The backbone of the Demo
cratic party today is the United

may. Without the support af-
forded by the hundreds of
thousands Of checks which it
issues to the people of the
country it could hardly hope to
hold its head up in the November

head of the party engaged in
open warfare with party leaders
there would be little hope for it.
Despite the fact that party lead
ers are continually emphasizing
the nonpolitical nature Of relief
1T does net and hold votes by its
very nature. Few if any bene-
ficiaries of the GOVERNMENTS
largess will vote against their
benefactors. 1t is not natural
that they should. If the Republi-
can party expects to win many
of these votes, it will have to
convince the voters that it has
something better to offer. and
that is difficult to do. IF it could
bid higher it could take many of
those who make up the balance
of power that throws elections

an amazing point that the
