bureau of the National Urban
League and Vice-Chairman OF
the greater New York Sponsor
ing Committee commented
"The committees of the Nation
al Negro Congress have done a
wonderful job in getting the
crowd to Chicago. I think that
the danger of failure will lie in
various opposing group who
will spend more time in flght-
ing to get a point across than
educating the delegates to a
point of view which they really
understand and support. .
Mr.. William c. HASTE, As

Tries to Explain
Rule by Majority
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

NTASHINGTON, May ga visitor from Mars,
w coming to observe our two national nominat-
ing conventions, might find something confusing and
seemingly ironical about our politics.
But that would be because he didn't understand
He would see us excited over the presidential
campaign, exercised to whether Roosevelt or Lam
don was going to be elected. He would hear people
hating Roosevelt or the Republicans, or both, and
swearing that If the wrong man was elected, the
country never would survive the catastrophe.
AT the same time he would wonder in his child
like way, why so much concern over eectng Presi-
dent and Congress when most of the business at
tempted by the President and the Congress we elect
ed the last time had been stopped by the courts
He had studied textbooks about our government
and learned that ours was democracy in which the
people rule by electing their officials. The books
didn't say anything about judicial oligarchy run
ming the country end he wants to be Strengthened
out about rumorS that point.
You just have to sit down patiently and explain
it to him. and show him how majority rule works
We elected RooSevelt-au except six states voted
for him. Roosevelt supporters given major
ity in the House and Senate in the same election.
Two years later Roosevelt supporters elected to
Congress in ever greater numbers, reducing the OPP
position party to the lowest numbers in its history
You tell him that many politicians think Roose-
welt will be hard to beat in November and that there
Is only fighting chance that the country will re-
pudiate him. That's majority rule
THAT will be reasonably clear even to a be-
when the Supreme Court is elected. You tell him
that 1t isn't elected, it's appointed. Did Roosevelt
5rpoint them? No, you explain, all of the judges
appointed before the New Deal was ever
heard Of
But they are all very wise men, all learned in
the law. Some have been the Supreme Court
for many years.
Although the Constitution was written in 1879
and was very wise document. it wasn't possible to
foresee everything There wasn't even railroad
then. So the judges tell us what they think the
writers of the Constitution would have said
When something new comes in six of the Judges
usually say the Founding Fathers would have beer
against it and the other three usually say the
Founding Fathers would have approved it.
Then each side chooses leader who goes to the
library. hunts up something some other Judge has
said in favor of his side and includes several of
these quotations in his opinion. In this way each
side proves beyond shadow OF doubt that it is right
After each side has proved it is right they count
noses The right side which has the most noses wins
So, while you may have to labor the point to your
Marian visitor, you prove that the majority
rules even on the Supreme Court. That's what de-
mocracy Is, majority rule
u Thus, once you understand it, there is nothing
confusing conflicting ironical about it, The thing
Is simple. just remember that we have majority
xule.

after the company's formation in
1886.
The electric street car began to
replace the horse drawn car in
the late eighties and George West
inghouse and his engineers soon
turned their attention to the i'm
provement of motors and other
apparatus needed.
Il II
THE company turned out it's
l. first railway motor in 1890.
The following year it produced
the first single reduction railway
motor. Two years later it pro-
duced the first inclosed motor and
in 1894 31e first steel frame motor.
The rapid growth of interurban
electric lines, their ability to ham
die mass transportation, and their
economy and ease of operation,
caused rail officials to debate the
ACCESSIBILITY of electrifying their
own roads.
The first railroad to electrify a
part of it's line was the New York,
New Haven & Hartford. On June
80, 1895, this road began electric
operation of it's Nantasket Beach
Branch, nine miles of track eX-
tending from Nantasket Junction
to Pemberton, Mass. The summer
traffic on this branch was ex-
tremely heavy.
Today, the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford has 100 miles Of
electrified road in which there are
500 miles of electrified track.
The Pennsylvania Railroad
turned it's attention to electricity
at the beginning of the present
century, electrifying it's Long
Island branch in 1905. One hun
dred and thirty-four motor cars,
equipped with Westinghouse mo-
tors, were operated on this divi-
sion, power for which was fur
nished by three Westinghouse
generators driven by Parson steam
turbines.
NTHER important e1ectrifica-
~ tons carried through by
Westinghouse include the Vir-
ginian Railway and sections of
the Norfolk & Western Railway,
the Great Northern Railway, and
the Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Paul
& Pacific.
