Davis, if nominated, would prove a poor candidate for the Democratic party in western states. He favored McAdoo and opposed Davis. Apparently he still holds that view, but is anxious to save himself.

For instance one \ of the great Metropolitan newspapers thus ‘ sgdites the matte © Boiled down to its essence, the LaFollette opposition on this score is that the Constitu- m should, be amended so as to make Congress \d aiot the court the final judge of the consti ttionality of legislation.” Tliat statement is not correct. he La¥Fol- te proposal is that the constitution shall be amended that it will confer upon the congress * power to make effective unconstitutional through re-enactment after the supreme rt of the United States h found and de- red that it violates the constitution. With such an amendment in force as La > Follette advocates and demands, the congress would no longer be required to consider the nestion of constitutionality of any measure hich a sufficient majority of the members might desire and determine to place upon the federal statute books. It would be in the power bt the congress to make a dead letter of any Provision of the constitution, by overriding, with the required majority vote, the judgment _ ef the supreme court. The congress would not be “the final judge “of the constitutionality of legislation.” It ‘would be the unrestrained destroyer of any pro- vision of the constitution which might stand in the way of the will of a-wild majority of its miembers. "Such an amendment added to the constitution © Would give license to the congress to nullify the whole constitution. _... This is.the truth of the case, regardless of any dine spun theory advanced by LaFollette or by anyone opposed to his proposal.

As a result of their blundering strat- egy the present campaign has become a battle between the. constructive and ‘destructive po- litical forces of the country; with Democratic leadership in. between the lines receiving the galling fire of both sides. The election showing of 1922 foreshadowed a Democratic victory in 1924. The drift’ at that time unguestionably was against the Re- publican party. Heavy losses were sustained by the party in power. The Republican major- ity in both the hous? and senate was so reduced, that it became nominal, taking into account the fact that radicals held the balane Democratic congressional} the mistake of going into partne radicals. The combination on a record vote in the house on proposed changes in the rules, demonstrated its ability to dominate that branch of congress. In the senate the Demo cratic leaders effected a combination with’ the radicals and chose a chairman of the senate committee on interstate and foreign commerce. Then came the grand pre-campaign bombard- ment of the administration through senate quisitions—the effort to “smear up” the party in power by revelations of corruption. In its ear: lier stages the inquiry into the conduct of for. mer Secretary Fall with reference to the naval reserve Oil leases served a useful public. pur- pose. But the Democratic and radical leaders made the mistake of exaggerating this isolated episode into a general indictment of the integ- rity of the nat dministration and the honesty of the Republican party. The prejud- iced partisan motive behind this proceeding soon became apparent to the whole country, while the Wheeler inqui acterized by methods which shock merican people because of th manifes irness and slight regard for facts. The stage had been set for the nomination of Democratic presidential candidate so radical 1 his views that he would become the benefi- ciary of this spectacl But as fate would have it, this very candidate was revealed as the paid attorney and lobbyist for the nationally known Democratic oil magnate whose transactions with 1 constituted the whole scandal of ‘the oil reserve leases. The effect of this revelation was to bring about the defeat of the presiden- tial candidate the chief of the Senate’s purifiers were supporting for their party's nomination. That support, in itself, was significant com- mentary on the-honesty of their motives. Meanwhile the shrewdest of all our profes- sional politicians wag remaining away from the senate and permitting his Democratic dupes to get in the background for his candidacy. The i of his Democratic colleagues in manu acturing campaign thunder made it unnecessary for him to lift a hand. The Democratic nation- al convention, by another freak of fate, nomi- nated, after a convention embittered by attacks upon McAdoo which the senate. inquisitions had made possible, the one candidate for president le suited to stand upon the record of the te Democrats had mad Thus the strength of the Follette candidacy was made possible. Again by the irony of faté, the discomfiture of the Democratic senators was completed in La Follette’s nomination for yice president of Seaator Wheeler, to whose defense while under attack, they had come with sheh unanimity and With such disregard of the facts. Now, by reason of these events, the Demo- cratic party is “between the devil and the deep blue sea.” The La¥ollette strength is coming, not as was expected, largely from the discon- tented agrarian vote of the Northwest, but from the industrial centers in quarters from which the Democratic party-has in recent contests drawn its greatest strength, and from which came the vote that made the Democratic showing of 1922 impressive, In all the history of American. politics there is no more striking object lesson in the futility of a campaign grounded in supposed political cleverness rather than in what Mr. Dayis calls “common honesty.” The attempt of the Dem- ocratic presidential candidate, under the circum- stances, to find ground to stand upon in the mpaign, is pathetic. Practically every move he has made in the campaign up to this time, despite his unquestioned ability, has only served to contribute to the strength of either or both of his adversaries, t The Whig party was destroyed soon after it had elected two presidents because it had be- come merely opportunistic; because it was neu. tral in a fundamental struggle where neutrality was impossible. The Democratic party faces the same fate. In Minnesota, Wisconsin and orth Dakota the Democratic party, under con- ditions strikingly similar to those now prevail- ing in national politics, has been practically tinguished. Does the Democratic party na- lly face the same fate? There are many students of politics who think that a new align- meut, between the constructive and the reyolu- tionary forces in American. politics, is at hand, And in such a struggle there is no place for the Democratic party, unless it shall’ surrender every time-honored principle and tradition. The lesson of all this is that it does not profit a party leader.to play fast and loose with t issue: When the more conservative Dem cratic leaders in the senate went into partner- ship with the radical insurgents against Repub- licanism, they knew that with the general pro- gram of these leaders the Democratic party had nothing in common. They thought they were cleverly taking advantage of the oppor- tunity to split the party in power. .Therefore they took part in a senate program during the last session personally and politically discred. itable if not disgraceful to ey ‘ Now they are face to face with the retributive consequences. — It is impossible to sympathize with these scuttlers of their own political ship, even if they did think at the same tine that what they were doing was boring holes in the bottom of quite another craft, between: Jabor and’ the carriers on| wages, rvles or working conditions, this'is how the bfll would work. time and continued without limit of time or hindrance. of conference, composed. of repre- sentatives of the carriers and of or- ganized labor would first. consider the dispute. up by one of the four boards of ad- justment | as These boards in turn ure.composed equally of representatives of the carriers and organized labor so that a settlement 1s rost-unlikely.

