Even in retrospect it staggers the imagination to such an extent that it is difficult to intelligently estimate the reasons for it or to guess at the future. It was obvious from the first that Governor Landon, while fine American, was selected more for his lack of political handicaps than for his political assets. Most of the national figures of the Republican party had either been rejected at the polls in the election catastrophes of 1932 and 1934, and hence were lame ducks, or had voted for substantial parts of the New Deal and hence were in no position to attack it. The G. O. P. was faced with the necessity of choosing some- one who had no record of New Deal support. That was what made Landon’s nomination a foregone conclusion before the convention met. From the very nature of things, as well as because of his personal characteristics, Governor Landon was unable to en- thuse the majority of the pople. He lacked both poise and ap- peal in his initial appearances and while his poise improved as ‘the campaign went along, his appeal evidently was not increased. In agriculture he was faced with either endorsing the Roosevelt program already under way or offering one of his own, He failed to do this in concrete terms. He promised cash bene- fits and the right to unlimited production but failed to say how he would implement these promises. With regard to agricul- § ture he tied himself down to nothing, whereas Roosevelt was committed to the policies already in operation. Farmers evi- dently chose to continue the Roosevelt plan than to buy a pig © in a poke from Landon. In the industrial states, the Republican high’ command forgot that it is the common people who cast the bulk of the vote. It failed signally to appeal to them. A great many workers are favorable to the principles of NRA, with its shorter hours and minimum wages. They ap- x »proved- Roosevelt’s efforts in this direction, failing to see eye _ to eye with the leaders of industry who attacked the feasibility | of such action. This probably was of far greater importance than such things as the Roosevelt administration’s attitude toward union jlabor, for union labor represents only a small part of the { population and the ideals of NRA appealed to the vast major- ity of workers. ; These were fundamental things which could not be changed But the nature of their efforts did intensify the feelings of the work- ' ers on the subject. There is no other explanation for the sweep- fing vote accorded Roosevelt in the industrial centers. One of the issues of the campaign was freedom. Gover- nor Landon said it was freedom for the Amercian system of free enterprise. President Roosevelt said it was freedom for ‘American Democracy to combat the evils of the money inter- ‘ests. The voters espoused the latter theory. Their interpretation of Landon’s plea was that freedom for the American system of free enterprise meant freedom to exploit the people without restraint, as Roosevelt said it was. Bolstering Landon’s campaign to such an extent as to gmake the result a surprise to almost everyone, were heavy con- ‘tributions of campaign money. For purely political purposes, _ controlled from campaign headquarters, the Republicans had ithe biggest war chest. But the administration had the relief money and this proved a boon. Relief was one of the biggest issues of the campaign and ' fits development did Landon no good. Persons on relief feared ' that his promise to reduce the cost of relief meant that he would make reductions at their expense. Some merchants feared what would happen to them if re- lief were summarily reduced and few took any stock in his Promise to cut politics out of relief by turning it back to the states. If the government furnished the money they knew that local politicians would play high, wide and handsome with ft. And few people were anxious to see the states, cities or counties forced to raise any substantial part of the money needed for relief, particularly in the drouth states. ~_ As to the future course of the government, there shouldn't be much doubt. A record-breaking modern majority in the elec- toral college, backed by a majority of 9,000,000 in the popular vote, is clearly a mandate to Mr. Roosevelt to continue and ex- tend the New Deal. By no stretch of the imagination could the returns be interpreted as a brake on either his activities or his nims. It was a full and complete endorsement. § Those who fear and abhor continued governmental experi- ¢ ment may. as well steel themselves for it. All anyone need do _ to forecast the future is to ask himself what he would do were he in Mr. Roosevelt’s place. : 5 Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the nation _ from a long-time standpoint is a question.

