Looking Forward
TIE Republican national convention at Cleveland this year
will certainly be worth the price of admission.
The fight for the presidential nomination, will probably oe
the most thrilling and sanguinary contest, since the Chicago
convention of 1920 which resulted in the 11th hour victory of
Senator Warren G. Harding. '
The two outstanding candidates when that convention open
ed were General Leonard Wood and Governor Lowden of Illi
nois. But for the single-handed efforts of one man, one or the
other of these two estimable gentlemen would have been victori
ous. That one man was Senator Borah of Idaho, who by spilling
the beans concerning the purcnasing or soutnern delegates, naa
the satisfaction of seeing Messrs. Wood and Lowden kill each
other off.
AT this writing it appears inevitable, that political history
will repeat itself. Senator Borah promises to be an even
more pestiferous fly in the ointment this year than he was 16
years ago. For he will be an active candidate for the nomination
himiclf, with a sizable bloc of delegates, which he will be able to
control, until he desires to release them.
There is little likelihood the senator from Idaho will be able
to secure the nomination himself. But there is every likelihood,
he will be able to prevent the nomination of any candidate he
doesn't like. And he won't like any candidate put forward by
former President Hoover, or the Hoover faction in the Republi
can party.
IN short, the internecine conflict between the Wood and Low
Hen fnrnea in 1920 Bromines to be duplicated this year, by a
similar conflict between the Borah and Hoover forces, at the
Cleveland convention.. It is a ten to one bet, neither will win;
but it is equally certain, they will succeed in killing each other
off. Borah doesn't like Hoover, and Hoover doesn't like Borah,
but thev will both be factors in the convention, which must be
reckoned with. Their struggle for control, during the first part
of tho convention at least, will supply the fireworks.
And then if political history DOES repeat itself, and the
inevitable deadlock has been reached, the time will arrive for
the ushering in of the dark horse, some acceptable candidate,
behind whom the opposing factions can unite.
WHO will it bet Knox, Landon, Dickinson, Vandenberg, or
some horse even darker, who like Harding, 8t this period
bofore the 1920 convention, had not been seriously considered?
No one knows. Any prediction at the present time, is only
a guess and a poor guess for between now and June so much
may happen to alter the situation. .
Still Looking Forward
ONLY slightly less interesting than the fight for the nomina
tion will be the struggle in the committee named to write
the party platform.
Two of the chief indictments against the Democratic party
will undoubtedly be extravagance, the waste of money, the
mounting national debt, etc, etc., and
Radicalism, socialism, crack-potism, recklessly casting the
ship of state adrift from the solid moorings of true Americansim.
The first will call for a ringing declaration in favor of fed
eral economy, balancing the budget, sound money, etc., etc.
The second will call for an equally ringing declaration in
favor of upholding that sacred citadel of our liberties, the Con
stitution of the United States. .
So far so good. But,
A SSUMING when the convention convenes, unemployment
will still be a major problem (eight or ten million people
still out of work, and in need of food and shelter), will the
Republican convention go on record as opposed to a continua
tion of federal relief, or a transfer of all relief from the govern
ment to the local communities, and,
Will the convention take a definite stand opposing any modi
fication of the Constitution through amendment, seeking a
further centralization of power, in the hands of the chief execu
and tho congress in Washington t
There will be strong pressure brought to bear, for both these
policies, and to be consistent in its blanket opposition to the
Roosevelt program, such committments, specific in character,
should be made, but here is our prediction:
Few if any of them will be incorporated in the Republican
platform.
W
HTt
Because the excessive expenditures of the Roosevelt ad
ministration have been for one paramount purpose, RELIEF,
and until conditions in this country become far better than they
are today, no administration in this country, Democrat or Re
publican, would DARE to discontinue that relief.
Nor is it probable any administration" would go on record as
opposing a modification of the fundamental law, securing an
Hmendmont to the Constitution, for any purpose, farm relief or
what not, whieh in the opinion of the people of this country
as a whole, hsd become necessary for this country's growth,
stability and higher welfare.
IN fact the Democratic party can, and probably will, pledge
itself to sound money (certainly American money today IS
sound). It will undoubtedly advocate a balanced budget, and
at soon as the necessity of wholesale relief passes and business
tnkes up the slack, the budget will be balanced. It can also
pledge itself to monetary stabilization, just as soon as world
conditions render stabilization, a stimulant rather than a deter
rent to American recovery. Hut none of these things can be or
in the opinion of the present administration should be, done
NOW,
yO sum ups
That fight in the Republican Tlatform committee promises
to be a tough one, because, m the discussions pro and eon, con
tinue, it will be increasingly apparent, that lambasting the
Roos"velt program, from A to Ir.iard is ONE things presenting
a concrete, definite and specific program of procedure to take
its place is quite ANOTHER !"
So we predict the final platform will be essentially a nega
tive rather than a positive declaration, and instead of the New
Peal being knocked for a loop, as the conservative element in
the party would like, (and tn!k of doing now) it will by impli
cation at least come off, surprisingly well.

