Speculating upon the outcome of the Demo- cratic national convention which assembles in New York next Tuesday, ’ = chance for history to repeat itself. It is always in order to cast your eye back over previous con- ventions for points of similarity in surrounding conditions. And in some respects the Democratic convention of 1912 held at Baltimore, resembles the 1924 convention to be held in New York. In * each instance, the Democratic party was out of » power and howling calamity, In each instance there were two outstanding candidates in the : pre-conyention campaign. Champ Clark and * Woodrow Wilson in 1912 and Al Smith and Wil- liam G. McAdoo in 1924. In each case there were ta number of dark horses. In each case there ands William J. Bry In each case Mr. an. * ence, In 1912 he was opposed to Champ Clark | on person{l grounds and after a long drawn out contest, with thirteen candidates, on the forty: 5 sixth ballot Mr. Bryan carried the convention over to Woodrow Wilson and defeated his per sonal enemy who had a majority of the conven: | tion but not the required two-thirds. The credit | for the nomination was never withheld from Mr. Bryan. He became Mr. Wilon’s secretary of state and the object of Mr, Clark’s cordial hatred. Mr. Bryan will be a member of the New York of Governor Al Smith who holds the relative po- * sition in the New York convention that Champ Clark held in the Baltimore conyention. The for the 1920 convention at San Francisco does not mea at he will fall short in New York. He is in position to say to his brethren “I told “ you so. I warned you against Cox and his wetness and now I am warning you against Al Smith . and his wetness.” Mr. Bryan is in position to nominate Mr. Mc- . Adoo who is far short of the two-thirds: major- ity, if he cares to do so and if he believes Mr. McAdoo the strongest party candidate. Thus far the two conventions would be prac- tically duplicates. But Mr. Bryan may have a notion that one of the dark horses would make a’ better candidate, anyone of them save Cox, one unknown and one who has figured little out- side his home state, like Ralston for instance. Ralston may appeal to Bryan and no doubt does, The one fact. is plain it will neyer be Al Smith if Bryan can prevent it. It is said that Mr. McAdoo is not deep in the Bryan good graces, but then what other out- standing Democratic candidate for the presi- dency ever was since 1896? That is purely a mat- ter of politics and can be adjusted when Mr. Bryan is given to understand that this is not his year to run. He has not had sufficient rest. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. McAdoo can win the nomination if he has Mr. Bryan’s help at the crucial moment. We may kid Mr. Bryan all we please, even hbut it was not wise. speak unkindly of him and poke fun at him, but there is no denying the fact of his great influ- ence in his party and his party conventions. He is a past master at political maneuvering. He * has the faculty of handling the factions and lin- * ing them up together, and his record on some things, prohibition for one thing, is a tower of strength to him. Aside from other things, he prides himself upon being the Warwick in tho years when he himself is not the candidate. he years 1912 and 1924 may yet turnout very similar occasions in Democratic party history, Dawes’ Wide Appeal Had Mr. Coolidge been willing he could haye at any moment dictated the. choice of his run- ~ ning mate, But he would not, His political Mr. Butler, tried to and failed. ntion chose for second place with the same wisdom that prompted ir choice of residential candidate, Son of ( ral Rufus Jawes, commander of Wisconsin's famous Tron * Brigade, Gen.

