8 LEADERSHIP ISS _ ISBIGPROBLEM OF REPUBLICAN PARTY G. 0. P. Divided Into Four Camps With Little Pros- i pect of Unanimity | By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington) While it is only natural that the floodlights of publicity should center now on the Democrats, and make news of their every activity, no wise student of politics will lose sight en- tirely of what happens during the coming months among the Republi- cans. The Democratic victory was tre- mendous, Its magnitude grows as it is viewed in retrospect, as its impli- cations become plainer. Yet it was not, alter all, unanimous. The oppo- sition was shorn of its prestige and most of its public offices, but both numerically and spiritually, the losses fell far short of annihilation. More than sixteen millions voted with the loser. Some of them unques- tionably were taking only temporary shelter in the Republican party. The number of these, counting both the bolting Democrats and the various leftist factions which could not accept Mr. Roosevelt, never will be known exactly although it must have been considerable. Allowing even six mil- Hons as an outside estimate, more than ten millions would be teft to be counted out-and-out Republicans. That is, indeed, a respectable nu- cleus for a political party. On no ac- count can it be reckoned a negligible force in American public opinion. With effective leadership, its possi-| bilities would be almost unlimited With effective leadership—but that’s the rub. * * * Four Divisions As matters stand today, it would re- quire far more than the space avail- able to survey all of the elements which share in the control and con- duct of the Republican party. Four principal groups, however, are worth special mention: 1, The old guard. Repudiated and discredited in the eyes of many party men, the old guard still is a long way from extinction. In a surprising number of important states, it either controls or strongly influences the state organization, Never having ac- cepted fully either the Hoover leader- ship or the Landon leadership, it un- questionably dreams now of returning glory. 2. The western liberals. Their party influence is less than formerly, since many of their number evidently have withdrawn from the party for good, Those remaining—such fig- ures as Borah, McNary, and Johnson —nevertheless hold a power which cannot be discounted. Incidentally, they constitute the most numerous’ group of surviving Republican office- holders after two Democratic land- slides. 3. The Hoover element. That the only living ex-president still hopes for ® return to party authority is doubted by few in inner political circles. It is no secret that many of his friends— and he built up a far-flung organiza- tion while he was president—accepted the Landon candidacy reluctantly and never completely recognized the Lan- don leadership. 4. The Landon bloc. Spreading its influence from Kansas, it now has titular control of the party machinery nationally—an important considera- tion. It apparently has no intention of letting go in the near future, * * Chance For New Leader Ts it possible to conceive of any one of these various elements providing the sort of leadership the party will need in 1940 if it is to win? In these times, it is hard to imagine any Republican hope of victory under the old guard. Equally, in view of past antagonisms, an effective leader of the Borah type is difficult to en- visage. And if either Mr. Hoover or Mr, Landon emerged as high com- mander of the party four years hence, after all that has happened, it would constitute a reversal of all the lessons of political history. The one aternative is new leader- ship entirely. It would seem that an opportunity seldom equalled in Amer- ican politics is waiting for someone. With better than ten millions of votes to start with, the right sort of force- ful personality might easily build for himself a mighty political empire. Will such a personality appear?

The court said that the Ohio law was different from those of New York and the District of Columbia upon which the U. 8. supreme court ruled adversely recently. Mrs. Agnes B. Dickinson, Columbus attorney, who challenged the consti- tutionality of the Ohio measure, en- acted in 1933, said appeal would be carried to the U. S. supreme court. Judge Florence Allen of the sixth U. 8. circuit court of appeals read the decision which held that the Ohio law was based on “the value of reasonable service.” It said this was distinguishable from the law of New York and the District of Columbia which were based on the necessity for a decent anc healthful living. SEED GRAIN BOUGHT FOR DROUTH AREAS Government Agencies Jointly conduct funeral rites for the celebrat- ed singer. Full military honors will be accorded her. Representatives of the American Legion, Disabled Veterans of the World War, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Gold Star mothers and Purple Heart society participated in the ceremonies.

Nov. 20.—(?)— Gather ‘round all you who thought William Shakespeare, the Notre Dame football star had trouble be- cause of his name and take in some of the tribulations of 56-year-old Oofty Goofty Bowman. The telephone may jingle throughout the day—and night; sedate night clerks at hotels arch their ‘ eyebrows as he registers, bank tellers quickly call confer- ences when he tries to cash a check—but for Oofty Goofty Bow- man there is no surrender. “I pay for the telephone, I need it, and it stays,” he says emphatic- ally. “Your phone call is the 75th today, but I don’t care. The ‘smart’ boys, the inquisitive and all the others who want to find out about my name when they see it in a telephone book call me. I'll tell ‘em all the same thing. By gosh’ its my name, and I'm going to stick by it.” The name is real, he says, and it is pronounced exactly as it is Spelled.

Listed by Mr. Dreystadt among ma- for features in the new program are: 1, Invasion by the LaSalle of the lower medium price field with a car appreciably bigger and more power- ful than 1936, 2. A radical revision in the motor of the LaSalle that increases smooth- ness and accelerative ability. — 8. Better performance for the “60,” lowest priced series with the Cadillac name-plate, which generally was rec- ognized as one of the most agile of last year’s market due to a low weight to power ratio. 4. An entirely new series of Cad- illacs designed to set new marks in size and comfort for cars in the me- dium price ranks. 5. Greater luxury both in appoint- ments and upholstery of the Fleet- woods, Cadillac custom series on the V-8 and V-12 and V-16 chassis: ‘ “These may be considered major advances of the company,” Mr. Drey- stadt declared, “although the cars have been so thoroughly re-engineered and he-designed that a complete de- scription of improvements is impos- sible in a limited report. “For example, we have worked out & new type of motor support that fur- ther eliminates vibration from the body. We have greatly improved the silencing of the engines by a num- ber of mechanical refinements. We have added economy and durability without any sacrifice in acceleration or operating smoothness. “Further than that, the new low prices do not involve any lessening of Cadillac standards of quality or pre- cision workmanship. Increased ef- ficiency in production has made pos- sible a reduction in manufacturing costs and an extraordinary gain in automotive values.” Dont CO HEAD OFF Em ask for MENTHO-MULSION IF IT FAILS TO STOP YOUR COUGH DUE TO COLDS ASK FOR YOUR MONEY BACK 32% OOF Capitol Caf Rate Drug, Inc.
