Hague Takes Stump

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. Mayor
Hague Of Jersey City now Is IN the
midst OF an election campaign
which is taking him into the key
spots of New Jersey. Surrounded by
his party stalwarts, he has been in
Middlesex County, which backslid a
little from its usual Democratic plu-
ralities last year, and on Tuesday
he'll be In Camden County, where
there are shipyards and other vital
war plants-and myriads of war
workers.
All of which may sound like a rou-
tine political bit Of news.
But to the folks who keep an OBJ
jective viewpoint on campaigns pre-
ceding a presidential election, Mayor
Hagues' tour takes ON some unusual
aspects. Unusual because Mayor
Hague's opening talk last Wednes-
day In Middlesex, II analysed with a
cold statistical eye, went 80 per cent
Tor the reelection Of F. D. r. and
SO per cent for defeat Of new con-
stitution in New Jersey.
From q Democratic standpoint
this might be taken to mean that
Mayor Hague is much surer OF q
fourth term than he Is about per-
suading the voters not to change
their present constitution. The Re-
publicans. Of course, prefer to see
Hague as fighting more strongly
against . new State charter than for
votes for Roosevelt.
It was the first time Hague has
taken the stump outside his home,
Hudson County, since 1894. He spoke
45 minutes, is Of them for F. D. r.

Pennsylvania Doubtful
BIZ Charles G.. Miller

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 7.-Po-
litical scouts Of the two parties in
Pennsylvania have reported finding
growing sentiment for the Dewey
Bricker ticket, but are not convinced
this Is strong enough today to Offset
the strength of President Roosevelt,
who has carried the State twice.
The apathy of recent elections In
this State is disappearing, leaders
at both Republican and Democratic
State headquarters say, but there
has been no decided shift in party
enrollments. In the Roosevelt
Willkie contest of 1910, 81 per cent
of the more than 5000, 900 registered
voters took part, but since then at
State elections the percentage has
dwindled. In the gubernatorial
election two years ago only So per
cent Of the qualified voters cast bal
lots.
The party workers have been sue
cessful in getting large numbers of
potential voters to register, but
whether they will be able to get
these new voters to the polling places
in November is another matter. 1t
used to be that the million or more
lead the Republicans have over
Democrats in Pennsylvania assured
election to all Republicans in a
Statewide contest. The last avail
able oficial registration figures show
the Republicans lead by 691 OPS
voters.
Philadelphia Republicans OUT
number Democrats there by 256, 600,
but that city has twice given Roose-
welt plurality. An independent
newspaper poll there recently indi-
Gated that 81 per cent Of the voters
favor the election of the President
and 26 per cent Dewey while the
remainder is undecided or for minor
party candidates. The poll has
alarmed some Republican leaders
who have been claiming Philadel-
phia was definitely for the Dewey
ticket. II the Roosevelt percentage
holds 1t would mean Democratic
victory In the States largest city
OF quarter Of million votes as
compared with 177.O00 in 1910.

tically endless. In 3 day when
women remained in the background,
she was known as a virago for her
championship OF her husband to
Congressman, cabinet members and
even Presidents.
This being so, one wonders why,
with 50 much rich biographical ma
terial to his hand, Mr.. Stone has
chosen the watered- down novel
form, has preferred to interpolate
his own incoming rhapsodies and
imaginary love scenes for the solid
facts. But there 1t is. You sec

Earth and High Heaven
By G,pethalyn Graham lip
ptncott. $780,
Under high flown and poetic
title that prejudiced this reviewer
against the book. Gwethalyn Ora
ham has written moving love story
totally without the usual rose-and-
glove hokum.
It's rather amazing but within
the confines Of the boy meets loses
gets-girl formula Miss Graham
creates set of characters who act
like people you know and at the
same time succeeds at something
at which thousand socially sig
nifcant pens and typewriters have
failed.
Briefly, the situation with which
the author concerns herself is that
of a high-born girl of a Protestant
Montreal family who falls in love
with an ordinary young lawyer
whose parents happened to be Jew
ish. The story might <have been
handled as you expect. 1t isn't.
Never once does the author forsake
the personal viewpoint for an ex-
cursion into futile polemics. Tho
result of reading the book is that
you're likely to feel greater en-
barrassment the next time some ono
you know draws from the Nazi vo-
cabulary to refer to a person of q
different race.
The publishers note that Miss
Graham's favorite author is STEM
dial, an unusual qualification for
the writer of modern love story,
but one that ought to be widely
adopted. 1t may well be the reason
Miss Graham works in terms of
emotion and not sentimentality.
Despite its title. Earth and High
Heaven is worth your attention.

This book belongs to a half
species with which the reviewer has
very little sympathy-the fictionized
biography. There seems to be small
reason in presenting real persons
in terms Of an authors arbitrary
imaginings, and the author who
takes the mode can well fall under
the suspicion of being too lazy to
construct the framework of a
genuine novel or stick to. the
straight spading of facts required
to 1ill out genuine biography
Certainly, any one with definite
tastes rs to reading matter will In
stinctively reject the hybrid form.
The subject in the present case
is Jessie Benton Fremont, daughter
of Senator Tom Benton and wife
of Gen. John Charles Fremont
Also. one is tempted to add, literary
inamorata of Irving Stone, for Mr..
Stone shows all the symptoms of
having fallen in love with his
heroine. The great reason for his
admiration Is expressed in his title
Jessie, in his eyes, was a woman
who simply groveled in worship of
her husband. He interprets her
solely in terms of this alteration.

The Story Of
Thomos (. Dewey

By Rupert Hughes (Grossett
& Dunlap: ST.
Dewey
By Stanley Walker (Whittte-
Sey.: s250.)
Each OF these books is presented
by its publisher as the first biog-
raphy" of the Republican candidate
for the presidency. The truth seems
to be that the first biography of Mr..
Dewey remains to be written.
Both of the present volumes con-
tains much biographical data con-
corning their subject, but little, II
any, that is not known to most
newspaper readers. And neither is
a full-length biography in the gen.
orally accepted sense-that is, in
the sense of fullness as opposed to
the sense of lengthiness.
OF the two the Hughes biography
is the fuller. 1t presents consider
able information about Dewey, man
and boy. that is not to be found in
the Walker work But 1t handicaps
itSeH py presenting 1tS subject as
just too, too wonderful
The Walker book is more objective
and has the added advantage Of
containing the texts of many Of
Gov. Dewey's speeches. But AS
pages of speeches do not stretch a
205-page biographical sketch into a
full-length biographical portrait.
After all this has been said, how
eyer, the fact remains that both
volumes are interesting to read and
handy for reference. And on that
basis-but not as full-length biog-
raphies-they are recommended.
