self during a period OF adversely
than during a period OF success.
Its first and most essential task
is to discover or to invent some
specific meaning for republican
ism and associate with that mean
ing a definite program of do
nestle and foreign policy.
During the campaign the repub-
lican leaders allowed, President
Wilson to attach in the popular
mind democracy with progressiv-
ism and republication with con-
servatism. Are they willing to al
low this lineup to stand?
If SO they will do we'll to scru-
tinize the intellectual and moral
foundation of current American
conservatism and consider what
kind of an appeal such party can
make to the American electorate,
and what kind of a solution 1t has
to offer for the critical problems
of the day.
If not, how far are they prepar-
ed to carry progressivism and how
can they re-establish themselves
in the popular mind as a progress
sive party?
Can they do 1t by accepting. Mr..
Roosevelt's leadership and by per-
hitting him to frame their pyo-
gram for them?
Such are the more obvious
questions which will have to be
asked and answered by the repub-
licans in the near future. In its
immediate practical aspect the
problem becomes one Of seeking
or rejecting Mr.. Roosevelt's con-
tinued cooperation. If they re-
ject it, they are for the time being
thrown back on the repudiated re-
publican tradition, which has cor
rupted their recent campaign. III

have to swallow the bitter pill Of

litical bankruptcy.

conditions ceased to have any as
sured meaning, that ii degenerat-
ed into an incongrous medley of
progressive and tory tendencies
but with toryism in the saddle,
that 1t became the cover under
which a group of malign anti-na-
tional interests could attack the
very substance of our national life
all these drawbacks were not
allowed to count.
The republicans did not in their
own opinion need to earn a vic
tory by spending on their party
program and organization any OF
the suppositious political ability
and leadership, any Of the genius
for efficiency, or any OF the
higher constructive nationalism
which they claimed for themselves
and denied to their opponents.
All they had to do was to NOM
mate candidate who was not in
volved in the quarrel of 1912, ac-
cuse Mr.. Wilson of cowardice, In
efficiency, and a lack of convic-
ton in the conduct of their party
business, and leave the rest conf
IDENTIFY to the resentments and
prejudices of the American elect
crate.
BY the use of these tactics they
came near to success, but they
paid for it by bunting the moral
edge of republicanism.
After a campaign of this kind
success would have been the
worst disaster which could have
befallen the republicans.
They had done nothing to pre-
pare themselves for its exercise.
Its responsibility would have
brought to the surface the pro-
found divergence of interest and
conviction, the irreconcilability of
outlook and temper, the utter lack
of intellectual honesty and moral
integrity which lay concealed be-
hind the hard surface of the con-
temporary official republicanism.

The republicans need particu-
larly to prepare for the future
rather than bank on the past.
Their tactics during the cam
paign were dictated by a suppressed
ed false view of the relation Of
the two parties to the task of gov
erning the country. They have
considered themselves to be the
national party. ordained to rule
by their superiority In ability and
by the existence Of a favorable
popular presumption.
They had been beaten in 1912
because they. had allowed them
selves to be divided in the face of

the party under the magic name

Each OF the two major political
parties should feel chastened and
subdued rather than elated and
complacent at the results OF the
election.
The democratic candidate has
won, but his triumph is expressive
of confidence In Mr.. Wilson rather
than In the democratic party. He
ran ahead of his associates on the
ticket. Just as Mr.. Hughes ran be-
hind his associates.
Republicanism as a tradition Is
proved to be a little stronger than
democracy as tradition. but not
strong enough to overcome the dis
advantages OF the ADLER and more
progressive democratic leadership.
Manifestly neither party can as
sumo the existence of any popular
presumption in its favor. Both of
them must during the next few
years build less upon the past and
more for the future.

Success will not encourage a
reversion to type, q relapse to q
dead partisan tradition, as 1t would
have done in the case of the re-
publicans.
II will oblige them to resume
a work of reorganization and prep
aration which has been well started
but which still remains a plant Of
tender growth. Every circum-
stance connected with the election
combines to give to the work Of
reorganization increasing author
ity and momentum. =
Mr.. Wilson's skillful and imagi-3
native leadership has really been
|creating a new party, composed
not altogether of progressive in
gradients but still deriving its
chief strength from those native
American communities which are
most interested in the problems Of
domestic reconstruction.
He is emancipated from any
obligation to the most dubious
elements in the old democracy be-
cause the balefu1 democratic ma
chimes of Indiana, Illinois and
New York failed to carry their
own states.
His prestige with his party and,
the nation is enormously enhanc-
ed by the scope and nature Of his
victory. In every respect his
hands are freer than they were
four years ago, and capable of
seizing and welding more power
full weapons.
Imposing, however, as is the
opportunity which Mr.. Wilson has
made for himself. the difficulties
in his path are still more impos-
ing. An American party which
wants to provide structure for
the democracy of today, analogous
to the structure which the feder-
alfsts provided for the semi
democracy of their day, must be
prepared to deal honestly If not
adequately with three critical
problems, all of which have been
either ignored or shirked by the
national parties of the past.
1t must be prepared to emanci-
pate the administrative depart
ments of the government from
petty distracting political inter-
ference and give to expert admin
lsu%:o the place to which it is
entitled among the indispensable
agencies of a democratic social
policy.
1t must be prepared to shed the
newer-worldly provincialism of
American foreign policy and to
promote the participation of the
United States In the burdens and
risks of a working international
Organization.
Finally 1t must recognize the
existence Of R6elass of wage-earn-
ers which under the prevailing
economics and legal system suf-
fers from more or less exploita-
ton, and for whom special pro-
vision must be made in the reor-
ganization of American society.
Any party which undertakes to
govern the American nation must
attempt to deal with them. Pos
sibly the Wilson democracy will
I be broken by the attempt, but It
will certainly be broken IL the at
tempt is avoided.
1t is peculiarly Mr.. Wilson's
business, after the astonishing en-
dorsement which the American
people have conferred upon his
leadership, to take care that the
attempt is made sincerely and In
telllgently-to take care above all
that in so far as partisan democ-
racy fails in the attempt the PEN
atty of the failure is paid by the
party rather than by the nation
