ELECTION REFLECTIONS
In spite of the fact that more than
two weeks have elapsed since the
presidential election, I venture these
passing reflections.
~ Four years ago Hoover carried fier^
1 ty states against his opponent Alfred
Smith who carried eight. On the
eighth of Novehber four years later
Gov. Roosevelt, the Democilatiq, nominee
piled up forty-two states against
the man who had carried forty. It
is observed that Hoover suffered tne
a worst defeat of any president- in a
straight two-party system since
Lincoln defeated McClellan in 18C1.
The man who in 11>28 swept the entire
West and Mid-west secured not a
single electoral vote from these secti6ns
four years later. Only six states
remained in tVi? PonnUinon ?i
ed "against" Mr. Hoover and not
f "for" Mr. Roosevelt. ^
The Fundamental Election Issue
? "* '
?V Whether we agree with this or not
we must admit that the basic issue
;n the election was the depression.
The New York Times observes thai
"hard jtimes' have always affeoted
election results. The "ins" are turned
out and the "outs" are turned in.
The panic of 1837 carried Van Buren
out; the pianic of 1857'had .its effect
as well as the slave issue; the panic of
1873 had telling effect on the House
representation in 1874 and election
of 1876. The crushing defeat of Mr.
Hoover runs :tiue to the form of political
history. Whether please*! or
displeased?with?electioii results" Wt"
must face tfy? sobering fact that tic
economic miracles ^fjaii tot wrought by
a mere change, of administration.
Change isnt, prOgi-P^s, rxpprinllv u-lnm
that change occurs between Scylla anil
Charybdis. The depression .is neither
religioingmor political (in the narrow
sen$/>. It isjfundamentlal[y ec
oiiumic?in , Wtture. "Unfortunately
this is one battle in which all the ad
vum-uig cannot De aone "on tne knees'
It is ^infinitely more important to
know a candidate's economic. pfjilosg^
v, phy than to know his religious or
political affiliations. We are feverish
to know whether a candidate is
labeled Democratic or Republican.
?less concerned to know hi?
views on suob things as, Hariff, Unemplpyment
Insuranfoetv Minimum
wage, regulation of production, Consolidation
.'of Railroads, Commercial
relations with Soviet- Russia and div?
ers problems of. similar "natureThere
is no magic in the events of
November eighth. Recovery will br>
due to the operation of economic kiws
in both National an international affairs.
It is well to observe that cvon if
business should return lo its 1G29
. . ... peak, we will still have five million
unemployed workers in this country.

renowned economist, cannot De^.too

"of our production tedhnique without

technique. "So much wheat
yet we are hungry; so much cotton

babips are starving for it. The means
y* for production have out-run tho means
for consumption.
Tweedle-dee?Tweedle-dum Parties
.^Personally, I worship neither the
i Republican elephant nor the Democratic
donkey. The fundamental difference
between the two major political
parties is the difference between
tweedle-dee land Jtweedle-dum. Both.

"THANKSGIVING"

The" world does not yet understand *
why we celebrate Thanksgiving and (
where the words roi<rinAt<\ fvnm u

such as . Thanksgiving' Day affords,
may never die out. It is said that
some countries have no woul to cor-'
respond with our word 'homo."
Thanksgiving Day. if it were to do
nothing else, would justify itself by
helping to keep that word alive on
our tongue, "Thanksgiving."
