SEN. HARDING’S SIDE-STEPPING

Ghosts of Former Editorials Are Resurrected to Haunt Him. We notice that Senator Hardiqg, the g. o. p. candidate for President, is trying to side-etep some of tne editorials that appeared in his paper during recent years and which we now being called up by his opponents to haunt him. He seeks to escape the responsibility by saying that they were written by someone else in Ips newspaper office. / Reminds us of the Rensselaer Republican: When some irate person calls there to whip the man who wrote “that piece,” if Looie is in the editorial chair he lays the whole thing onto Clarkie, and vice versa. If they both happen to be in It is laid onto Howard, and when all three are present a general rush is made for the back door. There’s nothing like having an alibi.
