months. Automobile sales were

eminent were alarmed.
Suddenly two New Deal min
ions. Utility-fighting Bob Jack
son and general handy-man
name-caller Harold Ickes, launch
ed the Administrations bitterest
attack on big business. Jackson
accused the nations tycoon's of a
sitdown strike against the New
Deal. Ickes attacked the nations
-'sixty-families."
"Ah-ha," said the experts, "the
Presidents getting ready for an
other attack on business. Ickes
and Jackson paved the way. The
boss will follow up with the main
onslaught in his speech to Con-
gress on the state of the nation"
But the President surprised
everybody, perhaps even IckeS
and Jackson. He made no attack
on big business on January 3. In
stead, he opened up with care
fully-worded attack on aggresSor
nations. He supported the other
democracieS. He advocated "ade-
'quately strong self defense" And
finally he appealed to business,
labor, and agriculture ITO demon
Strate national unity in a world
of high tension and disorder"
He Saw War Clouds First
The Republicans waited 10
days, then sent Smell to the radio
for the official reply. Through
$500 words, almost up to the
last paragraph of his speech,
Smell concentrated on the domes-
tic scene-the depression" the
100000 unemployed" the
$1,000, 100000 worth of Roose-
welt public debt, the ''hamstring-
ing" reform laws.
Smell dismissed the clouds of
war with one oddly-worded SEN
tence:
above all. we oppose the con-
tinual preaching of war against
and hate among our own people.
From then on out. the New
Deal marked time on domestic
issues, offered fewer and fewer
reforms, more and more big de-
Tense plans. Republicans multi
piled their attacks on spending,
extravaganza, and in a final
splurge, took a business man to
head their party ticket in 1910,
the one big business man who
had throughout the New Deal
championed business against ''big
government"
AS war spread, the Republicans
supported defense and conscrip-
ton, but charged the President
with a slow administration of de-
tense, and insisted he was lead
ing the country toward war. Will
kie also talked up to the dicta-
tors as the campaign swung into
its climax.
But all this came late.
The margin of Roosevelt vic
tory was established in 1888 be-
cause he saw the war clouds
first.

Threat OF War Led
To FDR'S Election
STORY BEHIND DEMOCRATS TRIUMPH RE-
LATED BY APPS MORGAN BEATTY



WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt guessed right in
1888 and won a third term in
1910.
The Republicans guessed wrong
in January, 1888. and lost in
1940l
That's the conclusion of many
impartial observers. They base
it on the general theory that the
threat of war led voters generally
to support experienced President
Roosevelt despite the fact that he
ran in violation of the third-term
tradition.
The observers thumb back
through 10000 pages and almost
three years of Congressional Rec
ord for their evidence.
The President guessed, on jan
uary 3, 1888 (page 6, Volume 80,
part one, Congressional Record,
18th Congress- that world trou-
bleS would be uppermost in the
minds of American voters in No
vember, 1910, and NOT domestic
difficulties.

party (page 184, Volume SO, Con-
greSsional Record appendix, 18th
Congress), guessed exactly OPP

can slide there.
New Deal publications may
have played a part. For instance,
the Federal Works Agency's
Millions for Defense" pictured
New Deal relief spending for de-
tense in the depression years,
well ahead of the national alarm
of 1899. Technology on the
Farm" by Henry Wallace'S de-
partment of agriculture, outlined
a 10-year program further &C
centing help for the poorer farm
erS of the nation. And a report
by the Securities and Exchange
Commission added up the hun
dreds of millions of dollars of
family holdings by the Fords,
drPonts, Rockefellers, Melons,
etc.
Then there was the relief vote,
generally regarded as a reservoir
Of strength for the party in
power, and votes from several

the Kelly-Nash setup in Chicago,
and from the solid south.

Spring and Fall are natures
choice seasons, because they are

Beauty so often claimed exclu-
sively by the young, really means
something which is lovely; en-
chantment; the condition of being
attractive, or pretty" That can
apply to the older as well as
younger individual.
Because the hair is so important
in individual beauty foc men as

hair has taken such a lambasting

primarily talking about the care of
the i,air in today's column. You
may find your hair more unruly, a

Pompadour
Hats Suing
HeQUenDQrd
BY HAZEL G. REED

The most important OF the first
Autumn hat style either swing up
in a daShing flare, revealing the
Wearer's brow and pompadour
hairdo or they perch forward in
Uplifting angle for an equally
Jaunty effect. Of the two popular
styles, the of-the-face type is, L
think, the more glamorous.
This type, shown in felts and
velvet, is most flattering when be-
coming to the Wearer, and gives
an attractive frame for the coiffure
and the face. The pompadour hat
also shows to advantage your
prettiest earrings, if hair is brush
ed up over the ears.
A most romantic hat in this group
is a dressy model of black velve-
teen, wide and softly flaring from
Ehe brow. Draped nicely around
the face, it fits snugly, and its
grosgrain Golf banding, the de-
signer tells us, is made to be
dampened with one favorite per-
fume. Rhinestone clips attach
ed earring fashion to the sides are
another attractive feature.