Why more of the idiotic proposals were not enacted into law was for the sole reason that they were not sufficiently idiotic to suit those in control of the machine. There was a bill introduced in the house dur- ing the session that embodied a particularly outrageous proposition, It is languishing in the judiciary committee, where it should lan- guish, and it is to be hoped will never be re- ported out. It is known as H. R. 0293 the pas- age of which would incorporate a number of individuals who are named in the Dill as “a body politic and corporate by the name style and title of the World Commerce Corporation and by that name have perpetual succession.” This pyyposed organization is to be a “National Public Service Corporation.” ybody knows that a so-called “public service corporation” is one organized for pri- vate gain and carried on to the extreme limit of greed and monopoly. The service may be service is generally as meager as possible, while the charges and ex- actions are as high as possile. To organize a national public service corporation to exist for all time to come would simply be to turn the country over to a soulless, grasping corporation which, with the passage of time, would have every industry within its grasp. It is true that the bill provides for ‘the organization of other like corporations, but that is a meaning- less gesture. iS It is only necessary to read the bill in ques- tion to gain am idea of the ambitious designs of the proposed founders. Briefly, it is propoed that the corporation be authorized to go into the business of “producing or otherwie acquir- ing crude petroleum, asphaltum crude rubber and other raw materials in foreign countries.” These they are to sell to the people of the United States. In order to make its monopoly more complete and to drive every domestic producer of “raw materials” out of business, this corporation pro- poses to establish “foreign trade zones” at “stra- tegic points.” That is, it would establish the free trade zones in this country which congress has refused to establish as a governmental sys- tem. Can anyone see congress voting to a private corporation the right to establish for its private benefit a } rh it refuses to establish for the government itself? A pro- tectionist congress would be very unlikely to al- low a public service corporation for private gain to establish a system which would ineyit- A free-trade congres would be quite as unlikely to pass a measure providing for a perpetual private monopoly. But that is not all. The corporation would go into the warehouse and transportation bus- iness, would establish purchasing and selling agencies establish a banking busines, carry on a general merchandising, exporting and import ing business, buy, sell and operate shipping and vehicles of all kinds, drill for, mire and produce petroleum, natural gas, minerals, met als and substances of all and every kind, acquire operate and carry on refining and manufactur- ing plants and businesses of every nature and kind, and to deal in stocks and bonds, and de- bentures and mortgages of all kinds, buy, sell of every nature and kind as it sees fit. The only limitation on its action seems to be com- prised in the words, “deemed necesary, useful, or convenient,” the corporation itself doing the “deeming.” It is a sort of “go-as-you-please,” “catch-as- catch-can” universal monopoly that is proposed, and its authorized capital “shall be $2,000,000,- 000.” It seems impossible that anyone could think for a moment that any congress would author- ize any such outrageous, dangerous undertak- ing. The proposition is an unparalleled in- sult to American intelligence. Tt Was Fortunate When Grover Cleveland forsaking his nor- mal discretion, wrote his tariff-smashing mes sage in 1887 he delighted a host of impracti cables epee Vest, of Missouri, said that the president had challenged the protected in dustries to a fight for extermination An old French Marshal saw: the Light Bri- gade charge on to assured slaughter and mur- mured: “It is magnificent, but it is not war.” Senator Vest’s speech was ringing, it raised enthusiasm, it made a striking headline, The protected industries did not intend to be exterminated. They saw the Mills bill defeated in the senate, and the Democratic party beaten at the polls in No- vember, ws - In 1882 Cleveland had swept the Empire state by 192,000. Had the manufacturing in- dustries of that state been exterminated he would not, in 1888, have come within half a million of carrying New York. He might, per- more than half of them, Four years later he won. Had our manufacturers been extermin- ated, had the Democratic party had to bear the odium of wrecked industry, it would not have been worth while for it to hold a conyention and nominate a ticket. Imagine the skilled artisans of foreign birth going back to Europe, or hunt- ing a livlihood in the wilds. Imagine the pauper. ism and the bread riots. Had the Democratic party exterminated our manufacturers it would have been far worse off than it was at the end of the Civil war, Mr. Cleveland in 1894 permitted a low tar- iff bill to become the law. That -year there were more Republican Congressmen elected be- low Mason’s and,Dixon’s line than Democrats elected above it. Four presidential elections went against the Democracy, and in the fifth the Taft and Roosevelt vote greatly exceeded that for Mr. Wilson. Of course, various causes were at work, but the fear that a low tariff pol- iey would close ‘mills and deprive workers of wages had a great deal to do with the results, Would the slogan “Extermination to the pro- tected industries” have been a prudent one?” After his second term Mr. Cleveland took great interest in the affairs of Princeton Uni- versity. If the factories of New Jorsey, New now promises real peace for Europe he has gained the adm n of the world.

The thing always to aim at is a permanent bud- |, get ‘system, cutting the coat according to the cloth, and pursuing a sober plan of regulated governmental outlay never beyond what is nec- essary, year after year. If there is a surplus, it should be taken as a sign that taxes are too high and should be remitted. This is precisely what Secretary Mellon undertook to do with this year’s surplus. But in the eyes of the ordinary congressmen, a surplus is simply an added in-| citement to lavish appropriations. He flings himself upon it with the glee of Corporal Tan- ner, crying: “God help the eaEpiaes, Such a frame af mind in congress goes ill with steady bac a of He nation’s. finances. To it a surplus seems only a tempting lw while a deficit nothing but a Raaipacary Sahel dis- agreeable obstacle which it is easy enough for keen-witted’ legisdators to get around.