The tens of millions who have seen the chief executive in the last few weeks have little conception of the tremendous strain the campaign im- posed on officers of the U. 8. Secret Service, The task of seeing that the presi- dent gets safely there and safely back again is one of the most intricate and important of assignments, and Col. Edward W. Starling’s boys are glad it’s over. That is, over for the campaign. For the responsibility of guarding the life of the president goes right on around the clock, every day of the year. It's @ highly specialized task, in fact, and detailed knowledge of it is reserved for the few. The Secret Service men themselves decline to talk about their wotk, But every habitue of the White House and all who have traveled on presidential trains have at least glimpsed parts of the careful network of planning, timing, checking, and rechecking that engages dozens and sometimes hundreds of persons when the president goes on the road—cam- paigning or on any other occasion. * % . * STARLING GOES AHEAD Colonel Starling, genial and alert chief of the White House Secret Ser- vice, invariably proceeds as the ad- vance guard. Starling, once a railroad detective who attracted attention through the number of bandits and thieves he caught, joined the Secret Service 23 years ago and has been at the White House since the Wilson administra- tion, a friend and guardian of five presidents. Starling plots the course the pres!- dent will take and surveys the terrain at every platform stop. He goes into huddles with police chiefs, instructs ‘ them as to the handling of crowds, the placing of their men, the roping- off of certain areas, and the “spot- Looking at ting” of national”guardsmen in case it is felt advisable to use them, He arranges for stationing uni- formed and plain-clothes men in ho- tels and other buildings which the president is to visit, on roofs and in windows and doorways along the line of march. * % % ATTENDS TO ALL DETAILS He supervises arrangements for platforms and ramps and some times is able to see to it that the president- {al automobile is driven to within a few feet of the stage. He consults with railroad executives and train- men, local politicians, hotel manag- ers, walters, and elevator operators. When the president is to speak in a large stadium or auditorium, the whole structure is searched as if by @ fine-tooth comb. Hours before the presidential party arrives, the building is practically sealed tight, with Sécret Service and police officers on. constant guard. Through the stands usually are scat- tered hundreds of local plain-clothes men, under Secret Service supervi- sion. * % &% RUSSELL WOOD IN CHARGE The presidential party and — train are in the charge+of Russell Wood, first assistant to Starling. At the outset of every trip Wood goes through the entire train and checks up on everyone on board. Only the presidential party, Wood’s men, railroad men, newspapermen, photographers, and radio men travel on the train. About a mile ahead dashes a pilot engine to assure clear tracks, Behind is a dummy train, there to prevent possible collision from the rear, The president's car—it’s always the “Pioneer” or the “Robert Peary’—! at the rear of the train and,24 hours Washington (Copyright, 1936, by David Lawrence) Washington, Nov. 5.—Now that the election results have come in, the next and most important question to be answered is what the effect will be on business in the immediate future. For several weeks businessmen have been considering the alternatives, have been trying: to figure out what the after-effects might be. For the most part, they considered the out- come in three ways. They assumed, first, a Roosevelt victory by a narrow margin; second, a Landon victory by & narrow margin, and third, a Roose- velt victory by a wide margin, which meant a big popular majority rather than a big electoral vote. Taking up each of these possibili- ties, businessmen genuinely feared the last. They thought it might be in- terpreted as encouragment to radical forces and groups which would in- sist upon more and more class legis- lation and greater subsidies. Such @ development was regarded as leading only to inflation and high prices, with unfavorable repercussions some time in the next 18 months even to the point of a serious, runaway price situation. As for the Landon victory—and it was considered possible, if at all, only by a narrow margin—the impression was that the first effects would be unfavorable. This was because of the expected cutting down of government expenditures, perhaps more abruptly than Mr. Landon himself might really intend, but embracing a sort of de- flationary movement. But while the view held was that business would be unsettled for a few weeks or months, the theory accompanying such a dip was that @ more substantial upward @ day there's a secret service opera- tive guarding each entrance. At any stop, however unimportant, one pops out on the rear platform and peers about until the train gets going again. About 15 secret service men are as- signed on each trip. One of their functions is to see that the party keeps moving, as each presidential trip and each incident thereof is tim- ed by the clock and schedules are run off almost on split seconds. The greatest strain comes when the president leaves the train to be driven through crowded streets to a crowd- ed destination. In cities, motorcycle cops usually travel ahead, followed by a pilot car full of local police and Washington operatives which precedes the presidential car. A secret service car invariably follows close behind the president on any automobile drive. * % 8 GUARDS ALWAYS READY Wood stands on the running board of the presidential car, beside the driver, his eyes on the crowd. Sitting in the front seat on the other side of the car is Gus Gennerich, Roosevelt's Personal bodyguard and former New York state trooper, his hand in his coat pocket. Gus always has the car door slight- ly open, ready to jump out in case of emergency. If the procession isn’t going too fast, three or four agents from the car behind will be found walking or trotting along with their heads on the president's car. Gennerich sits directly behind the president when the latter is speaking {and there’s a sprinkling of secret service officers down in front and on the platform. When Roosevelt is at his home in Hyde Park, secret service men are in charge, but they bring in some White House policemen and New York state troopers to help them guard the es- tate. ss * CREW IS “HAND-PICKED” Since the unsuccessful attack on Roosevelt in Florida in 1933—when Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago was killed—the secret service has tighten- ed its precautions a great deal. The White secret service is @ crew hand-picked from a body of officers nreviously carefully selected from smart young men who have established creditable records as in- vestigators. S Starting pay in the service is $2600, although most of the experi- enced men who guard the president carn between $3200 and $4000 » year. movement and a more solid building of business would result later as soon as the government props were grad- ually removed from the economic structure. Likewise, it was believed that long- term financing would open up after @ Landon triumph and might still hesitate under Mr. Roosevelt till his budget plans were disclosed next Jan- uw ary. What most businessmen hoped for, whether they were Landon or Roose- velt supporters, was a narrow margin Tesult for either candidate.

In other words, the elec- tion results were looked upon as pos- sibly forecasting 1938 and that, of course, means an effect on the be- havior of members of congress in Jan- uary next, when the record that will be voted upon by the people in No- vember, 1938, begins to be made. It is no exaggeration to say that even among many who supported the New Deal cause wholeheartedly there was a desire for a more proportionate represpntation of the major parties in congress s0 as to revive the checks and balances of sound government. The ‘congressional results, therefore, will furnish much more of a clue to the attitude that business assumes in| the next few weeks than even the} presidential result. For if America is drifting toward dictatorship, as.claimed by the anti- Roosevelt speakers in the campaign, the question of whether congress will or will not revoke the powers it granted to the chief executive becomes one that the electorate can begin to consider in January, when the true lineup of parties and groups in con- gress begins to be revealed. There has been throughout the campaign an undercurrent of expres- sion amounting to a conviction that @ second Roosevelt administration would be more conservative than the first, though this theory received a bit of a shock in Mr. Roosevelt's speech at Madison Square Garden. It will be possible to deduce from the election results many interpreta- tions, but, uniformly, the fact that the Republicans make gains in con- gress will probably receive the most widespread attention. So far as re-employment is con- cerned, this depends to no small ex- tent on whether the federal govern- ment's fiscal policy takes on a better look, and this will not be known till the revised figures are announced in January in the budget message.

How far will a’ Roosevelt triumph en- courage labor groups to make de- mands for higher wages and shorter hours? Will we have a series of labor disputes, strikes and controversies? There are indications that labor was restrained during the campaign from making demands that would have led to serious disputes only by adminis- tration officials who were persuasive in keeping a sort of truce before elec- tion, Now that the election is over and the maritime unions are begin- ning the struggle anew, there may be ® sort of outbreak of jurisdictional strikes in other fields.
