Pot tlic Nnntliior.
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.
