may challenge Senator Joseph Guf-
fey New Deal adherent. Since his
political retirement, Mr.. Pepper has
been a vigorous opponent of the
New Deal, not only in the public
forum, but in the law courts, a ia
nous corporation lawyer leading the
attack against New Deal alphabetical
entanglements, notably in the Hoo
sac Mills fight against the A. A. A.
This continuing momentum NAV
carry him back to the hustings.
Mr.. Pepper, holder of nine college
degrees, earned and honorary, is
one of the aristoi of the Pennsyl-
Vanla bar, and his political career
throws some interesting sidelights
on the theme of the gentleman in
politics. Boies Penrose, whose seat
he took by appointment. after Mr..
Penrose's death, was of the social
elite. but a straight-arm realist
whose political techniques were not
unlike those of the unpedigreed and
socially uncertified politicians with
whom he made his off-stage deals
William S. Ware, who displaced Mr.,
Pepper in 1927, was even more Of
an alien in Mr.. Peppers world. It
was understandable that he should
renounce politics.
This writer has thought it might
be nice workout for a rainy day
to run through James G. Blaine's
twenty Years in Congress" and MIR.
Peppers In the Senate" together,
and make comparisons. Mr.. Blaine,
like Mr.. Pepper, was highly edu-
Gated, able and distinguished gen.
tleman in politics, but with some
what less reserve and sensitivity
AS politician, Mr.. Pepper has
suffered from somewhat the same
inadequacy as that of the British
public school statesmen in theu
postwar contacts with Europear
self-starting statesmen of type
which they could not possibly havs
known in their clubs. They had nc
means of judging their opponents.
But now. at 70, it appears that Mr.
Pepper will try return engage
ment. Perhaps he has learned to
defend himself against eye-gouging
and rabbit punches in the clinches.

ran through a large number of the
speeches by Republicans of the Sen
ate and the House in the recent de-
bate on the neutrality bill. Though
there was no strict party line, either
Democratic or Republican, in this
controversy, it was significant that
most of the Republicans lined up
against repeal of the arms embargo,
on the theory that repeal would be
a "Step toward war"
In doing this, they aligned them
selves with the large body Of voters
who identified the cause of peace
with retention of the embargo.
These voters may or may not have
been, at heart, more peace-minded
than the voters who wanted repeal,
but unquestionably the thought that
the anti-repealists represented more
accurately the peace sentiment of
the country entered into the calcu-
lations of the Republication a lot
Of them-who voted to keep the
embargo. That is to say, the desire,
for campaign purposes, to write a
record supporting the claim that the
Republican party is the only really
safe custodian of the country's peace
had a good deal to do with the Re-
publican vote against repeal
Senator Taft, incidentally, did not
express his partisanship in this man.
ner, but stood by his convictions and
voted for repeal
Clue to 1910.
Some clue to the probable charac-
ter of the next campaign can be
gained from the iteration and reiter-
alton, by Republican spokesmen,
that the war somehow will be an
issue in 1910 This is a prophecy
in which there is more than a little
wishful thinking The fact that it
is being so assiduously made denotes
a scarcity of other clean-cut issues
on which the Republicans feel they
can go before the country with the
prospect of success 1t is writing no
brief for the Democrats to say that
the new conception of governmental
duties which they have set up and
seen validated by great numbers of
voters makes the campaign task of
their opponents extremely difficult

issue for which the Republicans are
hoping-and there is at least a very
large chance that 1t will motor If
Mr.. Roosevelt does not hand them
an issue on silver platter by run
ming again, what will be the issues
on which the election of 1910 will
be decided?
The Issues.
They will be issues concerned with
methods rather than with measures,
and who can build a slogan around
methods that will sweep the cleo
torate?
The Republicans can urge changes
In the social security laws, but they
cannot, without committing politi-
cal suicide, advocate their repeal.
They will ask for modification of
the Wagner Labor Relations Act,
not for its repeal. They will sup
port the principle O. the new laws
governing the stock exchanges and
the issue of securities. Conceivably
they will launch sharp attack on
some phases of the Wage-and- hour
laws, but it's good bet they will
shy away from urging repeal
They will have to declare for re-
lief in some form and for aid to the
farmers, They must stand for ade-
quate national defense. Possibly
there will be fight centering
around the reciprocal tariff treaty
views OF Secretary Hull, but it's
hard to see how a tariff fight can
of1er any hope of political gain to
either side. The tariff issue today
cuts right through both parties.
G. o. P. Lacks Ammunition.
When all the possible concrete is
sues are examined it becomes clear
that from the Republican point of
view there is in them a sad lack
OF the stuff from which effective
campaign ammunition can be made.
The campaign, then, failing the
emergence OF some new vital issue,
Will be based on general theories
OF government, on distractions and
trends, on pointings with alarm and
viewings with pride and on the per-
sonalities of the two candidates.
Both sides will assert the same
objectives, and there will be no
great difference in what they will
say about specific methods and
tempo. If Taft runs against Gar
ner, for example, or Vandenberg
against McNutt, or any available"
candidate you care to name on either
side against any such candidate on
the other (always' assuming that
Roosevelt is out of it,, where is the
great dividing issue between the
two?
AS of today it simply isn't there,
and that is why the Republicans
are hopefully awaiting some devel-
opment that would make the peace
issue real one.

May Prod Investigators.
The foregoing criticism of the
labor board is about as severe as
has been meted out by any judicial
tribunal and coming as it does on
the eve of the investigation by the
committee of the House of Repre-

Howard Smith of Virginia it NAV

boards are allowed to disregard

The Wagner Act does not differ
from other statutes in the grant of
such broad authority, but all statutes
are going to be subject now to
public criticism wherever they per-
NIT rulings which interfere with
economic progress and adversely
affect the welfare of workers and
producers and investors in business
enterprises. Arbitrary action by
commissions and boards will be
heard from as an issue of the 1910
campaign unless soon corrected by
Congress.
