There is a touch OF ingenuity in the
suggestion that the Democratic party
nominate Tor President and Vice
President next year . pair of candi-
dates whose fame Is largely local
whose regulations have been built ON
successes won not in national. but in
municipal politics. When hard
pressed for a winning Presidential
nominee, pick out some good mayor
or eX-mayor That seems to be the
drift Of the new "get-in-power-quick'
recipe offered to Democratic voters.
Nor Is the recipe without substan-
tiai merit The Democratic organiza-
ton was advised not long ago by one
Of lis distinguished leaders To nomi-
nate for President next year some
conservative business man. or OBJ
seure jurist7 But why abandon
beaten paths? Why hunt for candi-
dates IN the byways Of business, or
search the courts through for a Judge
on whom TO thrust a Presidential
nomination? Why not HE to the true

.statesmen-to the one chosen field In
which Democratic leadership can hold

all chaIIengers? Why not draft for
national service the men who fight
Democracy battles i'll our greater
cities-who have converted so many
Of our municipal centers into strong
holds of Democratic faith and Demo
cratic energy2
The Democratic party Is party of
the city rather than Of the country.
and It's guiding spirits might natur-
ally be sought among the disciplined
veterans Of this great municipal train
ing school. The only President the
Democratic party has elected since the
Civil va Lt0t 10 prominence anu

Why, then, should not alert and IN

Why should they not be anxiously
serutinizing the qualifications for ma
tionai leadership of a mavor-that-is,
like Carter Harrison, and a mayor

These are names both historical and
inspiring. They form a conjunction
certainly as imposing and perhaps
destined 10 as great a political future
