B—4 NDAY CAMPAIGN SLUEANS[ ARE BEING SOUGHT Both Parties Searching for Gatzh Phrases to Aid in Victory. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. With candidates in the field, plat- forms adopted, their organizations per- fected and battle lines generally drawn, but one major necessity faces both the Republican and Democratic campaign managers. They require slogans. They are scratching their heads for words or phrases that will dramatize the issues Wwhich the two parties respectively re- gard paramount and best designed to capture the imagination of the coun- try between now and November and the people’s votes on election day. Broadly, depression and prohibition are the outstanding issues around which the 1932 campaign rages. It was chief- | 1y the cause of the celebrated three R's __Rum, Romanism and Rebellion—that a Democratic Governor of New York was elected President of the United States 48 years ago. It is a slogan compre- hending three R’s which some Demo- crats are now advocating as a winning battle cry this year— Roosevelt, Re- covery and Repeal” It takes in the candidate and the twin issues of de- pression and prohibition from the Democratic standpoint. Before long the country may be familiarized with the alliterative phrase. Another Demo- cratic suggestion for pillorying the de- pression _indictment which the donkey intends hanging on the elephant is a paraphrase of the old Jacksonian_de- mand to “turn the rascals out.” It is Pproposed that the Democrats go to the country in 1932 calling upon the Na- tion to “turn the failures out.” Lincolnian Theory. The Republicans are going to cru- gade for Herbert Hoover's re-election on the Lincolnian theory that this is no time to “swap horses in mid-stream.” They are likely to give that ancient aphorism & more up-to-date reading by asking the national electorate to be mindful of “safety first—keep Hoover The coining of a victorious G. O. P. slogan is the special responsibility of former Senator Henry J. Allen of Kansas, publicity director of the Re- publican campaign, and of George ‘Akerson, in charge of publicity in the East. President Hoover may sound the elephant's paramount snort when he delivers his speech of acceptance Au- gust 11. i Behind their harmonious battle lines the Democrats are sorely perturbed as to whether the better tactics are to hammer the Republicans on depression or fight for victory under the flag of prohibition repeal. Gov. Roosevelt at Chicago on July 2 specifically declared that economics—the restoration of pros- perity—is “the main issue” Eastern | Democratic leaders do not share this | view. Combating of depression is, of course, of vital importance for the in- dustrial East. But men like Senator | Walsh of Massachusetts, who led the | fight for repeal in the Chicago conven- tion, are convinced that it Gov. Roose- | velt is going to overcome his acknowl- | edged weakness in the Northeastern | section of the country, he must put Tepeal out in front and keep it there. An indication of what repeal is worth | for the Demoerats in the Northern At- | lantic Seaboard States is the decision of Mrs. Charles H. Sabin’s powerful women'’s anti-prohibition organization to support Roosevelt and Garner, though many of Mrs. Sabin’s cohorts, like her- self, are Republicans. Feast on Garner. The G. O. P. thinks that manna has | fallen to it from the political heavens | in the “radicalism” of John N. Garner, They ardently hope that the Democratic candidate for Vice President will keep “pouring it on as he was besought to do by his frenzied fellow Texans last week. The Republican strategy is to depict Mr. Garner as tincturing the whole Democratic ticket with the same sort of “Bryanism” as Mark Hanna so astutely exploited for William McKin- ley's benefit in the 1896 campaign. G. O. P. orators and publicity will not let the voters forget that the fates might decree a Garner presidency, and | appropriate stress will be laid on that possibility when the Speaker’s “radical- ism” is under fire on the hustings this Summer and Fall. Reduced to bedrock, it is already an open gecret that the 1932 presidential contest is going to resolve itself in the| last analysis into the question of how bad times are as election day ap-| proaches, and to what extent voters will | finally hold the Hoover administration Tesponsible for them. The President's; political managers are under no illu-| sions that at the present moment the inclination to “make a change” is deep- seated and widespread. As of today, in other words, the country seems in mood to swap horses. A commonly encoun- tered argument is that things couldn’t be much worse under a Democratic administration