What we mean is this: The ex-
perience Of Teddy Roosevelt in
1912 amply demonstrates that a
third party cannot beat both old
parties in any election. 1t can
prevent the success of the organi-
cation from which it comes and
that is about all. However, if
there is to be a split in both old
line parties the field would be
wide oaen for another organiza-
ton, such as Labor, to get in on
an even basis with a fair chance
OF success Otherwise. the third
party movement is not apt to be
effective.

preaching normal conditions, there
will be a realignment of votes
along the old division. This re-
mains to be seen hut there is per-
sistent talk of a third party to
challenge the long supremacy of
the two old-line political organi-
cations. Common conversation al
ways icludes the possibility that
John L. Lewis will attempt to set
up a labor party and he may do
so, but the writer thinks that he
is too smart for such a manoeu-
vre unless there develops other
splits within the two major par
ties.

The battle between the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the
Committee for Industrial Organi-
zation has been waged for slightly
more than a year. When the
A. F. Of L. suspended ten unions
FOR affiliating with the c I. o.,
it lost about 100000 members,
but the Federation has gained
more than a million members in q
year and half, giving it a paid
up total OF 100000. John L.
Lewis, militant leader OF the liv-
al organization, claims that the
c. |. O. unions have enrolled 81

While the A. F. of L. has been
reluctant to close the door to a
possible reconciliation, there
seems to be little possibility of
such a development in the near
future. Both labor organizations
are fighting for growth and en-
ployers are sometimes caught be-
tween the fire of union activity,
In fact, even employees themselves
sometimes suffer from the bitter
fight. The warfare is holly con-
tested in some industries, is about
to open in others and in still
others the sniping has hardly be-
gun. Space does not permit even
a brief survey of the chief points
of warfare or an effort To de-
scribe the different methods be-
ing adopted by the two organi-
cations as contrasted with the
C. l. o. plan along industrial
lines.

While it is not the purpose of
this column to attempt any expert
summary OF the present conflict
which is undoubtedly doing tenn
porary injury to the cause Of
labor. there are many who be-
lieve that eventually the c. !. o.
idea should be adopted for the
mass production industries and
the craft organization retained in
other fields. The tactics Of John
L. Lewis, including a ''te!l-it-to-
the-world" policy md n ten
dency to play up the political
rover of his organization is prob
ably responsible for some of the
gains made by the c. I. O. but it
is also a distinct danger and may
possibly become the decisive fac
tor in determining the outcome Of
labor's civil war. William Green
has conducted the A. F. Of l..
campaign along conservative lines,
counting heavily on convincing
the public and employers that he
heads a responsible organization
which viii live up to its con
tracts.

Especial Washington Correspond
emit of The Citizen)

emit of The Citizen)
Many months ago, in these
columns, we pointed out the
changing political scene that was
following the reform efforts of
President Roosevelt. The New
Deal program had them, and has
now, bitter enemies within the
ranks of the Democratic party
who will not hesitate at any
manoeuvre which promises to
wreck the Roosevelt machine.
That much was certain long be-
fore the Supreme Court fight and
the wages and hours battle in
Congress and there is no reason
for any amazement when the OPP
position rears its head.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-09-15

This was the situation when the
President went into office in the
dark DAYS of the 1888 panic, with
his strategy already aimed at win
ming the support of labor and the
farmers. Plainly the hope Of the
Roosevelt regime was to effect a
rolitical coalition between the
Progressives Of the West and the
East and to retain the Solid
South in tire Democratic game-
bag. How we'll this was accom-
plished Is t. be seen in the fig
ures OF the 1886 election. Landon
polled nearly million votes more
than did Pres. Hoover In MS race
for reelection but Roosevelt added
nearly five million 20 his pre-
vious total. to beat his Republican
riva1 by more than 1900. 600
votes.

The recent speech Of Mr.. Lew

II viii be recalled that Mr. Roose-
welt used 4 quotation during the
recent steel strike. implying that
the public as gett ny tired q the
tactics Of 10th sides. This idea
was expressed again this month
when the President innmate3
that both had made mistakes in
dealing with labor questions. Mr.

else and implies that those who
adopt such ar attitude must NOT

The President long ago deter
mined that the Democratic party,
so long as he was in control,
would be the liberal political or
ganizations of the United States.
He was willing then, and he is
willing now, to give up the con-
sentative group of Democrats in
exchange for the acquisition of
Republican and Independent lib
erals. His strategy has been emil
nently successful as the recent
elections attest.

When Wilson was reelected in
1916 he polled 9,129,606 votes. 1t
is worth noting that when Cox
was beaten by Harding in 1920 by
the unprecedented majority of
1000, 900. the Ohio Democrat ac-
tually polled more votes than the
wartime President Four years
later Coolidge beat Davis by a
greater number, and although Al
Smith polled more votes in 1928
than Coolidge got in 1924, Hoover
led him across the line by more
than 100000 ballots. Then, in
1882, came the amazing reversal,
with Hoover dropping more than
5000, 900 votes and Roosevelt
picking up 100000 more than
Smith. to almost equal the record
lead scored by Coolidge in 1924
when he beat Davis BY 100000
votes.

For a number of years, follow
ing the administration of Presi-
dent Wilson, the Democrats were
hopelessly in the minority. In
fact, the first election of Wilson
was made possible when Teddy
Roosevelt, out for President on
the Progressive ticket, cut the
political throat of President Taft,
seeking reelection as a Republi-
can. Wilson was a minority Presi-
dent during his first term and the
possessor of a small majority dur
ing his second term. Then came
the deluge that covered the DEM
ocrats, massive majorities that
elected three Republican Presi-
dents in a row, Harding, Cool
idge and Hoover. The nation
seemed forever Republican.

ANTI-TREATING CRUSADE
IN SOUTH


The anti-treating crusade is the
latest development Of the Prohibi-
tion warfare in the South. It is
manifested especially in Georgia,
where cards are being distributed
pledging the signer not to drink
with or ask any one to dring spir-
ituous or malt liquors or wine in
a public place. There is no doubt
that the practice Of treating il
carried to a ridiculous extent i'll
this country or that it often fost-
ers habit of drinking where little
original taste for liquor existed. It
is especially prevalent among
young men, a refusal to accept an
invitation being considered prima
facie evidence Of adolescence. If
the anti-treating movement can do
anything to correct this impression
and convince young men that it is
more manly to refuse than to ac-
cept, its spread should be encour-
aged.

SCREAMING" ROAD
As Plan For Safety When Car Ap-
DrOacheS Danger

Highways that would scream" a
warning when an automobile left

by experimenters as a possible

sity of Minnesotas mines expert

by using different designs on the
blocks, ar wheels will make vary
ing sounds for each design
BY this method" Mr.. Lewis
said, ''it is claimed that it would be
possible to construct the highway
so that when driving safely on the
road the tires would make a COM
Portable hum. However, if the
driver were to wander too far out
of the proper lane, the tires would
scream a warning for him to get
back into the safety zone. The
high-pitched tone also might be
used for warning the driver he is
approaching dangerous curve or
intersection and should reduce his
speed"
Whether or not additional nois-
es will aid the situation, there is a
very real and vital need for build
ing safety into the highways" Mr.
Lewis declared.
There is abundant evidence that
a great saving of lives would re-
suit from elimination Of present
day highway hazards" he said.
Accident counts, which show that
on a given stretch of highway, the
of accidents occur at GER

er engineering will go far toward
