Now that the smoke of the
recent political battle has cleared
away, the two old major parties
are revealed as stronger than
ever-and the minority parties
are shown to be without national,
and very little State, significance.
It is true that the Progressive
party in Wisconsin did elect its
candidate for Orlando
9. Loomis. But that party also
had its membership in the House
Of Representatives reduced from
three to two.
Furthermore, Gov. -elect Loomis
was running against a particu-
1arly weak and vulnerable Re-
publican nominee, the incumbent,
Gov. Julius p. He'll. Mr.. He'll
won election as Governor in 1898
by 10000, and was reelected in
1910 by only $4,000.
In the United States Senate,
as 4 result of the elections, only
one third-party Senator remains
In that body after the new Con-
gress comes in next January
Senator La Toilette OF Wisconsin,
Progressive. Senator La Toilette
was reelected to his present term
in 1910.
Shipstead Becomes Republican.
Three years ago, the Farmer
Labor party had two Senators
In Washington, the Progressive
party one, and Senator George
w. Norris Of Nebraska was an
"1ndependent," though he wore
the New Deal label. Since that
time, Senator Shipstead of Min
nesota changed his party allie
glance and was reelected to the
Senate rs = Republican,. He
originally was elected to the Sem
ate in 1922 as = Farmer-Labor
Senator.
Senator Lundeen, Farmer-La-
Dor, was killed about two years
ago in an airplane crash. His
place was filled by Senator Ball,
Republican, under appointment
Of Gov. stassen, Republican. Last
Tuesday, Senator Ball was elected
for the six-year term beginning
next January. and Arthur E.
Nelson, Republican, for the short
term until the opening OF the
new Congress.
Senator Norris was eliminated
by the recent election in Ne
braska and a Republican, Ken
meth s. Wherry, was chosen In
his place.
So far as the House is con-
cerned, In the new Congress
minority party representation is
confined to two Progressives from
Wisconsin-a loss of one as
compared to the present Con-
gress-and to one Farmer-Labor
and one American Labor.
The situation Of the Farmer
Labor Party in Minnesota is
rather hopeless. 1t Is without
a single colerful leader. It has
no offices, either State or con-
gressional. It Is, in other words,
fiat on its back, whereas only a
few years ago 1t had a Governor,
a couple Of Senators and a con-
siderable number Of Represen-
tatives in the national House,
and practically all the State Of
fices.

you have no choice. Where there
was another choice, as in New York,
the American Labor Party (during
Swing to the right" or it is to
laugh) rolled up an incredible 410,-

who are still wondering who pushed
that button.
say that Mr.. Roosevelt is sitting
atop enormous pressures, but that
they are not Republican pressures.
The Republicans simply happened
to be out with buckets when it was
raining votes. This election talks
double-talk, and 1t says Mr.. Roose-
welt can stop the swing to the Re-
publicans by being twice as much
Roosevelt as he has been for some
time; by finding Hitler and hitting
him; by hitting Laval while waiting;
by showing the country that the
siege is over and the march has
begun.
That was what the country voted
for, and I think number of Re-
publicans know they were only chips
in that misunderstood, half in
stinctive game.

The Political Mill
Election Thrusts Minority Parties Further
Toword Stotus Of virtuoI Insenificonce

