Reg- ister complaints before 8 o'c!ock. a a Personality in the Campaign Senator Borah has diagnosed the coming campaign and has given food for thought. Of the seven candi-} dates in the field Senator Borah ignores all but Coolidge, Da and LaFollette. In Senator Borah’s opinion the eam- paign will turn upon the impressions the candidates make during the progress of the struggle and the constructive policies of the individual candidates. He believes that what is to count in the contest, as, he sees it, is the personality of the major] candidates. But the senator does not much en- lighten the public as to probable results in the approaching campaign. Two of the ablest and cleanest men in the na- tion have been selected by the Demo- erats and Republicans. Each of them stands high in the popular estimation. Each of them is a champion of tax re duction and the foe of corruption and ex- trayagance. Each is an American in the est and truest sense of the word. Whom will the people have, Coolidge or Davis? The senator gives us no rational line on this question of absorbing interest. His generalizations do not help much. As matters stand between Mr. Davis and President Coolidge, is it not rather like- ly that the people of the nation will give greater heed this year to policies than to men? It would seem that the present is a time for careful thought and deliber- ation on the part of the voter, especially since, in the view of so keen a political observer as Senator Borah undoubtedly is, “LaFollette is going to have a sur- prisingly large vote.” The class of voters to which the presi dent and Mr. Davis will most appeal is the stable and conservative citizen class. That vote will be divided. If personality is to count as a deter- mining factor in this fight, why not stage the bitter personality of LaFol- lette in the revealing limelight? His political personality should spell his po- litical doom. Let it be exposed and par- aded, far and near; let reason and san- ity and experience be employed to strip him of his mumming clothes and leave him naked before the public gaze! Let the public know the man ‘for what he really is! Personality cuts both ways. Glaring Contradictions The contradictions inherent in Mr, LaFollette’s candidacy ure already fore. ing themselves on public attention. His campaign is apparently to be managed chiefly by union labor leaders, notably those in the railroad unions group. It will represent essentially a bloe effort to take control of the transportation in- dustry for the benefit of the workers in it. This is nothing more than a move by a highly organized “interest” for its own |inate a reactionary he could not eyen rates. How, at one and the same time, can wages be raised to aid the rail unious and freight rates be slashed to the bone to aid the farmers? On this point Mr. LaFollette must talk out of one side of his mouth to one group of his backers and out of the other side to the other. His candidacy makes a third appeal. That isto the war period defeatists and the friends of the soviet dictatorship. ‘But organized labor in the United States is almost a unit in detesting the soviet government and its American agents. The ‘farmers have no interest in Russia as a market outlet, for Russia can buy very little and can buy nothing except on the most dubious credit. The Labor World says in its latest issue: “At’this time, when the world neads sober, sane men who think and. ponder well before they step, it would be well for all avho think they have 4 grievance to look at Russia, then look deeply into the LaFollette program and ponder well before you follow. LaFollette’s commun- ism, revolution and world disintegra- tion.” The Wisconsin Senator cannot be all things to all his admirers. He cannot successfully conceal from them that he is asking support for reasons which are inconsistent and self-destructive. The Commoner's Hypocrisy On July 1, William Jennings Bryan | left his seat in the Demorratic national convention and went to the Mississippi delegation, which he had heard was about to support John W. Davis. “You are throwing Democratic chances to the wind in voting for Dayis,” said Mr. Bryan. On the same day, in an interview 3ryan said: “We can not have two re actionary parties, The Republicans have nominated a‘ candidate and adopted a platform enlisting the warm admiration of Wall Street. If Mr. McAdoo is not nominated, the nominee will be equally progressive.” On July 2, in his speech to the con- vention, Bryan said: “If we should nom- hold Democratie reactionaries from the Republican ticket. they shall not take us upon the mountai and promise us land that they don’t own and can't deliver.” On the same day in a signed article Mr. Bryan attacked John W. Davis, “It is futile,” he said, “to talk about high personal character as a sufficient qual- ification for the presidency. President Coolidge has high personal character, and yet no one has suggested that the convention indorse his candidacy. Neith- er is it sufficient to assert that Mr. Davis is such a patriotic man that he could not possibly be biased-in fayor of big business against the masses. If. an average man were suing J. Pierpont Morgan or J. Pierpont Morgan were suing an average man, no court would permit Mr. Davis to serve on the jury, even though he were not attorney in that particular case or had withdrawn from his legal connection with the firm just before the trial began. Why should a convention subjecé the masses to a risk that no lawyer. would permit his client to take? “During the last three years Mr. Davis has been engaged in the practice of law, making large fees by representing big corporations. His professional du have made him responsible for the in- crease in telephone rates * * * Tt seems as if the Democrats could remember four years and not permit the bright pros- pects of this year to be destroyed by a nomination that would alienate all pro: gressive votes of the west. Surely the convention will not permit Wall street influence to spike its guns and stack ite arms, just at the time when it should do battle for the cause of the common people.” In less than two weeks after he said these things about John W. Davis, Bry- an comes out for Mr. Davis. Bryan sup- ports a nomination which he declared would “alienate all the prograssive votes of the west.” Bryan, who told the Demo- crats that the nomination of Davis would be a Wall street nomination, rushes to Davis and says: “I am at your service at any time.” What must Americans, and particu- larly those Democrats who have stood Bryan's lectures for nearly thirty years, think of Bryan after this double-faced performance? The pious Bryan, who is so utterly od in his private life, must have an extra moral code for use in pol- itics. For how can a man of any polit: ical