The League Ghost Col. Edward M. House confidential adviser to the late President Wilson, has broken a long silence to demand a league of nations plank in the Democratic national platform. As a matter of fact the party has been trying to forget this old issue, long since settled by repudiation by both congress and people. One. candidate, who will be before the convention; James M. Cox, vo far as, reported is still in love with. the old issue, but he is likely to get about as far toward nomination as the league of nations issue’ will toward incorporation in the platform. Growth of Calvin Coolidge The New York Times is a staunch expounder of Democracy. It is one of the ablest newspapers on that side of the fence. Unlike the World it is fair, reasonable and just. Above all it does not kid itself like the World does. It has,too much sense not to know and recognize what its own party is up against in the approaching) campaign. On the eve of its party national con- vention it talks very plainly to the delegates who will select the standard bearer and at the same time pays just credit to Mr. Coolidge.

DEALERS—Your Trade Will Appreciate the Offer of Milk and Cream From the YELLOWSTONE DAIRY 1328 East C Street Phone 2518 Lines and Angles BY TED OSBORNE F. James Russell Lowell said of a-public man that you could almost hear him grow, as it was said that you could hear the corn grow on a hot night in Iowa. The growth of Mr, Coolidge from a colorless vice president into the fame which is already attached to his name in the presi- dency is one of the human and political marvels of our day. . “His triumphant nomination by the Republi- can convention was no accident. Very little was left to chance. Mr. Coolidge had the initial ad- vantage of having to face no rival with a glitte: ing personality that had ‘captured the popular imagination. The contest for the nomination foolishly started by Hiram Johnson was a ‘help rather than a hindrance to the president. But he did not neglect the ways and means of pol- ities, “Determined from the first to be a candidate, he did ngt wait for popular approval and claim to designate him as the best choice for his party. He set about making any. other choice-im- possible. By means of an active organization, skilfully led and amply financed, he went into state after state and primary after primary to win the delegates who finally yoted for him in such imposing numthers at Cleveland. The now hackneyed phrase, “a practical idealist,” hag. been applied to Mr. Coolidge, His opponents within the Republican party may have their pt doubts about the ideals but they will not hes: tate to confess, even with a smile out of the wrong side of their moutha, that: Mr. Coolidge is very good at the practice of politics, His swe g victory in the convention was the re- We of months of careful planning and untiring abor. “Would that the master of party delegates had been equally successful as a leader of. congress! Here is where the doubt about the political ca- pacity of Mr, Coolidge creeps in. It may be that he gave too much thought to party control and too little to those contacts and: influences which might have made him more persuasive with con- gress. Without making light of the difficulties Which he had to face in both house and senate, it may be fairly argued that if he had exerted to the full at the capitol the power he had as lead- er of his party—that power. which wasgnakedly displayed and used in the Republican conyen- tion—he might have avoided such repeated thwarting and rebuffs as he experienced at the hands of congress, Thin was the spectacle, too many times repeated, which led many to fear that the president with all his fine qualities and high purposes somehow did not’ have the vitality, the driving ied pushing for his his’ position. “Stating the case for and against Mr, Coolidge He “Tf I were king of all a yast domain, I'd place a crown of jewels on your brow; And on my throne I’d ‘let you help me reign, And anything you wished, I would allow.’ And happily I’d wear each precious And with a kindly heart, though stately mien, Vd grace your throne, content to help you rule.” . He “If I but owned the universe complete— The cexth, the moon, the stars, the heavens wide— I'd come to you and place it at your feet, If you would then consent to be my bride.” She “If you were king I'd gladly be your “jewel; ATELKS’ HOME JULY 7th'te 12th INCLUSIVE One Entire Week of Fun There will be games of all kinds includin: Bucking the Tiger—Dancing and other incr sports. 5,000 bucks of fun money will be given you at the door—the fun money is good any place in the house. , She “If you were owner of the universe, And all the joys and treasures there are in it, I do not think that I would be perverse, And if you came I'd take you in a minute,” He “But T am not these things I wish I were, » And all I have is just a wondrous thought Of you beside me acting as a spur, To‘keep me ever striving as I ought.” She “No, you are not these things. How well I know it. You do not even own a city lot. You're just ‘nn idie, worthless, dreaming poet; And love you? I should think that I do not! If you were king! If you were rich!
