...event of Mr. Harding's election, make impossible the rejection of such an idea. Even more, it will make imperative and certain the immediate application of that idea to the international affairs of the United States.

As a Republican nominee for the Presidency Johnson is now out of the question, but as a source of trouble his position is pregnant with possibilities. The Root plank which carried the convention over the critical period of the platform discussion, has aroused rather than soothed the unpleasant memories of eight years ago.
