THE SOUTH AND THE WEST ij;.
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.

As for tho railrocul3. 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

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

some alleviation from 100 degree
warmth was accorded Oklahoma.
Idaho was the envy of tho nation

monit thoso Democrats was John

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

bile was something to wonder at In
those days.
Thenceforward Franklin D. Roose

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

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

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."
