When the .very constitu- | tion which the president has taken, oath to sup- | port and defend, is disregarded and dishonored by him, we'll say there is at least something involved | in the campaign. | When a president attempts to supercede the | basic law of his country with an article. ten he | places himself in a class with Benedict Arnold. And when he plans to erect a super-government above the one he has been entrusted to mule he is | guiltier than Aaron Burr. | And when he betrays the confidence of the peo- ple and lies to them; as he did in 1916 and de- ceives them as he has done times out of number in the past seven years, Judas Iscariot is a. credit to him. So far asthe honor and’ destiny of the nation ! are concerned, the one will endure no further | shame and the other will suffer no interruption in | its-honorable fulfillment, for rescue is at hand and the sacred things of the republic will shortly pass into safe hands. | HISTGRICAL PARALLEL, ; During the famous Lincoln-Douglas ‘debates | just previous to the civil war, early in the series, Judge Douglas made a. charge against Lincoln, | which was answered fully- the next time Lincoln | spoke. When Douglas reiterated the charge the second and third time, totally disregarding the Lin- coln denial, the great emancipator said: “This charge has been made twice before and twice have [ answered it—what more can | do? If I could re- duce an argyment to the consistency of a corncob I would stick it down the judge’s throat.” Now then, alluding to a subject with which you are all,more or less familiar, and drawing its ob- vious parallel. Numerous times has James Cox re- peated, recited, related, rehearsed, reiterated, echoed and chewed over charges of a tremendous corruption fund with which to purchase the presi- dency. These foolish and imaginary accusations were promptly disproved. They were frequently disproved, and: by numerous people. Furthermore, it was indisputably established that James Cox is a —pardon the alliteration—lurid- liar. What more can we do? If we could reduce denial and evidence to the consistency of a bed slat we would lead’ James Cox to the woodshed, drape hin carefully over a barrel and apply the bed slat to the exact and par- ticular locality in such cases made and provided. By this means we might be able to penetrate his understanding. It seems impossible by the usual and normal methods. THE COMPARISON ODIOUS. Mr. Cox constantly ventures upon thin ice. It is not that he has,nerve, it is because he is fool- ish and lacks sense. He recently varied his hymn- of- corruption to one of denunciation. The target being the nomi- nation of Senator Harding, which he claimed was made by a small group of men, He was ‘good enough in this case, at least to come forward with specifications. Here they are: Henry Cabot Lodge, James W. Wadsworth, Reed Smoot, James E. Wat- son, Warren Harding, Medill McCormick, Frank B: Brandegee and George Harvey. Seven of the gen- tlemen are widely-known and honorable United States senators. The eighth is an: eminent pub- licist. These United States senators have been honored by. possibly. the greatest group of states in‘the Union, with’ election by the people to the highest legislative body in the world. No taint of dishonor attaches to any one of them. Col. Harvey is conceded to: be the greatest of all of the great- editors of the nation. There is no more basis for this. particular charge of Mr. Cox than there has been for any. of , | They. wear plaid vests, heavy watch chains and af- | foresaw this menace when he warned us against en- | tangling alliances and’ meddling abyoad, but I see | | it, and'I say, to you that all. America must stan e others he has made. And theye is fully as much fabrication in. it. : H ; On the other hand, what can‘ be said by Mr. TE ONE ~ne ree rne= se Ben --° | Cox and his friends of the eminent; patriots, just |! | half the number alleged to have been concerned in {the nomination of Mr. Harding, to-wit: Messrs.

These distinguished highbinders are not United States. senators. They are professional’ politicians. Representative of all that is dishonorable in poli- | tics. The plenipotentiaries of the liquor interests. fect large, fat cigars. They frequent race tracks and attend poker parties. They are parasites. We are extremely willing to. match groups with Mr. Cox and give him odds. A LUSTROUS DEMOCRATIC FAKE. It would have been much more to the credit of a Democratic congress, if, when the theft of the | Aldrich banking and currency. plan was committed that more of it was not taken. Enough, at least, to make it workable and answer the public needs for which it was designed. In that event the necessity would not now arise | for the great livestock industries of the country to | beg. and plead ‘with political appointees, who are politicians and not bankers, for renewals and relief, and the promised performance of, the functions of federal reserve banks so loudly acclaimed before the day of emergency, arrived. It is no greater disgrace to be hung for purloin- ing a grown sheep than it is a lamb. Then why did | not the Democratic congress take the additional | features from the Aldrich monetary. recommenda- tions and make their law adequate and complete?

A’ study of this Democratic fake will be worth while ta those who have had fond hope that it was what. it. was. represented to be. THE AMERICAN. FEELING, “T want: America on guard against that course which naturally tends to array Americans against each other. I do not know whether Washington firm against this dangerous end destructive and un- American policy. Meddling is not only dangerous to us, because it leads us into the entanglements against which Washington warned us, but it algo threatens an America divided'in her own household, and tends to drive into groups seeking to make | themselves felt in our political life, men and: women | whose hearts are led away. from ‘America first’ to | ‘hyphen first.’ ” This is the way Warren Harding feels about it: This is the way all liberty-loving Americans should feel about it. And those who come among us to make their homes and carve out their fortunes, should culltivate the same feeling or return to the land from whence they, came. *TWAS FRANKLIN D.
