THE 1910 election was ire
l. mendously important to the
American people because II es-
tablished unlimited tenure in
the presidency.
Heretofore, the third term
had been rejected.
The tradition once broken
cannot be re-established.
The 1910 election then
marked a shift in our politics
because it became possible after
that to have a president for life
even more, to build a political
party not around a principle but
around a man.
The Democratic party I n n
really ceased to exist except In
name, and the New Deal took
its place.
And the New Deal Is Franklin
D. Roosevelt; il Is the political
manifestation of his person.
The 1914 election m arks a
further step in the revolution OF
our political institutions.
Notice on both sides that
there Is really only one voice
that speaks - the voice OF the
candidate.
IN 1914, the people are quies-
Il cent, doubtful, silent, unde-
monstrative.
Have they lost interest in the
democratic process?
Not at all, for more Ameri-
cans will vote In 1914 than In
any election in American his
tory.
What does their almost sullen
attitude mean?
The fact Is that this Is an ex-
traordinary serious business -
this 1914 election.
If the people make a mistake,
II will be everlastingly costly.
This ampaign takes on
worldwide dimensions, for the
defeat of Roosevelt will arrest
the process of specialization the
world over and II will challenge
in our own country the social
revolution of which he Is the
symbol.
II will end the domination OF
American life by the cosmopoli-
tan eccentricities Of the mid
town OF New York, with its
undue emphasis on Europe and
its astounding ignorance Of the
United States.
IN THE other hand, the de-
" feat of Dewey will necessi-
tate the reorganization Of the
opposition to Roosevelt's per-
sonal rule.
Such a defeat will prove that
the shifts In the American pop
ulation, increased urbanization,
the preoccupation with Euro
pean affairs, the breaking down
OF individualism and the accen-
tuation of racial and creedal in
terests, the huge body Of public
officials - these have left the
Republican party with insuffi-

Strain on Railroads
Heavier Than Expected
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
The strain on the Nations rail-
roads is proving even heavier than
anticipated, the Off1ce of War In
formation said yesterday.
Passenger travel on the over
burdened carriers increased 25.5 per
cent in the first three months of this
year over the same period in 1943,
whereas official forecasts had indi-
Gated is per cent Jump.
At this rate the 1914 total will ex-
ceed 10000, 900 900 passenger miles,
more than double the 1912 figure,

Organized troop movements of
100000 servicemen and women re-
quire constant service of more than
half the Pullman cars and nearly
one-thlrd of the day coaches, the
railroads reported. Furlough travel
takes about the same number of ac-
commodations on regularly sched-

Full use of Americas mighty air
fleets to build up postwar commerce
at home and abroad was recon-
mended to the Senate Military At
fairs Committee today in report
which opposed the scrapping or
grounding of billions of dollars
worth of surplus aircraft.
Even bombers and fighters with
no conversion value, the report
said, can become "a pawn in a
larger game" involving foreign
bases, landing rights. strategic min
erals and general foreign policy
Transports and lighter types of nom
combatant planes should be con-
verted to commercial use, it was
argued, as rapidly as they safely can
be released from military duty.
The report was prepared at re-
quest of the Army Air Forces, with
the concurrence of the Army Cen
eral Staff, under contract with
Harvard University's Graduate
School Of Business Administration
100-Page Survey.
The 100-page survey, with recon-
mendations for the disposal of sur
plus aircraft and major compo-
nents," was transmitted to the
Military Affairs Committee by
Chairman Murray of the War Con-
tracts Subcommittee. Senator Muir
ray noted, however, that "it does
not necessarily represent the views
of the subcommittee" or the War
Department.
Aircraft manufacturers who fear
they may be bankrupt if huge war
surpluses are dumped on the mar
ket were answered with this argu-
ment:
The widest possible usage of
surplus aircraft can in fact be help
full. to the aircraft industry In two
ways:
First, the more widespread use of
should aid in broadening
the future demand for improved
equipment with which to replace
wartime models having high opera
tional costs. Every additional plane
in civil use is. in effect, an increase
in the potential replacement mar
ket.
