U. S. SENATE TO RULE U. S. A.

The late Chicago convention set
the stage for the United States sen
ate to become the actual ruler of the
United States.

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

out?
So long as President Wilson is in
the white house the country la aafe

long as the federal Iwnking la* la

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

the statute books which will con

people unless repealed at the com
mand of Wall street and the politic