conscience reconcile his statements about John W. Dayis with his support of John W. Davi If Bryan really believed the stuff he said about John W. Davis in’ the can- vention he could not with dece sup: port Davis. If he did not believe the stuff he told the convention, then Mr. Bryan is a shameless hypocrite. aw Simply a Destructionist aggrandizement. The railroad unions} want to obtain certain economic advan-} tages for themselves at the imme expense of the public. They are. back- | ing Mr. LaFollette because he is a pro-| nounced advocate of the extinction of pri vate railroad investments and of the op eration of the roads by the government on terms agreeable to railroad labor. He | indic Wheeler who has become the candi- date for vice president on the socialist ticket with LaFollette is by nature a prosecutor, He is somewhat the same type as Senator Reed, of Missouri. Of constructive ability or of executive ca- pacity he has never given the slightest tion. Wheeler as an inquisitor has shown no end of aggressiveness, but the desire to is the logical candidate of those rail | workers who believe in higher wages and | less return in work for such wages and| are not alarmed by the idea that govern- | ment management might possibly be di-| rected sooner or later toward serving} the interest of shippers, taxpayers and} the nation as a whole instead of cod-| dling a rail labor bloc. | The LaFollette platform is filled with | complaints that the farmer and the in-| dustrial wage worker have been preju- | diced by increases in living costs. But| living costs have risen mainly because | wages have risen. Rail wages are more| miliar radical slant. Any one who has ce as high as they were in 1918.| prospered is an object of suspicion; in« aFollette’s rail union supporters | eed, one conld go further and say that do not think they are yet high enough.! he was, by the very fact of his prosper- ity, guilty of a serious crime. To have the farmers relief through lower freight made money out of it is, in Wheeler's Hgs a Snap.” than t Mr. But the Wisconsin senator is promising get somebody has been apparent in all that he has done, and he has not been too scrupulous as to the means employed to attack and besmirch individual reputa- tion. In his conduct of the Daugherty investigation he displayed an amazing vindictiveness and unfairness. Hatred is apparently his most compelling motive, and one shudders to think what « man of his characteristics would do if he found himself in a position of great power like the presidency. In his political views, if they may be called that, Mr. Wheeler shows the fa. ; ~- Ghe Casper eyes, the unpardonable sin. Any one who has a little money merits extreme penal- ties..His economic philosophy is that the prosperity and welfare of the masses is to be attained by bringing ruin upon ‘what he vaguely calls Wall Street, which is, after all, simply the agency through which the accumulated wealth of all the people-is put to productive uses. He stoutly assails what he calls the privil- eged-classes and proposes, like LaFol- lette, to create a new privileged class, the railroad workers, by bringing about government ownership and operation of the carriers. By some miracle unexplain: ed the farmers and the great mass of wage-earners are to be benefited by in. creasing the cost of transportation through the paying of higher wages to the railroad workers. An O. K. Slate Mr. LaFollette, the socialist candidate for president has marked out for him- self quite a chore. Out of the list of rep» resentatives and senators filed for seats in the congress he will place his stamp of approval on thirty-three senators and four hundred thirty-five representatives the whole number to be elected. ‘The grand idea is to secure the ‘Dest members for his purposes, to be ob- tained from the nominations of other parties. He seems to be loading up with con- siderable work that will scarcely pay for the effort. It is very certain that the idates of the Republican and Demo- tic parties can figure no added strength to their candidacy by a LaFol- lette endorsement, but would view such an endorsement as a handicap while run- ning on a regular party ticket, but it is the best LaFollette can do since he does sot figure on placing a congressional slate ef his own choosing in the field. Jefferson By ELDEN SMALL Thomas Jefferson is today revered as one of the greatest, most patriotic of our presidents. His birthday anniversary is ywhere celebrated, and he is gener- aimed. But he retired from the residency a decidedly unpopular figure. During his second term, our troubles with Great Britain led to the “Embargo Act,” which completely stopped all busi- ness intercourse with the mother coun- try. It was very expensive for America, and the president was bitterly denounc- ed in all quarters. At his term’s end, reviled by opponents and hounded by creditors, he went out of office in gloom. His debts amounted to $20,000, a great sum then, and he was ruined as a “grand- seigneur” of Virginia. He returned to Monticello, as he had come to Washing- ton, on horseback and alone. To a delegation of his townsmen who welcomed him home he sadly said: “Of you, my neighbors, I ask in the face of the world, whose ox have I taken or whom have I defrauded? When have I oppressed, or from whose hands have L received a bribe?” Newspaper Opinion The best Jaws are those that are never enacted.—Columbia Record.

Editor Tribune—Recent comment in the columns of your paper relative to the improvement* of streets in the outlying sections of the city is ‘of such obvious merit that I am moved to add my ap: proval of the plan suggested by you. I believe the time to be now appropri- ate to curtail expenditure of, public money for paving streets more or less not used as principal traffic arteries: Certainly it is true that projected pay- ing operations using asphalt or concrete should cease in all streets except those constituting the main thoroughfares. I believe the bonded debt of the city im- provement districts has reached 5s proportions that the citizens and prop- erty of Casper should not be burdened further. Because of this over-bonded con- dition, street improvement hereafter, in the outlying districts, should be accom. plished by the use of gravel dressed down with road oil which is now, doubtless, manufactured here in Casper. In those outlying districts which are entitled to improved streets, the use of gravel and road oil is peculiarly well adapted. It is equally serviceable for light traffic, much cheaper, and I be- lieve this character of improvement can be financed without incurring bonded indebtedness. I wish,” therefore, to encourage the Tribune in urging the adoption of the gravel and oil plan of improving the streets in the outlying districts, JOHN W.
