DIR. Gerald W. Johnson, a native
North Carolinian and a former pro-
fessor of journalism and now an as
sociate editor of the Baltimore Sun,
was yielded space On the editorial
page of the Evening Sun for a Wig
orous dissent to the position of OPP
position to President Roosevelt
which the Sun has taken editorially.
His argument is easily One of the
most forceful which has appeared
in the campaign.
DR.. Johnson said:
II am for Roosevelt.
The Sun has declared that it
cannot support him, and has stated
its reasons. They seem to me
wholly inadequate, because they
omit all reference TO the greatest
service that Roosevelt has rendered
to the country, to wit, the intro
duction of intelligence into the
conduct of the country's affairs.
Il am not against Landon; I am
for Roosevelt.
1.-The governor of Kansas seems
to be a very decent citizen. Doubt
less he is a good administrator.
Certainly he has exhibited a GER
tain appreciation of some things
the Roosevelt administration has
done, and has intimated that he
will continue them if he is elected.
But he has uttered no word that
evidences an understanding of
Roosevelt's great achievement,
which is the establishment of con-
tact between ~statecraft and reality.
II am not for Roosevelt the
man; am for Roosevelt the states
man.
II wouldn't give the traditional
whoop in hades for the famous
smile, the golden voice, the charm
ing manners. If he grinned like a
gargoyle, rasped like a rain crow
and had the manners of a Hoover
chasing veterans out of Washing
ton, I would still be for HMM
fact | am not so sure that I would
MT like him better. All this talk
about his charm gets a little weari-
some.
II am for Roosevelt precisely be-
cause I. like the Sun, believe in a
free, competitive system under
c%apitalistic government governed
by a democratic ally. I believe that
Roosevelt is the great bulwark of
capitalism, conservatism and demo-
cracy.
1.-THE most dreadful failure of
which any form of government can
be guilty is simply to lose touch
with reality. Because of this fail
ure, all imaginable forms of evil
grow. Every empire that has
crashed has come down primarily
because its rulers didn't know
what was going On in the world
and were incapable of learning.
"This was the catastrophe fail
ure of the Harding-C Coolidge
Hoover regime. Have We forgot
ten how Coolidge and his man
Mellon repeatedly assured us that

badly sincere enough; they simply
, didn't know what was going on.
"Then, when the crash came,
they were incapable of learning.
We had to sweat through four
, years of depression under Hoover,
! although every single thing that
Roosevelt has done might just as
we'll have been done years earlier.
The banking system might have
been cleaned up in 1880 or 1881
Just as we'll as in 1888. The pub
lie works program might have been
started earlier. The problem of So
cial security might have been
tackled long ago. Something in
telligent might have been done
about the tariff while Cordell Hull
was still merely a Congressman.
81 say that these things might
have been done, but, in truth, they
could not have been done, because
Washington at that time had not
the brains and the courage eces
sary to do them. The politicians
then in power could not think, or
act, or even feel otherwise than
hat the old traditional political
way.
II am for Roosevelt because he,
alone, demonstrated that he knew
what it was all about.
"Any man not an utter fool
knows that new conditions demand
new methods; but a great many
men who are far from being fools
are not aware that the conditions
are new. With all respect, I am
bound to say that The Sun itself
is guilty of ignoring this factor. 1t
says, Let us restore and preserve
the system which produces in
abundance the wealth with which
we support the fortunate and I'M
fortunate alike
"Nobody can quarrel with that,
but that isn't the question at all.
The very system which produces
wealth has failed calamitously to
distribute wealth. The New Deal,
far from interfering with the sys-
tenn which produces, apparently
has stimulated it. At any rate,
production for the month of July
was 10S per cent of the average
for the same month of 1924-26.
Since it had dropped under the old
regime to about s., it is pretty
clear that the New Deal has not
prevented the resumption of pro-
duction.
"Has it, then, facilitated distri-
button by the violent means of dis
tributing through taxation ? / do
not know. I doubt that anybody
knows as yet. But I do know that
it has brought all its energies to
bear on the problem. And I do
know that non of the old, purely
political-minded regimes had made
any effective effort to solve this
problem. Yet, / am convinced
that this, and not the problem of
production, is the one that we must
solve, Or suffer disruption of our
economic life indefinitely.
II do not believe that this question
is susceptible of solution by any
of the old formulae because it con-
tains some entirely new factors.
Yet, I do not believe that the sort
of politicians who were in power
from 1921 to 1888 are capable of
applying any but the old formulae.
1t isn't a question of honesty. They
are just too set in their way.
Roosevelt has brought into

