‘SAYSA.P. OBSERVER Price Says 1936 Election Drive Has Failed as Dramatic Whatever October may have, in store, it is coming to be generally ad- mitted that as a dramatic spectacle the | & campaign of 1996 has failed conspic- uously, thus far, to come up to ex- Perhaps the advance notices prom- ised too much, Perhaps the curtain- raiser of intense activity preceding the June conventions made anti-cli- max inevitable, Perhaps the conven- tions themselves imparted too high a piteh to the performance, what with all of the oratory about an “epochal struggle” and a “campaign of the century.’ ‘The two presidential nominees themselves may have helped unduly to build up an anticipation of pros- pective thrills, Governor Landon’s celebrated telegram to Cleveland and President Roosevelt's Philadelphia announcement of a “rendezvous with destiny” had the ring of high drama. They were accepted by most of the country as authentic prophecy of what was to come. Three months have passed since the conventions. Election day is just around the corner. Yet there has been not even a clear-cut agreement as,to the issues, and nothing like a} jolt debate between the candidates. No bombshells have awakened the echoes. As the curtain goes up on the final act, many of the cash customers are grumbling. They are wondering when the play is wore ip bosib: Oldtimers Defined Dispute This situation is traceable in large part to subordination of the de- bate over the constitution, which at first promised to develop a “burning issue,” but later was shouldered into the wings. That alone, however, does not explain the present state of the campaign. On almost all of the other issues, as well, there has been a failure to define the question in terms that both sides could accept, and so come to straight-out dispute. Something of that kind always has been necessary in the past to stir popular excitement to its maximu! In the classic instance of the 06 cam- paign, for instance, there was direct and incisive disagreement. The ques- tion was whether the country should adopt bi-metalism,. The Democrats said flatly, Yes, The Republicans said flatly, No. So the show went on with fury and color. x“ * * ‘Liberty’ Is Issue In 1936 the country has had, on high authority, at least a dozen differ- ent definitions of the “paramount is- sue.” Many political speeches which have been: labeled as replies to other Political’ speeches have been no re- plies at all, but merely restatements of the\question in other terms, or at- tacks on the opposition from an en- tirely new angle. 3 Is it any wonder that much of the + public is apathetic, or inquiring what- the plot really is about? To point out this fact is by. no means to imply that there is no fun- damental issue in 1936. Both sides, and a large part of the public, seem to sense that such an is- sue does exist: but the failure thus far to translate it into a concrete proposition, understandable by every- one, has led inevitably to confusion and questioning. It is.a further illustration of the complexity of the case that when they are pinned down to it, and asked tm state exactly for what they are battling, both sides reply in identic pbrase: “For the preservation of lib- erty.” The difference is that Mr. Landon means liberty from what he describes as @ meddling government at Wash- ington, and Mr. Roosevelt means lib- erty from the domination of what he calls “the economic royalists.” But how is the average voter go- ing to work himself into a high de- gree of hysteria over a paramount issue which has to be stated with parentheses within parentheses, and accompanied by a diagram?
