NO ISSUES WERE SETTLED TUESDAY

Not a single issue before the people OF
this country was definitely and finally set
tied in Tuesdays election. a> n. ,
When the votes are all tabulated 1t Will
be found that the Roosevelt victory, re-
duced to percentage, is little If any greater
as to the popular vote than victories which
have been given presidential candidates IN
the past; and the country has seen the YER
diets in these cases reversed after four or
eight years. D s-.... .....
If Roosevelt's Socialist machine slips
cog in the next four years something SINH
lar may happen to him; either as third
term candidate, or to the man he will I'M
doubtedly seek to have elected as his sue
ceSSor. .. . .. .,.....
The outspoken opposition to Roosevelt's
policies is composed of around seventeen
million citizens who voted against him
on Tuesday. The under cover opposition
amounts to probably one-third to one-halt
of the citizens who voted for him. These
citizens are opposed to most of his policies
and condemn most of the steps he has
taken in the past four years. For example
he was Supported in the South, because OF
blind devotion to party name. Roosevelt
has stolen the livery of the Democrats and
has a strangle-hOld on the Democratic Or
qanization. That was sufficient to swing
the Southern States in the election.
In other sections of the country, motives
pnnnpptpn
fundamental principles or policies, con-
trolled the voting of millions. Walter Lipp-
man sums up comment on the result by say
ING that the country is enjoying measure
of business revival and that the people of
this country have never been known to
vote against the party in power except In
time of depression or bad business condi-
tlons. .r,. a. O..
,Lippman does not believe that millions
OF voters for Roosevelt gave thought to
fundamental principles or to consideration
OF the logical results which will follow
continuation of his efforts to remake. the
country according to the radical Socialist
pattern. No doubt his estimate is correct.
iOf course the danger that now confronts
the country is that Roosevelt may succeed
in the next four years in fastening Social
ism so securely on the United States tnaV
nothing short of serious trouble can DE
avoided when the time comes that ma
idrity of the people decide to throw raol-
calism overheard. E:.., 80
AT anv rate it is clear that there was no
final decision as to the issues in TUESDAY
election. No public issue vitality concern
;no the welfare of vast country ana
vast population is ever settled until IL \
settled right. When issues are settled rlgh
NOV can become the fixed policies OF the
cSuntrv with the support of such large
n,onortion of the people that they are no
danger of being disturbed or enahsea.
