NOV. IH. IÖ20 WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF? I k] •• s *YW Just prior to the final obsequies of the old whig party it was com posed of many factions just as the republican party of today is. From the foundation of our gov ernment down l*> the early 6<»e slav ery was the gn at bone of conten tion iu political parties. The whig» of the North were generally opposed to slavery, while the whigs of the South favored it and many of them, particularly the leaders in the South, were slave owners. The slave power which at that time held a majority in congress, was jealous of any legislation in congress which did not hold the in terests of slavery as its central pur pose, As a result northern and southern whigs drifted apart until the northern element organized the republican paity. This was in IN66, when John C. Fremont was made the republican standard bearer. There were other questions, par ticularly the tariff, upon which the whig», north and south, differed. With alt the power he possessed the great Henry Clay endeavored to substitute the tariff for the slavery question. This he could not do and continued agitation of the slave question resulted in the annihilation of the whig party, which had elected several presidents. In IHI',0 there were four political parlies in the field, two. the repub lican and Bouglax democratic parties In the north, and two, the constitu tional union anti the Breckenridge parties of the south. The republican party absorbed most of the old whigs in the north and the constitutional union the whig« in the south. Thu whig partv was-composed of factions who held opinions so antagonistic that they were unfusable. The republican party of today is in much the same condition. The pro league and the anti league ele ments will not fuse and the pro gressive or Roosevelt element can not lie welded to the old guard or reactionary element. They will not stay mixed, nnd during the next four years are bound to grow fur ther apart rather than closer. A vast majority of the people of the United States are progressive in their political thought. They are forward looking. They cannot nor will not return to Mr. Harding's condition of "normalcy’* or condi- Hone which prevailed before the war. A large number of democrats voted for Mr. Harding, indicating that people are willing tn cross parly lines to vote for principle. Repub licans showed thia same quality when when they voted for Wilson in 1916. So we can safely conclude that the American people are not wedded to party name. A new party, er evea Ki, Aflat, the democratic party, will win largely from the republican party it the reactionary crowd yonlinuee to control that party during Mr. Harding's administration. A vast majority of the American people view the political party a» a means to accomplish a desired end. When the party fails to do thia, to accomplish the desired purpose, then the independent voter is ready to unite with that party which harmon izes the nearest with his personal political vis ws. And this spirit of independent voting seems to be growing. Men and women think politically and decide for themselves, and this thinking crowd is big enough to control the election. This is thè main pur pose of thè old guard republicans in sreuring con trol of thè party. This is thè pure and «émpie purpoa» of a prolective lariff, tu gel back lo "normalcy."
