How wouM you like to have some-j
bedy speaking in your interest who:
would tell an audience that he was a:
casualty of the convention which!
nominated you for president? Also!
who would insist on placing his own
interpretation on your position :
Senator Hiram Johnson, speaking for
Senator Harding, told his hearers i
that the Republicans simply killed,
wounded or gassed him he allows,
the audience to take its choice. Ifj
Senator Harding is elected, we'd likej
to wager that he would have better:
support from the Record than he,
Would from Senator Johnson.

Chester Rowell, editor of the
Fresr.o, Cal., Republican, printed an
editorial endorsing Governor Cox
ifd the Republicans straightway
ught his newspaper. Mr. Rowell is
declared to have been for years a
stalwart friend of Senator Johnson
and has promoted his career. Mar
shall Simpson, former campaign man
atscr for Johnson, and Mr. Rowell
will stump California for the league
of nations. The fight in California
is growing interesting.
A great many people do no
know that the president is charged
directly by the constitution to nego
tiate peace treaties, which are sub
milted to the senate for ratification.
For about 30 years the senate has
ben encroaching on all presidents
Roosevelt excepted, and that man

A president who is not able to
hold his own will be a sorry speci
men in the white house, whether he
is Democrat or Republican, and the
senate will break his political neck.
The president must act for all the
peoplpe and keep the senate in its
place.
A Buncombe registrar has been ar
rested for refusing to register a
young' man 21 years old who can
neither read nor write. Ought such
a young man or woman to be regis
tered? The state ought to do its ut
most to give every boy and girl a
chance, but if they or their parents
are not enough interested to learn
to read or write, then they should not
show any interest in voting. Although
it is tnue that many persons with
more or less education arc not ps
good as some who have none, still
the state cannot afford to make a
distinction, regardless of its former
policy. We are hound to apply the
literacy tPst.

IT COULDNT BE
The Record does not doubt that
some Frenchman, who probably
thought he was inspired, talked to
Senator Harding about the league of
nations and in the event the league
as now constituted is not adopted
the manner of the association to be
formed. He asked the senator to
lead the way. Mr. Harding says he
did.
But this spokesman was not dclc-
gated to represent the French gov
ernment. He had no standing any
where, not the slightest. He is abso
lutely repudiated by the French gov
trnment. Senator Harding, in making his
speech in a small Indiana town, or a
large Indiana town, as the case
might be, knew positively that it was
contrary to all usage for a friendly
nation to attempt to negotiate with
a citizen of another nation.
