GRAPES—SWEET OR SOUR?
The LaFollette folk are elated in
plucking some luscious grapes from
the democratic arbor and the demo
crats are saying that the darned
things are sour and not worth eating
anyway-—all because one Burton K.
V, heeler, Montana senator, has bolt
ed the democratic ticket and joined
up with the pinkish movement from
Wisconsin.
Wheeler has not altogether burn
ed his bridges behind him, for he
says he will be good enough to help
some of the deserving democrats in
Montana to pull through ,but he re
fuses to vote for “Morgan’s attor
ney.” No sooner had he delivered
himself of his blast at the democratic
nominee—possibly taking a cue
from William J. Bryan’s convention
talk against Brother Charlie’s run
ning- mate—and proclaimed his ad
hesion to the LaFollette bandwagon,
than the LaFollette generals, like
Archimedes, were shouting Eureka,
they had found it. Like all orthodot
candidates for the vice presidency,
Wheeler protested to the high heav
ens that he never would accept and
accepted the next day.
The democrats were strong for
Wheeler when he was dramatizing
himself in the senate during his bit
ter assaults on Daugherty. He was
a perfectly acceptable democrat when
he was trying to drive from the cab
inet a man who was not permitted
to make any defense of the attacks
made upon him by his political de
tractors and by thugs, ex-bandits,
men he had caused to be indicted for
violation of the federal rtatutes, and

others from the undei world. Though
Wheeler had done more than any
other individual, by his attitude of
vindictiveness and unfairness, to ds- j
credit the whole investigation satur
nalia, the democrats defended him—
until he bolted the ticket and went ,
over to LuFollette. At that point
they discovered with the facility of!
Bryan in mental gymnastics that he j
was a liability instead of an asset
to the party. As a bunch of grapes
he turned decidedly sour.
Of course, the LaFollette group
welcomed him as a returned prodi
gal. He was of their kind—juicy
grapes. He had been accused of dis
loyalty during the war in his support
of the “wobbles” and such was his!
record that President Wilson refused
to reappoint him as district attorney.
The LaFollette candidacy has been
indorsed by the socialist party and
by Eugene Debs. Wheeler had been
a defender of the “Wobbles” in Mon
tana. Yet he had gone to the sen
ate and made a name for himself as
a deserving democrat and he was a i
life saver for LaFollette, who had
been casting about over the whole
country for a running mate who had |
bolted “Morgan's attorney.”
Up to the present time it has been
impossible to secure any concerted
action in congress on establishing
lights and beacons to the westward j
of Seward, despite the fact that pop
ulation and travel has rapidly in
creased in this section since the
Starr was placed on the run. Sixteen
blinker lights, now in isolated and j
dangerous positions to navigation are j
out, and have been out for some!
months. At other points it is im
possible for sea captains to make the
harbor without awaiting daylight to
get a landfall, and oftentimes the
safety of vessel and passengers are 1
menaced by delay7. In no spot in
the world probably, does the wind
blow so fiercely and frequently as in j
the North Pacific and the Bering
sea. Even blinker lights, which can
be erected at comparatively small |
cost, would be very acceptable. Con
gress pays little attention to the !
needs of navigators beyond sending j
cutters to pull their vessels thru the j
pass ,or render aid after shipwreck, j
In case Coolidge receives a min
ority of electoral votes and the elec- i
tion is thrown into Congress, Charles |

party, with no hopes of winning, will
try to take enough votes from Cool

electoral college. In case this is done
it will mean disaster to the nation.
In 1824 this situation arose, there
being no choice for president in the
electoral college and the election be
