Former Representative James
Strong of Kansas, who now is
working at the HOLC, was on
the sidelines.
Senator William E. Borah, Of
Idaho, by insisting on the
formation Of a new political
party makes one of his first con-
structive steps.
The veteran Progressive has
attacked more policies of gov
ernment than has almost any
other man in the Senate.
Now he comes forth with the
demand for a third and new
national political party in reply
to the old line Republican
statement that Charles D. Hilles
and his crowd will swing to the
right consistently.
Senator Borah, in attacking
the HilleS' stand. knoUS that
there is a definite trend on the
part of young Republicans to
get awGy from the old con-
SerUGtiUe lines of the G. o. P.
Since Henry p. Fletcher, chair
man of the Republican national
committee, permitted his Or
ganiZatiOn to go d oyn to defeat
on November 6 by maintaining
a grasp on old Republican
tactics, the more liberal group
has been chatting at the politi-
cal bit.
They ask for and even de-
mand change in the policies
of the Republican party and
await a new leader.
BY his declaration, Senator
Borah puts himself in line
to secure a strong following.

Illinois.
Although Byrns is not max
ing a concentrated effort to put
himself across, his friends are
working night and day to secure
the necessary votes.
AS majority leader Of the
House Byrns eased himself into
a position of favor at the White
House.
His views and personal poll
cies were submerged in a desire
to follow the dictates of the
Executive.
Consequently, President Roose-
knows that if ByrnS becomes
Speaker he will not cause
trouble.
He UiI not tell the White
House 1Uh1t to do but Dlll be

the program.
Personally, he is strong
enough to secure the necessary
tollOWing to put bills across
or thro1D them out it they are
not in keeping 1Uith the Admin
iStrdtion program.
The minority will be definitely
kept under the thumb of Mr..
Byrns if he is elected to the
SpeakerShip.
And that is the type of man
that the White House wants.

And by 1886, politicians may
find that they have to contend
with a decidedly strong third
party under his leadership.
Demands for a third party
have been numerous in recent
years but they have been more
or less ineffective.
At this time, however, with
BOrah in the lead, it is almost
certain that the third party
movement will make definite
headway.

for another volume in the
Theodorian vein. The author
of this new opus is a gentle
man by the name of Huey
Pierce Long, born in Winfield,
La, on August 80, of the year
of grace 1893, and nom
graduate of the law schools of
Oklahoma University and the
Tulane ditto.
His exact status at the
present moment is not so easy
to define. Let us merely men,
ton among his many accom-
plishments that he instituted
the paved road program for his
native State and gave the chill
dren of that ancient French
colony the benefit of free text
books and a very wide degree
of that literacy, which since
time immemorial has been held
the true bulWark of a perfect
form of democracy.
This far Mr.. Long has rarely
appeared before the public in
the role of an author, combining
himself almost exclusively to a
very specific and special form
of public speaking, which is ex-
tremely successful in stirring up
the masses. But one of these
days a bright publisher will ask
the Senator governor for a book
in which he will be expected to
explain his exact theories Of
government, and can think of
no more fitting title for that
masterpiece than alone in the
United States"

In Bad Condition
Cuba Is in terrible economic
condition. Cuba blames US for her
condition whether we did it or
not. For the most part there is
no stable government there as yet
that has settled the demands of
all the parties. The United States
has not shown favor to any party,
because Cuba does not want our
intervention in this affair. Wheth-
err She wants it or not we have
placed ships around the island for
an emergency. We are there to
protect the interests of American
citizens. and we are not there as
an aggressor, but by our rights

We are hoping that everything
will be peacefully settled, but we

and political conditions might
bring forth. Seemingly at times
| things have been settled and a
crisis has come. We are unim-

we are unable to secure that

and we have not any grounds to

that we are a democracy and we
are supposed to be able to con-
troll our city, state and national

elect men who fail to serve US in
our moments of necessity, the
