A "Break" for Hoover
WELL at last President Hoover has had a "break". Frank
lin D. Roosevelt is the one candidate he has a chance to
beat. It isn't, in our judgment, a very "fat" chance, for every
thing points to this being a democratic year. But it IS a chance,
and the Republican war horses will be quick to take advantage
of it.
GOVERNOR Roosevelt's chief weakness comes from the fact
that he hails from New York. As a result he must carry
the Tammany burden, or be bitterly fought by the Tammany
machine. The first would mean, the loss.of votes and popularity
outside of Manhattan; the second might mean the loss of New
York state, in the November election.
If Roosevelt runs true to form, he will try to side-step this
issue as he has so many others. He will try to get the rural
and small city vote, by posing as the foe of the Power trust,
the champion of the "forgotten man" he will try to placate
Tammany by the distribution of patronage and giving them a
free hand at the City Hall. '
Such a policy might get by in a party convention, but we
doubt its success with the American people in their present
mood. The American people as a whole are tired of politics
and tired of politicians, a candidate who tries to put over the
old army game this year is going to get in decidedly hot water,
before the campaign ends.
On the other hand, if Governor Roosevelt follows the ex
ample of President Wilson as we hope he will defies Tam
many Hall, and rests his cause upon an appeal to the people
of the country, then he stands to lose the 45 electoral votes from
Now York state, nearly ten percent of the total.
TPHUS at the outset Governor Roosevelt faces a serious dilcm-
ma, an inescapable test of stamina and character. Will
he meet it in a courageous forthright fashion, after the manner
of his illustrious cousin T. R. ; or will he fall back upon the
traditional method of his brnnch of the family, and by trying
to please both factions, please neither t It will be very interest
ing to see.
. e e e
"VBVIOUSLY had Ritchie, or Baker, Byrd or Garner been
the nominee, any serious complications of this sort would
have been avoided, none of them would have been personally
involved in the New York mess in any way. Nor would any
of them have had to fight the prejudice, that exists, out in the
wide open spaces, against any typical New Yorker, particu
larly one as wealthy and aristocratic, as the Governor of New
York state.
'T'HE vice-president hasn't been nominated at this writing,
but we will be greatly surprised, if Garner isn't chosen.
Not only because Garner, with McAdoo were responsible for
Roosevelt's victory and should be rewarded, but because such
a selection fits the Roosevelt political psychology, down to a
gnat's eyebrow.
He has a personally dry candidate on a wringing wet plat
form, now he will want the horney-handed-son-of-toil type, to
balance the Bcion of wealth and social prestige, at the head of
the ticket. Garner is the hard-bitten, rough-diamond, Andrew
Jackson type, Roosevelt is essentially the Alexander Hamilton
Andrew Mellon type. The TWO a perfect combination in the
nominee's lexicon of practical political strategy.
The Same Old Tiling
OO it promises to be Hoover and Curtis against Roosevelt and
Garner. The time-honored battle of votes, that shakes this
country to its emotional foundations every four years, is about
to begin.
During this period nearly everyone is going to be a trifle
crazy. Things are going to be said and done that would never
be done or said, at any other time.
Friendships will be broken, even homes disrupted. With
prohibition as a vital issue, the fnt will be in the fire from the
outset, and on nearly every kitchen stove there will be a keg
of dynamite. Hoover and Curtis will be painted as simps and
imps of Satan by one faction, and saint and saviours of the
country, by the other.
It will be the old, old game, played in this land of the free,
for nearly one hundred and fifty years, only it promises to
be a trifle worse. With poople starving, embattled hosts will
be crying for a drink j with business prostrato, literally millions
of dollars will be thrown away, to settle the difference between
Republican twcedle dum and Dcmooratio tweedle dee.
e e e e
TOR it is perfectly clear to any thinking person NOW
though it won't be dear a few months hence, that as far
as the fundamentals of human life are concerned, whether
Hoover and Curtis, or Roosevelt and Garner enter office on
March 4th next, will make no difference whatever.
If this country is going wet, it is going wet, regardless of
who happens to sit in the White House j if this country is going
to 6tay dry, it is ffoiniT to stay dry, and no President of the
United States can prevent it. If business is 'going to improve
the next four years, it is going to improve regardless of the
party label on tho White House door j if it isn't, then no partisan
continuation or political chango is going to prevent it,
e
IN spite of the cynical prophets and the oalamity howlers, in
the FUNDAMENTALS the moral and material destiny of
the people of this country, lie not in their politicians but in
their OWN hands. As tho two major parties are at present
constituted, the only difference the fall election will make, to
the people as a whole, is the difference between one party label
and another, a difference of serious importance 'ONLY TO
THE OFFICE HOLDERS.
But under the spell of the prevailing political psychosis, few
of us are going to believe it, and so the eraiy snake dance of
political partisanship will go on, and on and on.
Strange Bedfellows
IT was predicted in this column that Roosevelt would be the
nominee. Everything broke in his favor, but the determina
tion of the delegates to avoid a repetition of the McAdoo-Smith
deadlock, was really the deciding factor. It was Roosevelt or
deadlock and the weary delegates CHOSE Roosevelt.
But it was not predicted and nothing came to the present
writer as more of a SURPRISE, than the spectacle of W. G.
McAdoo, throwing California to Franklin, and thus deciding
his nomination.
We happened to be in California during the primary cam
paign, and we saw McAdoo at that time. His opinion regarding
Franklin's QUALIFICATIONS as president of this country,
are so well kn6wn in Southern California, and were so widely
publicized at that time, that we wonder what alibi he will pre
sent when he returns.
Probably none. For there is nothing shorter than the peo
ple's memory when a political campaign is on. Two months
ago McAdoo was fighting Roosevelt with might and main, last
night he nominated him, and tomorrow he will take the stump
in his behalf.

