The Re . publican are claiming the Coolldge primary victories in Indiana and es pecially in California within the last week Justify the betting on Wall Street 8 to 6 in favor of Cooliditefs election as against any candidate the Democrats mar name. They inter pret hte primary vote as indicating . that the .American people have defi- , ' nitely made up their - minds whom . thev-want for President. ' The Democratic' Managers on the other hand point out tiiat only a com paratively small fractioh of the votes cast for Harding in 1920 was cast for Goolidge in the Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and California primaries and that the interest that was manifested for him was worked up because : of the determination of the Old Guard and progressives also to administer a knockout blow to Hiram Johnson who is- considered neither flesh nor fowl in the Republican party today. The '. Old Guard desired to smash Johnson for iear he might , smaso. the party and the progressives wanted to elim inate him' because they regarded him as a deserter. The Democratic managers in con tending, that the Coolidge candidacy is being made to appear in a more favorable light than it is really en titled, to because of the unpopularity of his only rival, do however, admit that,, the Republicans knowing who their candidate is to be with the whole Federal administration at his back in advance of, the convention, that important fact, other things being , equal, would give their candidate the . start In the race. - 1 , At. Democratic headquarters- it is argued that the electorate as a jury haa hot all the evidence in the1 ease to m reach? any sort of an intelligent and justv-verdict. Not only is the Demo cratic candidate unknown but the American people appear to be still in ignorance of what the, Harding-Cool-idge administration really means to the country. This latter fact has caused Demo- crate some anxiety Without doubt Republican leaden and press have succeeded in making a large element of the country believe that the con gressional investigations v that - have uncovered such a saturnaua -ef or iakr. iTtiTlttni8ode of -touts battler ttIUUU All bug )rDWIv n ..S&Jti&A&aZZ fchnHiritsoiit moral simiflcancet The Republicans were greatly aided in producing this public impression by the unfortunate connection of, the. name of the fore most Democratic candidate with one of the investigaljpns. '; Many people are saying there Ib no moral distinction ' between the two Earties. Senator Glass of Virginia as pointed out in this connection that with, the going out of the Wilson ad ministration,' the Republicans held fifty-one investigations of the Demo cratic party end failed to disclose- or find'a dlshnest;dollar and that too after, the Democrats had conducted one of the greatest of all wars.
