Martial Music A New York City orchestra leader has appealed to other baton-wielders not to play martial music, as a means of staving off another great war. The musician believes that war-like strains arouse civilized man’s worst instincts and stir peace-loving citizens to frenzy. There is probably something in what he says. Many Amer- jeans who enlisted in the World war, or contributed to war funds, may have been under the influence of patriotic strains heard everywhere in those days. Banning martial music during troublous times, therefore, might aid the cause of neutrality. But if the man’s plea means devitalizing the music of peace-time parades, he will probably meet a storm of objections. For one of the main reasons we all love a parade is its pulse-stirring music. And football fans would frown on dropping the “Fight, team, fight,” song for some less militant air. Forty Engineers When graduation exercises were held at the state agricul- tural college last spring, 40 young men marched up to the rostrum and received diplomas showing that they had com- pleted the course in engineering. Today, according to announcement by the college, each of them is employed. They aren’t big executives yet and there is no immediate prospect that any of them will be building gigantic dams or great bridges within the next year or two, but each has a job and is continuing his learning where the pro- fessors left off. There is considerable of a moral in this piece of news. It shows, first of all, that there are jobs to be had as business and industry revive. In the second place it shows that prospective employers are choosing men with training as well as ability to fill them. Value of Patience Fifty years ago a 7-year-old Alabama girl, who had been deaf and blind from birth, was taken under the protection and guidance of a young teacher from Boston. Helen Keller was the name of the afflicted girl. Beginning by tracing in letters of the alphabet in her pupil’s palm, the young teacher accomplished wonders in the years that followed. Despite an apparently insurmountable handicap, Helen Keller, at 25, was graduated cum laude from college, later to become a famed lecturer and writer. With her illustrious pupil beside her, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, the woman who had helped make this possible, passed away the other day. But the lesson taught by her achievement —that patience and industry can accomplish near-miracles— will be remembered throughout the world for years to come. A Good Slogan This newspaper has long been campaigning for greater safety on the highways. It realizes that every automobile driver is his own master and charged with his own preservation but this has not prevented it from dinning the song of safety into the ears of its readers in season and out of season. It is in the spirit of this crusade, then, that it passes along # rather intriguing slogan which is given prominence in the current edition of the bulletin issued by the Northwest Ship- pers’ Advisory Board. This slogan, referring to the 1,680 deaths at railroad cross- ings last year, admonishes the driver to STOP, LOOK AND LIVE. Who can say it is a bad idea? Certainly not the survivors of the 1,680 who were killed at railroad crossings in 1935. American Achievement The round-the-world trip of Reporter H. R. Ekins gives the American eagle a chance to do a little well-justified screaming. Mr. Ekins went all the way by air; and except for the trip from New York to Frankfort, Germany, he was carried every Inch of the way by American-made airplanes. He went from New York to Germany by dirigible—Ger- man, of course.

R. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) New York, Oct. 29.—New York, with its 47 electoral votes, is the biggest of all the states and when they talk election pluralities in the Empire state they talk in big figures. The popular vote probably will ex- ceed 5,000,000. And Democratic po- Uticians talk just as glibly about af plurality of 1,000,000 in New York City as Republican politiclans speak of a margin of 800,000 or 900,000 up- state. No one imagines that Landon could be elected without carying New York, although it is easily conceivable that Roosevelt might. One interesting shift of political opinion your core respondent notices after a three-week absence from the state. Whereas big shots in both parties previously thought Pennsylvania was more like- ly to go for Roosevelt than New York, ter bet than the Keystone state for the president. As a general statement, it is fair to say that Republican politicians are leaning on the Literary Digest poll, which indicates a Landon victory in New York by somewhere around 500,- 000, and that the Democrats in com- mand of the state campaign pay homage to the comprehensive New York Daily News poll, which indieates a Roosevelt plurality of more than 800,000, The American Institute of Public Opinion gives the state to Roosevelt by a shade. * % % Farmers for Landon Regardless of the size of Roosevelt's | New York City plurality, it can be re- ported that although nearly all purely | rural counties upstate show a mark- ed decline in Roosevelt sentiment since 1932, there is an increase of Roosevelt straw votes wherever up- state counties are importantly indus- trialized. Democrats will take a 2 to 1 licking in communities where farmers pre- dominate heavily, but will hold down Landon’s upstate majority by show- ing strength wherever industrial la- bor is to be found, i Upstate labor, according to most sources, has heretofore usually been Republican. About two-thirds of the state vote is in communities of 7,000 or 8,000 or more, although many communities of up to 10,000 are not necessarily indus- trialized. The New Deal is the only impor- tant issue in New York state and both sides agree that the tremendous- ly increased registration is dug either to protest against or support of it. The gubernatorial fight is an echo of the national conflict and Repub- licans attack the “Little New Deal” of Gov. Herbert Lehman. From excellent sources I get the assertion that the Roosevelt and Lehman vote will run about even, but other reports differ, including those which quote unidentified Tam- many leaders as saying the state ticket will run well behind the na- tional ticket inNew York City. * * Worried by Propaganda At Democratic campaign headquar- ters, one finds profound but unadmit- ted concern over the Republican “pay envelope” propaganda which seeks to make the contributory old age pen- sion plan and its employer-employe assessment an issue against the New Deal. If this propaganda is successful, it may cut into the pro-Roosevelt labor vote, Lehman, who has twice been elect- ed governor by astonishingly large majorities of more than 800,000 and ran this year only under heavy pres- sure from Roosevelt, is opposed by Judge William F. Bleakley of West- chester county, who was picked— whittle down the Democratic vote in the metropolis. The state party platforms model after the national ones and Bleakley attacks government extravagance, protests harassment of business, and generally slams New Deal policies. Lehman stands on a record of sup- port for progressive legislation, in- cluding strict regulation of public utilities plus co-operation with New Deal legislation, state social security bills which, a Republican legislature blocked, and compulsory audit of “milk trust” books in the interests of both farmers and consumers. The New York Evening Post has revealed certain alleged private fi- nancial transactions of Bleakley dur- ing his judicial tenure and this may|? prove important, Some voters upstate will support Lehman the Jew rather than Bleakley the Roman Catholic, | but many Tammany Irishmen in New York City will turn to Bleakley, some because. Lehman once vetoed & badly written bill providing free transportation for parochial school children. se % Both Claim New Voters New York City registration is about 2,900,000 and upstate registration will be somewhere near 3,500,000, The New York City increase is about 560,- 000 and politicians agree that at least las airliners, made in Calfornia, From Manila to San Francisco, he was carried by Martin seaplanes, made in Baltimore. From| tration San Francisco to Los Angeles he rode in a Boeing, made in Seattle. The rest of the trip—from Los Angeles to New York —was made in a Douglas. S A striking example, this, to the skill with which American airplane designers and builders do their work! Convicts’ Work A suggestion for prison reform made by one of the nation’s outstanding prison officials seems to have considerable merit. Sanford Bates, director of the federal bureau of prisons, believes the work of rehabilitating criminals would be aided if convicts were assigned to work for which they were best fitted and which would be of benefit to them. : It seems logical that such a practice would be helpful in reclaiming law-breakers for society.

