The support given to Harding' by former President Taft and Herbert Hoover and Charles Evans Hughes has been pointed to effectively by Republican newspapers as convincing; proof of what Republican politics will be after the election and there Is no dispo sition to credit' the extremist tendencies of Senator! Johnson and Borah as hav ing -any more control over conservative "Warren O. Harding than the radicalism . of these two gentlemen oa domestic is sues will Influence the Republican pol icy on the tariff or taxation. VAVOB LEAGUE So much misconception of the true purpose of , the present League of Na- tlons exists' and so much perversion of ; what th covenant actually saya, it is . indeed being printed for the first time ; now In many Western newspapers that , as an Issue in the campaign it has not , only gone oyer the heads of many people. ' but the controversy 'has wearied and bored them. But the wrltef Is firmly convinced that the average man when once told the truth about the Xieague of Nations favors It whole heartedly. Tba average person In many states, however, Is not being told what the covenant of the league says, but what the politicians say it meana One editor laughingly told the writer he never argued in his editorial 'column about the provisions of the covenant "We Just tell the peo - pie It means International bankruptcy, that' la all." Fundamentally the West believes as much in peace ss It did in 1911 and once the campaign is over and .the Republican newspapers who have been lukewarm on the subject, because they didn't want to help Governor Cox candidacy, begin to come out strongly in favor of the league again, a notice able change in public opinion will de velop. Many editors resent deeply that the league Issue has been , Interjected Into the campaign and interfered with their domestic political desires and will do more for the League of Nations after November 2 than they are doing now. : sees xrck be'actioy , - " . Thus, while the writer leaves the west with a feeling that Senator Harding has the lead and with a suspicion that the reaction across the Mississippi against the Democrats Is so great that even Senator Penrose himself could carry the West this year, there : is every 1 reason to be optimistic about the future sup port that will be riven bv the West to the entrance o th United States IntM tne League of Nations. So far as the West is concerned. It win vote for Hard ing, but by ne means will repudiate the covenant of the league. Many Repub lican newspapers whose heart is with the League of Nations have already made that statement. That the verdict may not be rolscoBstruod. President Wilson is still as much respeoted as ever west of the Mississippi, but -he has lost his hold on the voters. His failing health has aroused here and there considera ble sympathy, but the knowledge that he Is not a vigorous leader in bis party has caused the voters to examine care fully the new leadership. They do not attribute to Governor Cox the same high Ideals that they did once to Wilson. They see no Bryan going from state to ft'ete preaching : and crusading as be did la 191s. They see a sulky Nebraakan caning cox a "wet" and charging that he was nominated by the bosses in the Democratic party,? They see. too, many orteinal -Wilaonsand McAdoo roen 'roins about their business without political ensoUon. Most of these Democrats will vote for Cox, but they are not throwing themselves . Into the fight" as they did in lilt though In some states like Cali fornia ft Is the effect of organization which is putting up the fight for Cox and doing- welL Unquestionably Wil liam Gibbs McAdoo would have carried more western states than Governor Cox viu. -" ; ' ' . v V- - 'i- -. WEST FOB UcADOO The Democrats out West were tor him, as the- numerous ballots at the Baa Vrancisco convention show. Further more, McAdoo has been and is bone dry and the anti-saloon league Indorsed him. Governor Cox might have made of his campaign in the West a crusade by taking the bono dry side of the argu ment and emphasizing the League of Kationsi to the exclusion of criticism of the Republican candidate's supposed Wr action ry views. To call a man a re actionary is on thing, to prove that be is, may be quite another. Oovernor Cox made some headway on this issue, but It is not vitally controlling thla year as it was in 1916. The phrases "progres sive" and "reactionary" have been lost in a maxe of Irritations, all of which yield only the one cry lets get back to normalcy. No matter whether we do it by a reactionary or anybody else. Taxation is a sore spot. The Demo crats have failed to show how neglect ful the Republican congress was of the EVERY DAY A REAL BARGAIN .

Ker Is ranch being said by the Democrats about the desire of certain Republican Interests to change the. federal reserve system as soon as a Republican administration comes -into power.- Some nndereor rents ot s appre hension are to be found even amonar Western Republicans that the Eastern wing of the party, may attempt again te put control of the nations credit in a few Bastern hands, but the sarnie West ern Republicans are confident of their own power to frustrate such a plan. It would have been a big issue in the West if the Democrats had been awake to Its possibilities. If the Denjocratks campaign in the-East J no better than It Is in the West, the Jig U tap. the campaign Is over, 'f But : the : month ot October is the time when drifts "set In and desperate 'effort are made, some times successfully.-.
