LETTER &M

After Roosevelt succeeded the
assassinated Mckinley a row be.
tween progressives and conserva-
tives broke out in the Republican
party which was not mended until
after the disastrous split Of 1912
The Democrats had been having
the same sort of a scrap, learning
hard lesson when they ditched
Bryan for the time being and nomi-
mated the Wall Street candidate.
Parker, in 1904.
The terrible 1924 row at Madison
Square Garden, ending after more
than hundred ballots by a compro.
mise, brings us nearer to the pres
ent. That was q case of machine
politicians, vets against drys, Cath.
olics against Protestants and north
against south and west. Only the
desire of most Democratic politi-
clans to win with harmony rather
than lose with discord will avoid q
repetition of that convention at
Houston. Bridges don't make the
chasm shallower.
Congress proved this year that
Republicans and Democrats differ
far more among themselves than
with each other. Not a single
measure in the whole session, if
memory serves right, found the vote
divided on party lines. So if any
thing like party leadership figures
in the coming campaign it will have
had no counte mart in Congress.
