Is strict, but it never contemplated
allowing a member Of the cabinet
to remain in office and engage in
active political campaigning, any
way.
This correspondent doubts very
much whether Mr.. Wallace on re-
Election will wish to remain in office.
The course of Herbert Hoover, who
resigned as Secretary of Commerce
within few days after his speech
of acceptance as presidential can
didate in 1928, was eminently the
right one, and when it comes to
following precedents there are none
better involving good taste and pro-
priety than those which were fol-
lowed by Mr.. Hoover during his
many eventful years Of public
service.

Charles G. 2sss. thinks will be
especially useful barometers as the
campaign progresses. These are
Illinois, California and Nebraska.
This Is the argument:
Illinois should be watched because
It IS the home Of the Nash
machine Of Chicago. The Demo-
cratic ticket is in part dependent for
its success on the ability Of such
organizations as this and the Hague
machine in New Jersey to roll up the
vote in their respective States. How
the ticket fares in Illinois, then, may
be taken as guide to the relative
influence OF the Democratic city
machines in shaping the national
result.
To Put ON Pressure.
The Kelly-Nas organization, with
its Roosevelt and Humanity" slogan,
was a powerful factor In bringing
about the third nomination Of the
President, and all its resources will
be enlisted in the fight to swing the
State for him in the election.
There are those who believe that
the machine, despite the evidences
OF its power Haunted before the
delegates in Chicago, is losing its
grip; that resentment comparable to
that which undid the Pendergast
organization in Kansas City is clos
ing In on 1t. If this is true, it would
appear that the machine has q hard
job ahead In the effort to hold the
State for Roosevelt. Outside Of
Cook County, the State went Repub.
lican In the congressional elections
OF 1898, and in the presidential pri.
maries this year Roosevelt's total
for the State barely topped the COM
bined votes Of Dewey and Garner.
Illinois, decidedly, is . State to
watch.
California for Benefits.
California is put on the list Of
State barometers, because of the
great percentage Of its residents who
are receiving public benefits. Here,
II anywhere, should be a test Of the
power Of Government benefactions,
regardless Of issues, to produce votes.
Nobody expects California to 20
Republican. If, however, SURVEYS
In California show the Roosevelt
strength being materially whitfield
down. the fair inference will be that
the Republican campaign is cutting
widely into sectors heretofore re-
garded as safely Democratic because
OF Government spending.
Nebraska should furnish q good
testing ground for the power issue.
II one State more than another
might be expected to go. against
Willkie on that issue, Nebraska, the
home Of Senator George Norris,
father Of the T. v. A., would seem
to be the State. Signs of a Willkie
victory in Nebraska would reason
ably be hailed as evidence that the
power issue had been overshadowed,
Nebraska also should give an indica.
ton OF the voting trends among
farmers.
TO the foregoing list of Nebraska,
California, Illinois, there should be
added, for another reason, the State
OF New York. Watch New York, not
tor trends elsewhere, but to try to
determine how New York itself is
going. The Democrats conceiyably
can win without New York: the
Republicans can't. In all human
probability, the ticket that carries
New York will carry the election.

Our "War Once"
How many Americans are aware
that the ofncial seal Of the War De-
partment designates that branch Of
the Government as "War Once"
like its historic British counterpart?
The original seal was adopted In
1777. 1t has for its device . group
Of military trophies, with the Phryg-
ian cap. emblem Of freedom, be-
tween q spear and a musket. Over
this Is serpent. The border Of the
seal contains the words United
States Of America, and below them,
the, words War Once. Inquiry In
Secretary Stimson,s bailiwick evokes
the reply that it's not clear from
the records Just when or how the
words war ONCE" came to be added
to the seal.
