ONCE UPON MAY 2lst

Contemporary politics are outside
the sphere of this column, - but it
should be permissible to speculate
and direct attention to historic pre-
cedent.
If the Democratic Party should not
be disposed to go along with Mr..
Roosevelt and nominate him for a
third term, and if he should feel thai
he should be in the White House I'M
til his detectives are nearer of reali-
cation, there is nothing to prevent
him from campaigning under a dif-
ferent party label. Roosevelt the
+ irst did.
No President has been compared to
Andrew Jackson, the founGer of the
Democratic party, more often than
r. d. r. Jackson was elected Presi-
dent first as Republican,! Jackson's
nomination to his second term, 1O3
years ago today, is synonymous with
the birth of the Democratic party.
