THE STATESMAN AND THE POLI
TICiAN
The difference between Senator
Harding, the Republican nominee, and
Governor Cox, the Democratic nomi
nee, is the difference between a
states man and a mere politician.
One of the most recent evidences of
this is the attitude of the statesman,
as against that of the mere politi
cian, toward the question of ratifica
tion of the suffrage amendment.
“I need not tell you,” Senator Hard
ing said on June 22 to a delegation
from the National Women’s party, “of
my interest in the consummation of
woman suffrage. I voted for it in the
senate, and a vote records a senator’s
purpose quite as faithfully as any
thing can do. Nothing would please
me more than to have ratification
made effective to give American wom
anhood full participation in the elec
tion of next November. This desire,
sincerely spoken, does not conflict
with my determination that I could
not with propriety attempt to force
any state executive to hasten action
in violation of my own sense oi
duty. If any state executive should
ask my opinion about extraordinary
efforts to consummate suffrage, 1
frankly will commend the thing you
desipe, but I cannot impose a demand
though I personally iope to see wom
an suffrage and woman’s full parti
c-ipation established at an early date.’’
On the other hand, said Governor
Cox in a telegram to Chairman Loon
ey, of the Louisana state Democratic
committee, July 7 “I can only express
my opinion. It is that the legislature
owes it as a duty to the Democratic
party to ratify at once.”
me uuty or a state executive or a
state legislature, in the mind of a
statesman, is the duty, as such execu
tive or such legislature sees it, owed
not to any political party but to the
commonwealth under the constitu
tion of which such executive or such
legislature takes oath of office. A
mere politician might think of a
state legislature as having duties to
perform for his particularly political
party, but such mental processes are
not in the equipment of a statesman.
And therein lies this one special dif
ference between the Republican
statesman and the Democratic poli
tician, one of which the people are
called upon to elect *as their presi
dent on the second of November.
Since when is any state legisla
ture obliged to take this or that ac
tion on any public question as a duty
it owes the Democratic party or the
Republican party or any division of
the whole commonwealth its members
are sworn to represent?
The Louisana legislature, which
which Governor Cox thought owed its
allegiance to the Democratic party,
did not seem to agree with the Dem
ocratic candidate for the presidency,
\
and it did not ratify the suffrage
amendment. It should have ratified
it to be sure—but not because “it
owes it as a duty to the Democratic
party.”
President Wilson, whose charac
teristics as a politician are begin
ning to show noteworthy reflection
in the utterances and practices of
Governor Cox, also sought to coerce
state legislatures, dominated by his
party, but with not much success. In
view of these examples of attempted
political coercion in connection with
the settlement of great national
questions, the attitude of Senator
Harding is refreshing to say the least.
His position on the question of rati
fication of the suffrage amendment is
the right one. He has no business
giving orders to state legislatures or
the governors of states, and he is
statesman enough to know it.
THE KEPT US OUT OF WAR
SWINDLERS ON THE JOB AGAIN.
Count Von Bernstoff says that
President Wilson had determined dur
ing the campaign of 1916 that if
! Governor Hughes were elected, he
would make the President-elect Sec
retary of State at once, and, as soon
; as possible, retire from office in be
half of his successful competitor. If
the statement is correct, it only
shows that President Wilson knew
that this was the only way in which
he could retire from the presidency
without repudiating his campaign cry
of: “He keeps us out of war.”
If Mr. Hughes had been elected
president he would have been ac
cused by the administration party of
responsibility for getting this country
into the war President Wilson had
kept us out of. Instead of an opposi
tion party united in support of the
war, we would have an opposition
party making an issue of war just as
the Democratic party of the Union
states in the sixties. In view of the
fact that war had become inevitable
at the time Mr. Wilson, Governor Cox
I and other Democratic leaders were
boasting that they could keep the
United States out of war, it" must
4iave been an interposition of Prov
idence that put Democratic leadership
where it could not charge the party
in power with criminal responsibility
for bringing on the nation the horors
of war, and left to the Republican
party the role of an opposition party
during the war. For in the world war
the party of opposition, as shown by
! the record, gave better support to the
government in all war measures than
did the party in power.
