ly. There can be no more rubber
stamp business. New Deal tactics
must change and the sooner the
bunch of so-called intellectuals, the
highbrows, learn this lesson, the
better it will be for Mr.. Roosevelt,
politically.
am told by a number Of politi-
cally important personages that the
election already has increased the
courage of some of the conservative
Democrats who were not outspoken
heretofore. It is predicted that
these will feel free now to tell the
President when they disagree. None
can fortell how far that situation
will develop. It is a part, however,
Of the thought that moderation
must be the rule.
Must Become Statesmen,
Quit Their Demagoguery
And, next, if the Republican lead
ership has good sense, it will dis
play its best brand. It will tell its
followers to become statesmen and
quit their demagoguery. The op-
portunity awaits them to be con-
structive and if they fail to put
forward sound proposals, they will
have justified the country in re-
fusing to give them control as was
done in 1886
It is proper to say, Of course, that
the Republicans will not be in con-
troll of either the senate or the
house. That means, they can have
no management of legislative ma
chinery. That machinery, which is
all-important in carrying forward
political party policies, remains in
the hands of the New Deal But
the absence of control for the Re-
publicans can not destroy the re-
sponsibility which they have as
sumed in electing as many men,
bers of the congress as Is recorded.
They dare not dodge that respon-
sibility.
Just ahead, therefore, lies the ne
cessity for Mr.. Roosevelt to realize
that there Is new public temper
which does not like extremes. and
for Chairman John Hamilton Of the
Republican national committee, and
Republican Leader McNary in the
senate, and Republican Leader Mar
tin in the house, there is the oppor-
tunity to fight for reasonable legis-
lation all of the way. These three
Republican leaders must have
something to offer besides criticism
of the New Deal

WASHINGTON-The period of
distorted claims by the winners and
the equally distorted alibis of the
losers seems to be about over. We
have heard all Of the tumult and the
shouting of an election time. The
totaI vote has been tabulated, and
II shows greater number-83 new
ones-of Republicans in the house
Of representatives and eight new
Republican senators. Some IA more
states have Republican governors
ready to take over from the Demo-
Gratis they have displaced. There
were what may be called important
numerical gains for the Republicans
party label.
But while the total vote has been
tabulated and served as the basis
for the claims of the winners and
the alibis of the losers, those fig
ures will be forgotten soon. The
thing that is important is the re-
suit. We will be measuring the re-
suits for months to come.
II is quite unimportant, in my
mind, to appraise what the swing Of
a few votes may have meant. It.
is, however, mighty important to
note that there were hard and close
fights for scores of candidates, in
this 1888 election. There were hard
and close fights in the whole Of New
England; there were bitter strug-
gles In New York, Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and else
where They were fought out large
y on major issues because general
y speaking local questions did not
provide the fundamental issue in
the states that are so important po-
Ntically as those mentioned.
What does 1t mean? What is the
portent? Other writer's and anal
ysts have given and are giving their
views. I guess there is no prohib-
tson against mine.
I firmly believe the votes cast In
the 1888 election were the express
sion Of an opposition to further ex-
Fermentation by government in the
field of unsound theories; the ex-
preston was against further use of
the American people as guinea pigs,
and it was definitely for a middle
of-the-roao national policy. It was,
therefore, showing, a proof, of the
necessity for our traditional two
party system of government, and
surely, to that extent, the nation
and national life benefited by the
poll taken on November 8, 1888.

welt so often attributed to a few
whom he has called the economic
royalists." The New Dealers com.
pletely capituIated to organized Ia
Dor of the Go type and used the
numbers Of votes there to bulwark
its assault on business. The middle
classes which embraced the back
bone and the salt of the earth OF
any nation haven't had much con-
sideration from the New Deal think
ers.. They have been the forgotten
men" (and women) about which
Mr.. Roosevelt spoke when cam
paigning in 1882. It is quite clear
that the middle classes have grown
tired of government playing into
the hands Of single class. They
are tired, as they were in 1892, when
the Republicans had played too
much into the hands of big bust
ness.
Suspicious Middle Class
Is Good for q Democracy
The sum total of the situation, as
regards the middle classes, is that
they have become critical again.
They followed Mr.. Roosevelt un-
swervingly Speaking, now, of the
majority and they accepted his
statements that I'VE have planned
it that way" But when the depres-
sion of 1887 came on then and it
hit as hard as that Of 1890, they
found doubt in their minds. He
could not have planned it that way,
they reasoned. So there followed the
natural sequence of criticism, and
the country began to think that
criticism was legitimate despite the
New Dealers barrage of propaganda
that the the criticism, itself, was
propaganda. With the middle
classes back in the suspicious mood
that is good for democracy, they
are again occupying their rightful
role in government. There are
many times more Of them than any
other group; they are the majority,
and they showed it again this year
by the sharp division of votes.
The New Deal, with the aid Of
old-line Jeffersonian Democrats will
control the congress for the next
two years. But their control is not
of such a character as to permit
denial of rights to any individual
representative or senator or any
group of them. There can be no
mailed fist or must" orders. In
stead, If Majority Leader Barley
in the senate and Majority Leader
Hayburn in the house want to get
their programs through, there must
be moderation. Extremes will spell
defeat and revolt, and 1t IS conceiv-
able that policies Of q too radical
type could send the old line Demo-
Gratis over to the aid of the Republic
cans and into q coalition to destroy
the New Deal utterly and effective

