Just now they are hardpressed
in devising methods for the en-
lightenment of potential voters.
II has been said that just as the
multitude needs leaders to in
spire them and to think for them
so leaders need the great mass
of sensible, well-intentioned fol-
lowers to keep them in check.
James Brice. former Ambas-
sador to Great Britain, and a re-
cognized authority on American
history. declared that mo leader.
no party. no legislature. can ever
ruin a State while the great body
of average citizens. the better
educated. and the less educated.
taken together continue to main
tain high level Of public spirit
and practical good sense"
Those who have analyzed the
existing state Of things have re-
ported to the various Washing
ton headquarters that the most
retarding factor is Incidence to
civic duty and Indifference to
public affairs. The apathy Of the
citizen has aroused political lead
ers in various communities Ia
such an extent that they have
formed "get-out-the-vote" clubs
in which party workers are
asked to serve as missionaries.
The question Of the tariff has
cropped up again at time wher
everybody believed that it was
an issue well on its way outside
of politics. II is apparent that
the present Tariff Commission
will be reorganized because ol
the difference Of opinion exist
ing in the Commission. Other
Government departments are
functioning as usual. being. fol
the time. outside the realm oi
politics. Perhaps an exception
may be made in the case of the
War Department, which has be
come involved in a political dis,
cussion as TO the necessity and
ultimate effects Of a National
Defense day. The attitude Of
Governor Bryan in condemninp
the plan Of mobilization has de.
veloped sharp conflicts in various
parts Of the country. 1t is quite
natural that there should be
some speculation as to the pos
sible outcome of Governor
Bryan's stand on the matter. The
fact that John w. Davis. the Pre-
sidential candidate, has concur
red with some Of his running
mates objections. brings the sub
ject directly before the voters.
Official Washington is very
much interested in the notifica-
tion ceremonies which will be
held next week. The views OF
Candidate Coolidge and Candi-
date Davis on current issues will
then be definitely expressed and
they will present their case 10
the country for Judgment. Mean.
while. it is necessary for every,
body concerned to keep the pub
lies attention focused on theil

WASHINGTON LETTER


N~~-$~~--N~~%
say that a third party must have
its nucleus in a separation Of the
two major parties. and it now
resolves itself into the question
as to which campaigner will suf-
fer the heaviest numerical losses
in the popular vote. Republican
leaders have argued lately that
the upward revision, of wheat.
corn and hog prices in the Mid
die West will strengthen their
position and discount many Of
'LaFollette's best arguments for
a change. The Democratic and
Progressive leaders insist that
these eleventh hour changes in
the economic structure are not
at all convincing. However.
there is always a perspective in
politics.
In the discussions of the third
party movement here and in
other cities it has been brought
out that LaFollette hopes to
make a strong showing in the
fall and then build I'M a perma-
nent party on his theory Of
state. A third party movement
sometimes implies that the fol-
lowers DISCARD the other groups
on the ground that their plat
forms represent outworn and
obsolete ideas of political
thought. which is not exactly
true in this case. 1t has been
said that this new movement
would be patterned after the
British labor party in its legis-
lative program but conditions
here and in England are vastly
different and such a plan would
necessarily be modified to insure
its acceptance by any large body
Of voters.
Those who have studied the
political systems say that the i'm
dependent voter has some diff
Guilty in the registry Of his in
tentions under the present bal
loting system. There are four
types of Presidential ballots in
use in as states which even
results in widespread confusion
as the methods prescribed vary.
LaFollette's managers have
hopes of capitalizing on split
tickets but splitting ballot in
wolves risk of error and loss of
votes. 1t is this lack of under
standing which makes the
straight ticket the easiest
method Of voting. and. it it said.
strengthens the two major
parties.
While the campaign has not
yet reached the stage where per-
sonalities are banded about in
political discussions, it is inter
esting to note that all parties are
giving their attention to insur.
ing heavy vote at the fall cleo
tions. In every locality speakers
endeavor TO awaken the citizens
interest in the government and
those who want the highest
office in the gift of the people
