Oh, Maybe Not

The Chicago convention was only incidentally concerned with the nomination of a candidate for presldent. Its main business was to keep the control of the Republican organization in the hands of a little group of reactionaries who dominate it. Harding owes his nomination to the fact that his personality and his record fit into this program. Senator Harding may be elected president of the United States, but he will never be president of the United States except in name. In the event of a Republican victory next November the executive power will be in the hands of the Penroses, the Lodges, the Brandegees and the other old guard senators who bossed the Chicago convention and made it the servile creature of their political desires. —New York Post.
