(Secretary of the Nduy In the Wilson Cabinet)
Democrats Win House i'm November They WIN Elect President Two
Years Later Glance at History Shows Every Time Democrats Have
Carried House Since 1874 They Have WON Presidency Succeed
ing Election with Solitary Exception of Time Harrison Broke Rule

proval Of the Grant administra-
ton. . -... | "
The Republicans then had plain
sailing again because Democratic
stupidity caused the convention
to fail to nominate Tilden in 1880.
PENDULUM SWUNG BACK.
The pendulum swung back in
1882 when the Democrats won the
House Of representatives. What
did that victory presage? Read
, the election returns Of 1884 md
you will see that It indicated the
election of Grover Cleveland which
took place In 1884.
In 1890 there was what Ia
known as a political revolution.
The Republican victory in 1888
was completely overturned and
by an unprecedented majority
the Democrats carried the House.
1t was then. that Uncle Joe Can
non was swept out and William
Jennings Bryan was elected. That
1890 victory insured the election
of Cleveland In 1892.
Does history repeat itself? The
Democrats then wandered in the
wilderness until the 1910 elcc-
ton when the House OF Repre-
sentatives became almost as strong
ly Democratic as In 1890, the cleo
ton prior to Clevelands second
election. Republicans were 30 scare
that independent papers discussed
whether the Republican party could
recover. In 1912 the logical event
followed and Mr.. Wilson was elect
ed by carrying nearly all the elec-
toral votes, President Taft carry
ing only Utah and Vermont. And
then plenty Of people preached
the funeral of the Republican
party and discussed what would be
the future contestant Of the Demo
cratic party. Some thought II
would be the Bull Moose and others
thought a new party would be
born. How little they knew!
DECISIVE FIGHT IN 1914.
The big fight and the real
contest for the presidency was
not conducted in 1916. 1t was in
the Congressional election Of
1914. BY greatly reduced
majority, 1t is true, but by a
good working majority, the
Democrats carried the House in
1914. The Wilson victory of
1915 followed. 1t was a close
The Washington times., 1922-06-04

shave. but not as close q shave
as that Cleveland had when his
election rested upon 1000 voters
in the State Of New York.
The Republicans did not carry
the presidency in 1890. That was
simply . ratification. They won
the House OF Representatives and
obtained control OF the Senate by
securing the vote OF Newberry
from Michigan. Observe: do
not say they controlled the Sen.
ate by the election of New
berry. I do not say. as many
United States Senators have as
serted, that the seat in Michigan
was bought. merely point
out that but for getting the vote
from Michigan the Republicans
could not have organized the
Senate, could not have controlled
the Foreign Affairs Committee
against the League OF Nations.
and q different story might have
been told Of Americas participa-
ton In stabilizing and under
girding the world.
WHAT HISTORY TEACHES.
What does political history teach
from 1874 to 1914, inclusive2
The answer is that during this
period the only time the Democrats
carried the House Of Representa-
lives and failed 10 elect the Presi-
dent ut tho following election was
In 1886 when Harrison was elected
, In 1883.
This record shows how impor.
tant 1t is for the Democrats to
carry the House Of Representa-
tives In November II they wish to
make practically certain the next
President Of the United States will
be q Democrat. Likewise, II shows
why the Republicans will make
their hardest fight in November to
prevent the certain loss Of the
Presidency In 1924.
There are exceptions TO all rules.
The gerrymander of Congressional
districts in such States as Mis-
souri,. Ohio, New York and others
by the legislatures last year will
give the Republicans an advantage
in 1922 which they VIII not possess
