The Old Guard Dying The Old Guard dies, but never surrenders, and the Old Guard ia dying off pretty rapidly, in fact just as rapidly as the primaries are being held. Indiana, Pennsylvania, Iowa, North Dakota, Kansas, all record the passing of the stand-j patter, all mark the dissatisfaction of the people with the conduct of the government, and j et the Old Guard pays not the slighest heed, and speeds headlong to political annihila tion. Everyone except the reactionary bourbons in control of congress sees the handwriting on the wall, senses the popu lar dissatisfaction with the proposed tariff, which appar ently has no defenders outside of congress besides its bene ficiaries, yet there is not the slightest break in the ranks of those atempting to force it over. History repeats itself. The McKinley high tariff de feated the republicans in 1892; the Payne-Aldrich high tariff defeated them in 1912, and the unpopularity of 'this highest and worst and most inexcusable of all the tariffs, the Fordney-McCumber tariff, will defeat the republican party in 1924, yet the Old Guard will go down to defeat sooner than surrender to reason, for campaign promises must be made good at the public expense even though it means political suicide. It, seems that framing of the tariff schedules has been turned . over to about a dozen men, some of them captains of Industry and some of them United States senators or re presentatives. Senator Gooding of Idaho has charge of the wool schedules with the assistance of John P. Wood of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers; Senator Frelighuysen of New Jersey, with. Senator Dupont of Dela ware in the background, of the duties on dyestuf fs ; Senator Smoot of Utah of the duty on sugar; Representative Lit- tauer of New York of the tariff on gloves; former Senator Lippitt of Rhode Island of Campbell -of New York, chairman of the National Associa tion of Hat Manufacturers, of the duties on hats; Horace B. Cheney, chairman of the Silk Association of America, has written the duties on silk and silk goods, and a group of United States Steel Corporation officials, the duties on metals. So it goes. The public pays Interests may profiteer, but the goods even at the cost of political existence. 01C0TT LEADS RECOUNT (Continued from page one) court, the lawyers and the news paper men who for 10 days have been listening constantly to the attempts of the contestant to substantiate the charges made, vit: Charges Blow Up 1 That there were hundreds ot errors In the ballot count fav orable to Governor Olcott and detrimental to Hull. t That hundreds of voters cast their ballots for Olcott by reason ot undue and unlawful In fluence exercised by priests and officials of the Catholic church and others opposed to Hall. For more than eight days the actual recount has now been In progress. Approximately 20.000 ballots in 200 representative pre cincts of the two largest voting counties In the state bave check ed without changing the result of the official canvas mora than half a dozen votes In favor of either candidate at any time. Even the attorneys for the con testant are freely admitting that they bave failed completely In their attempt to reveal errors In the work of the election officials, or a conspiracy to favor either candidate in the count.

V. - the freight, so that special Old Guard is delivering the tions backing Hall, has turned out to be no more than heresay gossip, to the authenticity of which Mr. Coster took affidavit in swearing to the petition which instituted the recount. There now remains one loop hole through which the contest ant and his supporters may craw from under the odium of having instituted a fraud action with out cause, other than malice en gendered by defeat at the polls. They may prove by direct testi mony that certain individuals some 30 of Uiem If their action in court is to be successful act ed In bad faith when they cast their ballots. It will not aufflce for them to prove that democrats changed their registrations to republicans at the polls. The court has de clared that such a vote is legal, even though the technical pro cedure ot such change in regis tration be In error. Mast Prove Fraud It will avaU them naught to establish that a voter cast his ballot without being registered at all. The court declares that an otherwise Qualified voter cannot be disfranchised by the tact that he is not registered. They must prove that contest ed ballots were cast by persona not qualified by law to vote, that the voter acted in bad faith and with fraudulent intent, or that the voter's mind was so Influenc ed as to deprive him of the power the ages are expressed in Y Premier Svndlcat . Inc. r v PANTOMIME What Happened Wlien By Idah McOlona Gibson Susanna Wire "Well, perhaps I am jealous Kay," confessed Phil "but I'll jus tell you one thing rgiht now; if Sheila Elliaton goes back to the hospital here s where yonr brother Phil finds something chronic the matter with, himself; something that no nurse can adequate!)