Hi, Daddy Everywhere along the line of march When that happens, the party can do one of just two things; it can change its direction, or it can pass out of existence. It looks as if the Republican party today were facing such a situation. To be sure, there have been land- Slide elections in this country before. From 1920 through 1928, the Demo- crats suffered a series of crushing re- verses—to revive and return in tri- umph in 1932, But what has hap- pened to the Grand Old Party is | something else again, The p-ople have been through four very hard years. These years not 00/only brought much suffering and hardship to many people; they made @ great many people profoundly dis- satisfied with the past and highly distrustful of the future. The effects, by now, are obvious. The people are no longer content to be wooed in the old phrases, nor do | they fear proposals which are new and untried. They want somebody, somehow, to do something that will make a repetition of the recent dis- aster impossible, There we have the explanation of the current landslide. Most of the Republican leaders let themselves ap- pear in the position of those who offer nothing but criticism.

Marching off to war in 1917 the vast majority were bright- eyed, pink-cheeked youngsters, in- terested in the world and in the war and anxious to find out what it was all about. ‘They were grimmer when they re- turned, many of them, but still young. ‘Their views were those of young men, tempered by their recent experiences. ‘They still had their way to make in| the world. The job of carving out a niche for themselves lay before them. In the 16 years since then many have done that. Of the state execu- tive officials elected this year, three are war veterans. The new member of the state supreme court served in the war. Others have risen and are rising in the professions, arts, com- merce and industry, but over and fbove these changes is that made ob- vious by the shouts of “Hi, Daddy” from the curbstones on Armistice Day. The war veteran has become the father of the nation’s youngsters. Nebraska Sets Example for Other States One of the most significant points of the recent election was an event which has drawn relatively little no- tice—the adoption by Nebraska voters of Senator George W. Norris's plan for @ one-chamber state legislature. It is significant because it is the first real step taken by an American state to bring long-needed reform into the machinery of state govern- ment. In any democracy, the machinery f government is bound to be more or less cumbersome. No legislative body designed to reflect the people's will can function without some lost motion. But it is hard to think of vival of the Republican party is so greatly needed. There is a place for an intelligent ‘and aggressive conservative party—a party to speak for those who feel that we may go too fast in our journey toward a new social order and who do not feel that the depression has made all of our old institutions worthless. The Republican party can perform that function; but only if it heeds the warning of the election, ad- Justs itself-to the temper of the people and stops trying to swim directly’ against the current.

Leaderless Reorganization Aiba oy — Times) of voluntary post-mortem began to be held by Republican spokesmen directly after Tuesday’s election. They do not agree in ex- Plaining the causes of death, but nearly all of them coincide in argu- ing ee paly cannot hope for @ new life unless it is promptly re- organized. This is the verdict of Chairman Fletcher of the National Republican committee, and his ad- vice to the Republicans is that they should admit that they were reorganizing. The same “blessed word” fell from the lips of Senator Borah in Chicago yesterday. He de- clared that the Republican party must “reorganize or die.” Under what, leaders should the work be done? The Idaho Senator had only vague suggestions, being explicit on the one Point: “I shall not assume leader- ship.” In this there is a certain re- assurance.

You'll begin to read about the strike threat in December, when production picks up, and the situation probably will be red-hot by February, when the code expires again and production will be about at its peak.

But it’s worth remembering that Hillman is the strongest, shrewdest, and most practical labor leader in the business.

But the inquiry and its findings will be a handy weapon for him when the auto strike scare comes. to Previous Puzzle Hi E egeye 535, z Bef 5 | 58 =] ance 5 He af al 5 E. ef ge fe 8 i loctor friends say that But the men of who know their stuff all doctors agree about anything.

That is not, of course, the kind of re-organization which national- minded men like Chairman Fletcher and Senator Borah mean. They are Plainly thinking of plans and policies more than of individuals. Let there be something like a consensus of opin- jon animating and reviving party members throughout the country, and the question of leadership may be left to take care of itself later. One obvious reason for the Repub- lican rout on Tuesday was that the party candidates did not think alike Ot speak alike. They advanced views, often contradictory, as if on the theory that every one was at liberty to do what seemed right in his own eyes. But there must be an approxi- mation to unifying principles and Purposes before the Republicans can face the next presidential election with even the glimmer of hope. That Process of reconstruction may go on during the next session of congress, and througn various means of edu- cating amd solidifying sentiment in the citles and states. If by such means and others a standard can be raised, @ man will be found to lift it full high before the rank and file. The first labors of the reorganizers must be directed toward clarifying the doctrines of the party.

Hereafter they will have a small and compact legislative body. Not only will it be able to function more efficiently than the two-chamber group; it will be possi- ble for the voter to keep in touch ‘with it, to know who is who in it, to interest himself directly in its actions and get the kind of representation in it that he deserves. ‘We have passed the time in which we could afford to put up with in- efficiency and unresponsiveness in a law-making body. The reform which Nebraska has begun might very prof- itably be examined with great care by the voters in other states, There’s Need Now for Party of ive Opposition A political party is the instrument through which citizens impose thejr ‘will on their government.