Roosevelt will cary Virginia by a sub- stantial majority, but there's a first- class revolt brewing here which may result, in two or three years, in cap- turing the state for a new party known as the Jeffersonian Democrats or the transfer of political power to the hands of the Republican party because of the growing split in the Democratic ranks, Had the Jeffersonian Democrats got under way a year ago and obtain- ed the necessary funds for organiza- tion work in every precinct the elec- toral vote of Virginia might have been. decided this time by a much narrower margin and it possibly might have been won by Governor Landon. But, fundamentally, the cleavage between the New Dealers and the traditional Democrats has been con- fined to a relatively small number of persons, though the Jeffersonian De- mocrats have stirred up much more disturbance politically than their nu- merical strength might seem to in- dicate. The significance of these trends, however, does not lie in the present campaign or election alone. It has ® deep-seated meaning for the future. It explains why Senator Carter Glass, the greatest of American statesmen of today, must remain silent, so far as| making speeches for or against the New Deal is concerned, and yet cast his ballot for President Roosevelt. The veteran senator’s position is not at all difficult to understand, and even to agree with, if one has the slightest knowledge of Virginia po- litics. Outside the state many per- sons have criticized Senator Glass for not bolting his party. They who do so do not realize that a bolt this year would have meant the election of @ rubber-stamp senator from Vir- ginia to add to the tools of New Deal manipulation in congress next Jan- wary. Supposing, for instance, that Mr. Glass had announced that he would not support the president in « party sense. What would have happened? Opinions will differ, of course, but the New Deal would have encouraged a really strong candidate in opposi- years and has for a long time the most influential man in Virginia organization politics, has # his hands now. His-wing of is being undermined who has the backing In the governorship extent to which Al has is just a big question Tammany, internally fre illge ibis i i the deliver by a huge plurality. Other pro-Roosevelt factors are the extending there will be a battle between the Byrd forces and the Price faction. The lines are being formed for it now. The New Deal, with its use of patronage and public funds, has the means of winning over some of the local organizers and workers, That's the way party organizations are built up or broken down—with federal or state patronage. To win an election nowadays, espe- cially in a state like Virginia, which has 50 long been a one-party state, it is necessary to have organization. The Republicans have never built an ef- fective organization for the national ticket here because they have not been able to set up a good state or- ganization to wage an opposition fight on state and local issues. More than ever before in America, federal and state political organiza- tions are intertwined. Senator Glass has staunch friends in the Democratic organization who have gone down the ine for him throughout his long career in public life. He cannot now turn his back on his lieutenants and supporters. To do so is to expose them to factional attack and since neither Senator Glass nor Senator Byrd stands in with the New Deal, they do not have available federal favors to build up their own political fences. As a matter of fact, Harry Byrd, as governor of Virginia, made a great Tecord and his popularity with Vir- ginians is undiminished. His fight is purely the kind that any independ- ent or lve would be confront- ed with in trying to beat Tammany in New York state. In fighting the Farley influence in politics in Amer- ica, Sepators Byrd and Glass are to prevent the ultimate Tammanyizing of Virginia. To hold their own organization in- tact they must be regular in a party organization and a party platform in the state which contradicts the New Deal and reasserts true Democratic Incidentally, Mr, Roosevelt, has re- hppa ds ves could have hed for ‘ticking to their guns and keeping the fight inside the Democratic party rather than stray- been | ing outside. Editorial Hg are ne u i “David Lawrence here are chagrined over the action. They regard it as an example of the lengths to which « presidential nom- inee will sometimes go to advance his own political fortunes at the expense of his party. Senator Glass has therefore made no speeches about the presidential contest. He will cast his ballot for the straight Democratic ticket because he owes allegiance to his party in this state and because he believes the name Democrat will come more prominently into the vocabulary of American politics after next election than heretofore. Even if the New Deal is continued in power, the at- tack on its policies from the tradi- tional south will make the Roosevelt supporters of 1936 wish to soft-pedal the phrase “New Deal” in favor of the word “Democrat” as the next two or three years unfold the sharp schism between the New Deal philo- sophy and traditional states’ rights.
