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."
