Warren O. Harding, the republi
can nominee for the presidency, ful
fils the requirements for a compro
mise candidate. He has never been
a commanding figure in politics, and
therefore is more or less of an un
known Quantity. The trouble with
the three leading candidates waa
that they were too well known.
Leonard Wood would, in all prob
ability, have received the nomina
tion had it not been for the campaign
expenditure disclosures. These same
disclosures also hurt Lowden s
chances. Johnson, because of his
stand on the league of nations and
radical views on other subjects of
political Importance, was distasteful
to most of the delegates, including a
number who were pledged to him by
the votes of their states. Senator
Harding Is known as a standpatter.
He has followed the voice of the
party In all things. He favored the
peace treaty with reasonable reservations.
Say what you will, there is a dis
like, almost a distaste, for military
candidates. Despite ' his splendid
civil administration record, and de
spite the fact that he was not a West
Pointer, nor a prominent war figure,
Leonard Wood lost ground because
of his uniform. General Pershing
didn't get to first base in his own
(adopted for the occasion) state. It's
unusual when the voters won't rally
when the flag is waved, cnpecially at
the close of a great war, and may
be explained by the fact that some
many of the voters were in that war,
and don't fancy that style of government.
The republican tlck.it, as a
whole, is a disappointment to union
labor. Governor Coolldae first came
into prominence through his activi
ties in the Boston policemen's strike,
which he handled admirably from
the point of view of the public, but
he won thereby the enmity of union
labor. Senator Harding' attitude on
the labor Question is not known
Indeed, his attitude on most ques
tlons is unknown but his support
ers say that when the time comes,
the public shall be told of the way he
gets along with the workmen In his
own factories, which ought to be a
reasonably fair test.
Alliance citizens who have been
inclined to look on clean-up cam
paigns in the light of a Joke, so far
as actually rkanlng up was con
cerned, are due for a great shock,
if they haven't already received it.
City Physician Hand isn't putting on
his campaign to oblige a newspaper
friend by furnishing a basis for se
curing advertising. He's putting it
on to make the town not only sight
ly, but sanitary. He knows the law
fairly thoroughly, and is prepared to
lay it down on occasions. Inciden
tally, he interprets it most strictly,
and the average business man will
find, on inquiry or sooner than that,
that he has transgressed In some
way. It comes, as we say, with con
siderable of a shock, but Alliance
ought to be a cleaner city when the
city physician and his aide-de-camp
get over the ground. Better begin
to mop up the back yard and paint
out the flyspecks before you are told
to tell It to the Judge. This isn't a
make-believe campaign. It will come
hard after several years laxness in
enforcing the regulations, but it
ought to make Alliance a City Sani
tary, and likewise a City Beautiful

each intent on victory. The mayor
is unfortunate In that the council is
with the city manager, but the law
appears to be slightly in his favor,
which fact seems to hearten him
wonderfully. At a recent meeting
the council voted down each pro
posal made by the mayor with
clocklike regularity, and overruled
his every objection. In short, the
proceedings remind one very much
of a democratic governor and a re
publican legislature. The mayor's
adherents have finally dragged the
matter into court by means of an in
Junction suit. The city manager
Idea is fine, no doubt, but in cities
like Alliance, the safest way to work
it is to make the mayor the city
manager. Otherwise, there'll be
war, Juding from the experience of
the two cities nearest home. When
ever too much power is conferred in
the name of efficiency, either by
city ordinance, state legislature or
congress, there's always a good deal
of competition to see who can exer
cise the most of It.

expense was to be enjoyed. The simplicity of the Ford car, its stability in
construction, the famous heat-treated Vanadium steel with its marvelous strength
and flexibility, the low cost of operation and maintenftncri, its ease in operation,

the one car that always satisfies and serves. A utility beyond question that all