It is the race in fact which made Epinard’s visit to this coun- try possible. It will be worth as munch to the winner as both ofthe whe eee ations: Seana way? When negoti: is were fast fall for the international con- tests which have been doing’so much to revive real sporting interest in eastern racing, Epinard's owne: sad he would bring him over if he could have a chance at $100,000 in purses. He asked no guaranteer— just the chance to win what he could. Major Belmont, chairman of .the Jockey club, and owner, by the way, of Ladkin, beneficiary of the sec- ond special, said he could arrange for two $25,000 purses, one at Be!- mont. park and the other at Aque- duct. It appears M. Wertheimer had- heard much of Kentucky racing, out where the people eat and watk and talk with the horses and he sug- gested that Matt Winn, general man- ager of the Kentucky Jockey club, be consulted. Colonel Winn came to New York. “What can you’do?" Major mont asked. 2 “Give $50,000 of course,” replied the colonel without a moment's hes- itation. . And so the big race is yet to come, and unless all horsemen are mis- taken or unless some of the westerti- ers break through, Epinard is likely to return to that dear France with the real laurels of the American turf heaped upon him. Inany event, his visit has done much to inspire admiration for French sporting spirit and instinct, both of which had suffered in the visits of that georgeous Georges Carpentier. abst 8 Steet Kpinard to Be Favorite When Third “Special” Is Run on Kentucky Track and greatest of the “‘specia's” to be run at Latonia, out in Kantucky, on Saturday, October 11. In this race, at a mile and a quarter; the Ameri- can derby distance, the French champion’ wi!l meet five or six of the best horses in the west which have never been started against him and he wil! also have a chance for sweet revenge on Ladkin, the Belmont horse that just lasted by a nose at Saturday's finish. This il;lustrates what might be called the super-equino tack which has bene set before Epinard. He did not come over to mee: a selected horse in a series of match races. Like a real sporting gentleman, he agreed to meet as many horses as America chose to put igainst him, and at any distance they might se- lect. When alalyzed, the conditions im- posed on Epinard, while essential, perhaps, have been anything’ but sportsmanlike. The French horse has had to meet horses hardened by such racing as they chose to undertake. Epinard’s, opponents 2u'd race in between the. specials and everyone knows that judicious racing is the one best way to keep a horse in the pink of condition. Epinard has been barred from « cing in between. He has had to conditioned soley in the usual train- ing way. Ladkin had had « fine tuning up race just a week before ne defeated Epinard. Without that race “under his belt” all agreed he would have been downed by the Frenchman, The arrangement has seemed out of all keeping with the American sense of fair play but Pierre Wertheimer, Epinard’s own- er, recognized the economic neces- sity of the conditions and agreed to them. The managers of the racing associations pointed out that if Ep- inard were allowed’to take part in races other than the ‘specials” there would be no unusual crowds out for the big advertised races with the big purses offered. Sound as the logic may be from voring to do what has neyer been asked of ang other horse. That he has failed thus far to beat the best thoroughbreds America could send against him has been due solely to bad racing luck. It has been con- ceded by the form experts of the track that in both the international specials,. the long-striding chestnut colt from over the seas was the best horse in the race, On Saturday at Aqueduct, he was running over the winner Ladkin at the end and when he returned to the judges’ stand was not drawing a long breath. Epivard ins a right to be consid- ered the wonder horse of the year, for he has been glorious in defeat and there ip not the slightest doubt as matters stand today he will be the outsanding favorite in the last Bel- ‘The Coolidge-Dawes campaigners do not care whether the issue be common sense or common honesty -~the Republican candidates are un- surpassed in both respects.