Unlike nevspaper doctors And cer-.
Uln health r.epartment savants, level

as to whether the paralysis which no?

ment la due to
the vaccine In

Pasteur virus
purports to pre
vent. The health
department s s v
snt. on the one
hand, appears to
know Intuitively
or by divination
that auch para
lytic accidents sre not due to the
Pasteur virus; while I, on the other
hand, can't savvy any other rational
explanation for It. Put, remember,
folks. I am a newspaper doctor, a-nd
that's pretty low as status Is rated
In the nvdlcal world. I mean s doc
tor who holds forth In the news

practically a quack whereas If he
Jumps In only when a good occasion
presents he Is a leading or well known
representative of the profession.
The matenoJ. Injected In the Pas

rabies Is s variable suspension of dried
spinal cord of a rabbit which has
died of some hypothetical disease pre
sumed to be rabies which was Inocu
lated Into the original rabbit from s
dog which was presumed to have died
of rabies. It Is all quite complicated
and perhaps a bit too deep for a
mere newspaper doctor to grasp any
way, but I have- said enough to give
you s, rough Idea of the nature f
Pasteur treatment, and to make s
few more bitter enemies for myself.
Ordinarily I should call It a day. but
there Is still something what was I
?olng to say' oh yes, earnest, level

treatment to persons excited about
dog-bites, and on the same basis up

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
KINO GEORGE Is dead. King Ed
ward rules.
Note, please, that when King
George died Edward. Prince of Wales,
eldest son of George, waa IMME
DIATELY proclaimed king.
Under the theory of royalty (which
waa dlacsrded by the founders ot
our nation) that fact la very Im
portant Indeed.
-
WHY la It Important?
In order to answer that ques
tion, It U necessary to go clear
back to the beginnings of the In
stitution of hereditary royalty, which
Is one of the oldest Institutions in
the world.
We of America are contemptuous
of royalty, with all lta silly trap
pings, .but an Institution that has
endured aa long as that of royalty
must have hsd some good reason
for existing
It did.
- The Institution of hereditary king
ship, under which the eldest son or
nearest blood relative of the dead
king becomes IMMEDIATELY the
new ruler provided the world wltn
some measure' of - STABILITY Or
GOVERNMENT.
4
BACK In the dim beginning ol
time the chief was the ruler.
The chief won his offioe by the
strength of his arm and the cun
ning of hla brain.
While he LIVED, there was gov
ernment and established authority,
and things went on from dsy to
day much aa they had gone before;
but when the chief DIED, and while
a new chief was establishing his
title by means of his strong arm
snd his cunning brain, there was
ANARCHY, .
Humsn beings learned early that
under ANY kind of government they
are more secure In their lives, per
sons and property than under NO
GOVERNMENT,
QO, seeking security for themselves,
humsn beings evolved the sys
tem of hereditary rulershlp, under
which by common understanding
and consent the eldest aon of the
dead chief became Immediately ana
automatically the NEW CHIEF, thus
avoiding the period of anarchy and
bloodshed and universal insecurity
while a new chief was establishing
his title to power.
It was thus that the Institution
of royalty had lta beginning.
IfOU will note, of course, that
under the Institution of royalty
a SON becomes of Immense Im
portance, because if the dead chlel
had no son the line would be
broken and there would be CON
TENDERS for the office and title ol
chief.
That Is why, down through the
ages, the birth of a aon to the king
haa been cause for popular rejoic
ing and why the LACK of a royal
son haa been regarded as a public
calamity.
So, It follows, one of the first
duties of a king Is to beget htmsell
a son.
NOW, please, note this dispatch
from London: "The British Em
pire Is without a queen and with
out a Prince of Wales."
- The queen of England Is the wife
of the king of England, and the
Prince of Walea la their eldest son.
The new King Edwsrd Is a BACH
ELOR. SO. you see. the new King Edward
haa his Job cut out for him.
While he was only a prince. It was
permissible for him to be a gay and
carefree bachelor, wandering over
the world aa the goodwill salesman

"catchea" and aa such the qusrry

and heard nothing about It. Not oniy
that, but Mr. Coolldge also neglected
to offer any vehement criticism of the
New Deal.
Those who are closest to him say
the Washington stories are correct.
It waa not a specific Incident which
caused him to resign, but an accumu
lation of spending policies with which
he could not go along.
Incidentally, the resignation was
presented long before It was announc
ed. He let Mr. Roosevelt hold It up
and fix the time.

but probably not as much as In the
rest of the country.
Townsendltes. are on the up. Tne
movement la comparatively- new In
these regions and still has the ad
vantage of fresh appeal. Such an edu
cational leader as the assistant su
perintendent of schools In Boston
(Dr. Frederick Gluts) came out for
the plan 'a few days ago, although
he doubted Its "feasibility" his word
at the present time.
The fact seems to be that the
Townsendltes will be a surging poli
tical Influence in the developing
presidential campaign, but not a
dominant one.
The most thoroughly retired of all
retiring Bostonlsns Is probably the
most Influential one Professor
Frankfurter. Hla advisory relationship
with the president Is confidential,
and he lives his life accordingly.
He handlea his classes dally at the
Harvard university law school, slips
off to Washington occasionally, get
ting In and out of the White House
without publicity. There are also tele
phones available to be used. With It
all. he lives In the cloistered seclus
ion of the confidences of his clique
of friends here. In New York and
Wsshington. all the young lawyers he
has helped along.
He does not talk freely with news
men, even to two of his good friends
on Boston papers. Concerning political-economic
subjects, he lets hlc
books speak for him, and they speak
loudly enough. He Is highly respected
locally, even by his political adver
saries. No national political character has
been so elusive since Colonel House
functioned In a somewhat similar, but
more official way, for Woodrow Wil