the Farmer-Labor Party lost a
really colorful leader, who had
been acceptable in many ways to
many Republicans. Later, when
Senator Shipstead-always a
great vote getter-seeing the
handwriting on the wall, joined
the Republican Party, the bank
ruptcy Of the party was complete.
Furthermore, the party was
badly split into 4 right and left
wing. Hjalmar Petersen, recent
Farmer-Labor candidate for
Governor, and Elmer Bensen, re-
cent candidate for Senator, have
both been defeated a couple of
times in Statewide elections.
Whether the Democrats in
Minnesota can take advantage
OF the situation to become the
leading minority party In the
State remains to be seen. They
would like very much to do so.
But that party, too, has very
little to offer at present in the
way of leaders. Minnesota DEM
ocrats have not even a single
member Of the House, although
the Farmer-Laborites retained
their sole congressional district
In the recent election.
In New York the American
Labor party certainly demon
strated its nuisance value to the
Democrats in the recent election.
Its candidate for Governor, Dean
Alfange, received about 100000
votes. The party, however, has
only one member of the House,
Representative Marcantonio. It
has 4 Mayor OF New York City,
Mayor La Guardia, but that Is
only because the Republicans
joined last year In his support
against the Democratic candi-
date.
COP Row Shapes Up.
How much influence the party
will retain is another thing. One
wing of the Democratic party,
led by State Chairman James A.
Farley, fatty declined to yield to
the American Labor party when
it came to the nomination of a
gubernatorial candidate. So the
Labor party put up Mr.. Alfange.
which contributed to the large
plurality of Thomas E. Dewey.
Republican Governor -elect. Just
what 1t got the Labor party, how
ever, is not now easily discern
1ble. Mr.. Farley and his organi-
zation still hold on, and will con-
tinue to do 50.
When the Republicans gather
In st. Louis for their national
committee meeting to select =
successor to the national chair
man, Representative Joseph w.
Martin, jr., the old isolationist
and anti-isolati ZIONIST row may
crop up again.
Werner Schroeder, national
committeeman from Illinois. is
being put forward as a likely
choice for chairman. He halls
from Chicago and the State Of
Senator Brooks, strong isolation
ist in the past. This is not likely
to please Wendell l.. Willkie, the
titular head OF the COP as It's
last presidential nominee, who
has been fighting strenuously to
get the party away from its
isolationist stand of the last
score Of years. 1t may be that q
first-class row will develop.

ing that our troops and their sup
plies are even more adequate for
defensive purposes than planned
and that the offensive into Southern
Europe may get under way, sooner
than has been generally believed.
How big is our expditionary force?
Vichy propaganda reports say about
100000 men. Certainly the force
might well be of that size, judging
by the amoust of shipping said to be
involved. But whether the force is
as much as 100000 or somewhat less,
it remains the biggest single expedi-
tionary movement ever landed in
one maneuver in naval history any
where.
The public can rest assured that
it is well equipped with tanks, with
fighters and bombers, and with
plenty Of auxiliary vessels and sup
plies. The high command has plan
ned effectively but ahead lies the
real challenge-to sustain the forces
and carry on the offensive.

By CONSTANTINE BROWN.
Gen. Henri Giraud, who is re-
ported to have been named COM
mander Of anti-Vichy forces in
North Africa, is given credit in
Informed quarters for doing
more than any one else to induce
the French forces under Gen.
August Nogues to refrain from
resisting American occupation of
the principal bases on the North
African coast. His appeal has
dispelled whatever confusion and
indecision existed In the minds Of
the French officers and men on
whom Herr Hitler and Premier
Pierre Laval relied to resist the
American invasion Ito the last
man."
Gen. Giraud was captured by
the Germans near Sedan in May,
1910, and earlier this year escaped
from the chateau where he had
been kept q prisoner Of war. On
his return to Unoccupied France
he not only refused to sign a
pledge that he would not fight
against the Nazis, but also re-
fused to join the movement Of
Gen. Charles de Gaulle in spite
of the efforts to get him to asso-
ciate himself with the Free
French movement. He pleaded
Ill health and settled down" at
Lyons, taking no evident inter-
est in the war.
But he was secretly keeping in
close touch with reliable French
friends in the United States, who
kept him posted on what likely
would occur after we transferred
a sufficient force across the At
lantic. Gen. Giraud pledged him.
self to do his utmost to help our
cause and said, according to re-
liable information, that as soon
as America had regular invad-
ing force ready to move into
North Africa, he would be on
our side.
Holds French Loyalty.
Gen. 'Giraud has spent some 80
years of his military career with
professional troops in North
Africa and commanded as much
loyalty and love as the famous
French Empire builder, Gen.
Lyautey. There was no doubt
his officers and men, who were
supposed to fight us in Africa,
would follow him regardless of
the orders of Marshal Petain or
Admiral Jean Darlan.
Gen. Giraud, in his Cos, is still
full Of energy and In many quar-
ters in Washington he is being
looked on as the man who might
organize the Moroccan and Al
gerian forces into q cohesive
army to fight on the Allied side
In North Africa. There Is no at
tempt in any quarter to deny to
Gen. de Gaulle due credit
for having organized important
resistance to the Germans inside
and outside France. But, In the
event developments in North
Africa continue to be as favor
able as they have since We start
ed our landing operations, there
is the possibility of organizing
a strong French army composed
principally Of colonials.

This Changing World
Gen. Giroud Credited With Inducing French
In North Africo to Cooperate With U. S.

