The answer came, with 'enlightening frankness, "That, sire, is a revolution." r. '-,) r. -'llix Tuesday's election was not a revolt ; it was a. pushing forward of revolution.

Roosevelt is the political heir of Jef ferson and of Jackson; the heir in the sense that his political strength lies with the multitude and his opposition. rith the "rich, the wise and the good" as the Federalists used to de scribe themselves. It appears altogether probable that the po litical realignment now created may prove as enduring as tite Jefferson-Jackson democracy which lasted with brief nter C hides of loss of power to the election of Lincoln in I860. The name is that of the democratic party; but the new alignment is based not on the democratic tradition but on espousal, of ,xne. newer progressive program xuen runua iu iwu w V Theodore Roosevelt, Lafollette, pere, and Senator Norrjs. The electoral vote and the popular vote as well mark not only the crushing of the republicans but of the party dissi dends within the democratic ranks. Thef ruling party is thus self-purged of elements wfthin it which, might have regained power. This means that? the Roosevelt (revolution may pro ceed unhindered by opposition of republicans and unharrass- .. ed by recalcitrant democrats.!. f-'.) : 1 ' - This overwhelming victory clears both- the political at mosphere and the path .of those In power. It also carries Its ; own dangers; for history shows the value of strong minor ities to set brakes to majority excesses. r ;v .t r J4 " Republicans can have Utile to say in the face of he re sults. Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Farley and the democrats are en- : titled to the most enthusiastic jubilation; for never j has . a political victory been more complete. Washington received . all electoral votes because there was no opposition ; Monroe received all but one, for the 'same reason, the one being with held because, the elector felt that the honor of a unanimous vote. In this election, two only. Maine and Vermont, with A A . 1. Jll!. ! I." true to repu oiican iramuon, Explanations far republican xlefeat are numerous First, the return of better times.' "Prosperity" still remains the po litical guide for the country By it Coolidge and Hoover won ; by lack of It Hoover lost in 1932 ; now Roosevelt wins with it as his aid. Second, the strength of the party In power, with the federal mar hine, augmented this time by the "gentle rain ef checks' on farmers and' unemployed, and by the vast in , crease of the federal establishment. Third, by the weakness of the candidate put up by the republicans. Gov. Landon was ; hopelessly outclassed as a candidate. Putting him up was like putting up a spindling youth against a trained boxer. He was -sot only handicapped as a speaker ; but he lacked the back ground of knowledge and understanding of affairs on a na tional scale; and he, like his party, lacked an integrated con structive ' policy which the country really : needed. This 7 is not to say any other candidate would have none better; but surely none could have; done any worse. ? I These reasons explain the republican defeat; j but the major reason remains, in cur opinion, the tide of social rev olution, against business leadership; which is "held account able for the debacle of 1929. The greatest, liability of the re publicans was the Liberty league, and the association ofjbig business with the republican cause. Roosevelt made hisap peal direct to the people; and the vote is, the measure of the ' :, response. : ' .j--; '; : : !' ' . H-- . "'" : -' r j l'.. f V - . vWhat of the future?; Undoubtedly Mr. Roosevelt will press forward to consolidate his victory. This will surely mean , proposal of constitutional j amendments giving the federal government increased power, or clipping of the power of the supreme court, perhaps both. The election result would indi ' eate that the states would follow his leadership in approving 4 the amendments. If the time element interfered, or further ... i opposition developed, it would not be surprising if Mr. Roose- velt sought a third term In office. : jj : : V ! ' i f 1 With conservative opposition crumpled the prospect Is for a new opposition to form "on the leftfVThe radicals, flush ! ed with victory, will probably seek more. legislative gains -j than the president, (who remains' a reformer of capitalism) will be willing to concede.

The pattern of bus iness may -change sharply, in the next quadrennium. Bus iness may count itself-Iucky if more radical treatment than Rooseveltism does not befall it.' - ' A heavy responsibility now rests on Mr.' Roosevelt. The people have put power in his hands, and virtually erased op position. His is the responsibility, and the opportunity - ; i " i, rht the moment of a Roman general s triumph, a slave was accustomed to ride on his er and utter the phrase: Et mortal).

Governor Landon's is an important I sense . thai less conservative, iir. tendon's meth- s ion is. from the point of view of soand fiscal practice. : less desir able, Mr. Landon 's plan ' is , less consistent with a balanced budget and lowered general taxation:. T In the system now on the books, half the cost of old age pensions la borne by the beneficiaries. Be ginning the first of January, one per cent j (rising to three) of, the pay of workers Is deducted by the employers and Is turned Into the government treasury fund tor old-j dollar for dollar, la paid by the employer. - , . But Governor Laadon'a. plan doea not get the funds from the worker' and employer.. He ; said, in his speech last Friday Bight: "The f republican party ' proposes that the fund for security payments . . . aha 11 be obtained from a direct and specific tax widely distributed." In his Mil waukee speech : September 1 26th, devoted' wholly to social security. Mr. Landon said that'every mem ber of the great body of our cit izens Is (to be) conscious of bis share of the cost'. ; viil't I " " Between these two methods of providing fundi, there Is a direct contradiction of principle, jn the existing plan, each person pays the cost, of his own i pension. In the I republican plan, the whole body of citizens pays ue coil si oeiween those methods clearly the ; exist ing plan is the more conservative, the more consistent with sound finance, the more consistent with simple arithmetic. J X i We can readUy understand Mr. Roosevelt's Indignation when the republicans raised this issue. We can Imagine Mr; Roosevelt say ing to himself: "Here the sew deal did! a- thoroughly conservative thing and I am attacked for it by the conservative party. It would be human; in man as much moved by emotion as, Mr. Roosevelt la, if he should; to him self: 6 'Very ! welL ? well .- change the- method of payment; we won't require the worker to pay direct for his own insurance; , well just pay it out of general taxation and make- the "income tax payers foot the Mli." k ;; ! ; 1 - -I ! : i' i I 1 -f Turn now to the objections to the existing plan. The fundamen tal one Is the same that is basic in the wnoie new deal. u tne fact that the worker fa not per mitted to decide whether he wants government insurance or not. He la not given the chance to hare gorernment insurance, he Is com pelled to have It. He mast take it and act aa if he thought It good, he must pay for It and like It. The objection, to the ; new deal plan Is the compulsion, the require ment that eVeryi worker shall pay tor old age pensions whether he wants to ot not: the requirement that every worker ahall see one cent (rising to three) oat ef every dollar taken out of his pay en velope by the arbitrary action ot the government. , The new deal plan . refuses to admit that an worker may prefer to de his own saringv and Ve able to do ft. It refuses to admit that the worker baa av right to his pay. to an of It; and has a right -to save as Irmneh of it an he wishes, , or none of It If he wants, and te spend aU ot It If be chooses for whatever he 'cares to buy.
