It iH never easy to analyze a great historical or political movement accurately while it is still in progress. It has'to be seen in perspective to be gauged' properly. Nevertheless, it is already fairly evident that some far-reaching shift is now taking place in the political alignments of the Demo cratic pui'ty. Traditionally, the Democrats were a party of farmers and small town populations. Its great strength lay in the south and west; it would not trust industrialism, big business, or high, finance; it was always ready to accept such panaceas as the free silver movement; it was trying to fit antique Jeffersonianism to an industrialized democracy. In recent years, however, it has included another wing the proletariat, so to speak, of the great cities. Since the close of the Wilson administration it has been torn by a con flict between its two groups the south and west allied against the industrial east. In 1920, 1924, and 1928 the industrial east triumphed over its opponents. Cox went into the 1920 campaign vyith. the approval of Tanunany. Davis, in 1924, was highly accept able to the east. Smith, in 1928, was the very prototype of the city man, the darling of the eastern sidewalks, t i Now 'the pendulum has! swung the other way.' Ilooseyelt and Garner have risen to power through the support o; the opposite wing. Tammany is out in the cold. The west and south are in the saddle again. v It would be interesting to know whether or not this ''new ascendancy is to be permanent. Probably only the seventh son of a seventh son could tell. But it is just possible that a lasting realignment of forces is now beginning, ancf one jvhicli will affect the ranks of both parties. ?.?', One party cannot change its complexion without causing a corresponding shift in the opposite party. The Republicans have their rural and industrial wings, just as the Democrats have. Will there be, eventually, a movement which will inako the division between the two great parties farsharper-nnd. clearer than it has been in the past decade? It is too early to tell just now, but present conditions seenv to indicate that such a development would- bo beneficial' to politics and to the country in general. NEW SCHOOL OP ORATORS Real oratory has been almost a lost art in American poli tics in recent years. Now it is beginning to look as if what is left oC it is going to suffer a most profound, change. The impassioned shoutings, the majestic deliberation of address, the age-old tricks of the orators trade all of these, abruptly, have become handicaps instead of assets. The most moving political oration of the future is apt to be a quiet speech almost conversational in its tone. You get this idea, anyway, at-ter absorbing pari of a poli tical campaign by radio. It is the radio which is about to transform the orator's art and the net result will be a distinct gain for the orator's listeners. The recent party conventions illustrated tho change adi mirably. Sitting by the loudspeaker, you would1 hear Senator Wlimwis or the Him, Blank engaged' in making tho welkin ring. It would all be in Hie traditional manner. Each sent ence would take anywhere from IH) seconds to two minutes 1o come to birth. There would be a long pause for wind after every fourth or fifth word. The orators vocal cords would1 be torn in frenzied shouts until it would. seem us if his throat must burst from the strain. Then, when he had finished, a regular radio announcer would take the microphone to make some announcement and what a contrast! In a quiet, even voice he would prove himself capable of saying ten limes as much in a given time, of saying it in finitely more clearly and of making an incomparably better impression. Tho contrasts furnished over and over again, day after day, at each convention weiv too sharp to leave any room for doubt. The orator is going to have to change his style. The tricks that went over big in the day of vast outdoor meetings fall utterly flat on the radio. The passionate shout becomes a nuisance; the impressive pause becomes a bare. Tho orator of tomorrow will be the man who can say what ho has to say quickly, quietly and with restraint. The school of Senator Sounder is done for. OUT OUR WAY By J. R.

Tha lmprcs skm prevails In many quartora that tho railroads In the United States- are tho private property of a very few very rich men. Evon If that were true, whloh It Is not, it would not change the foot that the railroads aro the backbone of the transportation &ys tom of tho country: that thoy nra tho largest employers of labor; that they are one of tho largest purchasers of raw and fabricated materials of all kinds, and that their underlying se curities to tho extent of many bil lions of dollars aro hold by tho great fiduciary Institutions, such as Insur ance companies and savings banks, whtr.lv means that Indirectly thoro Is Invested In them tho si wings of tho American people. To maintain tho credit of. tho rail roads, therefore, to provent them from going Into bankruptcy; Is vastly more than to safeguard the capital of a few rich men, It is to provide employ ment to thousands of men and to scour tho savings of millions of In dividual citizens. When a railroad goes Into receivership men aro dis charged, capital Improvements arc suspended, purchases fall off, securi ties aro depreciated, service to the public is curtailed and the etabillty of insurance companies and savings banks Jeopardized. These aro the fundamental reasons why railroads were Included In reconstruction legis lation Intended to strengthen and protect our national economy. The railroads aro semi-public institutions. Their security issues ore regulated, their rates controlled, their earnings confiscated over a fair return. Re striction on earning power of rail roads in good times obliges the gov ernment to recognize their distress in hard- timos: Railroads, rnortgngo companies, building and loan associations, Joint stock land banks, agricultural credit corporations and tho like, which ore considered by tho Reconstruction Fi nance Corporation, are all concerned with the public interest. Their sta bility and their successful function ing not only sustains tho national credit structure, but protects the in dividual citizen and promotes his prosperity. To say that, tho Reconstruction Fi nance Corporation operates exclusive ly for tho benefit of tho rich and the great and holds no benefits for tho llttlo fellow Is not only rank dema goguory but Is In direct contravention of obvious facts.

