SAN FRANCISCO RESULT INSURES
HARD BATTLE AGAINST REPUBLICANS
IF THE Republicans had been choosing a Democratic can
didate, they would hare picked them in abont this order:
Wilson, HcAdoo, Palmer, Coj. In other words, the easiest
to beat as first pick, the hardest to beat as last pick.
coz is going to be harder to beat in fflOYember than any
of the three others.
At the same time, if Cos wins the election, it will be
better for the country than if either of the three other
Democrats were to be elected.
The country is heartily side of WBsenism. The country
would take a wholesome pleasure in defeating Wilson or
MCAfloo directly, as a sign of protest and reaction against
Wilsonism. Palmer would hare felt something of this same
antagonism to the Wilson dynasty.
But Cor. has not been numbered among the Wilson crew.
He has not been noted as specially antagonistic, but cer
tainly he has not been in the inner circle.
At the San Francisco convention, it became apparent
that there was a powerful element bitterly opposed to Wil
somsm. This element raffled around Cox from the first
It stood firm, and it drew adherents to itself ballot by
ballot. The utmost efforts of HcAdoo and Palmer ad
herents failed to break the Cox combination, and failed to
consolidate the opposition and defeat Coz that way.
The victory of Cox in the convention indicates that the
Wilson group was really weaker than the anti-Wilson
group. The Wilson group had to give way, and the middle-of-the-road
men gradually drifted over to the anti-Wilson
crowd, until victory hove in sight and the stampede to the
band wagon took place.
Cox's success is due primarily to the original combina
tion of a few big strong states of the north and east in
his favor, or rather against the administration.
Official and perfunctory loyalty to Wilson and lis pol
icies had to give way at last to party expediency.
The nnderlvinp sentiment amose the delegates all the
tiiTn. must have been less favorable to Wilsonism than the
self defence they win bury the hatchet and get to work to
win.
And it is fair to assume that the Democratic party,
emancipated from the Wilson dictatorship, will regain some
thing of its old fichtine form, those elements that have
long felt themselves out of sympathy with the course of
the administration will take new heart, and the party will
not find itself entirely on the defensive as would have been
the case if the administration had succeeded in forcing its
candidate on the party.
Republicans everywhere will welcome the call to battle.
The old fundamentals will be brought out of storage, pol
ished up, and each party will try to rebuild the old tried
and tested fabric of noHtical nrindnle and policy that had'
been so long hidden away in the dusty attic awaiting the
dav of the nation's return to sanity.
And the country will be more interested in knowing
what Cox stands for. than m re-reading wnat tne aan t ran
cisco convention said if stood ror. The San Francisco plat
form, so far as it represented the extreme views of the
Wilson faction, lost most of its significance when the Wil
son faction went down in defeat before the Democrats who
earnestly seek a return to old fashioned Democracy.

WBAT PARTY will Sam Gompers fly to now? He went
off mad from Chicago and he blew yellow flame after he
heard the Glass platform read at Jan xrauosco. i
Montreal resolutions were not incorporated in the platform
of either party, and indeed there is an implied repudiation
in each, saddening to Sam and infuriating to the radical
element of organised labor which thinks Sam is a hard

are cosy and satisfies, the Democrats vigorous and hope
ful, and they don't either of them see red this year.
Mr. Gompers is fairly representative of the conservative
majority of the American Federation of Labor, but he has
to pay particular attention to the demands of the powerful
radical minority to hold his dominant place in the council
of the federation. Now both big parties have turned hrm
down, and he is glad his own annual convention is over so
he won't have to meet the boys face to face and explain
how itsappened.
The labor planks of the Democratic platform are rather
more specific, less Sam Gompersish, more strongly atten
tive to the public interest, less yielding to labor extremists,
than the Republican planks. The labor politicians, if they
mrttt choose at all between the two biz parties, will perhaps
ureter to tike their chances with the Republicans, if they
radee on platforms purely. Of course the Democrats are
opportunists in practice, and platforms do not mean any
thing to the party when it comes to running the govern
ment; but there is no proof that the Republican platform
is not opportunist in the opposite ense, and that the party
cmnM Tat h more noakiTe in its labor attitude than its
somewhat gelatinous platform plank would indicate. Rad
ical laborism is in a pickle. Both parties have now told it
to retire and be quiet.
But conservative, solid, constructive, patriotic labor
unionism will receive great comfort from the platforms of
bcU parties, the Democratic even more than the Repub
HcK. The majority of organired workmen are patriotic
Americans first, partisans next, and labor politicians last.
They win vote for America, vote with the party of their
choke, anS they win take the same lawful methods of pro
gressive reform within their parties as other Americans
take. They win be inclined to rejoice that the radical ele

