BREAK UP OF OLD PARTY LINES
EXPECTED TO FOLLOW ELECTION

Gratis is not being received with good grace.
A section OF the labor vote will follow him,
some lifelong republican labor votes will
stick to the old party but larger group
of labor will go to the independent tickets.
Railroad labor is disappointed over its
failure to put through the Plumb plan for
control of the railroads by the operatives
and despairing of getting either of the old
parties to sponsor it. Increased wages and
the improvement of morale, consequent upon
the railroads going back to private manage
ment serve to keep the men occupied with
their duties now, but the countrywide trav-
eler who keeps in touch with the men is
aware of the undercurrent of dissatisfaction.
The dominating factor OF this campaign
is demand for change. Many of those
who utter it probably do not have clear ideas
of what they expect. They are like the rest
less fellow who always wanted to be some
where where he amt" Old politicians who
have been through similar experiences in
the past recognize the signs and foresee the
inevitable consequence, if history repeats.
What can new administration do to sat-
isfy the yearning upon which demand for
a change was based? is asked. Will not
there be the same disappointment which the
past has registered in similar circumstances.
and further agitation, until new lines
formed, new policies enunciated?
Whichever party wins this election,
thoughtful politicians in many quarters pre-
dict that its troubles will have just COM
menced So much is demanded, SO little can
be actually performed by the victorious ad-
ministration that dissatisfaction is bound to
result it is predicted.

With the world war rapidly dimming in
perspective, reconstruction in this country
has not gotten in full swing. The new ad-
ministration will be held responsible for set
ting it a-going, the politicians declare, and
will be called to account for failure of re-
construction to measure up to demands.
In the meantime, in all sections. poll
ticians foresee the leaven of discomfort with
the old parties working. What will the
future bring out of it all, politieallyi
