JARDING in a nutshell, in his own . words. Thru his entire term he has been faithful to that lofty conception of duty. ; During five and one-half years in the Senate he has made no real fight for anything good or bad, but has stood consistently with the organization in de fense of the business interests that sup port him and. it, has stood in a quiet '.'me too' fashion- He has-faithfully fol lowed his Old Guard leaders, talking lit tle, voting much, and voting just as the U strings were pulled by the invisible, but none the less obvious hands that run the G. O. P. show.. ' His suffrage record is characteristic. Interviewed by a suffrage delegation in November, 1915, he was inclined to leave the question to his party, feeling that it would be presumptuous for him to dictate. Two months later: "I am not sure how I will vote, but think I will vote against suffrage. I don't see how I can vote for suffrage and against prohibition." On December 10, 1917, he declared bravely: "I shall do the thing- when the final test comes which best answers my conviction of a right eous attitude." On Apil 28, 1918, he had agreed to vote as his State decided and as it had twice voted againstj' suf frage "me too." "But I am not sure but that I shall vote contrary to their vote. I feel that many things have changed since their vote was cast." They had, indeed. Among others, the party leaders had learned something. So on June 4. 19J9. along with the rest of the Republican machinists. Harding voted for the amendment. How grateful the women should feel! . Like other wary politicians, Harding supported the prohibition amendment, despite his statement quoted above; and as a, good Republican he voted to over ride the President's veto of the Vol stead enforcement act: but he opposed prohibition for the District of Colum- bia and the .Philippines, voted against the Sheppard amendment extending the bone-dry provision to the District, and supported the chair in declaring out of order the war-time prohibition rider ti the agricultuial bill. Further, he gave the liquor interests a last chance by spon soring Ilia' si-ction of the amendment viM.iir"mr l -.'. if ic-ation to be compV-?t-d within six years. His war record was absolutely reg ularthat of a Republican, hack, vot ing for the espionage act. of course, and against the exemption of religious ob-je?-tors from the draft. Throughout the treaty fight he stood consistently with the Lodge reservationists. making one speech, moreover, that should serve to draw- the German vote in the coming elec tion. Undisturbed by ideas or princi ples, he voted each time with the gang When it comes to finances, one can al ways predict where he will be . found. In February. 1917. he voted, to raise all needed revenues by bond issues rather than taxation. With the whole Penrose crowd he voted against taxes of GO per cent and up on war profits, against the T.a Follette amendment to place a grad uated high tax on incomes of $1,000,000 or more, and the La Follette motion: to make public the income tax returns. against the 70 per cent tax on war pro fits proposed in place of the 2? to 40 per cent taxes of the second revenue bill, and against the amendment to get added revenue from large inheritances. He voted to limit federal control of the railroads to a period of six or twelve months after the war, and fav ored limiting the President's rate-prescribing power to government business. not general transportation When it came to the return of the roads, he op posed limiting the income of carriers to 5 or 6 per cent, favoring 7 instead. He voted against La Follette's substitute for the Cummins bill, coritinuing federal control for two years, and dodged Stan ley's amendment cutting out the anti strike provision of that measure, fi nally voting for the bill with the anti strike provision. The Cummins-Esch bill came from conference loaded down with guaranties to railroad owners and with provisions offensive to labor. Hard ing was paired in favor. During the long fight against the vi cious Shields waterpower bill, Harding steadily voted against amendments de signed to improve it. After the Fede ral Trade Commission had nearly finish ed its investigation of the packers, the Penrose following proposed to cut its appropriation in two( Harding'- voted "yea". The Pre'sident nominated George Rublee, an able Progressive, toAnember ship on. the commission. Harding op posed him. Louis D. Brandeis was nam ed for the Supreme Court. Harding stood steadily with the Old Guard in their desperate fight against confirming him. Senator Borah in 1918 led a strug gle to abolish secret consideration of treaties. Harding voted "nay" with the same group. He voted against ap propriating $500,000 to create an em ployment bureau in the Department of Labor, against preventing the lengthen ing of the working day of government employees by a half-hour, against the prohibition of labor-driving bonus and stop-watch devices in the navy yards, and (mirabile dictu) in favor of the minimum wage bill for women and chil dren in Washington, - D. C. To lengthen the list would be merely tiresome, repetition of .the same sort of thing. An amiable, faithful, .obedient errand boy for the Old Guard politi cians and the business interests they serve, nominated on a platform that means absolutely nothing, Harding is put forward like a cigar-store Indian to attract trade. Very likely he will do it; for the fools are not all dead yet; there are thousands of voters who are tired of making any effort to think and who want a rest from Wilsonian rhetoric. But such voters had better belter think Offers Specials far 4th q, July Week Our sale beginning June the first and running all this month has far surpassed our expectations . in volume of business.

In truth he is a dummy, an animated automaton, a ma rionette that moves when the strings are pulled.. Who will pull the strings? The Chicago convention showed plainly enough, and the record of the old line politicians and their friends shows whi ther the antomaton will walk. Mexico, and a "strong" foreign policy, and com pulsory service, and the ending of labor nonsense, and law and order, and one hundred per cent Americanism as it is expounded by. the Security League are they not all written in the book of remembrance? And has not the Sen tor from Ohio amply proved his willing ness to be their prophet while Penrose pulls the strings? The decision made instantly after the Convention to conduct only a front porch campaign in Marion, to allow no speech-making tour by the nominees is appropriate and prudent. It will prevent the party's least known candi date in a generation f rom more widely establishing himself as a colorless and platitudinous, uninspired and uninspiring nobody.
