Thursday, August 26, 1920.
After a late Spring many predicted
we would have a late Fall, expressing
themselves to the effect that the Lord
would lengthen the season in order
that crops would mature. Their be
lief in the Lord is commendable but
we have noticed that the man who
1 gets his seed in when the proper time
arrives praises the Almighty at har-
'vest time more than does the man who
didn't.
i We regret to learn that I. E. Man
chester has disposed of his interest
in the Winsted Citizen, with which
he has been connected for a number
of years. We remember the diffi
culties he encountered when he sucr
ceeded the late N. B. Stevens, but
due to his , ability the Citizen has
proven a profitable business enter
prise as well as a good journal. The
only thing we ever held against Mr.
Manchester was the fact that he was
a democrat, but now that the Citizen
has switched to the republican, party,
we forgive him.
' In a speech delivered at Wheeling,
1 West Virginia, last week, Governor
I Cox made the statement that riftlliohs
f were being poured into the republi-
f can treasury in an attempt to buy
' an underhold on the government!
I Doesn't care much what he says,
does he? To the credulous, we wish
to again state that the national re
publican committee voted some time
ago to accept not more than one
thousand dollars from any one con-

VOTES FOR WOMEN

Kwe shall expect to vote for "our lead

we lully expect that women office

fealty there abides deep in the
hearts of all loyal Americans a sen
timent which in times of national
peril overwhelms all others. It is
the love of our proven institutions
and the determination to keep our
country in the forefront of the
world's civiliaztion.
The path lies straight through the
mists to November, and into the
fateful beyond. Fundamental hon
esty and the spirit of service must
be the equipment of the men who
lend the way. Such men are Hard
ing and Coolidge.

In what might be called its first
definite pronouncement of the cam
paign the "Providence Journal," on
Thursday declared for Harding for
President. One of the oldest and
most highly respected papers in the
country, the "Journal," which is in
dependent politically, added to its
prestige by its vigorous American
ism during the war, its special arti
cles and editorials having no small
part in arousing public sentiment to
the dangers of German propaganda
and the sinister plans regarding this
countr behind her activities.
In taking its stand for Harding it
says that it has tried to the best of
its ability to arrive at a conclusion
concerning Governor Cox and Sena
tor Harding which will present to its
readers its honest judgment as to
the qualifications of the candidates
based upon what it believes to be an
accurate estimate.
It says that only once before since
Washington's day has it been as ne
cessary as now for the safety of the
nation that our choice be made with
the deepest sense of obligation filling
the mind of every man and woman
who goes to the polls. It refers, of
course, to the campaign of Lincoln
for re-election. Harding, it says,
judged from, the standpoint of pa
triotism, statesmanship and deep and
abiding love of the ideals that have
made the republic what it is, is in
finitely superior to Governor Cox.
Harding is a keen student of nation
al problems who cannot be induced
to barter his principles for any per
senol or party advantage. "He is a
man who begets confidence, who
holds the respect and confidence of
all who come in contact with him."
.Turning to Governor Cox it finds"
him a shrewd, able and active poli
tician, playing the -game asleep and
awake, the mouthpiece of Murphy
and Tammany Hall and the bosom
friend of Tom Taggart. That is bad
enough, but it thinks that above and
beyond, that is the fact that the elec
tion of Cox would mean a continua
tion of the Wilson politics and the
unspeakably vicious Wilson meth
ods. "I would give another lease of
life to the regime that has sought to
drive' Americans like sheep, against
their will and by despicable trickery,
into the muddled waters of interna
tional intrigue."
That, it believes, is the issue in
the campaign which overshadows all
others. That the man who has been
selected to wear the Wilson mantle
for the next four years is the type
of man he is, it believes, to be a
fortunate circumstance. "The prob
lem has been in no way befogged as
it might have been by the choice of
a candidate of superior merit to lead
the democratic party in the cam
paign." The American people, it says, will
elect Governor Cox if they want a
continuation of Wilsonism and what
Wilsonism means. If they want a
revival of the spirit and soul of the
Constitution, a rebirth of national
honor and the elimination of the ab
solute monarchy of error under
which the country has suffered in
shame for seven weary years they
will elect Harding.
In conclusion the "Providence
Journal" says:
In spite of party feeling and party