President National Broadcasting Co.
The American people have a bet
ter opportunity this year to acquaint
themselves with the Issues Involved
in a national election, and to act
upon their own conclusions, than
in any previous presidential cam
paign.
During the months preceding the
election, the various candidates will
personally speak to the voters tn
every part of the country.
From their offices and homes,
and from public gatherings, the
candidates wlU send their voices
into millions of homes by radio.
They will lay down their platforms
before the entire electorate of the
nation. They will make their pledges
and argue their points before a vast
audience In an amphitheatre of
three million square miles.
Between now and November 8.
the citizen who wishes to do hia
patriotic duty and cast his ballot
intelligently must necessarily engage
in a great deal of thinking. A flood
of claims and counter-claims on
many complex subjects wlU be put
before him, and he must weigh them
and make his decision. He must
attempt to sift the truth from all
that he hears and reads. He must
analyze each statement, and decide
for himself what Is beat for the
nation.
The difficulty, of course, lies In
the act that the average man Is
not fully conversant with the de

Interest, tn government. If the
public does not express itself at the

attentively to the many excellent

the eminent students of government

CONVENTION HALL, Chi
cago, July 1. The delegates
are about to resume the tug of
war. At one end of the rope
Governor Roosevelt stands
with 682 votes on the last bal
lot taken late this morning,
after an 'all night struggle.
Senator Walsh was eating his
breakfast at the Blackstone
hotel at half past nine after
running the convention all
night. He is past Beventy years
of age, few men of fifty, or
forty could have stood the all
night strain as he did, and
show no signs of fatigue.
On the last ballot Governor
Smith had 190 1-4 votes. He
had had 201 3-4 on the first
ballot.
Governor Roosevelt had
votes from 38 states. Governor
Smith from only ten states. But
he has intense political ingenu
ity at his end of the rope, a
great advantage.
n
The struggle begins, to last all
night, the zct:s column! will tell
you what happened.
Normally, with a great deal more
than a majority of the convention
Governor Roosevelt would be nomi
nated. But he has not two-thirds
of the delegates, and under that twe
thlrds rule, thoroughly undemocra
tic, a minority can rule the conven
tion and dictate the candidate If It
holds out long enough.
Alter the all night session, when
delegates went to bed, to restore
their mental treasures with sleep,
this writer drove to Milwaukee. A
twelve cylinder Pierce Arrow car cov
ered the hundred miles Including
traffic In a little less thsn two hours.
To see Milwaukee, the old Pflster
Hotel, the beautiful lake front and
especially to see a city In which crime
is so thoroughly discouraged as to be
almost unknown, is a pleasant
change from the convention. In Mil
waukee the district attorney makes
his complaint, the trial takes place
and the man Is apt to find himself
on his way 1 to prison the same day.
Twenty-five to thirty years Is the
usual term for banditry, and If a man
Is caught committing a crime with a
loaded revolver on his person, there
Is no allowance for good behavior.
No nonsense of any kind. He STAYS
In Jail from twenty-five to thirty
years. Criminals despise Milwaukee.
-
When, as In the oase of a man
who shot Theodore Roosevelt In a
public meeting In Milwaukee, a crim
inal Is pronounced Insane, he goee
to an asylum Inside the prison walls
and stays there the rest of his life.
And there Is no "lunacy expert" non
sense, In Milwaukee. The Judge ap
points the expert, the report Is al
ways unanimous, for when experts
are not paid there la no difference
of opinion.
You can guess that both Republi
can and Democratic parties declaring
In favor of beer, Is good news In Mil
waukee. The big breweries among
the most famous in the world, are
ready, bottling machinery, big tanks
for storage, all prepared to relieve the
great national thirst.
Irwin Jante. Wisconsin farmer near
Hale's corners, has a three year old
Holsteln cow that has given birth to
four calves at once. Mother and
