La Follette Grows.
However, Don't W orry.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
John W. Davis, once ambassador
to Great Britain, now lawyer for
J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., the
greatest British-American banking
house, is nominated by the demo
crats for president of the United
States.
And that is that.
One interesting question is, what
will William J. Bryan do now?
It is his custom to speak frankly
about democratic candidates be
fore they are nominated and always
support them afterwards. He sup
ported Parker, although he opposed
his nomination. Will he be able to
support Davis now, after his state
ment in the convention that Mr.
Davis would not be allowed to sit
on any jury, judging a case involv
ing the interests of J. Pierpont
Morgan?
The other day when Wall street
betting was 11 to 5 on Coolidge’s
election, it was said here that the
odds ought really to be 11,000 to
1, barring the unknown quality of
La Follette.
But 11,000 to l on Coolidge
would be hardly fair, now that the
democratic nomination has been
made. You can decide for your
self whether those odds should be
, made longer or shorter.
Mr. Davis’ nomination makes the
La Follette campaign more inter
esting and more puzzling than ever.
Many farmers in the northwest
intended to vote against the repub
lican administration to express dis
satisfaction with high railroad
rates and other troubles.
Is it likely that those farmers
will leave the republican party to
vote for J. Pierpont Morgan’s law
yer, who inevitably will be con
nected in their minds with rail
roads managed and rates put up
through the J. Pierpont Morgan
office?”
Mr. Davis' nomination must
mean many republican votes for
La Follette that would have gone
to the democrats had a different
democrat been named.
If republicans are wise, they
will do something to please the
farmers. The best thing at present
is to concentrate on better prices
for farm products, wheat, corn,
oats, rye, etc. Wheat prices went
up a couple of cents a bushel yes
terday. Perhaps republicans "feel
that they can now ignore the demo
crats. But they can’t ignore La
Follette and the only way to fight
La Follette is with high prices for
the farmers.
Luckily, the prosperity of this
country does not depend entirely
upon men nominated by political
conventions. The nominee means
sometimes as much as one per cent
of the total. The people, what
they W'ant, what, they intend and
what they think means 99 per
cent.
This country has one New Eng
lander, moderate conservative, run
ning for president. And it has a
pleasant, estimable corporation
lawyer, superlatively conservative,
running for president.
It has in Senator La Follette an
expression of the dissatisfaction
among farmers and others. And at
the same time it has in La Follette
a man who has for real lawlessness
what Wall street gentlemen are
pleased to call “red radicalism and
bolshevism,” a contempt as great
as that of any conservative.
More important than any candi
date is the country. We have the
world's gold, 112,000,000 of the
best people, resources unlimited,
only half developed, public schools
that guarantee gradual elimination
of ignorance and power in the
hands of the people to do whatever
they please, if they think it worth
while.
Such guarantees make you feel
that you need not worry about
candidates.
The best officials and candidates
in all the world’s history could not
make a civilized nation of the Con
go region in 1,000 years. The
worst candidates or officials in all
the world’s history could not pos
p,.. sibly prevent the development and
growth of the United States in the
right direction.

"Enclosed find money for the

strange that Omaha has to depend
on towns much smaller for help
when they have so many rich people
who should be willing to assist."
So reads a letter from Mrs. Frances
Colson, Fremont, Neb.
It Is true that many of the con
tributions to the Free Milk and Ice
fund come from the people In the
small towns. They appreciate how
unfortunate poor babies are In the
great city.
Also most of the money comes from
people who are not rich.
Every penny contributed goes to
buj pure, nourishing milk and Ice
to keep It cool for suffering babies
In destitute homgs where there is no
father and where the poor, sick moth

Too often she Is unsuccessful
through the hot weather and sees the

Where the babes have the help that
