Prosperity Aids Democrats


Unquestionably the character and
records of the candidates influenced
many votes.
Mr.. Roosevelt's recognized ability
on the stump, his agility in taking
advantage of every break, his al
most uncany faculty of sensing pub
lie sentimental these were in his
favor. Besides, many who did not
agree with his policies liked him
for his courage and his record OF
action, and for his background OF
experience, particularly in interna-
tional relationships.
In contrast, Mr.. Landon not only
failed to capture the popular i'm
aginatioin, as the election returns
show, but he manifestly was advis-
ed badly in some of the most i'm
portant utterances. He put up a
brave battle, and won wide respect
for his devotion to simplicity and
directness. But that did not prove
sufficient to an electorate accus-
toned to the glamor and finesse
which Mr.. Roosevelt had brought
to the Presidency.
So far as the second factor was
concentrating issues-the Demo
Gratis had to their advantage the
most compelling of ALL

What Licked the C.. @. P.?
Practically Everything,
Post MOrtem NO,U Reveals
BY BYRON PRICE
Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press. Washington

Election post-mortems usually are
rendered difficult by natural alb
sence of proof, but in the case of the
great Republican carnage of No
vember there certainly is no such
obstacle.
In fact it now is plain that the
victim was suffering from SO many
fatal disabilities that the problem
is to decide which of them was the
principal cause of extinction.
The simplest way is to classify
the reasons for the Republican de-
mise under three general headings
the candidates, the issues, and
party organization. In every one OF
these respects, the voters apparent
ly gave the Democrats the best OF
it. Any one of the three, it APP
pears, might have determined the
outcome by itself.
It was not the sort Of campaign,
for instance, where finger could
be put on any single circumstance
or development, and that particu-
lar factor identified as the turning
point toward Democratic victory.
On the Democratic side there was
no one spectacular thrus/ at the OPP
position-in fact surprises OF every
kind were notably lacking during
the entire period of campaigning.
On the Republican side, no one par
ticular blunder can be charged with
causing the defeat. The only con-
clusion is that an invincible COM
bination of causes was working
steadily to Democratic advantage.
