Chicago Record: The prophecy Of i'm
pending ruin should be retired from SER
vice as a campaign argument. It has
been noted that the Republican or the
Democratic orator who asserts at one
election that his party alone can save the
nation from dire catastrophe during the
next four years is always on hand four
years later with the same old threat. The
nation, strange to say. has survived
meantime. but is in no less need of sal
walton from some impending danger
than it was at the preceding national
election.