Democrats Need
House Cleaning,
Lewis Declares
Clio Leader Takes Crack at
Results in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Ohio

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. r.
Clio Chairman John L. Lewis said
at a press conference today that
the election of Tuesday indicated
the need for house cleaning in
some quarters of the Democratic
Party and closer cooperation among
liberal groups.
Labor itself cannot sustain pres
tige or democratic organization in
states where the conduct of that
organization or its representatives
in office is such as not to warrant
the confidence of the electorate,
Lewis said
The CLIO leader said he meant
particularly Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Ohio.
Labor must have an increasingly
greater part in government and
not continue as "just hewers OF
wood and drawers of water for the
Democratic Party" be said.

MUNICH, Nov. ~. - Excited
crowds attacked and stormed the
palace of Cardinal Michael Won
Faulhaber and broke all the VIM
dows following a Nazi address which
referred to Catholics as allies Of
the Jews.
The attack followed the speech
last night by Adolf Wagner, Nazi
district leader, in which he read a
letter from the Cardinal asking po-
lice protection in case of attacks
on the catholic clergy.
IF Won Faulhaber mends his ways
he will be protected better than
police can attack" Wagner said.
The attack recalled the assault of
October 8 on Cardinal Innitzer's
palace in Vienna.

Ne,v Deal Legalites Pleased
With Nine Men on the Bench

The Court found that the commits
sioners had not been given a fair
hearing SO the new schedule was
held invalid If that ruling held,
the commissioners would get the
impounded half million.
But the Department argued that
the money should be returned to
the farmers who had paid the fees
in the first place. So, it came to the
Supreme Court again with a new
appeal. This time the department
argued that it should be allowed
to correct the error Why not hold
hearings at which the commits
sioners could present their case?
That would give the department an
opportunity to legalize its schedule
of rates.
Frederick H. Wood, of New
York, attorney for the commits
sioners, denounced such a proce-
dure. The department made a mis-
take in fixing the rates, didn't it?
The commissioners should be en-
titled to the impounded moneys,
shouldn't they?

BODY FOUND ON
BEACH BELIEVED
TO BE CAPTAIN
Volante and Alpha Last
Sighted Off Kruzof
Island Oct. IS
HAIDA MAKING SEARCH
FOR LOST GASBOATS
Vessels Reported Owned
by c. N. Robinson of Ket-
chikan, M. McDermott

Two more casualties among the
small fishing boats which ply the
inland waters of Alaska are appar-
emily to be recorded in the annals
of the fishing industry
The Volante and Alpha, last
sighted off Kruzof Island on Octo-
Der IS, are still reported missing
by the U.SC.G cutter Haida Lieut..
Commander Lee H. Baker, on its
return from patrol of that dis
trict.
Additional mystery was added to
the probable boat tragedies by the
discovery of body cast below the
high tide line on the eastern shore
of Kruzof Island. The body was
that of a blond man about twenty
four years old and was clad in a
leather coat and long underwear
with a burlap sack serving as a
shoe on one foot The body was
lying on a pile of gunpy sacks.
Body of Captain Found
That this may be the remains of
the one-man crew of one of the
lost boats appeared possible as
meagre descriptions received here
tally with the description of one of
the missing craft captains.
The Volante is a 60-foot gaSboat
of 20 tons gross. 1t is listed in the
Juneau Customs Registry as belong
ing to c. NJ Robinson out of Ket-
chikan. The Alpha is owned by
Monte McDermott
According to Lieutenant c M
mander Baker of the Haida the
boats when reported last seen were
battling an on-shore gale off the
west shore of barren Kruzof Island
at which time the Volante was en-
deavoring to assist the disabled Al
pha If The body found is that of
a man from one of the missing YES
sells he had apparently fought his
way across the uninhabited terrain
and collapsed where found.
The unidentified body awaits
Identification at Sitka where it was
transported by Captain Corwin of
the Naval Air Station at that point.
Wife in Hospital
Increasing the Importance of the
tragedy, if tragedy it is, came the
report that one of the missing men
from the lost vessels has wife ill
in a Ketchikan Hospital expecting
a child. The other man has a wife
and family of five.
Difficulty of ascertaining identi-
ties may be attributed by the large
number of fishing craft from Wash
ington and Southeast Alaska ports
taking advantage of the late sal
mon run in the Sitka area The
boats are mostly one-man craft and
strangers to each other, consequent
ly they can only furnish the barest
of details about the activities and
personnel of other vessels.
The Haida will continue the
search.
