IH Written for Universal Service. IH CHICAGO, June 12. Senator Hard- IH ing fits the platform. Ho was one of ll the three prominent reactionaries be- lfl fore the convention. Big business would KM have preferred Governor Lowden. bul . tho investigation showed so large an investment of his own money in the H campaign and such a reckless uiQ of HH it that a convention made up of a lot H of representatives of the corporate aJI class even as old as these in thir. - flH convention feared to risk the is.-uo 4" flH beforo the people. Senator Harding's H record is consistently standpat. It will 11 be remembered that ho bclongod to IH tho Taft side of the controversy with IBVI Roosevelt and presided at the conven- IVVI lion which nominated Justice Hughes, IB I while a progressive convention was fm . I held in another hall. H I Wall Street Wth mux. I He will have Wall Street with him Hl I without the loss of a man; he will H' I rally about him all of the privilege c I hunters and the profiteers. His nomi- IHI 1 I nation with the p'atform on which IHf iHhfl ho runs, will make the Republican PiV Hkfl aide of tho issue clear. There will be ' 'no disguising of the siluution which the voters have to meet. Now tho rcproaentatves of predatory wealth can move from the Blackstona IT fl to San Francisco, whore they will un- ff jH dortuke lo manipulato the Domocratio v convention as tney have this.

Westward interest, like the star of empire, takes its course, BH and the question If, can they succeed at San Francisco? M Labor Is Hostile. J Labor will be hostile to Senator Harding and his platform. The Democratic party has a great opportunity if it will improve it. Some " i party must take the people's side if 1 !H the Democratic party does not, the So- 1 M ciallst party nnd the newly organized 1 ' H labor party will havo a large sum- ' Mr. Harding's attitude on the liquor Hfl question, coupled with silence on that IHH subject in the platform, gives the , Democratic party a chance to draw a I Hl large number of prohibition Republl- ! cans to the Democratc standard. The I HH south the Democratc south led in HH the prohibition fight; it now has a HH chance to help put the Democratic Hl party in a positon to appeal to the con- H science of the nation as the guardian r iHI of the home. VH The Democratic party has the chance il of a lifo-time, ana there is every rea- frHI son to believe that it will Improve i LH the opportunty. The people must look LnH to the Democratic party for justice flBI at home and peaco abroad. ilHI oo 'Pfll |
