WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. They talk
of a new party. After every election,
the experts always say. In the first
flush of exciting
post-election re
turna, that a
thorough realign
ment of the old
schools Is In or
der. Pour years
ago. the Repub
lican party was
1 .talked Into the
A grave. Eight,
12 and 16 years
ago, the tons of
speculative words
burled both par
ties. Now, the avalanche Is conjuring the
idea that both parties are dead. The
Jtooseveltltea are saying1 that, the
president, encouraged by his re-election,
will go forward with a sweep
ing program. They say that NRA,
AAA and all the other alphabetical
agencies are child's play, as compared
with what he Intends to do.
The best Judgment Is President
Rooscvlt will not disturb any vital
policy. Ho may annoy the disciples
of private and public ultlllty holding
companies, and a few others, but the
self -generative forces of business Im
provement, they say, will override any
specific reforms that he has in mind.
The president's best friends have
been saying the first thing he would
do would be to balance the budget,
not probably this year, but next year,
or In the following years of his term.
They say he could curtail expendi
tures far better than Landon could
and that the ultimate effect of his
policy would be far more compre
hensive than those of bis antagonists.
In fact, his closest friends Insist
that hla policy, while verbally antag
onistic, will be cooperative along the
lines which tho electorate dictated.
Mr. Roosevelt Is not a new party,
but an amazing personality. He has
been able to get and hold the sup
port of many divergent elements,
(conservatives, progressives, radicals,
bankers and Idealists), but he has
not been able to weld them together.
They are held together behind him,
not behind hi party, solely by the
presence and portion of Mr. Roose
