Water Power The question of the rnsnagement xnd control of tha country's vast resources of water power la tremendously important. This question, like eo many others Is not merely political, but ia an oconomte one. In which must be considered tho great part which water power will play in tha Urea of mllllone of future citizens. Fortunately for ua there are some of our representatives and senators who wstrh carefully for any schemes which might be railroaded througn Congress with the purpose of enriching their projectors and letting the public take cere of lf. At one time, for example, In tho Fourth Congrssalonal trict of Florida, tha greatest In population In tha United States, Ruth Bryan Owen, daughter of the late William Jenninga Bryan, is conducting a campaign for election to Congress, unique in the history of that state and noteworthy in many waya Refusing to capitalise the reputation of a distinguished parent, Mrs. Owen rarely refera to her father in conversation with voters or from tho platform. 8ha haa no manager, preferring to map out her own Una of campaign, relying only on a group of advisers In each community aha vlalta. and on her own gifts as a speaker on the needs of Flor- ida. tih Is something new under the aun In politicians She has never mentioned her opponent from the platform, nor doea she seek to emphases her position aa the first woman in Florida to run for a congressional office.

If the favorably jority of the voters believe this, I will be elected. With that she dianilaaea the colorful aspect of her campaign which reporters and Interviewers have sought to stress. But it is Impossible for Ruth Bryan Owen to take away from her campaign a certain plcturesquo quality, for her whole career by virtue of her own individuality and background haa been filled with color and romance.

It has brought forth no outstanding candidate with sufficient public appeal to insure hla election aa chairman at a town masting. It haa developed neither a new thought nor a new candidate worth considering. A candidate, to ba worthwhile, must have something mors than a certificate of good moral character from hla home community, ha must represent something and possess a certain degree of popular appeal. Without those prerequisites he may as well save his railroad fare a. lo Houston and go about hi John W. Davis proved that for all time. Thera seems to b no reason to believe that Governor Smith's candidacy will have anything but an unfortunate effect npon Democracy's chances In Colorado, but no man ia wise enough to say certainly that It will prove so. It may he that prohibition and religious Intolerance have not such a grip on Colorado as Is commonly supposed, or It may be that the public, having viewed the sort of prohibition wa have, in a manner of speaking, enjoyed, will not be stampeded against someone merely because ha doss not how down before it night and morning. Theao things remain to be seen. In tha meantime. If those who are to Governor seriously opposed Smith do not take definite steps in the way of developing a candidate worthy to oppose him at Houston and to represent the party, they may aa well withdraw and abandon their program.
