River. Sitting on the edge Of the
bridge. eating lunch from paper bag,
they discussed Fargo as q place for
two young Democratic lawyers to
settle Unable to come to decision,
their eyes looked outward TO the scene
before them. Walsh noticed his brother
gaze intently at the river below, then
look at the sun, then look again at
the river and again at the sun. Tom"
said the brother. isn't that river fiow-
ing north?" Walsh, after similarly
surprised observation, said 1t was.
There was a moment of ruminating
silence. Tom" said the brother, "lets
move on; don't feel right about q
place where rivers run north and
Irishmen vote the Republican ticket"
Vote Tide as Strange.
Well, in the present campaign there
are stranger things than Irishmen vot-
ing the Republican ticket. And the
sum Of the political rivers running
north makes November the most diff
ficult election to estimate within the
memory Of observers who are very
experienced. However We dissect the
electorate, whether geographically or
by classes, We find tides running
counter to what has been their direc-
ton always before.
Perhaps the strongest improbability
that any politician could have specu-
lated on. any time from the Civil War
up to the present. would be Negroes
voting Democratic. Indeed. no poll
tician would have given thought to
such thing. That colored folks voted
Republican was one of the fixed facts
Of politics, as immutable as the coming
of election day. Not many Of the
Negroes voted. In the South they
hardly voted at all; but North or
South. so far as they voted, they voted
almost wholly Republican.
This year there is a double change.
The Negroes in the North are appsr-
emily going TO vote in large numbers
and seemingly q great number of them
are going to vote Democratic. In
Northern cities many Negroes are on
relief; and either because they are
told so, or by native shrewdness, they
understand that they had better side
with the party from which, so they are
told, their relief bread and butter
comes. Aside from this motive. the
Negroes are wooed by Democratic lead

who voted for Herbert Hoover in 1928
because he thought government was
a job for sound engineers and not
