Will Establish Test

One of the important problems at
the State convention in Chicago on
February ! aud 8 will be the cstab-
lishment OF standard by which can
didates for states attorney can be
judged. Something of this kind is
necessary 10 make it possible for the
voters to be certain that the states
attorney for their county will actually
do what is possible under the law to
uphold prohibition. In the legislative
campaign there will be less difficulty
about Identifying candidates who are
actually dry. The test will be whether
or not they can be relied upon TO sup
port the legislative program of the
Anti i-Saloon League. VIII they prose
cute the repeal OF the Illinois prohib-
ton act and will they favor additional
legislation necessary for the effective
enforcement OF the Eighteenth Amend
ment?

Voters Must be Aroused

In the legislative field sentiment
overwhelmingly iavors enforcement
laws but there are two grca; dangers
to be met in the campaign. One IS
that the voters will not realize the i'm
portance Of the enforcement issue and
therefore may permit heir votes TO be
influenced on some other relatively un-
important matter. The other great
danger is that there will be too many
dry candidates in the field and tha, the
dry voters will scatter their woes in
stead OF concentrating them effectively
for the right candidates. Ways and
means to overcome these dangers will
be given serious consideration at the
Anti-Saloon League State Convention
1t is certain that the legislative cam
paign will be close, hard fight ard
that well-advised, aggressive CAM
paign must be made by the dry forces
10 save the Illinois prohibition act anil
secure further enforcement leg sla-
ton.

One of the speakers added to the
program since the last number OF the
American Issue is Judge Frank P.
Sadler of Chicago. His topic will be
Extracting the Bunk From the Beer
and Wine Argument" Judge Sadler
has served in the state senate and has
been on the firing line against booze,
in politics and out, for many years.
The American Issue predicts that
when he is through exposing the fall

be something less than one-half of one

Rules Against Jaywalking.

The jaywalker may be slated for

regular crossing and makes diagonal
cuts from one side Of the street to the

The Police Department OF New York
will ask the municipal council for the
right 10 control pedestrian traffic as II
now exercises control over vehicle
traffic. The police commissioner says
that arrests and fines for jaywalkers
ought TO reduce the number OF acci.

large contribution to street accidents
in Washington. In the narrow mean.

British and u. S. Elections.

To the student OF politics the fact
that a presidential election in the
United States and 4 general election
in Great Britain are about to occur al.
most simultaneously affords unique
occasion for comparison and deduc-
ton. On October 20 British voters will
choose anew all members Of the House
Of Commons, a choice which Will de-
termine who Is TO be the next prime
minister. On November American
voters will choose anew all members
Of the House Of Representatives, one.
third Of the membership OF the Senate
and the next President.
AS one considers the parallel in.
voived It should be borne in mind that
although British voters exercise direct
control over but one chamber in Par
lament. the political significance of a
general election in Great Britain Is at
least as important as that Of an Amer.
sovereignty under the system Of minis
terial responsibility and as a result Of
the lack Of effective. balance wheels
either in the upper chamber Of Parlia-
ment or In a constitution interpret ed
by a judicial BODY, is largely concen.
trated In the House OF Commons. The
House Of Lords has. in effect, lost all
save the power Of temporary iegisia-
tive obstruction. There is no body
comparable to the United States Su-
preme Court In Great Britain, and as
result the House Of Commons alone
assumes responsibility for its Iegisla-
tive functions.
Bearing this in mind, X is interest
ing and significant to note that the
elections il both Great Britain and
the United States are TO be determined
on a three party. basis. Broadly
speaking, their Conservatives may be
likened to our Republicans. their Lib
erals to our Democrats. their Labor
ties to our La Toilette Wheeler indie
pendents. The possibility that ma
jority may not accrue to either presi-
dental candidate here. and that the
House OF Representatives will be or
ganized without any single group in
control, becomes. in the light Of their
last experience, a probability in Great
Britain. so far as their corresponding
elections of a new House Of Commons
are concerned.
In England the problem involved in
the matter Of functioning without a
party majority Is solved by the e1pe-
dent Of the establishment Of tempo
rary coalition between two Of the
three parties-a union maintained
only SO long as is deemed ex,edient
by the respective party leaders. In
England, however, 1t is deemed not i'm
probable that as a result Of this cleo
ton one Of the three parties will dis
integrate, it's strength being merged
into the two stronger. 1t is held that
the Liberals would be the ones to go.
to the obvious mechanical advantage
Of the two-party. system.
In the United States with its writ
ten Constitution there is less hexi.
bility than in England to facilitate the
avoidance OF q three party deadlock
by compromise devices, so far at least
as election Of President by the House
of Representatives is concerned.
In any event the course of the Brit
ish elections, taken with our own,
should enable those who anticipate the
establishment Of permanent third
party in the United States to draw
some pertinent inferences.
