promise what the country wanted, that
the Republicans as they approached
their platform making this year gave
thought to copying much Of the 1882
Democratic platform verbatim. Their
notion was one Of political strategy
to call attention to how far Mr.. Roose-
welt had departed from the platform
of his party. But there would have
been logical basis for the action In the
identity Of thought between large por-
tions Of the two platforms.
The most conspicuous similarity be-
tween the Democratic platform of 1882
and the Republican one of 1896 lies
in what both omit. Neither contained
any thought Of basic change In the
American tradition Of government or
the American pattern Of society. The
Democratic platform Of 1882 was q
program of energetic reform, but
wholly within the framework Of the
Constitution.
Roosevelt Got OF Track.
When Mr.. Roosevelt in his 1882 ac-
ceptance speech accepted that plat
form 100 per cent" he had no thought
Of more than the platform contained.
Had he held to that pledge and that
platform he would have made a record
much like the domestic record Of
Woodrow Wilson in his first term, one
of roofing out evil practices in our
economic institutions, but doing so
without violation of our traditions.
And if Mr.. Roosevelt had held to that
platform and pledge he would be today
rather more certain Of reelection than
Woodrow Wilson was in 1916.
Just where did Mr.. Roosevelt get of
the track? When and because of what
circumstances did Mr. Roosevelt extend
his program to what he later described
as q new economic order rising from
the disintegration of the old?"
The reason lies partly, of course, in
Mr.. Roosevelt's temperament, his i'm
pulsive responsiveness to proposals that
are novel and little startling. But
from what quarter did the proposals
come which Mr.. Roosevelt later de-
scribed as "a permanent readjustment
of many of our ways of thinking and
therefore of many of our social and
economic arrangements"

the shooting went on around him.
In the last eight years. life has
changed abruptly for the quiet edi-
torial writer of the defunct New York
Evening World. From private and
anonymous citizen, welding tre-
mendous political influence by virtue
Of his trenchant pen, he has now
become a public figure far removed
from the center of his interests. 1t
all started with his keynote speech
at the Democratic National Conveu-
| ton in Houston in 1928 Outside Of
writing books about Thomas Jefferson,
it was the first time in many years
that Mr.. Bowers came out in the open,
and having arrived so boldly and bril-
liantly, his friends refused to release
him.
To be sure, he delivered previous
keynote address at the Indiana State
Democratic Convention eight years
before, and in 1898, at the age OF 20,
had stumped his native State for the
Democratic party. He even ran for
Congress from the Terre Haute dis
trict at one time, but it came to
nothing.
His chief role in recent American
history has been that Of historian and
commentator He was one of the
many brilliant writers produced by the
Pulitzer newspapers, list including
Walter Lppmann. Charles Nicholson,
the late Frank Cobb and host of
lesser satellites.
In the East he was never much of a
practical politician. His chief in
terest lay in the founders Of democ-
racy, and it was not until a few Of
the party leaders discovered his ora
torical gifts that he was drafted to
take an active part in its affairs. A
distinguished public speaker, he spoke
very little in private, preferring to chew
an ancient cigar and contemplate first
principles.
His ambassadorial career, until re-
cent events, has been peaceful. There
was that trouble few years ago be-
TWEEN the Majorca authorities and the
American literary colony, but 1t was
pie compared with Indiana politics,
and the Ambassador cleared 1t up
easily.

chester, N. H., before the avalanche
of the business depression. Six years
ago, as treasurer and trustee Of the
largest cotton cloth factory in the
world, Mr.. Dumaine declared a 81
dividend on 1886 900 shares of common
stock and per cent salary bonus
for its $4,000 employees.
One Of New England's foremost in

years old, has been tntimatly asso-
ciated with the Amoskeag mills since

times appeared to be ruthless policy
