Let's eonyincingly show up the So

SQUADS, Riuht!

CTEALING a maxim from the Re-
- publican handbook, which sets
forth that successful politics is
achieved only through organization,
Hoosier Democrats have gone ahead
with this work so vigorously that
they are amazing their traditional
enemies.
For years the Republicans have
worked on the theory that a party
is like an army-that it must be
composed of one general, one general
staff, c p a S, lieutenants,
sergeants, and privates-and in so
doing have in the past snatched
victory from what appeared to be
defeat.
The Democrats, on the contrary,
have fostered the idea that every
precinct committeeman is a gen.
eral, and these hundreds of gen
erals have followed hundreds of diff
fering and antagonistic plans for
campaigns, turning almost certain
victory into defeat.
That has given rise, here at least,
to the phrase that the Democrats
win only when they forget to act
like Democrats
This campaign the Democrats
have been fortunate in having for
their candidate a firm believer in
the value of party organization.
Perhaps Franklin D. Roosevelt is
taking a leaf from the Tammany
method of building a close-knit and
well-nigh shatter- proof political
body, but he is taking the lead in
this effort in Indiana, at least.
Roosevelt has written a personal
letter to every one of 1851 precinct
committeeman in the state, asking
for advice as to how to conduct the
campaign and patting them on the
back for their support.
Signing so large a number of let
tiers for Hoosier precinct committee
men is in itself a herculean task.
Then imagine the labor involved in
doing the same for committeeman in
forty-eight states. The letter and
the idea back of it shows the talent
of the consummate politician.
A typical letter contains the fol-
lowing:
Il am told that you have been
honored by your state organization
by your selection as it's local repre-
sentative in your district.
1T always has been my belief
that, while those high in authority
in any political organization get
most of the limelight and applause,
elections are won by the willingness
and ability of those who deal di-
rectly with the voters. Success or
failure of our party in eIecting its
candidates is greatly dependent up
on the loyalty and efficiency of our
county and state committeeman and
women, on whose shoulders rests
the task of getting voters for our
party to the polls.

"TXTHAT HAPPENED IN THE
w MOONEY CASE" by Ernest
Jerome Hopkins, is a complete
resume Of the progress of Amer
ica's most celebrated criminal case.
1t is a book which, by it's forth
right revelation of calculated in
justice, is enough to make your
hair curl.
I won't call the book impartial
who, on either side of the fence,
could write an impartial book about
the Mooney case? But a carefully
reading of the book makes this
much obvious:
Those who defend the verdict in
the Mooney case will have to co
more than call Mr.. Hopkins a
biased writer. They will have to
show that he either has suppressed
part of the truth, or deliberately
falSifed part of it, or both.
For the mere statements of fact
in the book lead inescapably to the
conclusion that Mooney and Billings
are in prison for crime they had
nothing whatever to do with.
Mr.. Hopkins tells the whole mis-
cradle story, which is quite familiar
to most literate Americans by now;
better yet, he gives the background,
and shows how it was possible for
justice to miscarry as it did.
And he makes this conclusion;
That the real tragedy of the case
is not the fact that two men were
wrongfully imprisoned, but the fact
that influential Americans have
held that this doesn't matter, since
the two prisoners are bad citizens
anyway.
All in all, it's an eloquent, we'll
