Uov. Lowden. for instance, thinks ?
that he tin carry Michigan, despite ;
th? claim? of the Wood committee :
that th? State will go four to one for
th?*- man. Low Jen has a?k?d for
"??thing so f?r from the Michi&ahni
Bepublicans He has ?Inaura visiteo
the State twice on speaking tours ami
rvt hi? paiteie? before the electors.
His rec?pt>e*ia on both occasiona hav?
laeen cheering to his follower?, ansi
now Michigan may be classed as a
dvubtful State.
Lavwden will not go into Ohio, and.
?? fact, iato no State which has a '
< aadtaiai? of iU own. He ha? been in- j
<it?d to iuv?de Waat Virginia, but >
ho? ?tacliaed. He will battle with
ujrath Harding and Wood for Indiana, !
for thl? ?tala is now considered "no '
man a iaad." . H? bay already gone
into Colorad?, and tn hi? campaign:
ir.ere has the lieutenant governor on'
Mte ?We. with Go?. Shoup for Gen.
?. ?*~. He ha? aot decided to try hi? |
icrtunes ia Nebraska, which at pre?- ?
eta? seem? to be divided in sentiment
between Wood and Johnson, ?s Gen. [
PasrahiSNjr is not believed to be really!
in th? race, Montana and Wyoming!
i-Jaim to haa? a strong following forj
Lowden, and. having been born tn.
Minnesota, he may be reasonably as-f
petted to cet at least en even break
ia the North Star State. As for low?,
that seem? ??wed up for the Illinois
aovernor.
Lowden has made uo_.ati<mpt? to
gain adherent? In the Pacific Coast
State?, although he is considered fair
ly strong in WesriinKinn, Wood clalm
isj? Oregon as his own.
Odd ?na?ta?? la ? ?-? ?tatew.
Kansa? and Missouri present an odd
situation. Governor Henry J. Allen,
Who disclaims any ambition looking
towards a Presidential nomination,
holds th? Xana?? delegation in the
hollow of his hand. He can throw the
delegation to any candidate he ?aeesj
?at -hoiild he disregard hla own for
tune? In that dlsection. Wood has G
tlaimed Kansa?. but Alien ha? said
nothing. Lowden managers aay they ?
are perfectly ?atistied over the outlook
m the Sunflower State, which strength- !'
eh? the gossip that Allen Is favorably!
?lanpciaed tau/ards his brother governor.
A split delegation loom? op in Mis
souri. Th? Lowden management con
ceded Wood six out of the 38 delegate?.
As for th? South, below the line,
r?verai Stata? are tacitly conceded to
I.owden with Wood certain of Miasiss
ifpl and Texas. Delegations from
North Carolina. Florida. Alabama and
Arkansas are figured in th? Lowden
column even though few ha?? been
as yet elected.
As might be expected the records
of the candidate? are being scrutin
isad over mor? and more closely as
the intensity of the campaign grows.
Thus during the past ?veek certain
newspapers of the opposition party
cantered their attacks on Lowden cn
daaarortng to ?how how he favored
corporations durine hi? term or office
a? governor. An effort was particular
ly made to show how his tax com
mission has favored the Pullman com
pany in reduced taxation. This of
course hit home, as Mrs. Lowden. a
daughter of the late George M. Pull
man, founder of the company, owns
approximately four per cent of the
stock.
Fallare of mil Hart? vV*od.
The governor said nothing In An
swer -to being content to permit
hi? act? to speak for him*. His
friend? pleaded for him and showed
that since he became governor th?
taxe* of the State had been lowered
oae-third?a record probably not
-urpassed in the country. This.
Ihey claim, came about through th? |
governor's budget system and eco
nomical management. Ir. fact. It
is on the showing he has made
that he vas.? put forward as the
most acceptable candirjate.
As for Gen. Wood, those who are J
not in atfii'cment with his political ;
belief ln?i't that his stand on uni- !
versal military training U enough I
to damn him. With the compulsory i
military training as good ?? dead '

.?dissous! Riber. which would Include
tbe Pavot??. Nebraska and possibly
Kansas. He ia also likely to make
trouble for asy candidate In sev
eral of th? mountain States, not to
mention the Pacific Coast State?.
Johnson's candidacy ha? r-.ot been
taken seriously by either the Wood
or the Lowden n.anugement until
lately. They profese no fear of
the eventual outcome. mat they
would Juit aa soon have him out

DiaBrnlt to Get Leader?.
New England'? failure to assert to
iav. in anvthlne like her former
power, that pre-vlsion and moral au
thority in the fields of politics, edu
cation, theology and social reform is
due to many factor?. The extraordi

command gee.ral support, and it aleo
makes' eqaally difficult the formula-,
lion ot platforms of adtioii. Literally,
centuries of possession of property la
varying degrees of accumulation, but
representing huge investment? at
home and abroad and ceaalessly
pouting in dividends, bave mad? the
descendant? of the original settler?
excessively mindful of the interests
?f property a? over against the rights
of persons and fearful of any change
in the political or economic structure.
As for the newer comers (the immi

whether Irish, French-Canadian, Greek

churches emphasising the principle
of authority, and they are docile.
CoB??T.?tlve Edaeatiea.
From the educational ?tandpoint
New Englandv alao seems conserva
tive as compared with State? of the
Middle West ?nd the Far Welt. She
clings to the local unit control of a
function that is fast .becoming State
and Federal. The old classical tradi
tion of education for life and not
for a living Is strongly rooted. Her
highest Institution? of education, save
in two State*.?Vermont and Maine?
ceaae to be democratically controlled
and supported when the high school
st?ge is passed. Her masse? have no
such access to colleges and univer
sities on any such inexpensive basi?
as obtains west of the Alleghaniea:
and the situation grows worse rather
than better. Inasmuch as tuition feea
rise, several of the historic college?
are deliberately limiting the number
of attidents they will accept: and
there is a retreat bark to the aristo
cratic ideal of education as only for
those who are fit to be educated, rath
er than ?'forward movement Including
all ambitious youths, ? Moreover, aa
the higher education i? ?o almost ex
clusively privately endowed and de?
pendent for Its existence on the lar
Kess of the few rather than the taxes
of the many, there is not that liberty
of thought and speech on issue? of the
clay, either among professor? or stu
dents, which is tolerated under le??
dependent condition?.
Kellaloa? Life.
As for the religion? life of the re
gion it surfers from over-duplication
of its training schools for the Protest
ant ministry, from logical result? of
independence and individuality In mat
ter? of faith which, when given full
chance to develop over a long period
of time, lead to ?terility of purpose
and inability to federate for collective
end?, ecclesiastical or otherwise If
you talk with the official? of the
Federal Council of Churches, with
headquarters in New York, an or
ganization which now enrolls 21.0OO.Qb0
adherent? through representative lead
er*, you will find them saying that
nowhere in the country is It so dif
ficult to gat moral or financial ?up

N?w Kngland Proteetants. Few lead