formed combinations, and wrested a victory irom me ku

been in the minority.

1-t.ie , frt that n:k Cox the hardest man for the
Republicans to defeat For it had seemed certain that the
real issue of the entire campaign was to be Wilsonism
versus representative popular government; autocracy ver
sus republic. Mow in a measure that issue has been dis
posed of by the Democrats refusing to unite behind the
Wilson program. The Democrats have chosen as their
candidate a man who would not, if elected, follow in Wil
son's footsteps.
There is another reason why Cox will be a hard man
to beat: he is a business man, and win not drive from him
the support of the business community. He is a newspaper
publisher with long experience in the game, and that means
tht he must have a wider sweep of view and scope of
, interests and sympathies than the average lawyer, college
professor, or professional politician. Cox is a politician all
right, but that was not his first love nor Is it his only
ma?i of jiveiinooa.
Cox's popularity in his own state has been proved by
his having been elected three times governor on the Demo
cratic ticket in a state that was Republican from the days
before the civil war until 1912, with a few exceptions due
:o local causes.
The principal candidates of both the great parties are
from the same state, both are active newspaper men, pub
lishers and editors, both have received highest honors from
the people of the state, one as governor, the other as sen
ator. It wfll be a battle royal in Ohio, and it ought to be a
good sporting contest throughout the country next November-

opposition of principle and programs.
The sharper the Hne is drawn, on questions of pontical
principle and practice, and on party record, the better the
Republicans wfll Kke it.
tnn the campaign should mark a return to the old-time
contests based on programs aad not on personalities. It is
a. sign of good health, politically, in the American nation
that this tremendous contest will be shaped up and di
rected to a degree somewhat unusual in recent years, by
considerations of fundamental political and pubBc principle
and policy, rather than by considerations of personal lead
ership or personal prejudice.
The country is to be congratulated upon the final result
at San Francisco, even though the Republicans wdl face a
much harder battle than would have been the case if the
Wilson dynasty had succeeded in controhng the Democratic
party to the end.
Wilson has lost Ms hold, and that means that the Demo
cratic party itself is emancipated. The Democratic party
wfll make a hard fight, even though party unity seems to
have been impaired somewhat by the bitterness incident
to the hard convention battle. The months that wfll inter

compose their differences and come together once more. In

UNCLE WIGG1XY AND THE HUMMINGBIRD.
mmmmm By nOWAUD B. CAIUS.
"T TNCLE WIGGILT, would you mind
J going to the store for me?"
asked Nurse Jane Fuisy Wuzxy
one day, as she saw the bunny rabbit
gentleman starting to take a hop with
his red. white and blue striped twink
led nose.
Oh. there I so again! Getting things
all muddled up, am I not? I meant
Uncle WiggJly had his barber pole

"What may I have the pleasure of
doing for your" he asked Nurse Jane.

"Oh, I'm pleased io meet you," spoke
TJnele Wlggily.
answered the muskrat lady, "I have
a little malaria, asd quinine pills are
good to cure it."
"I'll get you some," promised Uncle
Wlggily. So he hopped to the nine
and ten cent store and soon bought a
box of quinine pills, which were
shaped Just like birds' eggs, only
much smaller, of course.
On bis way back to the hollow
stump bungalow. Uncle Wiggily heard
a queer little song being song by
some one in a tree near the path.
The bunny gentleman looked and saw
some fluttering wings and a curious
little creature perched on a barncn.
"Oh. what a funny bug!" said Mr.
Longears. feeling in his pocket to see
It tne pills were sale.
"I am not a bug if you please."
said the voice, as it stopped singing
"I am a hummingbird, and though I
am very small, and my eggs are very
tiny, stui i am a bird ana i num ana

