JUNE 24. 1920 U. S. SENATE TO RULE U. S. A. /* t*. • J The late Chicago convention set the stage for the United States sen ate to become the actual ruler of the United States. That the millionaire club I the sen ate) expects tn dictate to the nation al house of representatives what measures it shall |> sbs ; then a< rutin- ixe the measures, make such amend ments h * th« senate deems best: then have the hou««’ ratify them, and then send them to the white hou* where an obedient rublwr stamp president will affix his signature. Such an event aa a veto is unex peeled, providing the program a»* formulated in the minds of a an all number of old guard senators A Is*, providing the presidential ticket, se lected (>v these old guard senators. Is elected, and providing further, that the old guard senators remain in control of the senate And why should not this program be carried out if the several proviw* above enumerated win out at the If money polls on November 2? will aid in the fulfillment of this program it will lie a winner, for we are told there will be no lack of money for election purposes and th« prodigality in which money wi» spent in the primary campaign to the several candidates warrants on* In believing the actual catnjwign will not lack for funds. Some fellow who thinks he is authority. Axes the republican slush fund for the two campaigns at from seven to eight million dollars. How far are we awav from buying the presidency? Senator Harding, the Chicago can didate, is a member of the U. S. senate at the present time and a rather subservient one at that. He is not a leader in the senate and his senatorial action has been **wayed|by the stronger minded leaders of his party He is not a pioneer fighter He is by any manner of means Just the right kind of a man to make a first class rubber stamp president. Thia is why he was chosen. This is why the Penroses. Ixxlgea. and oth ers of their ilk accepted him so will ing' y. He waa not the choice of Johnson. Borah, and other bull moo*<e progressive republicans. Oh no. But the old guard senators tied the hands of Johnson and Borah by allowing them to dictate the league of nations plank in the platform These old guard senators are some intriguers. ”ot there is an element of the Am irican people just now beginning to awaken from the hypnosis the old guarders involved them in. They are just beginning to realize that they have been buncoed by thia same old guaid which the people thought they had killed in 1912. Like the eat these old guarders have manv and are now in the saddle aa lively aa they were in 1908 arid be fore. The progreeai ves, the independent voter, the labor organisations, and the railroad workers are just now awakening to the fact that they do not like the Chicago ticket, and when they read the platform there enunciated they begin to say real cuss words. Not very much will be heard from the discontents until after the San Francisco convention. Much is ex pected from the action of the demo crats when they assemble in the gol den gate state, and unless the ticket there selected and a platform more to the liking of the independent vo ter. progressives, etc., the enthusi asm with which a new party will lw formed will make both old parties sit u| and take notice. Wha* the people want i< a presi dent and congress which will make the interests of the great niasses of the common propie the central pur pose. They think Wall street has had its way in politics too long, and that the manufacturing interests have had too much coddling. They want a government of the people: for the people, by the people, in the fullest sense and meaning They do not want a government tn which the dollar is made superior to the man They do not want a government bought by Wall street, soap and other manufacturing concerns The political unrest of the Amer ican people can only be put at ease when thev are convinced that the trend of government is toward more economical and purer («»litical con ditions. Thev are willing to go for ward looking for (letter governmen tal conditions, but never backwards. The old guard may die but will never surrender. This is a truism in Am erican politics The people thought they hail killed the republican old guard in 1912 and 1916. but they now know that the animal was very much alive at Chicago. Should the democratic old guard aeixe the reins at San Francisco, then their only recourse is the much talked of new party. These old guarders in both politi- cal parties is made up of our shrew dest and sharpest politicians. They know what they want and know how to get it; at least they did at Chica go. It has dominated the U. S senate, dominated the Chicago con vention. will try to dominate at San Francisco, and then make a strong effort to dominate the people. The U. S. s-nate is our dominat ing branch of congress. l«*t it be content with its present power, but in the name of American liberty let it not seek to dominate the office and prerogatives of the president. am aa pri-oident. there existed a very dose relation between the U. S. treasury and the Wall street bankers. No financial legislation of consequence waa enacted during that whole period without consulting with these Gotham bsmkers. and of ten these (»ankers dictated and de- mended of corigrees laws which the so called financial interests of the country, or more truthfully speak ing. wbat Wall street demanded Hence there waa a very close alli ance between the treasury at Wash ington and the Wall street cash bovee. Wall street inaugurated a system of financial periodic panics which involved our rntire nation to the great loss of small banka and the people in general but which enriched the Gotham banker* The federal banking act destroyed thia l«-gal game of robbery which Wall street formulated through sub servient presidents and congress The federal bank brought about di vorcement of the federal treasury and the Wall street robbers. It made it Impossible tn bring about the periodic panic and will continue to do so until Wall street succeeds in electing a eubwrvient president and congress when the federal bank ing law will I m * rrfiraled The cards the election of auch a are laid for sul>srrvirot president and congress Will the people be ao next fall foolish as to allow the plot to win out? So long as President Wilson is in the white house the country la aafe from plots of this natur«, and ao long as the federal Iwnking la* la operative a financial panic ta impos- slide. Another most beneficent law brot about during the Wilson administra tion is the federal farm loan and land bank act which protects the farmer from the greed of the money shark. Under thia beneficent law the farmer is enabled to obtain a long time loan at a low rate of in terest and which the farmer can re pay by easy annual payments and without distressing his family. It makes him panic proof and assures him of a continued low rate of in terest and from sacrificing hia farm to the greet! of the money shark. Iheer two measures should crown the Wilson administration with the glory of success, even without the enactment of any other progressive and alleviating laws But there are many other iieneficent laws enacted by a democratic congress and ap prove* j by president Wilson now on the statute books which will con tinue to confer blessings upon the people unless repealed at the com mand of Wall street and the politic ians and which never would have (M*en enacted without a Woodrow Wilson.
