Success In the oGing

n REPRESENTATIVE ROUSE, chairman
IN of tho Democratic National Congress
slonai Committee, i'll announcing the prog
ress of organization for conducting the COM
ing campaign to wrest Congress from the
control OF the Republican party. sounds
strong note Of optimism for Democratic sue
cess. lie says that the people throughout
the country are dissatisfied with the present
administration and are especially displeased
with Congress because there has been a
complete failure in redeeming the promises
of relief that were made during the 1920
campaign
Early in January National Chairman
Cordill Hall voiced similar optimism, and at
the recent Jackson Day banquet at Dayton
James NJ. Cox defeated candidate for the
presidency, sounded clarion call TO the
Democrats to rally to the party standard and
make sure the victory that is TO be theirs for
the aggressive effort. All of these party
spokesman predicate the Democratic oppor-
tunity upon the failure of the party in pow
er to mako good its election promises. None
OF them set forth definite program of con-
structire Democratic purpose to strengthen
confidence in their appeal to the electorate
TO reverse its decision OF two years ago
and return Democratic Congress in the
coming electlonS. true, EI-Canuldate COX
said the party stood right where 1t did on
the day Of the election and advised re-
newal OF the campaign in support Of the old
issues, which would be rank folly. The
very considerable success achieved by the
Washington arms conference and the further
conferences for which 1t has provided has
virtually shelved these old issues for all
time in American political thought.
But the country is woefuly disappointed
at the Republican party's failure 10 even
measurably redeem its ante-election prom
ises. Figuratirely speaking, il has given
the country q stone in answer to its cry for
bread. Instead of Fastening the return to
normally, 1t has retarded it by such ill-con-
ceived legislation as it has placed on the
statute books III that behalf AS Chairman
house very pertinent!y observes, the emer-
gency tariff law, which was passed osteusi-
b!y In the interest of the farmer, has been
an absolute failure, working to his injury
While all of this is true, what better
program has the Democratic party to offer in
the way of constructive legislation, in the
event that the dissatisfied voters OF the
country should contemplate withdrawing
their support from the party which has so
grossly deceived them? 1t is all we'll
enough for those who are in charge of the
party organization to be optimistic but op-
hmism that is based upon nothing more
substantial than record of minority mega
ton in congressional effort does not con-
sttute very inspiring appeal for votes.