Only once has the election of a
President been thrown into the
House of Representatives. That
was in 1876, when Samuel J. Tild-
en-, Democrat, of New York, ran
against Rutherford B. Hayes of
Ohio. On the face of the returns,
Mr.. Tilden appeared to be elected,
but charges of fraud in the Demo-
cratic vote in Louisiana were made
and the Republicans contended that
The Democratic electors of Louis
lana had not actually received a
plurality of the popular vote.
The House Of Representatives
appointed an electoral commission
to investigate and advise the lHouse.
The commission reported that the
Democratic electors of Louisiana
had not been properly elected. The
House adopted the report of the
electoral commission and gave the
Presidency to General Hayes.
HOW TIE COULD DEVELOP
A tie vote of presidential electors
is impossible unless Mr.. Lemke or
some other third-party candidate
should receive an odd number of
electoral votes, since the total num-
Der of electors to be chosen Nov
ember ; is 531. In the event of a
tie the House Of Representatives to
be elected on November 3 will have
the say. A shift in rs Congress
SIGNAL Districts from the present
would be necessary to give a
Republican majority.
There will be no change in the
party majority of the Senate, this
year, no matter how the election
goes. Senator's are elected for six
years and there are 81 Democrats
whose terms run for from two to
four years longer, more than a ma
of the sc members of the
Senate.

AUTUMN -. up our way
The most glorious season of the
American year is now approaching.
In no other country is Autumn so
full of appeal to the lover of the
out-of-doors.
I motored over back roads
through the Berkshire hills a week
or so ago and saw the beginning of
Americas most gorgeous spectacle,
the color picture of the forest trees
before the fall of the leaves. No
sharp frost had yet touched them,
but around almost every bend in
the road we encountered a lone
maple which had not waited for
frost, but had changed overnight
from green to brilliant scarlet.
Before October is far advanced,
the New England landscape be-
comes a scene of such color and
beauty as cannot be matched any
where else the world over. Of all
seasons, Autumn is, to my mind,
theb est season of all up our way.
JIMMY on his own
Jimmy dropped in at the home
of one of my friends the other
evening, His face was clean, his hair
was brushed and his clothes were
neat and well-pressed. But his
hands were covered with callouses
and irremovable CRIME.
Jimmy grinned from ear to ear
as he told about his first adventure
at facing life on his own. His faith
er, one of my friends, had been dis
satisfied with Jimmy marks in his
first year in college. "Get out and
get yourself a job and prove that
you We got something in you, be-
fore l spend any more money On
your education" his father told
him.
Jimmy got out. He got a job as
a pipe-fitter's helper at SIS a week
and he loves it. He's got a sur
prise for his father, for he's saved
s. a week out of his wages. "I've
learned what a dollar COSTS" he
said.
Jimmy's going to get somewhere.
PROGRESS the auto
E. R. Thomas, the man who
built the first automobile to travel
around the world under its own
power died the other day at the age
of IS. He was past fifty before
he made his first car.
l first knew Mr.. Thomas around
the turn of the country, when he
took over a small bicycle shop in
Buffalo and began to make motor
cycles. He had a dream, which
Ford, Winton, Chalmers, Haynes,
Apperson Leland and Duryea shar-
ed, of making a practical four
wheeled vehicle to be propelled
by a gasoline engine. The French
built the first ones that worked,
but Thomas made about the best of
the early American gas-buggies.
It's hard to realize, now, that we
haven't always had motor-cars. l
bought a horse and buggy in 1900.
/ didn't think then that automo-
biles would amount to much in my
time!
HAEMOPHILIA transfussions
The most dreadful disease of all
is haemophilia. Its victims are born
with it and seldom live to grow
up, for they can bleed to death
from a pin-pick. Their blood does
not clot. Only males have this af-
Fiction, but they inherit it from
their mothers fathers.

Finds Dam That Saved
Montpelier in Flood
Very Good Example

MONTPELIER, VT, Aug. /
G.N.SO.-At the outset of his New
England floodcontrol survey,
President Roosevelt paused at the
Wrightsville Dam, outside of Mont
pelier, today and hailed it as "a
very excellent illustration of CO.
operation in boondoggling between
State and Federal Government"
This dam, constructed by the
CCC at a cost of $1,200,000, saved
Montpelier from last March's
floods and, according to Army en-
gineers, paid for itself in preven-
tive damage. In the 1927 floods
five lives were lost and $1,350,0O0
in damage was done to this
vicinity.
Accompanied by Governor
Charles M. Smith, of Vermont,
Maj. Gen. Edwin M. Markham,
chief of Army engineers, and other
officials, the President rode out
on the top of the dam, which
creates a catch basin for the
Winooski River.
Earlier, the President had Wis
tied Little River Dam outside Of
