- The President says he has no Inter-
est in any political party “except as
an Instrument of achievement If
that’s it then how did he happen to
select such a poor Instrument as the
Democratic party?

In three years
Another thing you never hear of

EDITORIAL COMMENT
t
Tbe fact that the Democratic cam-
paign managers have booked Secre-
tary Daniels for a speech in Mabie
seems Jo indicate that they have aban-
doned all hope of carrying the State
and simply don’t care what happens
to the ticket in the September elec-
tion I
' Senator J Ham Lewis a spokes-
man for the administration in at-
tempting to apologize for the Presi-
dent’s mollycoddle expression that wo
aro "too prond to fight" explains that
if ia an old Latin quotation But the
people already know that it Is oat of
date and the expression of a decadent
nation T
r - -- -
"We don't want to maintain a po-
litical almshouse” remarked Mr
Hughes to the North Dakota farmers
and a nation applauds him Ameri-
cana are beginning to see a posslbil'y
in the near future of regaining their
self-respect ' '
The administration seems to have
sold everything-it ouid from the na-
tion's honor ' down to the - smallest
rural postmastership
Secretary Daniels says this Is no
time for politics And it’s no time for
Secretary Daniels either -
' 1 in impression is growing at the
White Houue that Mr- Hughss id dellb-
oratoly aafrisndly Look oat for notes