There is no doubt that Gen. dc
Gaulle will suggest that Gen.
Giraud take over the military
leadership Of the French fight
ing forces.
Although speculation over an
American expedition in North
Africa had been rife for some
time-the Vichy and Berlin
radios had been harping on this
for the last two weeks-the ope-
rations at Algiers must have been
a surprise to both Vichy and
Berlin.
Rommers Final Objective.
The occupation Of Algiers, and
particularly the landing fields in
the neighborhood and the rail-
way station, is considered Of ut
most Importance since 1t opens
up the possibility Of the Amer
lean forces moving swiftly east
ward toward Tunisia and the
vital port Of Bizerte.
The British under 1t. Gen. B. L.
Montgomery are pursuing the
Nazis toward Bengasi, but In re-
sponsible military quarters it is
believed the final objective of
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel Is
the little Maginot line" extend
Ing from Bizerte to Mordj, on the
fringe of the African desert.
That line. built with greater care
than the old Maginot Line, is
now fully-mamed by the French,
can defend Tunisia from an at
tack from the east while other
Notifications make 1t safe against
an attack from the sea or from
the west.
1t appears that the troops un-
der the command Of 1t. Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower and those
under Marshal Rommel have the
same objective Of seeing who can
reach Tunisia first and settle in
the African fortress.
As things have developed in
the last 48 hours, the chances are
that the French garrison in
Tunisia might fight bitterly
against Marshal Rommel If he
appears first, while there is little
If any chance that they would
attempt to resist the American
forces.
Whatever plans the Nazis and
their Vichy collaborators may
have had in regard to North
Africa appear to have crumbled.
While some commanders like
Gen Alphonse JUN, who was re-
leased from a Nazi prison camp
some nine months ago and placed
in command of the French
forces in North Africa, may de-
sire to oppose the progress Of the
American forces, it seems highly
doubtful the troops will follow
the officers who order them to
fight against the Americans.
1t thus appears that it is up to
the Germans to night alone In
North Africa. Neither the French
nor the Italians are likely to pull
the chestnuts otu Of the fire for
Herr Hitler. 1' ..-.H

By SAMUEL GRAFTON.

The following was written before
our invasion OF French North Africa.
But it still stands:
Let's try to remember how We felt
before the election. II you listen to
the Republicans, there was = good,
clean debate: the Republicans
mounted the platform, stated certain
arguments against Mr.. Roosevelt;
the people listened; they then de-
cided the Republicans were right.
I am going to put it to you that
what really happened was consider
ably more complicated.
First, remember that liberals, and
Democrats, and the little boy who
lives down the lane, were all shout
ing at Mr.. Roosevelt along with the
Republicans. You were shouting.
was shouting.
Confusion Of Shouts.
Sometimes, when the noise gets
high, it is hard to distinguish
whether 1t is an isolationist saying
that the New Deal is destroying our
liberties, or an interventionist saying
why don't we have q second front.
I want you to remember those
noises, because don't think we can
understand this election without re-
membering them.
They were not Republican noises,
exclusively. We know Republican
noises when We hear them. Forty
hour week? That was not the big
noise Of the campaign. A business
like administration? That melody
could be heard, but it was not the
dominant theme during the CAM
paign months. Can you remember
the sound of America during the
election struggle?
1t was the bitter, characteristic
lament of a people sensing them
selves to be on the defensive and
hating it.
Non-Partisan Criticism.
Why can't we hit Hitler? That
was one of the popular election
month statements. But it was not
a Republican statement; 1t was a
Democratic statement, and a non-
partisan expression, too.
This late summer was the worst
part Of the long waiting period the
democracies have been through.
Russia had gladdened us, and
then came late summer, early fall,
marked by ominous signs of disin-
tegration of our relations with Rus
sia. And nothing going right, India,
Vichy. And the country hating it,
and waiting, and hating the waiting.
And America showing the ILL
temper Of too-long waiting, the re-
action Of irritation under siege.
I suggest to you that the election
result is one small aspect of this
whole, big picture; that in 1t some
Of the stresses of this period are
made visible; but that, 1t has little
specific importance; that its I'M
portance is general; that it tells us
more about how America feels about
the war than how 1t feels about
the parties.
Vote Cold to Vote Hot.
Under the two-party system, how
can you vote for hotter war with
out voting Republican, even though,
on the cold, count-it-on-your fingers
record Of congressional action on
foreign policy, the Republican party
was much less hot than the Demo-
cratic?
