1t is a very generally accepted
theory that presidential election is
a drawback and hinderance 10 busi-
ness Just why it should be, to any
great degree, is not easy to determine
AS matter of fact, the president is
not potent factor in shaping the al-
fairs of this country, especially in
times of peace. If the country has
war on its hands the constitution
gives the president some eXtraordi-
nary powers in emergencies, and he
is the nominal head of the army and
navy at ali times. In the matter Of
legislation which is really the thing
that has the closest touch to business
affairs the president has some I'M
huence, often very little, and a veto
power, which may be set aside. OF
course it is possible that a change
from one political party to the other
in the election of president brings
with it change in the political
make up of the House Of Represen-
taiives, but this doe not always oc.

publican, SO that Legislation hostile
to business interests, as they exist at
present, would be difficult, if not nm
possible. The fact of the matter is
that all tins talk about the presi-
dental election affecting business is
founded more on shadow than sub
stance. Financial interests are so
very sensitive to changes that they
are frightened and covering at the
prospect Of a change, which may
never occur, and which if Il did,
perhaps might not be at all detri
The business theory OF
