Declaring and Defining the Iisuei.
The "keynote" speech, delivered by Temporary
Chairman Harding to the republican convention
at Chicago yesterday, is a message to the voters
of the country. It frankly declares and clearly
defines the issues between the republicans and
the democrats, so far as national administration
goes. In terms plain and simple, and easy to
understand. Senator Harding does away with the
craftily fostered notion, set up by the democrats,
that no fundamental difference exists between
the two parties. Failure of the Wilson adminis
tration to carry out its promises, and to satis
factorily meet and deal with the great events that
have arisen since the democrats came into control
of the national government' is but part of the in
dictment now brought against that party,
The republicans add to charges of incompe
tency and neglect the inability of the democrats
to initiate and set on foot any great or beneficial
constructive legislation. Always a party of nega
tion and reaction, the democrats not only have
failed signally in setting forward the mark of the
country, but have not been able to hold it where
they found it. A fictitious prosperity, in which
but certain lines share, and which is directly due
to the European war and will certainly disappear
with the coming of peace, is relied upon by the
administration to support its claims to continu
ance. Only vague and indefinite promises for the
future are made, makeshifts to meet temporary
conditions; the On permanent plan suggested
by Mr. Wilson or any of his advisers being the
investment of $50,000,000 in vessels at the highest
market price, to be sold or leased to private
owners.
On the other hand, the republicans promise
definitely to give the country relief from present
conditions, to restore stability to the industry and
commerce of the country by proper legislation,
and create and foster enterprise that will further
develop our resources and insure the prosperity
of sll, Americans will be protected at home and
abroad, and the flag of the United States will be
restored to a place of respectability among the
great nations of the world. The people are weary
of the vacillation that has marked the last three
years of our history, and the republicans are
pledged to bring relief.
Republican Harmony in Sight
The progress of the Chicago convention so far
has held nothing that consoles the democrats.
In spite of the most determined efforts of the Wil
sonites and the Dryanites, and the other wings
ind divisions of the party of Incompetence, to
perpetuate the split in the republican ranks, the
delegates at Chicago, representing the voters st
home, are coming closer to the reunion thst
means the end of the present democratic admin
istration. The gathering st Chicago simulta
neously of the representatives of the republicans
and the progressives did not result in the violent
clash the democrats had hoped for. On the con
trary, these delegates immediately began earn
estly to seek a common ground on which they
could meet, to the end that division, of the repub
lican party be brought to an end. Nothing spec
tacular marked the proceedings, the delegates and
party leaders realiiing they were at Chicago with
a definite mission, and that their business could
better be transacted without especial accompani
ment of noise and futile display. It has been this
aspect of the proceedings that has most discon
certed the democrats. Reunion in the republican
party seems to be in sight.
Why Omaha Will March.
On Wednesday of next week Omaha will sus
pend business for half a day, and generally par
ticipate in a popular demonstration of respect for
the flag of the United States. That sentiment
must not be mistaken for any partisan expression,
fur the endorsement of sny scheme of military
preparedness, or for anything but the patriotic
impulse of the citizens, shown by their presence
in the marching column or among the cheering
crowds on the sidewalk. Nor must this feeling
be confounded with any attitude of unwillingness
to take part at any time in defense of the flag.
Omaha folks are not eager for war, nor given
over to devotion to military glory. But tliey are
now and always have been ready to do their part
in upholding the United States and all that such
duty implies will be cheerfully fulfilled. Pre
paredness has its proper part in the thought of
our people, and they are not inclined to shirk re
sponsibility, but the flag day parade ought not
to be confused with any plan for preparing for
drfense.

