visiting g delegations and
made brief addresses. The
swing around the circle"
was not unknown but it
was most unusual.
The first candidate, we
believe, who ever made a
speaking tour throughout
the country was Stephen A.
Douglas in 1860, and con-
ditions were such that there
was a good reason. We had
reached a crisis, and war
loomed beyond the polls.
Few men in our history
have been so richly equipped
in intellect and genius for
a swing around the circle"
as the Little Giant. He
made no mistakes. A mar
VelouS debaterj accustomed
to speaking in the white
heat of controversy, he could
be trusted to make no slip.
But after Douglas no
other candidate attempted
the speaking crusade until
1884, when Blaine swept
across the country. He, too,
was richly qualified, and,
like Douglas, there was
magic in his personality.
He made no blunder, and
yet he was crucified by a
silly preacher, in a meet
ing in New York, who, ad-
dressing him with the assur-
ance of support, let fall the
fatal words: "Rum, Roman
ism and Rebellion"

Roosevelt Hurried
to Chicago

The change came in 1912
when Roosevelt was seeking
the nomination against Taft.
The fight was intensely bit
ter; the organization was in
possession of the Taft forces
and there was early evidence
of a determination on the
part of the organization to
ride rough shod over the
Rooseveltians. These had the
advantage of having popu-
lar sentiment behind them;
and the name of Roosevelt
was magic.
| have recently read some
unpublished correspondence
leading up to the decision OF
Roosevelt to go to Chicago
and personally assume com
mand of his forces. Some aof
his friends doubted the pro-
priety; all knew that prece-
dent was against it; but all
realized that the only hope OF
checking the progress of the
steam roller was to so dra-
matize the situation that
public opinion might assert
itself and put a fear of the
Lord into the hearts of the
Taft machine.
There were conferences,
exchanges of views, and
finally the advice was sent
Roosevelt to hurry to Chi
cago. He went; and there
was drama; but the organl-
zation composed of cool,
calculating men went for
ward with its work, and
Roosevelt stood literally at
the grave of his hopes.
Since then candidates,
though not all by any means,
have appeared regularly in
the conventions. We believe
not one was present in the
Democratic convention of
1912. Champ Clark was in
Washington with Under
wood; Wilson was in Jer-
sey; Harmon in Cincinnati;
Marshall in Indianapolis.
But Roosevelt made a pre-
cedent that others have felt
free to follow. Even SO we
have never been able to con-
vince ourself of the pro-
priety.
The Washington times., 1932-01-26

THE approach OF the ma
tional conventions of the
two leading parties offers a
wide latitude for speculation
as to the nature of the fights
to be waged and the methods
to be employed.
The first convention was
held in 1882. and for many
years the candidates followed
a common course. Z ere
were no preferential presi-
Dental primaries in any of
the States. The choice of a
candidate was largely with
the political leaders. The
candidates were men with
records requiring little or no
illumination, and they made
very few speeches to advance
their ambitions. Those who
were members of Congress
could gracefully continue
making speeches in the hope
that they would be beneficial,
but, as a rule, the most To-
quaciOus statesman aspiring
to the nomination became
strangely reticent as the con-
vention approached.
The idea of personally at
tending the convention did
not occur to any of the can
didates as exactly proper.
The candidates remained in
their homes, in touch with
their managers in the con-
vention, but no one, aside
from the managers, could
easily get in communication
with the man in seclusion.
All this was changed by
Theodore Roosevelt.
Years before, James A.
Garfield was in the conven-
tion that nominated him, but
he was there as a delegate to
make the nominating speech
for John Sherman. There
came a deadlock, and Gar
fields speech had made a
good impression and the con-
vention turned to him. But
in those days it would have
been thought undignified for
an avowed candidate to ap-
pear personally on the scene.

Will We Go Back
to the Old System?

Blaine paled, hesitated
about a rebuke, hoped the
foolish words would not be
noticed, and said nothing:
and that was the end of
Blaine.
And then another inter-
val, and Bryan swept upon
the scene in 1896 and edu-
Gated the American electo-
rate to expect to see and
hear the nominees in a can
vaSS.
We sometimes wonder
whether the radio may not
get us back to the old sys-
tenn of having the nominees
remain at home and receive
delegations. 1t is not an
easy matter for any man to
speak every day to tumultu-
Gus crowds without endless
repetitionS.
In the days of the front
porch campaigns the nomi-
nee knew in advance what
delegation was coming;
what would be said to that
particular group; and it
was possible to prevent any
Rum, RomaniSm and Re-
belliOn" blunder by insist
ing that the address by the
head of the delegation
should be submitted in ad-
vance to the blue pencil of
the board of strategy.
That was the plan in
Harrison's campaign in
1883, He had u platform
erected in University Park,
Indianapolis, and there he
m a d e short, thoughtful,
statesmanlike sp e ech es-
more for the publication
than the immediate crowd.
These Harrison speeches
were little masterpieces.
Now with the radio the
nominees can reach the en-
tire country with their
voices.
The truth is, also, that
there are few men who can
maintain a high standard
in speech after speech de-
livered without special prep
aratiOn. Only an occa-
sional genius can do that.
But with the radio a speech
can be delivered from manu-
script.
There have been very
few men with miraculous
memories who could deliver
a series of speeches of two
hours length in rapid sue
ceSSion without deviatirg
one word from the text.
Stories are told of Roscoe
Conkling debating a speech
in the afternoon and deliv-
ering it without the change
OF a word at night. But
the most marvellous perform
ance perhaps was that of
Senator Beveridge in 1900
He spoke on six successive
nights in different cities for
two hours on totally differ
ent subjects, and newspaper
men following his manu-
script found that not once
i'll that twelve-hour per
formance did he deViatc one
syllable from the text.

When a married man begins

money it costs to support

that perhaps his wife may have
begun to think wistfully of the

on the alimony he can afford.
In the abstract, a man ad-

he appears to prefer a bird-of-

most cases they have not yet had to ap-

mostly odd job housework. though some

Uncle Sam will extend helping hand

ing from city to city throughout the
land in search Of work, food and shell

Although there is no suggestion Of a
Federal appropriation to meet their
needs. Secretary of Labor Doak. after
a conference with local social workers.
directed the Womans Bureau of the
department. to cooperate with national
relief agencies in thorough survey of
the problem these women present. He
urged that every effort be made to de-
wise plan of relief on national scale
Immediately.
Miss Mary Anderson, chief of the
Labor Departments Woman's Bureau,
will conduct the survey, with the assist
ance of the National Travellers Aid So

tian Association.

stances they have struggled so long to
keep from asking for relief that they
have become physically and mentally
broken when they finally apply. and
then they need intensive treatment.

Many of these women are unem-

prepare them or keep them in practice
for jobs should be furnished More

Only National Movement.
Miss Beatrice Hodgson. assistant di-
rector of the Washington Travellers
Aid, said this is the only movement of
Nationwide scope for dealing with
transient. homeless women.
The problem has become SO acute"
Miss Hodgson added, that New York,
Chicago. Los Angeles San Francisco
and other large cities are being
SVamped with unemployed and home

vision for their care
Il have long worked toward the be
ginning CT a national survey of this
problem" said Miss Anderson, land I
shall be glad to get it started. Home
less women are as great a tax on us
as homeless men. except that. thus far,
little has been heard about the women"
The primary purpose of Secretary
Doak and those sponsoring the move
ment for the national survey will be
to find some means Of caring for the
thousands of homeless women in their
respective communities and to stop the
migrations from city to city.