- care for except Sheila. "I shall give her a permanent position in my sick room no roas ter how much it costs, then that meddling doctor can take it out in worrying about her duty to human ity if he wants to." Phil had been pouring out hif protests at such a great rate that I had not looked at the message in my hand. I knew, of course, that it told him that Susanne Jones way returning. I glanced at it now. It was dated from the ship and read: -L France will dock tomorrow noon Baddy I am on it and most anxious to see you. Started home earlier than I Intended to bnt It was lonely over there with all my friendt back home. Expect to see you fran tically waving as the boat slips in "STJSANNE.'' "Wellt" the word left my lipi with rising inflection. Phil had the grace to blush, but he stood staunchly by his guns. "Don't be a goose, Kay. I'm just what she calls me "her buddy. Men and women became very 'torn- rady' during the war, yon know. There s nothing in it I told you a when I told vou about Susanne." "Phil " I asked as solemnly as 1 could, because my lips were smil ing, "is it possible that you are arehaie enough to believe that there is such a thing as platonic love J" "Of course not, Kay," he grinn ed, "but there can be sometimes a wonderful kind of friendship be tween a man and a woman pro vided they are both too much en grossed la some great cause to br interested in each other." "Why keop harking back to the war, Phil it's over years ago." "Simply because we who were in it can never think quite the same of life as we did before, Kay." ''Yes, I know," I answered softly "it changed all things for mi when it took Blake away from me. But you know that you are jus) beating about the bush. Vou are trying to find a way to put 8usanne Jones off for a day or two until yor have settled matters with Sheila. I do not blame you for trying to settle that before there is any in terruption. However, I think Su sanne's coming' is rather a good of exercising his own free will In the choice of a candidate. Only one course Is open to them In proving this the possibility of getting the individual to take the stand and swear that be cast his vote with fraudulent Intent, or under influences which subordi nated bis own free will. Up to Voter Alone Under any circumstances there remains one bit of evidence nec essary to the contestant which no one has yet suggested a means of securing the name of the can didate for which the Individual voter cast his Ballot. The voters alone can answer' that question, and when asked to do so nine cut of ten of them will probably In form the lawyers that it is none of their business for whom they voted. The hopelessness of their re maining task will become clearly apparent within two or three days after the taking of testimony has begun. The first witness will probably be summoned when the court reconvenes In Salem Thurs day morning. From then on it ts but a mat ter of days until the recount col lapses. Court Hay Dismiss There are those who contend. ot course, that the proceedings will continue until the J10.000 or $60,000 raised among klansmen and other has been completely absorbed by the lawyers and oth er benefiting from the recount. But they fail to taka Into consid eration the fact that there are lawyers ot costly established le gal reputations connected with the Hall forces who cannot af ford to jeopardise their standings by remaining connected with a case which has "fiasco" .written In Indelible Ink across the face of It.

"Stop, Kay! Please don't tell me :hat again. Don't you snppoae a man knows when he is in lore with a woman 1" - "Xot always my dear brother. Else there would be no breach of promise cases in court." "Don't be sarcastic. I know I love Sheila." "Well, I expect that will not keep you from meeting your Buddy," 1 interrupted. "Of course not," answered Phi: in surprise. "I could do nothing eUe VVhy do you know that Susanne an! 1 were 'Buddies' as you call it " "So, my dear Phil; it was not I that called you 'Buddies.' It wa .Susanne." "Well, we were intimate friendt all through the war and she did ni many a' favor. She's a nice girl and I think possibly I might have mar ried her some day if I hadn't met Sheila." "I'm going to find her now. Wisli xe lack, Kay, for I am going n. try to make her promise that a least she'll take a little interest in me. 'tp to date, she has been most delightfully casual and impersonal, you know. ! "In other words, Phil, you are going to do the thing I told yoc you wanted to do. You are going to try to get things settled with Sheila before you meet the boat and Susanne in the morning." "Kay, you are incorrigible. I'm ot going to stay with you another minute." Phil stepped forward through the long French windows onto the ter race and was gone in search of Sheila. The night was glorious; , how I envied them! I remember when Blake first told me he loved, me. Again the old sorrow seemed to en gulf me. I could not understand why I should be left alone when we loved each other so much. Sure ly there were other war wives who would 'not have cared as much as r. J, hoped that Phil would find his happiness in Sheila and I said a little prayer that all would be well nith them. There seemed so little happiness at that moment in all this world with Blake gone from nc that I wanted my dear brother !o have his share.
