C., Dec. 20. —There is an amazing parallel of ;mames and circumstances be- tween the present political hour and 1912; and some possibility | that the names and circumstances , will continue parallel, or at least ‘continue related. In 1912 William Howard Taft was President and candidate for; re-election. Now his son, Robert! Taft of Ohio, is freshly elected United States Senator and sud-! den! ven Presidential glamor. ’ TASH Champ Clark of Till nois was speaker of the House and a Presidential aspirant who was.defeated for his party’s nom- ¢mation’ by an abrupt last-minute shift..of votes to Weodrow Wil- son. A generation later his son, Senator Bennett Champ Clark, is freshly re-elected and, like Taft, given Presidential glamor. In those days an important left wing liberal was the elder Sena- tor Bob LaFoliette. Now his son, young Bob, has his place in the Senate as an important left wing liberal. Rocseveltian Counterpart In the White House is a Roose~ velt, who, to a certain degree,’ had his counterpart in the earlier. Theodore Roosevelt. The 1938 Roosevelt has just suffered some. thing of a setback in his effort to build around him a solid liberal party. The earlier Roosevelt in 1912 made an even more exciting | effort, geing to the extent to the} the first | quarter found the clubs fighting!

In 1912, it was Kaiser Wilhelm who was looked upon as the disturbing in- fluence, with his demands for a “place in the sun” to be had at the price of rivalry with Britain for ‘naval supremacy, and rivalry with half of Continental Europe for command of the land. Hitler Furnishes Parallel In 1938, Fuehrer Hitler, dicta- tor of a later Germany, is push- ing toward the east, like Wil- helm, and is demanding @ place D. in the sun. He demands return of the colonies which Germany ‘obtained years ago by Kaiser Withelm’s bluff and bhister. It is a great game, this paraliel- ing business, but should not be carried too far, nor should too much be read into it. Wisely or mof; this country is presuming that within the next few years it will have to fight or at least be ready to fight. 857 | -667 | O00 | High - i, Pet. | will, WEST CONCH NINE. winner to take all gate receipts. | teen i Seeeecceceveccecessevene| Rainfall* Yesterday’s Precipitation Normal Precipitation — -05 Ins. *Thin record covers 24-hour period cading at S o'clock thix morning.