That the party leadership which in
1916 nut over on the country the
greatest confidence game in history,
—the “he kept us out of war” swindle,
| should now come before the people
asking to be again given in charge
of the country, is evidence that men
dacity and audacity sometimes are
twins. Indeed, to make the assur
ance of the “kept us out of war”
artists more astounding, Governor
Cox. who made the welkin ring with
the fake slogan in Ohio four years
ago, tells us again that his mission
on earth is to keep us out of war
some more. This time he is going to
do it by making the United States
through the un-Americanized cove
nant of the League of Nations,, party
to every war in the world, no matter
where the location or what the cause.
There was really more excuse for
President Wilson’s claim that he
could keep the country out of war
four years ago by declining to take
any responsibility for the protection
of American life and property on
land and sea. than there is for the
present claim of Democratic politi
cians that they are going to turn the
trick by putting us into political
partnership with powers that have
been either at war or arming for war
peroetually for generations.
WHAT WOULD THOMAS JEFFER
SON THINK?
Governor Cox said in a Jefferson
Day message that the Democratic
party need look no further than
; Thomas Jefferson for inspiration dur
j ing the campaign. Thomas Jefferson
! is the man who wrote the Declaration
: of Independence, declared in favor of
“friendship for all nations, entangling
alliances with none,” and once said
that he wished the Atlantic was an
I
ocean of fire the better to separate
the United States from any connec
tion with European politics. Under
the circumstances what do you sup
pose Thomas Jefferson, nationalist
and protectionist, would think of the
present day internationalist so-called
Democratic party?
It turns out that the mind of Geo.
W. White, the new national Democra
tic chairman, is also “absolutely at
or.e” with that of President Wilson.
A Wisconsin bank advertises for a
16-inch “osculating fan.” We’d think
it’s silk-shirted tellers could attend
to such matters without any artificial
aid.
| “The Turk must go.” The world
has been hearing it for generations,
yet the Turk is still there and has
shown no disposition to arrange for
'the services of any moving van.
“Sing when you feel bad,” is ad
vice given by a contemporary. But
better sing to yourself, or somebody
standing around is liable to do some
thing that will make you feel worse.
Tennessee legislators now know
just what the two presidential can
didates want done in the matter of
woman suffrage. And for once, at
least, both candidates seem in per
fect accord.
Once more Vicor Berger emerges.
He has again been nominated for
congress by the Milwaukee Solialists.
Next time he present himself for ad

ECONOMY WILL
BE WATCHWORD
OF CAMPAIGN
CHICAGO, Aug. 7 (by Associated
Press).—Presidential campaigns this
year are going to be run on a thrift
basis, in the opinion of several mem
bers of the senate committee which
has been investigating pre-convention
expenses of the various candidates
who sought nomination by one or the
other of the major parties.
Senators Kenyon (Rep.) of Iowa,
Reed (Dem.) of Missouri and Spen
cer (Rep.) of Missouri all declare
that the campaigns this year will be
conducted with more care and con
sideration for.the financial end than
ever before.
| The chairman of the senate inves
I tigating committee, Mr. Kenyon said,
j that the pre-convention disclosures
j made through the committee, and the
fact that it Avas instructed by con
gress also to investigate presidential
campaigns, will make the political
j managers careful of comment, even
from opponents, will be made.
“I don’t mean to say that anyone
is afraid of the committee,” said
Senator Kenyon, “but the politicians
realize that their expenditures are
going to be scrutinized carefully and
consequently they are going to ’cut
out many of the usual items.”
Senator Reed said economy would
be forced on the political directors
because they Avould not have so many
large subscriptions as heretofore.
“Big business doesn’t like to be
publicly mixed in politics and many
of the customary large subscriptions
Avill be cut down,” he added,
i Senator Spencer also expressed be
lief that there Avould be considerable
thrift in the campaigns but declared
it Avould never go so far “as to elim
inate the usual trumphet glare.”
“There is no question, hoAvever, that
the campaigns this year are going to
be handled on a ATery careful finan
| cial basis,” he said.