and might be a lot bet- i ter, 50 that & spirit of readiness to try h & new deal is omnipresent. ‘; (‘.ge Wet End to Democrats. The Republicans_have always been willing to let the Democrats take the wetter end ‘of the prohibition argu- ment this vear. Mr. Hoover himself has long been credited with the per- sonal belief that despite the undeniable increase in wet sentiment everywhere, the dry cause is still far from lost, and that on such a show-down as is now presented to voters, it will be found still 1o be a very powerful cause. Some ink- ling of the exact “reaction” of Presi- dent Hoover on this score is confidently expected in his acceptance speech. With the women, the churches and drys in both parties as oprosed to repeal today as ever they were, Republican political leaders are by no means willing to con- cede that in going whole-hog for ob- literation of the eighteenth amendment the Democratic -party has played the winning trick. As to depression, politicians will tell you that what will count most on elec- tion day are things like the price of hogs, a2, wheat and corn, the quotations for stocks and bonds, the state of the banks, and whether unemployment is increasing or decreasing. Since time immemorial, the American voter's sen- timents have been swayed by his pocket nerve. If economic conditions are rub- bing that nerve in the right direction, the voter habitually is for “letting well! enough alone” and against “rocking the | boat.” The G. O. P. is counting heav- ily on the arrival of such conditions not too far ahead of November 8. Con- versely, Democratic leaders confide that anything looking like an upturn in the | depression situation 90 days hence ‘would deal them a serious blow. (Copyright, 1932.) PILOTS IN D. C.

Early in his service he explored | large desert areas of Arizona, Lower | California and Sonora, in Mexico, ex-, tensively. In 1900 he traversed 300 miles of the old Yuma Trail from Mexi- | co to the Colorado River.

His love for the heroic needs only a cause—something to live for and to_ fight for. We call him indifferent. If he is indifferent, | the fault is ours. “‘Churchianity’ does mnot appeal to the youth of today. But youth re- sponds to Christianity as strongly as ever. ‘The principles of Christianity | are simple. They mainly consist in talking straight. seeing and thinking straight, and living straight. 1In his| heart, youth tends toward all those | things. | “One of our main problems” said Dr. Hanson, “is to get a bit of color into youth’s daily existence, to imbue scmehow the commonplace with an air of adventure and romance. We never | use good sense in regard to youth. One | reason is that, as the years pass, we forget youth’s viewpoint. “Life,” explained Dr. Hanson, “can almost be divided into three periods. | The first is the period of credulity, | when we believe everything. The sec- | ond is the period of skepticism, when we believe nothing. The last is the | period of sane faith, When we are open- minded, see things in an intelligent and reasonable light, and weigh them calm- Iy at their proper value. That third | period always is ahead of youth, down the road of time. “We educators have our own farm problem.” said Dr. Hanson. “A farmer knows that land must be cleared and soil properly prepared. cannot expect a crop. And a farmer plants seed intelligently. He knows, | for example, that he cannot plant buci wheat and expect to reap oats. But we don't always use sense in our plant- ing.” “Do you mean” Dr. Hanson was asked, “that our present system of edu- cation and our handling of youth leave & lot of room for improvement?” Reap What Is Sown. “Certainly,” he answered. “The fun- damental idea of education has nothing complicated about it. What you put| into the boy, you get out of the man. | You reap what you sow.” | “If.” said Dr. Hanson, “you do not | give the boy the proper ideas and ideals during his formative vears, you have nobody but yourself to blame if he has Otherwise, he {other ideas when he grows up. Youth | is not so hard to handle. It demands | y that you be honest and fair. | ne can detect hypocrisy or injustice more quickly than youth.” | Dr. Hanson doesn't entirely subscribe | to the theory that youth today is more mature than youth a few decades ago, although he admits that present eco- | nomic conditions tend to make young | men more serious and more conscious | of & certain responsibility. When he | was asked in which direction he thought | youth was going, he said: “Forward, of course. It is in the ad- vancing ranks of youth that bright hope for the future lies.” (Copyright. 1932, by the Nor! Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)
