What Might Have Been
IT is easy to be wiBe after the event. There are a great many
wiseacres now, who can explain to their o,wn satisfaction
why there was such a landslide last Tuesday.
This paper along with others has its pet explanation. It is
concerned with the character of the Republican campaign.
OUR contention is that an entirely different campaign would
have given London and Knox far greater support. The
keynote of this campaign would have been neither hate, nor
fear of Roosevelt. In fact it would have been granted that,
all in all, the president had done a good job. He would have
been given credit for having saved the country from economic
collapse, in its time of peril, and given the country, many
reforms that were needed, and the purposes of which were
essentially right.
But it would also have been maintained that with ' these
accomplishments the time had come to "stop, look and listen"
to consolidate the advance positions gained, and give the coun
try a genuine breathing spell, from further experimentation
and too hasty advancement.
We admit such a campaign would never have defeated Roose
velt, but it is clear that no campaign would. A Republican vic
tory was simply not in the cards this year.
With the exception of Jim Farley, who in all likelihood,
didn't really believe what he said everyone was wrong in
guessing the result this year. It has been revealed that Presi
dent Roosevelt himself, predicted he would win by 360 electoral
votes ; while his expert election scout Mr. Hurja only gave him
ten more . . they were over 150 electoral votes out of the way.
IITHAT made the popular sweep for the president so over-
whelming we believe was essentially the American sense
of fair play. When the opposition not only refused to grant
anything of benefit had been accomplished during his adminis
tration, but claimed that if he were re-elected, the banks and
insurance companies would not be safe, and the American form
of government would be overturned, a resentment was aroused
among the people as a whole, regardless of party, which
reached a climax about election day. It was this resentment,
that accounted for the extraordinary increase in registration
throughout the country, particularly on the Democratic side.
Former President Hoover
hostility a protest vote against the administration. Poor Mr.
Hoover, was not only wrong as usual, but oxactly 100 wrong.
Not only would a more rational and just attitude toward
President Roosevelt have given
votes, and even in defeat a feeling of greater self-respect, but
would have given what the country needs but now has lost,
a well organized and effective opposition, in the upper and
lower houses of congress.
THIS overwhelming landslide
a good thing. Not only hns the
gress been greatly reduced, but its morale has boon destroyed,
and it will be a long time before a feeling of solf-confidenee,
and a spirit of partisan enterprise, can be restored.
No matter which pnrty is in power, the country needs a
strong party of opposition, as a balance wheel to progress, and
an element constantly devoted
measures and issues.
For the time being this will
the reactionary leadership' of
itself to blame.
Why Not Be Sensible?
"OMng full consideration to all of the Information which
Is available to me at this time, from polla and from personal
reports which have oome to me from representatives of the
national committee In the field, and from state leaders, I
unhesitatingly predict the election of Governor Alfred M.
Landon of Kansas and Colonel Prank Knox of Illinois at the
general election Tuesday.
"I have from time to time predicted that Landon would
carry every state east of the Mississippi river and north of
the line of the Ohio river and the state of West Virginia aa well.
"In addition to these states, he will carry a sufficient num
ber of states west of the Mississippi to total 70 (electoral) votes.
My absolute minimum la 330 votes for the Repuollcsn national
ticket end snythlng In excess of that would In no way be
surprising." Chairman John D. M. Hamilton, New York Tri
bune. Nov. a, 1839.
So speaketh the G. 0. P. national chairman on the eve of
the election that gave his candidate two states, with eight
electoral votes.
W are not blaming Hamilton. They all do it, jnst as all
prize fight managers do it. Had Jim Farley been handling
Governor Landon 's campaign he would no doubt have said
about the same thing.
It is an old army custom in pugilism and politics.
But we wonder if the United States hasn't matured to a
point where such childish and meaningless ballyhoo, hereafter
can be discarded.
1HY not try an experiment in 1010. Eliminate all polls and
straw ballots, all partisan predictions of the result, con
duct a sane, energetic and sensible campaign dovotcd only to
the salient issues on both sides and leave the result to" the
voters, and only the voters on election day.
. Just Tor one election of course. If after such a trial there
should be a great popular demand for straw ballots hither and
yon, and bombastic proclamations of landslides by all the cam
paign managers, no harm would be done.
We could go baek to the war dance, three ring circus type of
foolishness and go on from there.
But we don't believe there would be.

ference to the national debt.
He has done this on the plea of
necessity to end the depression, and
the people of the United States have
accepted this pica of necessity, saying
to him, In effect: "We thlnlwyou have
been right In what you have done.
and we want you to go on with your
program. We believe In you,'
HUT now the depression Is ended.
iU Prosperity Is here again.
President Roosevelt has said so re
peatedly, and every high official of
his government has echoed the state
ment. The business figures confirm
it. Industry is operating at & high
level, and agriculture (except in the
drought-stricken area) Is prosperous.
Happy daya are here again. We
have that from the highest official
authority.
THIS, then, must follow:
If the depression la ended and
prosperity la here again, the necessity
to spend Immensely more than the
government's Income each year In
order to "prime the pump," no longer
exists. The government can reduce
Its expenditures sharply, balance Its
budget and leave to private Industry
the task of carrying prosperity for
ward. Tli at has been offered time
snd again aa the New Deal program.
Indeed, If this program la not fol
lowed, serious troubles, effecting
EVERYBODY must ensue, for govern
ment can not go Indefinitely spend
ing more than they receive without
getting Into trouble any more than
can private Individuals.
Printing press inflation, with all its
terrible evils, Is the Inevitable result
of a national budget that remains
continuously unbalanced.
IT WILL be easy to go on spending.
It will be HARD to stop.
On the side of continued spending
will bo every member of congress who
wants something for his district but
of the federal purse, and every ex
panded activity of government that
depends for Its existence upon con
tinued appropriations.
AGAINST continued spending will
be only the knowledge that at SOME
TIME IN THE FUTURE we must pay
the penalty. The future is a long way
off, and right now we aren't worrying
about It,
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT U freed
from the necessity to campaign
for re-election. He has more power
than any president ever povewd bp
lore perhaps more power than any
single Individual ever VKVueased be

as he choose, without answering tc
anyone. He can go on spending mrrf
than the government receiisw. or he
can balance the burfp-t.
It will be Interesting to see what
he does.

OF MILK I CAN DRINK
Finally, a man who markets a fine
high-grade raw milk milked some Into
a vacuum bottle and rushed it over
the mountain to my playroom one
morning, still warmish and darn good
milk, yet . . .
Some day before I die I'm going to
get another dlpperful of milk au na

day because of the way the old swim

Meanwhile, my notion of a royal
treat Is plenty of plain fresh mlllk, oh

along with It. Not only because I
like milk, but because I consider it

Meat and Meut Extractives
If a man has been advised by his
physician to abstain from meat,
would It be all right for him to eat
soups made with meat stock or con
somme or bouillon? (M. J. R.)
Answer His physician con best ad

la no significant difference between
meat and such meat extractives, ex