TWO SCOItH VICTIMS (Uy The Associated Press) A torrid Bun scythed through tho land with full-strength harvest-tlmo heat yesterday, gathering nearly two score victims. Relief was predicted in some of tho sweltering regions today but the mid dle west wilted under a continuance of the blistering blasts. That .section led In fatalities yes terday. ; Seven deatlia wore attributed to tho heat in the Chicago area where tho 'maximum was 97. Milwaukee, Wis.;- with the Hottest July 10 in ite history at 08, reported three deaths. Detroit's warmest weather this year brought three heat deaths and dx drownings, with no relief In sight. Valentine, Neb., staggered under an official maximum of 104; Flndlay, O., and Kokomo, ind., had 103 each; and temperatures of 100 were reporwd in many other mlddlewest communities. Tho east lost its comfortable weather and as the mercury climbed In hitherto cool New England, seven drownings swelled tho nation's death list. j : South Gets Homo Relief ' . In tho south, ocean breezes cooled Florida and showers brought some surcease elsewhere. Clouds and rains broko tho heat wave in Texas and some alleviation from 100 degree warmth was accorded Oklahoma. Idaho was the envy of tho nation with subnormal temperatures follow ing rains. Tho Pacific, coast continued serono with normal weather.

All 13 policemen were charged with conspiracy to obstruct Justice and seven of them were charged- with sec ond degree assault. Deputy Police Chief Frank Tappen was named in two warrants, once for negloct of duty and again as having been an acces sory to the beating of Stark which caused his death. .

It was rather a thank less task, since Dutchess hail been neptibllenn so lonn the candidacy was mno nominal than real. monit thoso Democrats was John E Mack, tormcr stlpreinc court Jus tice. Ho had met a young man named Kronklln D. Roosevelt, then Just 28 year old. an active lawyer. Ha liked Hoosevelt, and thought It an opportune time to put another Hoosovclt name In politics. Certainly many of the Democrats wore convinced no one could win that tight; perhaps Mr. Mack felt much the same way. Anyway they nominated Itoosevelt. And. much to their wonderment, ho won alter a vigorous t-.mpalgn over the county, the county that contains his homo Hyde Park. Perhaps part of tho votes camo from his use ot an automobile to make campaign trips becauw an automo bile was something to wonder at In those days. Thenceforward Franklin D. Roose velt's name stayed In the political spotlight. Always was John B. Mack near to give help In the direction of his proteges career. A few days ago ho broupht nearer to climax the growth of that career, placing Roose velt In nomination before the Demo cratic, national convention. Judgo Mack did not orato at the convention. His speech waa simple and calm. He had seen and helped this man from a staU srnatorshlp to tho highest gift of tho Demo crats party. Ho felt ho knew Roose velt. And Roosevelt was duly apprecia tive. He wired Judge Mack his thanks, saying, "No matter what the result today, you and I alwaya go on together."

(Continued from Page One) Chancellor Franz Von Papon was appointed commissioner of Prussia and Lord Mayor Franz Bracht of Essen was named the chancellor's assistant and given the dictatorial power, in Von Papon's name. Martini Uiw Ordered Tho decree of martial . law was issued when Karl Severing, Prussian minister of interior, declined to ac cept the president's first emergency decree as binding and declared he would yield only to force. General Gcrd Von Rundstcdt, commander of the third relchswehr (army) district was placed In charge of Berlin and Bradcuburg under the martial law order. He was also given command of all police forces in this area. Chancellor Von Papen decided, for the present at least, to remove only Premier , Braun and Herr Severing from, the Prussian ministry, leaving the rest of the members of the state cabinet in .office, as his deputies .

Merely Pans lug Measure A government spokesman said President Von Hlndcnburg's action was taken only with a view of estab lishing security and order in Prussia and that it was merely a passing measure. Tho martial law decree emphasized that "the independence of Prussia within the framework of the consti tution Is not ouched by the emer gency docroe." Tho government charged that while tho other states of the roich squel ched communistic disorders Prussia failed to do so. It expressed the opinion Herr Severing and other high officials of the Prussian state regime contributed to the unrest "by their unrestrained sharp attacks on the rclchs government." General Von Uundstedt Is 56 years old. He was an Infantry captain at tho outbreak of the World war, after which he Joined the general staff, on which . lie- was active until the armistice. He wns appointed a lieutenant col onel In 1020 and a lieutenant general In 1020. Ho became commander or tho third relchswehr district in Berlin last January.
