonable pfofits and ‘to challenge profiteéring with all the moral force and tH€ Tegal powers of the Govern- ment.’* But he reminded the people of the coulitry that law is not the sole cor-} réctive of our economic ills. in his. speech of acceptance Sensor! Harding declared his oppositidn to} Govérhment ‘ownership of railways. Discussing economic problems he de-} clared that, ‘When comipetition—na- tural, fair, impeling competition:—is! suppressed whother by law, compact, or HOW SUFFRAGE WAS OBTAINED REPUBLICAN .
