WHO WOULD BELIEVE HIM?
That anyone would give the least
credence to the statement of AI Jen
nings, "reformed” train bandit, that
the nomination of Warren G. Hard- !
ing was secured through bribery of
the Chicago convention in 1920, must
be due to a lack of the knowledge of
facts. No man knew who would be
the nominee of the Chicago conven
tion until a few hours before the se
lection was made. That was one of
the most uncertain convenions ever
held since the foundation of the Re
public. There were such strong con
tenders as General Wood, Governo
Lovvden and Hiram Johnson, using al>
the genius of politics and the loyalty
of friends of great strength, fighting
for the honor. Warren G. Harding
was not a contender in a true sense j
oi the word. He was really a com- ;
promise who was introduced to recon- j
cile the different factions. The com- j
promise was made late in the even- ,
ing before the nomination the next j
day. It was largely brought about
by the decision of Governor Lowden
to withdraw his name in favor ot the
Ohio senator. And when Lowden
made known his wishes the friends
of General Wood were with difficulty
shown that the general could not pos
sibly win and that it would be to the
best interests of the party and the ■
nation that the nomination of Hard-,
ing be brought about to prevent a
deadlock. Even with many of these
delegates insisting upon a compli
ance with the course of Governor
Lowden, many Wood delegates con
tinued to ,support, their leader.
* A cleaner nomination was never
made than that of Warren G. Hard
ing. But for weeks it was doubtful
if it had not been a mistake. Many
of the big men of the party doubted
Harding’s ability to enthuse the coun
try. But the great and lovable Ohio
senator soon took a place in the affec
tions of the people and became one
of the most popular candidates that
ever ran for the presidency.

of the things he charges is impos
sible to countenance. That he would
have remained silent in possession oi
such information throughout the years
of political strife that followed the
convention cannot be believed.
Such testimony as the former train
bandit is giving only adds to the dis
gust of the fair-minded American who
has followed the course ot the oil in
vestigations at Washington.
Senator Underwood’s defeat in the
Georgia primaries appear to have hit
the Alabama senator and his friends
in the vicinity of the solar plexus,
judging by the howl they are sending
up. Underwood accuses the ku klux
klan of working against his nomina
tion, and say that they favored Mc
Adoo on the ground that Underwood
was an enemy.
Quite a number of Republicans in
the United States will be pretty slow
in believing the debt of the last Re
publican committee was lifted with
oil funds. The fact is: The debt
was paid off from sums supplied by
a very large number of members of
the Republican party, who went down
in their jeans to lift the load. A
large number of Alaskans were as
sessed and paid their pro rata.
Now that Senator Dill and others
of the Senate probe committees are so
fired with zeal to purify American
politics, they should go back a few
years and start at the beginning of
the world war when the cost plus sys
tem was adopted. They should also
subpoena “ Gyp the Blood,” “Bad Eye
Kelly,” "Dig Bill Haywood,” Iluh*t M.
Wells and a few more of their type.

PHILADELPHIA, April 5—The
! modern plan is all wrong; the world
| is fast becoming a crazy quily, while
] the Church is idle, and, contrary to
general belief, man is not a reasoning
animal. So says Red A. Studdert Ken
nedy, chaplain to the King of England
and veteran of the World War, who
\ was wounded and gassed, and known
j known to the British “Tommies” as
! “Woodbine Willie.” Rev. Kennedy
| expressed his opinion while attending
| a recent church and mission rally in
j this city.
“All of us have two or three selves,”
he declared, “and the purpose of the
Church is to save men from the con
flict of these selves and make them
one . The world has become a patch,
work quilt, and a bad patchwork quilt
at that.
Not Rational
“Men believe they were born ration
; al animals. They were not, and they
! are not reasoning animals. The gen
i eral idea is that men reason and then
: act while women act on impulse. The
actuality is that men act on impulse
and build up a splendid set of reasons
afterward, while women act on im
i pulse and never bother about reason.
Men act on promises that are mostly
prejudices unexamined, and that’s
what plays the devil. I will tell you
I you have got to be honest when you
talk about things you know nothing
of.”
Dr. Kennedy flayed as “rotten, dirty
disreputable work” the shooting down
j of Indians by British soldiers and of
I Haitians by American soldiers. It’s
all dishonest, he said, that indirectly
strikes at defenseless women and
children.
“England blockaded Germany for 18
months after the war. Revolting busi
Yet we do not war upon wo
ness.
men and children, they say. My God!
that is just the sort of people we do
war on when we do these things.”
Raps Churches
The King’s chaplain struck at the
inactivity of the Church when he con
tinued:
“I am told not to talk about unem
ployment in England. The men and
women stand on the street corners and
in their desperation refuse to believe
in the Church or God. They tell me
‘your talk is all fake and bunk, and
we do not wish to hear you preachers
any more!” Yet I am supposed to be
silent about unemployment. It all cant,
—rotten cant We cannot save souls
in that condition. We‘re rotten at it.
The duty of the church is to create
an army of men who have conquered
the conflict of selves, who will save
the world. That’s the job of the Church
and it is not being done.”
He branded as ‘‘all cant and all lie”
the ‘‘for freedom, justice and peace”
plea that brought millions of men in
to armed ranks. He said he expects
“the same fake and bunk will be
handed out in the next war but that
he, like “lots and lots of others” will
refuse to fight.