calves all doing well. That Is looked
upon ss a good omen by all Wiscon
sin, particularly by Milwaukee's skill
ful brewers.
Milwaukee Is actually run for citi
zens that work and pay the taxes,
no Inside clique for whom the tax
payers work year In and year out
There Is no graft in Milwaukee.
"You can't even give a cigar to a
policeman," according to reliable tes
timony. Mayor Hoan elected this spring for
the fifth time with the biggest vote
he erer got, la a socialist. The gov
ernment that the late Victor Berger
gave to Milwaukee still functions
well. Extreme radicals call tt "Victor
Berger's conservatism" becsuse It cle
clares for social changes only In ac
cordance with law, nothing said
about dividing property.
Milwaukee has only had one bank
failure. A little one. Quees what
happened. The banker was tried,
'convicted and will be sentenced next
Thursday. It was shown that he
allowed depositors to put money in
the bank when he knew It was Insol
vent. Telephone rates have been slashed
by the Wisconsin public service com
mission twelve and one-half percent
in one hundred and two towns snd
vlllases. That means a cut of
,1,500,000 In the annual amount paid
by subscribers. i
That applies to local oliarges only,
th. commission having no authority
on calls outside the state. The spirit
of ths late Robert taPollette was not
buried when he died. His sons axe
working as he worked.
Returning from Milwaukee 85 miles
an hour, on wide concrete roads, you
see the house In which Samuel
Insull lived, many acres, gigantic
barns, and farms. Roses grow thick
along his fences. In a big enclosure
a herd of Japanese white deer graze
and browse. The roses will continue
to grow, In spite of Insult's departure
after the loss of his hundred mil
lion dollars. But the deer will not
continue to eat. Somebody will eat
them. Who would believe that the
trouble of a publlo utility would con
trol the destiny of white deer?
You pass through a village on the
outskirts of big Chicago called "Half
Day" because In old days, of the horse
and buggy, It took half a day to get
there from Chicago. It doesn't take
long to get from Half Day now to
this hall where more than one thou
sand men and women, representing
12,000,000 human beings, are trying
to select a man to cure whatever Is
the matter with the country.
And the pathetic thing Is that no
body knows what THE MATTER, is.
not the 123,000.000 that bear the
brunt, not the delegates that will
select the doctor, not the political
White House doctor whoever he may
be, that destiny will select.
This Is an Important p. s. It Is
half past nine by the convention.
McAdoo Is on the platform and will
Boon cast California's vote for Roose

Cause For Jealousy
(By Alice Judson Peale)
Sister'tt birthday had Just passed
and her gift had been & fitted bag.
There had been a party and Bryce,
three years her Junior, had been
Included In the festivities. (
A few days later he" sat down
beside his mother in the living room
and busied himself about nothing
in particular.
"That was a nice bag you gave
sister," he said.
"Yes, wasn't it. It's Just what
she needed."
"It must have been awfully ex
pensive. How much was it, mother?"
She named the price and at once
realized her mistake, for Bryce cried
out, "Why, mother, that must be
four times as much as you paid for
my birthday present. You always
did like sister much better than me,
but that's Just plain unfair I"
Such an exhibition of raw envy
Is not pretty but under certain
circumstances it is entirely natural.
This boy's violent reaction to his
sister's fine gift was the result of
a deep-lying Jealousy.
He knew quite clearly that his
mother had alwaya loved his sister
better than she had loved him. The
matter of the birthday gift simply
offered a concrete Instance.
In this light his rage Is wholly
understandable and the occasion, as
his mother guiltily realized, was not
one for a lecture on the wrongness
of envy but for such reassurance
of affection as she was able to give.
In such Instances it is the parent,
rather than the child, who must
seek to mend .his ways.
Scrupulous fairness about all fav
ors, an effort to develop a greater
sympathy and understanding for the
less-loved child should be the goals
for which the parent should strive
in the future.
