CTOUOR QUESTION SUPPLANTS ECONOMIC ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN
1 position far the question the Demo-
crate and insurgent Republicans
tried to raise. In "Commerce and
Finance" for Aug. 11, is a statement
of the need for stabilized markets,
and of the devices used to achieve
that purpose but avoid collision
with the existing anti-trust lawa:
“The fact is that left entirely
alone the law of supply and demand
economic issues might then be
brought to the front, and the ree
vival of idealism which The Bale
timore Sun” predicts might occur
-------*-------
Arranged In a straight line the
railways of th. earth would reach
to the moon .nd back—477,636 miles;
Soap was mad. by th. Gauls more
them 2000 years ago. They made J

‘political issue might go back to
the status the dry. thought they
had achieved for it when they put
prohibition in the constitution. To
get liquor, and the liquor interests,
out of polities was one of the main
motives for advocating the 18th
amendment. If by any chance wet
candidates like Vare in Penney)"
vanie, and elsewhere, should be
beaten: If the drys should have de-
cisive victories generally, then the
liquor question might retire.The
only because elections in New York
as the largest state are often in a
sense national but because the
coming developments In New York
seem bound to affect the national
position of the Republican party.
If the Republican senator. Wads-
worth, win. his reelection, a. he
seems destined to at this stage, he
will become a most important figure

natur. of th. situation he will be

from now to name President Cool

tor Wadsworth would have a large
part, possibly' a determining part.

whoever else I. to be th. R.publl-
can nominee. A* Republican nominee
who gets his nomination as in any
conspicuous degree the beneficiary
of Senator Wadsworth would, to
aom. extent take on th. Senator's
wet color. For the Republican parts |
nationally there are odd possibili-
ties inherent in what is now going 1
on within the Republican party in
New York.
In any event, it ...m. clear that
for tn. present election and for the
presidential one two year, from
. now, th. economic issue la elbowed
. out of the picture by the liquor Is-
sues Within each of th. parties
wets and drys contend for control.
After control ha. been .titled with-
in each party will com. a fight bs-
tween th. two. If th. dry element
of the Democrat, ispsuccestul and
nominates McAdoo or some other
dry th. Republicans may find them-
selves put In a strange and per-
plexing position by what I. now go-
ing on In New York.
All this,as to two years from
now, might be upset by on. con-
tingency. It is just possible that
the liquor issue may be settled by
this year's senatorial and congress
sional elections. If the wets should
be decisively beaten In their various _
rights this year, prohibition as A GASH
issue In their minds and balance
consideration ofon. against con-
sideration of another: but voters in
th. mass focus on one issue and cast
their ballots on it. The right of the
wets for reconsideration of the
present status of prohibition has
put the dry. on the defensive, and
both groups are going practically
to ignore other issues.
How far this tendency can go 1.
illustrated by the senatorial, con-
test in Illinois. It was revealed
that the Republican candidate,
Frank Smith, who la chairman of
the public utility commission, had
received campaign contributions of
mor. than $150,000 from three
heads of publie utilities who could
benefit by hl. official decisions:
and that hl. Democratic opponent,
George Brennan, had recelyed ($15,"
000 from on. of th. same sources
Under ordinary circumstances that
would have constituted a determe
luing political issue. Recurrent agi-
tation. to compel either Smith, or
both Smith and Brennan, to resign
their nomination# came from high-
minded leaders of thought, auch as
| Julius Rosenwald. But the general
public, not through cyniclam. but
through the working of a familiar