because I move my wings so fast that

"Oh. I am pleased to meet you,"
spoke Uncle Wlggily, and then the
hummingbird showed him her nest.
which was as small as a tiny doll's
teacup. In the nest were some tiny
eggs.
"Why, they're just the size and
shape of Nurse Jane's quinine pills."
said the bunny, as he looked at the
hummingbird's nest.
Tes, so they are." the bird sang.
"But out of my eggs, small and tiny
as they are, will come my dear little
birds, when I hatch them. What will
come out of Nurse Jane's pills?"
"Nothing but a while, bitter pow
der." said che bunny "It would puck
er Nurse Jane's moulh all ui excepc
that the powdfr is inside the pills
and she s allocs them whole without
chewing '
Well. Uncle Wiggily was just say
ing good-bye to the hummingbird,
and he was putting the quinine pills
back in his pocket, the bunny gentle
man was, -n hen. all of a sudden, along
came the bad old Hazoopa crashing

with that the Bazoona reached up.
and he was going to pull down the
dear, cute little hummingbird's neat.
and, taae out tne tiny eggs wn un
cle Wlggily suddenly held out his
paw.
"Are these what you want?" he
asked.
The Bazoopa looked at what Uncle
Wlggily held out. They were little
round objects; a half dosen of them.
"Ha! Hummingbird's eggs! Just
what T want" snickered the bad chap.
"But I thought hummingbirds only
had three eggs. However, no matter.
Ill eat these, and then III take your
Bourse. Uncle Wiggily!"
With that the bad chap made a
grab for the tiny, white, round things
on the benny's paw. Into his mouth
the Baxoopa popped them.
"On, I love hummingbird's eggs!"
he cried, and then as he chewed on
the things he had taken from Uncle
Wiggily, the Bazoopa made a funny
face and then he wrinkled up his
nose, and he twisted his- ears around,
and he cried: "Oh. JiggUy-wohble!
Oh what bitter eggs. There mush be
something wrong with thecal rve got
to go get a dring of water!"
Away he rushed.
"I thought you wanted my sourse?"
said Uncle Wiggily.
"BuiT-r-r-rl I should say not now!"
howled the Bazoopa. "I don't want
anything. My mouth Is too bitter!" '
-What did you give him. Uncle
Wlggily, instead of letting him take
my eggs?" asked the hummingbird
when the bad chap was gone.
"I gave htm some of Nurse Jane's

"In response to the government's
request to increase the acreage of

acres of spring wheat, which was up
io the record. Certainly we must ap
preciate that, under the conditions
then existing, with the farmers pro-
aueing rooa as tney produced it,
they went far toward saving the
situation. When the war broke out
we owed Europe J5M.0M.0O8. asd I
have no doubt that many business

"The Grand Canyon of the Colorado
river Is the most beautiful sight I
ever saw," said Miss Ruth Boseer
man, secretary of the county farm
bureau. "On my wasr home from
California recently I stopsed off at the
canyon and spent a few days looking
over It. It has all tho wonders the
railroad folders ascribe to It. Its
deep and changiaj? colors are every-

cnem to be. its rawty and raysue
shapes are all the Indian legends
have claimed for them and under all
of thV things one can say about it
lies that solrnin. silent mystery of
the canyon as a whole that seems to
look up in disdain at the tiny human
visitors who come to it and ask in
sarcasm: "Where have you been for
the past zo.oot.not years uat you
have not seen XE before?"
"El Paso has shown marvelous
growth since I saw It last, several
years ago," said C. F. Kellogg, a visi
tor. T am sot surprised, but I am
much impressed. I can remember
when the sidewalks on San Antonio
street were broken boards and mud

tunities In El Paso and the southwest
generally are great, and El Paso
seems to have taken advantage of

to alleviate that shortage. If such
things can be overcome. Bl Paso has