Cost of a Campaign
JStw fork Hanld.
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS, at lowest es
timate, will be spent in 1916 on our quad
rennial political jag. It is a moderate es
tlmate, for, by being a little far-fetched, it could
be doubled. It may, indeed, amount to a cool
hundred million.
Hut a total expenditure of fifty millions means
an expense of $J.50 per voter and 50 cents per
capita for the entire population, It can be de
fended on the Tom Reed theory that this is a
fifty-mollion-dollar country.
Laws of recent years enacted by congress
and most of the states requiring the filing, of
sworn statements of the origin and disposition
of campaign funds have lately, for the first time
In the history of the nation, nude available fairly
accurate data on the high cost of politics in this
country. , . ',
Politics comes highest In presidential election
years, not only because of the large expenditures
of the national committees, but because three
fourths of the 100,000 and more elective officers--national,
stale, county and municipal are filled
at or about the same time. Indeed, scarcely
more than 5 per cent of the total cost of politics
for the country as a whole this year will be
born by the big party committees.
Some 200,000 individuals are now, or soon will
be, seeking offices in the United States. All wilt
spend some money, and money will be spent by
others for a great many of them. There will be
several thousand "campaign committees" of va
rious kinds and quality.
The taxpayers directly will have to take care
of the largest single item of expense, that for the
election machinery. In New York state alone
the cost of registering the voters and conduct
ing the November election will be about $2,500,
000. For all ihe states it will amount to not less
than $25,000,000. Several hold their state elec
tions on dates other than for selecting a presi
dent; one, Maine, has a different day for choos
ing representatives in congress, This makes the
election machinery almost doubly costly in those
states, Most of the town and city elections,
which will take place in hree-fourths of all the
municipalities this year, will be on other dates.
If you were to add to the direct expenses the
Indirect losses caused by "election year," such as
the depressing effect on business and the loss
from industry of the time of the thousands who
will give several months of their time to politics
alone, not omitting the celebration of election
night a half million dollar item in New York
City alonein other words, if yots were to figure
the "cost" as many figure that of the European
war, the expense of our leap-year political ex
ercises would reach a total of more than $500,
000,000. Some of the election reform legislation of
late years has tended to lower the high cost of
politics, while other legislation has increased it.
The necessity for filing statements of expendi
tures, now almost universal, makes candidates
and committees more circumspect in soliciting
and disposing of funds. In quite a number of
instances expenditures are limited by law, and
to exceed the legal maximum disqualifies the
f:uilty candidate and makes committeemen sub
ect to indictment. The extension of the pri
mary election idea has increased the expense be
cause it necessitates an extra election and forces
many candidates to make two popular campaigns
where one sufficed before. About half as much
money is spent in the pre-convention as in the
post-convention contests.
The expenses of the national committees of
the two big parties rarely fall below $2,000,000,
and frequently go beyond $5,000,000 in a presi
dential year.
It is generally admitted that the republican
national committee of 18vo, under the leadership
of 'Mark Hanna, first made "the roof the limit'
in spending money, The funds used to elect
Mckinley have been estimated at from $3,000,000
to $7,000,000. They probably were nearest the
last figures However, memoranda left by Cor
nelius N. Bliss, who was treasurer of the com
mittee, indicate that the funds passing officially
throiiRh the committee's hands aggregated only
$3,500,000. According to the same data the fund
employed to re-elect McKinley in 1900 was a
"trifle below" $3,000,000.
The republican national committee usually
disposes of the most funds. But some demo
cratic national committees have been superb
spenders. In 18'2 not less than $2,000,000, per
haps a great deal more, was used in electing
Cleveland, all of whose races were engineered by
men who were adepts in raising and generous in
contributing political funds.
There are no authoritive data on democratic
expenditures except for the campaigns of 1908
and 1912, when the expenses of the committee
approximated $1,000,000 for each year.
George B. Cortelyou, who was chairman, Is
authority for the statement that the republican
national committee disposed of a tittle more than
$2,000,000 to elect Roosevelt in 1904. The elec
tion of President Taft in 1908 cost nearly as
much.
There sre good data on all the campaigns of
1912 both before and following the conventions.
Those who sought the democratic nomination
that year did so at a total cost, in round figures,
of $450,000, divided as fellows;

The campaigns of Taft and Roosevelt for the
republican nomination cost $100,000 or more, and
the sum was divided about equally between them.
Statements filed by all the committees of par
ties running prendciiti.il candidates in 1912 show
receipts and expenditure as follows:

Varnish buying
should be regarded aa an investment. .
Some varnishes pay as dividends a handsome
and lasting finish, while others soon go bank
rupt and the job has to be done over. The dif
ference in the cost per gallon of the two kinds
is nominal and it costs as much to apply one as
the other.
LIQUID GRANITE Floor Varnish ia a dividend pay
ing finish and you will take no chances in using it
on your floors. It is waterproof, resists hard wear,
and makes a smooth, mellow lustre that always
pleases, and is easily cared for.
Liquid Granite is also adapted for oil cloth and lin
oleum, and is a perfect general purpose varnish.
LUXEBERRY WHITE ENAMEL makes the finest
white interiors, produces a permanent snow white
finish in either dull or gloss effects that can be modi
fied to shades of ivory or gray, when desired.
