LOWDEN VS. MELLON
I have felt from the first that
th Republican will have a real
fight this fall. Feel
ing that way. I made up my
mind that I would not do any
thing that would militate
against my election.
The above statement was made by
former Gov. Lowden ot Illinois in his
recital to the Senate Campaign Funds
Committee of his canvass for the
nomination. It is a story of modest
expenditure of money a total of
SCO. 000 in happy contrast with his
lavish disbursements in the pre-con-vention
orgy of 192. The Lowden
canvass, moreover, nas not only oeen
scrupulous as regards finances, but it
has been marked by a distinctive
courtesy towards opponents, in U'.e
policy, for example, of refraining
from entering state? with "favorite
sons" candidates.
The quoted opinion as to the pros
pects of a real fight this fall is, how
ever, likely to attract more attention
than anything else Mr. Lowden said.
It is directly opposite to the assump
tion of Mr. Mellon in his talk to the
Pennsylvania caucus when, com
mending the action i:i sending an
uninstructed delegation to Kansas
City, he remarked that the Republi
can convention would not nit rely
nominate a candidate but would "in
all probability name the next Presi
dent of the United States."
Manifestly, Mr. Mellon thinks it is
going to be a Republican walkaway.
Still, in the matter of political pres
cience Mr. Lowden has a background
of actual experience superior to that
of Mr. Mellon. He has faced the elec
torate, as a successful candidate for
Congress and for the office of Gover
nor. During the eight vears since
1920 he has maintained an almost
continuous contact with public sen
timent. Certainly he speaks with cx-
Centional authority on agricultural
problems, both as a r-tudent and as a
practical fanner. Jfe has a profound
and apprehensive knowledge of the
faimer's grievances, difficult i s and
sp'ouldering discontent, which Mr.
M-l!on ii the isolation of his vast af
fairs has never dreamed of.
Mr. Lowden's judgment that the
election this fall will be a real fight
is fortified by information. Mr. Me
lon's impression that a Republican
nomination is equivalent to election
might possibly be classified as the
Pennsylvania tradition. Citizens in
terested primarily in the capacity
and integrity of their Government
will hope that Mr. Lowden proves
the more reliable prophet. Such one
party domination as the Secretary of
the Treasury so comfortably contem
plates would ultimately mean dis
aster. CUBA WARNS THE SENATE
The vehemence with which the
Cuban ambassador. Dr. Orestes Fer
rara, warns the United States Senate
to keep bands off, inspired by a reso
lution introduced by Senator Ship
stead, asking for 211 investigation to
determine whether the rights and
property of United States citizens in
Cuba are being fully protected under
the Piatt amendment, leads to some
natural speculation.
If the Piatt amendment is being
fully lived up to by Cuban author
ities and we have no evidence to
the c' utrarv why should we cry
1
! about "matters which convulsively
j concern Cuba and Cuban people" be
raised? One cann t h"!p but think
(that Dr. Ferrara "doth potest too
much."
i Senator Ship?tt ."d's resolution, on
the ether hand, is not a wise method
of procedure. If he has credible evi
dence that the rights of American
citizens are not duly regarded in
Cuba, he should present that evi
dence to our own secretary of state,
whose duty it would be to find out
the facts and act accordingly. To
spring the matter upon the public in
the form of a resolution in the Sen
ate demanding an investigation is to
jsuggest at once a partisan political
motive, not a keen concern for the
rights of Americans in Cuba. We do
not believe that any difficulties in
our Cuban relation either have
arisen, or are likely to arise, which
cannot be quickly, justly and satis
factorily settled through the regular
channels, which do not
