PARTY HEROES
To anyone who is nt all interested in the' conduct of ine
great political campaigns which are now taking the liohTs
share of radio time and newspaper space there must ooca
, sionaily come the rather melancholy thought that the great
party heroes (the patron saints-so to speak whose names
must always be mentioned reverently in keynote addresses
and campaign speeches) receive much more devotion from
their parties after death than while they are alive.-
Each party has its great heroes, and each party1 always
drags out their images figuratively speaking in the big
campaigns. The Republicans specialize in Abraham Lincoln,
of course; and lately they have begun to enshrine Theodore
Roosevelt in an, adjacent niche. The Democrats' start wifcli
Thomas Jefferson, pause to bend the knee before .the figure
of Andrew Jackson, and then drop the rest of their wreaths
at the feet of Woodrow Wilson.
But most of those great men who . are now so highly I
praised by their political descendants fell far short of win
ning such Complete devotion from their followers during
life. Lincoln, for example, is now on a pedestal. But the
dawn of 1865 found his party bitterly divided. A large sec
tion was almost incredibly hostile to him, and if Booth had
not killed him, Lincoln would have felt the wrath of the
radicals instead of Johnson. His attempts to save the South
from the horrors of the reconstruction period in the fate
sixties would have exposed Lincoln to that same blind hos
tility of those in his party who ultimately tried to throw
Johnson out of office.
Roosevelt, likewise, was not atways the idol of his entire
party; he was roundly snubbed in 1912 and he had to break
the party in half and help elect Wilson in order to win back
his place in the councils of the Republican party.
And Wilson, before his public career was ended, sat at
the head of a divided party. Not all the votes that killed
the bright hopes of the Treaty of Versailles in the United
States senate came from the Republican side; and in the
campaign of 1920 there were plenty of party leaders who
found it expedient to slay out of the battle for the great Wil
sonian doctrines. Not until after his death did the Demo
cratic party really enshrine him.
Such is the lot of any leader who has definite principles
and convictions and is willing to uphold them even when the
.members of his own piirty turn against him.
STILL PAY INC! FOR WAR si
It isn't often that you see an English date lino over a story
about violent combats between- unemployed men and the,
police. The recent clash in London, in which several thou
sand men fought with the police for hours arid sent nearly
twoscore to the hospitals, was decidedly out of the ordinary.
Bloody riots in English cities ar not common events. !c
But no country is immune from such things these days.
England, Germany, America the roar of the mob has been
heard everywhere, and that it signifies a deep and far
reaching dissatisfaction with things as they are, a feeling
shared by the submerged masses verywhere, is too obvious
to deny.
In pait this international unrest may be a protest against
an economic order that needs revision. In part it is simply
a blind and unreasoning outburst against hunger and want.
But if you study it long enough, you cannot fail to trace its
main roots directly back to the World war.
That, of course, is a matter of common knowledge. Rut
it is a fact that must be kept constantly in mind these days.
The hardships that the world is undergoing these days, the
hardships that find ugly expression in ominous riots, are
simply part of the price that we are still paying for the in
sane conflict of 1914-18. War, in short, is luxury for which
one must keep on paying, in the most painful way, for years
after the dale of purchase.
To be sure, this is all water under the bridge, as far as
the last war is concerned. We are paying for a dead horse,
and there isn't much we can do about it. But we might re
member the whole thing the next time our nation finds itself
in a spot where it must decide whether it will have peace or
war.
In such a moment, we might remember that the cost of
war is not to be reckoned solely in the lives lost and money
spent during the conflict itself. Horrible as those losses are,
they are only a part of the bill; in some ways, not the worst
part of it. .
Long after the war ends, its dislocating effects arc still in
operation. Today, 14 years after the armistice, we have
want and suffering and violence as our installment. It will '
not l)e different in the next war. i

Al Smith's Noo Jolsoy speech was
either the rottencst political platform
ad drew ever delivered In behalf of
any party In this or any other coun
try, or else It marked the deepest
strategy- ever employed by any cam
paign spellbinder. Anyway It was the
most astounding.
Ha devoted mott of his time to
digging in the 1028 graveyard 'ex
huming old scores in order to (rive
everyone and every element connected
with them "the wolks." After pay
ing hie personal respects to all those
who contributed to his defeat four
years ago, which consumed most of

he wrote the Democratic wee pianic
and that the dumb democrats at
tho Houston convention cheated him
out of the presidency four years ago,

It takes a wizard to Interpret that

into seven analytical words "Vote for

However, there Is a serious aspect
to that apeecn a porcenuous aspect
Tho seriousness of the situation lies
in this thought "Who will bo presi

Franklin D. Roosevelt Is what was
known In the Bowery as a political
dilettante, a patrician sine siock

I . (Tins itiunu) tne .Democrats
put him up as a candidate for vice
president. His pitiful efforts in that
role to be a swashbuckler almost put
him Into oblivion. .,.
But the rugged old politician Al
Smith was grooming himself for the
presidency. He picked Roosevelt tp
be his successor as governor. The
rough and ready Al from the side
walks of New York and the halls of
Tammany needed him for scenic ef
fects. Al picked mm as the parsley
to the fish.
For four years he has talked vacu
ous nothings. Taxes have rolled up
to tho highest ever Known in New
York and yet ho has not even made
protest. The city of New York
broke. The scandals of Wall street
are at his door unprotested. He
feebly tries to blame these market
orgies on Hoover although the New
York stock market is in uirect control
of his own office. He hedged and
cringed on the Tammany scandals
ana pumiciy aDUsea juagc ueaoury
for his diligent work In uncovering
tho scandals of Jimmy Walker. It
was only after the work had been
done that the investigators of Wal
ker got any support from Roosevelt,
and then he came in at the killing.
Ho ib now finishing his campaign,
master fault-flndor, nccuscr and
abuser, but a pitiful fltfure as a
statesman; without having taken a
single out and out stand on any one
of the groat Issues that confront his
countrymen; a mere pussy-footing
politician content to duck and dodge
on every question; content to 1001
tho people by pretended answers that
l:eveal nothing a grinning Pclly
annn without courago to take a firm
stand on any Issue.
Who will bo president If this plastic
character this man who Is known to
newspapor correspondents, at Wash

Will It bo the weak Roosevelt; or
will It be one or all of the stronger
willed Tanunany trio Smith, Raskob,
Farley?
Yea. Jim Farley, Tammany's prime
minister; Roosevelt's campaign man
ager and political mentor what will
ho have to say? Will the scandalous
hand of Tammany reach directly In
to tho White House for the first time
in the history of this country?
Is this the type "tho Lord God
made and gave to have dominion"
over this greot nation at this crucial
time? That is the question for YOU,

yesterday made a stirring appeal to
tho "great heart" of the American
