Not Even Good Politics
POLITICS not only makes strange bed fellowi, but strange

Had "Dear Alben" been defeated in Kentucky, it would
have been sensational, colossal, crushing defeat for President
Roosevelt, from which neither
recovered.
But with "Dear Alben"
from the Republican press, that
standing Roosevelt victory.
My no! any other result
For Alben is not only "the Democratic boss in the senate," but
he had the "W.P.A. and all the vast system of federal patronage
behind him."

Of course it is easy to say "Dear Alben" bought the election

the DETERMINATION of the people as a whole to disregard

The ancients, from Hippocrates to

haps the best protection against the

and against the antl-lynchlng bill.
On this last topic, his remarks are
so highly colored mat the other
southern senators always do their
best to keep him from taking part In
the annual filibuster against the
measure. The trouble Is tbat Cotton
Ed doesn't restrict himself to a tact
ful discussion of states' rights: he
cornea right out snd defends lynch
ing aa a splendid Institution of the
glorious southland.
His senatorial actlvltlea are chief
ly limited to presiding over the ag
riculture committee, which Is one of
the strangest of all the subordinate
bodies of the senate. In this work,
Cotton Ed has been much advised by
Robert Harris, a minor cotton brok
er. Another of Cotton Ed's advisers
used to be the roly-poly little lobby
ist and washlngotn representative of
the Rev. Father Coughlln. What with
one thing and another, Cotton Ed
greatly enjoys a senator's Ufa, and he
would be ssd Indeed If the Soutn
Carolina votes saw fit to separatc-
hlm from his sdvlsers, his commit
tee and hla senate seat.
Cotton Ed Is a clergyman's son.
He was born In Lynchburg, S. C, re
ceived a good education, and soon
distinguished himself aa a political
comer. By 1896. he waa in the state
legislature. Then he became a lead
er In the politics of cotton, and that
sent him to the senete In 1908. There
he hss been ever since. Cotton Ed
to all and sundry. Today he Is tha
senior Democrat In the senate, and
the only one who has never voted
for a tariff In any shape or form.
Of course, hla claim to have helped
push the farm bill Is so much non
sense, but very likely that won't mat
ter.
