If the Republicans chortle in glec
over elements rising now to hamper
the Democrats, they may live to re-

Some Democrats believe that Ike
publicans may put forth minor new
party figures to divide the vote, then
try to step into power and bear down
on everybody. That was the proce-
dure used by some of the present HI
ropean dictators in gaining power4
But it would be dangerous for the
Republicans to aid in the creation or
a third powerful group. People are
waiting for just sucha group. 1t
would become such a mighty force, 1t
could destroy the Republican and

PLATFORMS NEVER RATE
OF GREAT CONSEQUENCE
BY CHARLES Il. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer


Philadelphia, June 26-At every ma
tional convention there is deal OF
talk concerning the platform of which
ever party chances to be doing the
converting.
In fact, the platform never is of
much consequence.
It's trainers take it seriously, but
no one else does.
The voters vote for candidates; not
on platforms. They don't even read
the platforms. In a general way,
they think they know what the re-
spective nominees stand for, and
that's all.
THAT 1882 PLATFORM
There has been no end of COM
plant that President Roosevelts po-
licy has differed utterly from the
platform he ran on in 1882
But I'll guarantee that not one cleo
tor in 1000 has more than the haziest
idea what was in the Democrats 1882
platform At least that's my fix, and,
as newspaper man, / have it on my
conscience to keep myself better in
formed on such subjects than the
average individual.
I know roughly that the Demo
Gratis promised four years ago to be
economical if they won and that the
government has spent more money
under the Roosevelt administration
than even it spent before.
However, maybe the administration
was as economical as was possible
in the circumstances.
CONVENTION PLEDGES
Anyway, as a citizen I'm concerned
rather with what each presidential
rival will succeed in getting away
with than in platform pledges.
I'm not SO unsophisticated as to as
sumo that the victor, up against"
realities, will be able to do just what
a mob of screeching, irresponsible
delegates has committed him to. I
don't believe that many voters are
SO unsophisticated, either.
In short, my notion is that plat
forms mean no more than the mer-
est modicum, and my guess is that
that is the rank-and-file of the vot-
ers' Judgment f
| think that they assess the men
and theparties, with small regard for
the platforms
PERSONALITIES COUNT
For that mattf Gov. ALT M. Ian
don already has signified that he has
his fingers crossed on important de-
tails of the Republican platform.
Yes, there are clauses the Cleve-
land platform that he refuses to in
dorse. But I'm convinced that the
average voter doesn't understand lust
what they are. If he's a Landon-
lite, he takes Landons word for it. If
he's pro-New Deal. he doesn't investi-

June Is, 1794-Napoleon, who failed
to realize the potentialitieS of the
steamboat and submarine, did recog-
nize the possibilities of the balloon /;
and in the battle of Fleurus, in Bel
GUM, he became the first to use it
in warfare. Capt. J. M. j. Coutelle,
assembled as the worlds first aero OBJ
server to spot" enemy formations
he signalled from the air was a big
factor in the French victory.
Curiouslly, aircraft had to wait an
other half century before it was re-
cognized as necessary "eyes" of arm
les.
June &c, 1S61-Prof Thaddeus Lowe
was formally enrolled in the u. S.
Army as its first aeronautical observ-
err, at $40 day. He had already made
demonstration observation ascen-
sions and obtained information of
value to the Army, and from one of
these he had telegraphed messages
from the air for the first time in his
tory. Lowe flew 800 miles in nine
hours, from Cincinnati across the
heart of the Confederacy to Pea
Ridge S. c., where he managed to es-
cape Confederate marksmen by Civ
ing the Masonic distress signal AS
his balloon neared earth, Prof. Lowe
saw a colOred farmer beating his
mule. Leaning over the edge of the
balloon basket the professor called
down: Stop beating that mule!'
Startled by the voice from on high
the farmer dropped his pillow lines and,
forgetting his mule, disappeared.
jConfederates never had but one
balloon. The envelope made of silk
dresses contributed by patriotic south
ern bellies and sewed together.
