Brookhart Gets Walloped
THE defeat of Senator Brookhart in the Iowa primaries
looms as the major surprise of 1932 to date. It was how
ever, indicated by a popular poll taken by the Des Moines
Register-Tribune some months ago. Brookhart was defeated
by Henry Field, operator of a big seed business in Shenan
doah, whose name had become a household familiar by virtue
of his radio station with daily broadcasts. We recall visiting
in eastern Iowa in 1927, and the program the people were
listening to was generally from Field's station at Shenan
doah. It started with morning worship and carried on
through most of the day. All through the program was the
homely appeal of Field and his large family. Field also made
a big hit by inviting the Iowa farmers to come to Shenan
doah, visit his store, get acquainted with his family; and by
permitting those who came to talk briefly over the radio to
the folk back home. On such a foundation of widespread pub
licity Henry Field took Brookhart to a surprising licking.
The immediate cause of Brookhart's defeat was the dis
closure of his nepotism. Field harped on the disclosures that
the Brookhart family wa3 drawing down some $25,000 a
year from the federal treasury. With savage thrusts Field as
sailed Brookhart as the foe of "Wall Street" whose own rec
ord was unsavory.
Brookhart has undoubtedly been about the wildest dem
agogue who ever invaded the senate. He was not intelligent
ly radical. LaFoIlette, pere, had brains ; Norris of Nebraska
is both honest and shrewd and analyzes issues with much
clearness. But Brookhart has been chiefly a vocal arm-waver,
with no intelligent program even in radicalism. He was
one of the prima donnas of progressiveism but his voice was
b&clly CTiclccCsL
There has alwa3s been bitter opposition to Brookhart
in Iowa. The state was long a stronghold of conservatism.
Speaker Henderson, Senator Allison, Representative Hep
burn were all conservatives. The newer and more advanced
leadership came with Dolliver and Cummins, Both were men
of great ability and rendered constructive national service.
But Brookhart turned against Cummins and in bitter cam
paigns defeated him, ending the career of one who had been
v a distinguished and honest servant of the people on a sane
basis. Brookhart thus gained the hostility not only of the an
cient conservative faction, but of the Cummins element as
well. His foes have been relentless; and finally appear to
bave compassed his defeat.
Iowa has a 35 law, by which unless a candidate gets
45 of the vote cast in the primaries, the nomination goes
to the state convention. Brookhart however would have no
chance before a state convention, for the party machinery
has been held by the anti-Brookhart faction.
The jolt to Brookhart will probably indicate that there
is a strong conservative trend at the present time. It is true
that this district turned down Hawley, a strong conserva
tive; but here, a combination of elements entered in to
strengthen Mott's candidacy. It is inconceivable however that
Brookhart is through with politics. He thrives on opposi
tion; is never happy unless he is fighting somebody; and he
never quits. That is his chief characteristic; pugnacity. He
was thrown out of office by the senate once before and Steck,
democrat was seated; but Brookhart came baclr after the
next election. It would not be at all surprising for him to
run now as an independent candidate, if such is permissible
under the Iowa laws.
The Iowa election is one for politicians to ponder over.
Rockefeller Deserts Dry Cause
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, Jr., a teetotaler, and one-time
heavy contributor to the Anti-Saloon league, has en
dorsed repeal of the 18th amendment, in a letter to Dr. Nich
olas Murray Butler, ancient foe of prohibition. The personal
character of Rockefeller and his past efforts in the cause of
temperance reform make his desertion of the dry cause an
important defection, perhaps the most important that has
come to public attention. While crediting Rockefeller with
honest motives, it is nevertheless necessary to examine the
reasons which he attributes for his new stand on the ques
tion.
He says that "drinking generally has increased"; that
speakeasies flourish, that respect for law and order lan
guish. Frankly we doj not see how the first assertion can be
substantiated. There certainly is less liquor consumed than
before prohibition when the saloons were openly dispensing
liquor. The speakeasy may abound in the city, but it is se
cretive. Go along the waterfront in San Francisco, below
Yesler way in Seattle, along old Clark street In Chicago, or
on the lower east'side of New York. You do not see the rows
of saloons spawning blear-eyed soaks onto the streets. You
. do not see the drunks in the gutters. Tfiese are the cities
where the speakeasies are most numerous. Even there the
outward evidences indicate improvement.
Respect for law and order has declined; but is that di
rectly attributable to the 18th amendment? Is it not rather
the product of the whole age of rebellion and of jazz which
followed the world war? The reasons which Rockefeller gives
are at lea'st highly debatable. On some of them we strongly
disagree with his opinion. The public should make its own
analysis in comparing conditions now and then; arid on the
basis of its own observations and reasoning, make up its
'mind whether the 18th amendment should be repealed or retained.

Those who love Nature can nev

temptations; but at least they will
run no risk of being beguiled, by
ennui. Idleness or want of occupa
tion, "to buy the merry madness
of an hour with the long penitence
of after-time." The love of Nature,
again, helps as greatly to keep
Ourselves free from those mean

much with calm and peace of

After the contract trip with Ma

of "the hole" in Nahlman's voice.
To cover it LQy Lou was allowed
to join in two numbers, singing; a
high, flute-like obbligato to one, a
lower, crooning melody to the other.
When she got too much applause
Nahlman would fly into a tantrum,
threaten to get a more competent
accompanist and there would be
uncomfortable hours. But few audi
ences noticed Lily Lou particularly.
They had come to hear Nahlman,
and old and tired as she was, with

she have worked for oratorio, lieder

Some of this she confided to
Tony. He shook his head. "No," he
said, "you are an artist LQy, and

aside the wrap, and the grand opera

generosity, on the piano, slipped
off her bracelets which she wore,
again after the style of Nahlman,
banked nearly to her elbows, and
motioning the pianist away, sat
down and played her own accom

had sung at the moving picture
