“Republican leaders continue to insist that there
must be no talk of candidates,” writes G. Gould Lin
coln, in the Washington Star (Republican). And he
adds “If they keep that up long enough the people will
come to believe that there are no Republican candi
dates worthy of the name.”
Referring to the definite dictum of Charles D.
Hilles at the recent session of the Republican National
Executive Committee in Washington that as many
States as possible should “at once put forward and
endorse favorable sons,” Lincoln says:
The theory advanced by some of the older leaders
is that after a full and free consideration the delegates
to the Republican Convention may get together and
nominate the best man. The chances are, however,
that there would be a deadlock. And when such a
deadlock comes it is not the general mass of the dele
gates which selects the compromise candidate but a
small group of dominant leaders. That group stands
for the man it believes will stand for the policies in
which the group believes. When a small group has
nominated a candidate it can look to him for favors.
From that angle, the favorite son candidate idea
might easily lead to another 1920 convention, where
the late President Harding emerged as the party’s
choice after a group of the leaders had come to their
own conclusions in a smoke-filled hotel room in the
early hours of the morning.
The question seems to be, if Dr. Townsend raised
$200 a month for everyone over 60 by a tax on trans
actions, would there be any transactions left to tax?
The local Chamber of Commerce says it will soon
be checking up on its members and collecting dues.
They also will be making a drive for new members
and conduct an election of officers. Now is the time
to step out and join—devote some of your time to im
proving Nome and its business and the industries of
Northwestern Alaska, by being a member. “A house
divided against itself, must surely fall."—Cooperate to
