White House and demanded that
they go not before the people and dc.

of 'isms" that have come into being
since the World War, and may
make plea here that We make a
study Of the history of how these
"isms' came into being. The speak
cr reminded his hearers again and
again that he was not attempting -
preach or sermoniZe. / merely ask
that we take the common sense point
of view, and not he easily led by
those who would advocate that our
form OF government is out of date,
and the trainers Of our Constitr-
tuition did not provide for the people
of today. Let us reflec for n moment
and if you recall what was said Il
few moments ago as to the evils that
gave birth to our great human docu-
ment then should like to ask, is ly-
ing any different today from what ii
was when the Constitution was
framed? Is greed any different? hate
jealousy? selfiShneSs! No. They are
the same monstora. Our Constitution
is our safeguard.
In telling words the speaker told
| the audincce that such an assembly
Of people whom he was speaking
could be thought of in no other coun-
try save that of England. Freedom
If assembly Is not possible in those
countries ruled by dictatorS. hu'
let us see briefly how these "isms
came into being. Dictatorships were
dcviser by peoples and nations de-
feated in the War, or during perio'
of distress, and deStitution. irac''-
cally every nation in the world eX'
cept America and Esgland has turner
RI some form of "ism' since the
World War. Most of soldiers of
other nations returning from that
great struggle helped or aided IN
setting up relationships. What OF the
American Legion!
The American Legion has its char
ter. 1t was ?~~~o--" by the Congress
or tltc United =. 1t has it's pre-
an.blc. For CO. al Country, Thinl:
OF those w, nd think of the
words of the r.:5titution. Eve the
people, We. az Americans, believe
that the country belongs to rs, anil
we belong to God. Contrast this with
the belief of Relationships, the state
Is Supreme; The people belong 20
the state.
Our program. said tho speaker, is
one of virility and common sens"
We arc pledged to preserve that in
strumrnt which has fo~ its purpose
The safeguard of orr liberties, and
the things VIC hold dear.

Minor Party Votes
New York Times)

New York TlmeS)
Final election returns invariably lag we'll behind
the event itself and it not until last week that
figures published revealing the total votes re-
ceved by the various minor party candidates on
November g. The showing made by them turns out to
have been fully as bad seemed likely to be the
case on the basis of early and incomplete returns
Mr.. Lemke, in whose behalf Father Coughlin once
boasted that he could rally nine million votes actu-
ally received election day less than one-nnh
that MEMBERSHIPS 1853, to be precise. The Socialist
Party with Mr.. Thomas its candidate polled 187-
342 votes-less than one-fourth many Mr..
Thomas received four years ago. and the smallest
polled by Socialist candidate since 1900. The Com
mlnist vote cut from slightly than 100000 to
about four-ffths that figure The purely nominal
Prohbitonist vote cut in half. The aggregate
of all minor party votes all scattering" votes and all
votes found to be null and void, 1378630 That
is less than per cent of the total by the
country November 3.
For the failure of the minor parties to make
better showing various explanations offered
One theory is that considerable number of voters
who might have cast their ballots for Mr. Thomas or
Mr.. Browder feared a Republican victory at the
polls, thought that this would reaction" and
therefore their votes to Mr. Roosevelt Another
explanation is that the endorsement of Mr. Roose-
welt by Labors NonPartisan League dealt the Soci-
alists heavy blow. Still another theory might be
suggested: that the campaign conducted by Mr.
Lemkes Union Party was so extravagant and so es-
sentiay foolhardy that it turned sentiment against
all minor party efforts
Whether the true explanation lies here or else
where the result achieved on November scarcely
give much satisfaction to those who cherish the am
btion OF creating a really formidable third party
For while the election resulted in large net shift
of votes from the Republican to the Democratic
party it showed deep dissatisfaction with the ira
ditona two-party system least long as one Of
these parties led by candidate progressive in his
views as is Mr. Roosevelt. Though there were more
minor parties in the field this year than in 1882 the
two major parties poled larger proportion of the
total vote.
