SYRACUSE, y. Y. October 4.-F'aii-
ure of the great body of plain people,
who are the driving force behind
modern government, to understand
thoroughly the duties of citizenship,
might prove fatal to freedom and
justice. was the warning sounded by
E,lihu Root, former Secretary of State
in an address here yesterday at ex-
crciseS in connection with the formal
opening of the school OF citizenship
and public affairs at Syracuse Uni
versity
Mr. Root maintained that public
opinion is the most powerful force in
molding that nature of laws. and a
government that fails to understand
the trend of public opinion fails in
it's purpose.
'.All the time" he said every day,
today. all over the country, contro-
versies are going on about things
wrong which might have been stop
ped without anv question at all a
few years ago if the cause of those
wrong consequences had been recog-
nized and stopped.
People who cast votes are begin
ming to govern not so much because
they cast the votes, as because they
make up popular opinion, which is
the controlling power of modern de-
mocracy, and this great body of plain
people. assuming the power, become
subject to the duty of understanding
the questions of government. If they
undertake to exercise the power with
out standing up to the duty, the con-
sequences will be disastrous, and if
the lesson is not learned from dis
aster, it will be fatal to freedom and
Justice"

.BROOKHART ACTION
Declares Senator Has BoIted
Party Under Inspiration at
La Toilette Group.
Ry the Associated'Press

u! lHe Associated tFess.
DES MONIES. Iowa, October (
Senator Smith w. Brookhart yester-
day threw down the gauntlet to the
National and State Republican or
ganization with an attack on rec
ords of President Coolidge and
Charles G.. Dawes, the Republican,
nominee for President ana Vice Pres
ident, and in doing so made re-
pudiation and bolt from the Repub-
lican party, according to the report
of the Iowa Republican central COM
mittee.
The committees report declared
that the Senator had by his public
utterances made d self-impeIled bolt
from the party.
This bolt, the report said. was the
result of a conspiracy to defeat the
right of the people to elect a Presi-
dent at the polls, thereby throwing
the election into Congress.
1T is our belief" the report con
tinued, that this action on the part
of Senator Brookhart has been in
spired by the heads of the La Fol
lette party for the malicious purpose
of attempting to turn the attention
of the voters from the real issues Of
the campaign"
While the committee was still de-
batting its course Senator BrookhaEt
was delivering his address at En-
metSburg, in which he attacked the
President and explained the points
of issue between President Coolidge
and himself. He departed from his
set speech only to include a state
ment he made public earlier in the
day, in which he again called upon
the Republican national committee
to ask for the resignation of Nj
nawes.
