The old war-horse, Senator Borah, who always managed to keep up the en- thusiasm of the party workers even if he didn’t say very much of real value, this year refuses to do any kind of work. About the only real fighter the ad- ministration has managed to develop is Secretary Mills, whose bitterness and vitu- perative charges do not seem to be going very well. The signs all point to what looks like a panie in the goodold ‘G. O. P. On the democratie-side the campaign is going along very much better,.mainly be- cause the strategy is better. Of course, the democrats have the ‘better’ of the position, being able to attack where the administra- tion must remain on the defensive.

Maybe so, although we haven’t noticed it. But regardless of looks, it is safe to say that they seldom begin to act alike. Arthur Brisbane tells this story, prob- ably a very old one: All the people on earth agreed to unite at the same moment in a great shout, so that folks on the moon, if any, might hear it. At the appointed time all but one man remained quiet so as to hear the great noise.
