Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matte The steam roller worked smoothly in the Chicago convention and the result is very pleasing to the old guard. j It could have been worse. They might have named Penrose, Lodge or Watson on the one hand or Johnson on the other. In the recent primary Harding did not get a vote in south St. Marys, strongest republican precinpt in this county, just a little evidence that he is the people's choice and that the primary law is a great thing. Harding & Coolidge is the name of the new firm, placed in nomination by the republicans. They are popular among the big business men of the east evidently, represent the old guard but scarcely fit the radical platform adopted in Chicago. The nominee of the rephblican party was given eighty-five votes in the May 4th primary in this cohnty, indicating that his selection does not exactly have the approval of the faithful of Adams. The primary is not even a barometer. The Chicago convention opened with the adoption of a resolution, in memory of Colonel Roosevelt, praising him most effusively and ended by ■ nominating for president, the man who kept him out of Ohio during the campaign of 1916. Can you beat it’ for pure, unadulterated nerve? This was Flqg day in America but most of us forgot it until we saw the red, white and blue flying and asked some one what it was for. After all this patriotic talk and our love for our country is not as deep as the Fourth of July orators make us think We are a selfish lot of dollar chasers.

Ing but slight Interest in the political events now transpiring. They casually look at th* bulletins, smile and make some remark as though it made no difference to them and walk 1 on. The old time Interest Is not ap I parent for some reason or other. ■ HI Amos I'lnchot and forty-seven! other prominent republicans have issued a call for a third party couven- , tion to be held in Chicago, July 10th. j They propose to name LaFollette as a candidate for president. Lowden for governor of Illinois and write a platform which they claim will sweep ' the west. Evidently the big battle I isn’t over. Tile selection of Harding of Ohio i es the republican nominee for pres 1 ident has advanced the chances of ; Governor Cox as the democratic can- 1 didate. The latter has three times carried Ohio for the governorship and is making a fight for the nomina tion. If named he will give his opponent a lively chase in the Buckeye state. It will certainly take a lot of nerve ; for the republican bosses to order a shut down of industries with the > open boast that it is to contrail the labor situation and we are not at all sure that they can then crack their I t whip and make these men who toil i with their hands dance, nor are we. sure that it’s the best thing for the f country. The result of the Chicago convention is another proof that* the primary system is the joke of all ages. . Had the people been given a square I , deal Woods would have won on the first ballot but with the bosses in the saddle he never had a chance. John ! son seemed to be second choice and Lowden third. Each spent hundreds of thousands of dollars but the wishes of the people were cast aside and Harding was chosen. Just what is the use of the expensive primary ! pray? A lot of fellows now claim they knew all the time that Harding was , the boy, but don’t let them “kid” ; you. The greatest political writers of the world were unable to guess it. and not even a single one predicted , the outcome. In this county where Harding ran a poor fourth, he had but few supporters. J. S. Peterson . his county manager, worked diligent- } ly and with skill, but was unable to . arouse any interest, enthusiasm or J backing for his candidate. He is the original Harding man here and de ; serves whatever credit is coming for the eighty-five votes east for Harding in the primary.

Senator Harding, of Ohio, was nominated for president and Governor Coolidge, of Massachusetts, for vice president, by the Chicago con vention. late Saturday qyenlng. The nomination was the result of a deadlock arranged to defeat Woods, Johnson and Lowden, and which worked nicely. The plan perhaps did not include the selection of Harding but evidently the delegates, tired of the manipulating decided to end the matter and the Lowden delegates, with part of those from Wood and Johnson, soon put it over. The end came on the tenth ballot when Pennyslvan ia broke from Sproul and gave sixty votes to Harding. Senator Harding is a newspaper man from Marion, 0., a fine looking man who has always played with the old guard and is no doubt entirely acceptable to that A-ing of the party. He kept Roosevelt out of Ohio during 1916 and has always opposed the progressives. He favors the league of nations with reservations. In the primary Woods gave him a close race in Ohio and a number of years ago he was beaten for governor by Judson Harmon, democrat, by 100,000 votes. Coolidge, the nominee for vice president made Ills record by defeating the policenan's strike in Boston a few months ago. He has been a supporter of Wilson’s war policies. Just how Harding and Coolidge can run for president on a Johnson platform is some what of a puzzle and it is expected will be explained in statements from the candidates. The nominations are a victory' for the senate committee who months agn started the plan for control of the convention and put it through. It’s jp to the people to approve or disapprove such manipulations. The Indiana delegation to the San Francisco convention will leave Indianapolis Saturday afternoon. The old time leader, ITom Taggart is chairman of the delegation. The wives of many of the delegates will J accompany them and the trip as plan- . ned promises to be a most delgihtful t

one. By the way what of Webster of New York, the man for whom the Indiana delegation was instructed in the primary, for vice president? So far as we have been able to ascertain he didn't get a vote but how could the Indiana delegation get away from it?
