That the Cleveland convention was ( a dead affair, so far as drama and ex-.l citement and uncertainty were con cerned was sure. But with the nomination time pass-' ed. a distinct under-current has be- ! , come evident, revealing the life and • force of a movement of much greater political importance than those surface elements which accompany ordinary conventions not cut and dried Throughout a vast section of this' nation there is no peace, economical- 1 ' ly speaking, and these sections are not satisfied with the convention cry of •‘all’s well''—keep cool-let that which is continue to be —the status quo. etcetera. The two sitnations clash. When you , are well fed. well clothed and are gen erally comfortable, no advice appeals more strongly than status quo advise. But when you are wet and ragged and hungry and somebody tells you to let well enough alone, you see red. Through a vast section of the I’. S A. economic ills are raging. There’s a serious trouble to farmward. Agriculture, the justly famed backbone of the nation, is suffering from spinal meningitis. Farmers by the hundred* 1 and thousands are broke. In face of such a condition comes New England nomination, meaning industrial domination of the republican party in con vention assembled. That’s the reason why from out over the plain* resentment Is arising. That's the reamm for the undercurrents. the reason why the G. O. P. campaign for 1924 is not so cut and dried after all The East is in the .saddle and the West walks.—lndianapolis Times.

Face to Face With George W. Pepper Senator from Pennsylvania (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) A contrast of personalities came to mind when Senator George Wharton Pepper of Pennsylvania succeeded the late Senator Boise Penrose. As nu mber of the National Republican Comnfittec the contrast is still more marked. Sedate and sedulous Philadelphia breathed a sigh of satisfaction when the scholarly Pepper a native son—donned the Senatorial toga. Horn in the City of Brotherly Love — educated within its borders George Wharton Pepper became th” traditional "Htlladelplila lawyer" that couldn't be "puzzled." Forth r-ty-two years ho practiced law, but he also kept in close touch with public affairn—meantime lecturing on law at Rale and the I'niversity of Pennsylvania. When Senator P- Piter appeared before the Pennsylvania Society of New York soon afte r his election, h” made- a favorable impression. Citrons of Philadelphia made their pilgrimage to hat' him and seemed unite in tune with the administration, laiter, in Portland. Maine, Senator Pepper began so explain the Teapot Dome situation, and later offered a Wot Id Court substitute for the Hard-ing-Coolidge plan with all the unction of the Philadelphia lawyer who knows what he knows. For a time it looker! as if the Pennsylvania idea might uproot the Root plan, but President Coolidge revealed a capacity to speak for himself—and th- Pepper plan wa* ne< in favor at the White House.
