Leadin? Republican Paper
Asks Mondell’s Defeat and
Kendrick’s Re-Election.
The forthcoming primaries in Wyo
ming, August 22, will have a general
interest outside of that State by rea
son of Mr. Mondell, the Republican
candidate for (Senator, having been
the Republican majority leader of the
House of Representatives. As an evi
dence of the widespread interest is the
following extract from an editorial in
the Boston Transcript, one of the lead
ing Republican newspapers of the
country, asking for Mondell’s defeat
and the renomination of Senator Ken
drick:
“The primaries in Wyoming are of
interest only because Frank W. Mon
dell, majority leader of the House of
Representatives in name if not in fact,
aspires to the seat of Senator Ken
drick, the Democratic incumbent, as
pires, indeed, to replace Senator
Lodge as the Republican leader. Mr.
Mondell may defeat Senator Kendrick
—Wyoming is a Republican State—
but he will never head in the party
organization in the Senate.
“It would be a great help to the Re
publican party if Mr. Mondell were
defeated in November. His leadership
of the House in the last four years
has been the most incompetent and
ignominious that the country has seen
in twenty years. He has opposed,
rather than supported, President
Harding on many measures which
have come before Congress since
March 4, 1921, despite the fact that
they were in keeping with the plat
form pledges of his party. In the
melancholy event of his election the
Republican leaders of the Senate
should see to it that Mr. Mondell’s
place in the Senate is as small as they
can make it. If the people of Wyo
ming wish to be creditably represent
ed in the Senate they will let well
enough alone by re-electing Senator
Kendrick. Mr. Mondell is the same
politician that Roosevelt condemned
for all time in his ‘Autobiography.’ ”
LET “PAT DO IT”

democratic Party and Hon
est Business.
When the question of recomniiting
the Profiteers’ Orphan Tariff bill to
the Ways and Means Committee or
sending it to conference, with all of
its deformities, iniquities and vices up
on its head, was under discussion in
the House, Representative Campbell
(Rep. Kan.) undertook to forestall the
inevitable by charging that a conspir
acy existed between the importers and
the great mercantile interests of the
country and the Democratic party to
repudiate the tariff bill, if it shall be
passed before election, by increasing
prices on the part of the retailer.
This is the same Mr. Campbell who
as chairman of the rules committee,
pocketed a resolution passed by his
committee and refused to introduce it
in the House. He has since been re
pudiated at the polls by the Republi
cans of his Congressional district and
his autocratic career as a chairman
and a member of the House will ter
minate next March. Here is the great
Democratic Business Men’s conspiracy
as seen by Mr. Campbell from the
depths of his recent defeat. He said:
“It will be a great disappointment
to our Democratic brethren in the
House and in the Senate and in the
country if this bill is not presented
to the country along about the middle
of October, for the Democratic cam
paign managers have arranged a very
cunning campaign to be inaugurated
the day after the tariff bill becomes
a law. Already the arrangements are
made, the stage is set, the prices are
fixed. Advances are to be made in
the price of every article covered in
this bill by either specific or ad va-
loren duty. The price is to be ad
vanced on the orders of the importers
down through to the retail dealers.
* * * It is the hope of the Democratic
party that the increases may be made
about the middle of October. They
will be made any time the bill passes
before election.”
It requires no imagination to fore
see a rise in prices all along the line
when the Profiteers’ Tariff bill actual
ly becomes a law. Only a distorted
partisan imagination embittered by
recent defeat could see in this a con
spiracy.
The Democratic party pleads guilty
to being a friend of honest business
of all kinds and honest business men
of all grades, big and little. The con
nection existing between them is in
the open broad light of day. They
both desire public prosperity and the
common welfare, and in opposing the
nefarious Profiteers’ Tariff bill they
are both working in the interest of
the public and for the prosperity of
honest business. In the Fordney-Mc-
Cumbef Tariff bill the Republican re
actionary leaders have arrayed the
Republican party against every hon
est, legitimate business enterprise in
the country and have entered upon an
alliance with every privilege-seeking
profiteering business class.

What does H. Cabot Lodge know
about coarse, unwashed wool or any
thing like that? Qabot ought to be
fixing the duties on silk hats, bouton
nieres and de luxe editions.
Uncle Truman Newberry’s record is
an open checkbook.
We used to say that we Republicans
simply had to get the taxes down,
even if it was only a matter of book
keeping, and now as the campaign ap
proaches apace, we are prepared to go
a step farther and announce that we’ve
got to do it, even if it’s a matter of
straight lying.
It is sort of pathetic when youth
calls to youth and then gets the wrong
number.
