WIItie on States Rights
These Days ~ H's sE t3ti e. soxo2;xY

II Wendell Willkie is right In his
article on States Rights, Roosevelt
ought to be reelected. He says:
The solution lies not In a weak.
ened central government. II lies
in assuring the proper use OF the
power we have deemed II wise and
necessary to grant to the federal
government.
To this, Roosevelt can reply that
he changed the American political
and economic system trying one
method and another to develop the
proper agencies OF control (the al
phabetical ones) and that now the
new way OF life is running more
smoothly than, let US say. In 1887.
IL Wiflkie believes that Roosevelt
is fundamentally right In principle.
why make a change? To support
his assumption that the states
rights issue is dead, Willkie says:
The Republican party in its be-
ginning arose from the peoples
urge to build a strong national gov
eminent to Offset the disruptive,
weakening influence OF the states
rights doctrine OF the Democratic
party. Periodically. now, in 1914,
that same Republican party is urg-
ed to dedicate itself to the doctrine
OF states rights. In the days OF
the party's founding, a strong CEN
trail government was necessary to
prevent disruption OF our political
union.
But that is not so. quote from
the Republican platform for 1850,
the year Abraham Lincoln was
nominated and elected:
THAT the maintenance inviolate
OF the rights OF the states, and es-
pecially the right OF each state to
order and control its own domes
tic institutions according to its
own Judgment exclusively. is es-
sential to that balance OF power
on which, the perfection and endur'
ance OF our political fabric de-
ponds: and we denounce the lawless
invasion by armed force OF the
soil OF any state or territory,-no
matter under what pretext, as
among the gravest OF crimes"
Wilkes confusion arises from
the fact that the Republicans at
that time opposed disunion and
secession which they held In alb
horrence. Wendell Wllkie In these
instructions to the Republican par
ty continues:
". And it means primarily the
substitution OF government by law
for government by caprice and I'm.
