If II were posgilile today 1?? road tlio minds of (larding and tho iien1i mints ho is depending upon to pilot Him to tho White House, wo think it would ho discovered that dismay litis taken hold of them since tho Democrats nominated tlovernor Pox. I larding knows and they know that < 'ox will carry <>hio, and Harding knows iiiiu mey aiso Know mm nox's chances of carrying New York are better than HardliiK's. With the I'.' cl?otornl votes of those two States almost assured for the I?oniocratlc candidate, along with the united support of tlie South and the support tie is certain to get in the progressive States of the Central West and 011 the Pacilic coast, it is writ large that the name of the next president of the United States is ("ox. MrAiloo was the choice of the South for the nomination and it I.disappointing to many that lie ;wn> not put up as tlie party's standardbtnrer. We believe he could liavi been elected, but the fact that he is the son-in-law of President Wilson would have influenced lens of thousands to vote against him and might hi.vo proved a millstone about his neck. The Times never thought it would be good politics to nominate McAdoo and a few days prior to and during the convention we hecame more convinced than ever that we were right in this opinion. McAdoo did not deserve the nomination. His attitude of indifference toward the nomination and Ills friends in and out of the convention proved that lie did not have the proper uppi eolation of the great honor they Mere seeking to confer upon him. No man is too l>ig to he president ot the I'nited States and no man is big enough to treat lightly the serious suggestion that lie be nominated fot the olllce by the Democratic party, tor. be it remembered, the Dcinociulie party always lias a chance oi electing ils candidate. With the strongest parly platform mi which any eandidate lias ever gone before the Antcl'iean people soliciting their votes, (iuvcriior t'o\ should not bud the road to I lie White ttuosc a rough one. on April -J The Times printed tin following as a part of an editorial opposing the nomination of i'ulmer. ' in * Mno there is a man named t'ox, who doesn't exactly happen to In governor, tor he lias been elected three times, each tune by men voting the Democratic ticket. And if Hovel nor t'ox has been anything hut a Dtiuoeiat and lias made it a pail oi )us business at any time to snow uotipailiy for the Southern people, tin newspapers haven t had anything to say about it. If the Democrat* show tile good sense to nominate Dovernor t'ox he will .carry <>hiu t. ,g with enough oilier States to In e.?.cted." t'hurleston is a eily of some SO,t'Oo 01 Xa.UOlt people. Monday the candidates for Stale alliee, in making their county to county canv.. s, lilleil their appointment in tiiut city and were greeted by an audience of about ??0 people. Like interest, or lack of interest, lias been shown in the cumpuign by the people of every other county the candidates have tints far visited. Seriously, isn't it about time to call off the campaign? Aside from the general apathy in State and county polities, most people tin too busy to leave their employment to attend tn -clings of the character of those offered by the men sc? ki'?g State oltico. at which about the only tiling heard is the reeom1 ' nicndntion each candidate gives himrilf. Tliere are two eamlidates for railroad commissioner, two for adjutant general and three for lieutenant govdfnor and those are the only State orliees for-whieh 'there Is a contest. Kailroad commisivner, adjutant general. lieutenant governor! Think of the people being asked to lay aside their business for a day to hear seven men tell why they-should he elected to till relatively unimportant ottioes* The occupant of neither of these three offices will bit able to do much for or against the interest of the people unit this fact being known of all men. the wonder is that the campaign meetings attract even the few who go to hear ttie candidates. One of the things that struck the average ntan as singular about the Democratic national convention was that so much time should have been wasted by the platform" committee ccnsidering whether it was advisable KfV, * to insert a "moist" or "bone dry" plank in the party platform. For America, prohibition has passed from the realm of politics. It is a part of the organic law of the land, it is nn established fact, made so by the will of the people, speaking through Congress and the various State Legislatures, and it is child's play for any ret of men to think that what they :ay or propose to do about it will ; fl'ect the law. The day may come when Congress will undertake to modify the Volstead act to ullow the manufacture of wines and beer in lesponse to the demands of the liquor 'lenient throughout the North and West; but if that day should conie, no sooner will the act be amended ban tbe friends of prohibition will take the law into the courts, confident that it will be declared unconstitutional. It ig well to remember two things in connection with the prohibition amendment: Llqudr, which includes wines and beer inn ! not I>e sold for beverage purposes In ihe t'nited States; and no amendment :o the constitution has yet been, or 's apt to be. repeuled. The saloon is forever a thing of the past in America and there are hundreds of thrusamls of women and helpless lit to children and their friends all over this broad land who thank flod that i t is.
