A NOTABLE DEPARTURE FROM
PRECEDENT.

The success of the Republican ma.
tional ticket means the Smashing OF
certain precedents and the breaking of
a heretofore inyariable rule. For the
first time in our political history the
people have returned to power the
party that held Office during panic
and serious business depression. In
doing 30 the voters have displayed
common sense and discrimination
Those superior" critics of Republican
government who fear popular judg.
ment and indulge In cheap phrases
about the "unreasoning masses" will
do well to ponder the situation.
A review of after-panic politics and
elections fund In the able financial
columns of the New York Evening
Post shows that here. as well as In
Great Britain, no party has ever be-
fore escaped defeat under such cir
cumstances as we have Just lived
through.
There was a panic in 1925, when
Adams was president. He had been
chosen by small popular majority
over Clay. In 1928 Jackson swept the
country, his plurality being over 139.
600. In 1887 there was another panic
and three years later Harrison was
elected by plurality Of 100000 over
Van Buren,, who had received piu-
rality OF over $4,000.
In 1856 Buchanan received what was
than the remarkable plurality Of 497s
0o0,. but the panic Of 1857 followed.
plurality 489.495.
The panic OF 1873 wiped out the
| Grant plurality Of 1000 and gave Til
den In 1876 a popular plurality over
Hayes of 250.000.
Cleveland was elected In 1892 with
a plurality OF 100000, but the panic
OF the following year contributed great
ly to the Mckinley plurality OF 602.-
555 In 1896.
| Indeed. It has become a maxim here
and elsewhere that panics and hard
times are fatal to the party In power.
fatal to Republican success this year.
Taft was elected In spite OF 1t. as was
a Republican house. Whyi
Because the voters understood that
the party in power was not responsible
for the panic. and knew that 1t had
done its utmost to restore confidence; (;
because the gradual recovery has al
layed much discomfort. and because
the people felt that the return of pros
perity would be surer under Taft than
under Bryan.
The breaking OF line OF precedents
is a phenomenon that win deeply In
terest financial and commercial cir
cles as well as thoughtful students oi
politics.-RecordHe

A SAFE AND SANE FOURTH.

The Illinois state federation passed
a resolution that it would work for a
safe and sane Fourth of July" and
that every effort would be made to
stop unnecessary noises at all times
Now a society has been formed In
Chicago that has for its avowed OBJ
ject the establishing OF sentiment in
the community against the present day
Fourth of July with all its dangerous
fireworks and hideous noises. 1t is
only within the last few years that
Fourth of July has been celebrated
with SO any attendant accidents, and
it is felt that the country can be just
as patriotic as 1t used to be with this
element removed.
