The existing regime goes back more strongly entrenched than ever. Mr. Heover will have the advantage of a working majoriy in both Houses of Congress—a fact which, ince much of his most important woyk must be done in collaboration with the Senate, is of the first importance to him. The forces of conserva- tism have had a notable triumph, and the spell of Republican government that began in 1921 with Mr. Harding's promises of ‘“‘normalcy” and serenity” has at east another four years of life it The Buropean tions ‘fought upon seek in vain The dec of Ameri even the total ¢ 531 that comprise the n most him n the history wing to the vote sented that Hi Governor ctoral system ha the are clear no ceeded result, for South is Virg rent fection of nia, and observer, accustomed important grounds for the program or that have thus prevailed to the United States into the They are not to be discovered of polities’ that enliven the Old World eem have departed almost entirely from the American scene. In part that result is inherent in the American political system When upon the issue cf an election there depends not only the appointment of a President a parlia- mentarian but of a whole possee of officials High Court Judges to sub-Postmasters, cau- tion becomes the watchword of the politician and the aim is feed the voter on and com- fortable pabulum The habit has carried excess in this contest, far, indeed, that the titl of Republican and Democrat have prac- [tically to denominate anything except the |rival structures of political machinery Time was when, broadly speaking, it could be said that a Democrat stood for liberty and a Republican for authcrity, but we have witnessed in this election an odd reversal of parts, for it was vernor Smith who was accused of an enthus- m for State regulation of business and Mr. Hoover who championoed non-interference. Time was, tco, when the tariff issue sharply separated parties, but Governor Smith handsomely Swallowed high protection towards the end of his campaign that there was littlé hete to choose etween him and his opponent . To an impartial obs r, indeed, there appeared to be little of principle to divide the candidates that Smith might quite conceivably have acted as the ora- torical star in a campaign to send the silent Hoover to the White House. If, then, in his political Govepnor of New York State scarcely dis- from a progressive Republican, wh his cheerful and engaging personality fa s0 dismally in this contest? The reasons lie out- side politics as we know them. It is safe to as- sume that in a country predominantly and in parts fanatically Protestant his religion lost him many votes. It is probable, too, that just as big business was resolved to continue the prohibition experiment in the interests of better production, the same motive determined the votes of large proportion of the 20,000,000 women, who are not likely to forget the effect cn the domestic budget of the ighteenth Amendment Further, it is' not unlikely that since the White, House has a certain social and spectacular importance the Hoover menage seemed to many more in keep- ing than the South with the ceremonial tradi- tions of the Presidency. Lincoln has been dead some time, and modern America is not more free than othér lands from undue regard for ap- pearances, But above and beyond all these causes of the Democratic catastrophe is the un- doubted complacency with things as they are of a country in the midst of an astonishing ‘era of prosperity.

That a good deal of rather appalling corruption in the matter of oil leases has attended these years of well-being ap- pears to trouble no one. The Ame 1 voter is less concerned that his politicians should be impeccable than that they should ‘‘deliver the goods.” And Mr. Hoover, whose personal record 8, of course, blameless, has a deservedly high reputation for business efficiency of which mod- ern America is. proud. His capacity for organi- zation, by which stricken Europe benefited in the war years, has lately been applied with mark- ed success in the United States Ministry of Com- of Hoover's when more Latin Am- of the Rio President-elect becomes apparent United States invested in is has we | as ments amounted to in 1912, In Cuba, where our investments were sixteen y ago, they have increased sinc time cent,, and in South America gain has been nearly 1,000 per cent.

It is one of the duties of the President —sometimes perfunctorily performed—to super- intend personally the activities of the Ministers he appoints, and it is in the confident belief that Mr. Hoover will in this respect run the country well and maintain its high standard of living that he goes to the White House with general acclaim. The rest of the world may be ured that to the great problems of paci- ion and disarmament which deeply concern it he will bring the same energy, clear sight, and sturdy common sense. —_— Dr. J. H.
