Well-Used Word

Spangler's forte is organization.
and that's the word he uses most.
1.-THE precinct is the squad" he
said. IF you have good squads, you
have good regiment.
He has reduced the training of
the squad to a very simple formula.
Get one energetic worker and as
sign him or her 20 Republican vot-
ers. See that they vote. Mark Han
ma used that system. 1t works. Iowa
tSpangler's own state) uses it. Many
others do. =
The important word in the last
sentence is 'do." Important because
Spangler used it in the present tense.
In the days of the Blue Eagle, and
for many years thereafter, any
statement about an effective Repub-
lican political organization had TO be
used in the past tense. But tempora
mutantur, again. Sangler believes
that times have changed and have
been changing for some time.
Chairman Spangler is not starting
at scratch with his organizing, 26
states which have elected Republi-
can governors, he pointed out to me,
already have pretty good machines
which are working now,
The chairman is a typical, sue
cessful businessman of a middle
sized town Cedar Rapids, Iowa. in
the Middle West. His speech and
his speeches are pretty much basic
English except when he rises to
pronounce on party principles.
Then he uses good old substantial
political phrases marshaled in the
conventional manner. But like all
pre-conventon committee chairman
ships, his job is eschewing the over
specific. He can talk about candi-
dates, but not a candidate, pro or
con; he can talk about platforms
but not about planlss.
He is, according to his associates,
a man Of action. Already he has
visited all Of the northern states
and that is what he is still doing,
dividing his time between the field
and the Washington office. He likes

The Farm Problem
The farm organizations will be
handled en- masse, Representatives
of all the farm organizations have
been invited to attend meeting In
Chicago early next month in order to
express their views for possible in
corporation in the party platform.
They will meet with members Of the
Republican postwar advisory coun-
ellis committee on agriculture. Its
chairman is Governor Hickenlooper.
who succeeded the late Senator Nc
Nary. father Of the farm bloc.
Agriculture Is one Of the eight
problems" listed by the advisory
council at its meeting in September.
1912. The others are foreign pol
icy. postwar industry and employ
ment; social welfare; federal adj
ministration; finance and currency;
labor; agriculture; and international
economic problems.
A staff Of experts under Dr. Neil
Carothers. dean Of the school Of BUSH
ness OF Lehigh university, has been
assembled, who assist the council,
which hopes to produce timber for
the party platform by scientific
methods.
Chairman Spangler admits that we
face world in which conditions
which will affect the election in No
vember are likely to change radical
ly, perhaps before the conventions;
certainly before the elections. But
he believes that insofar as possible,
the various problems" listed by the
advisory committee should be
threshed out in as much detail as
possible before the convention so
that they will not have to be dealt
with specifically at the last mo-
ment by the platform committee at
the convention.
Votes and Relief
1--WE made several surveys COW
ering different periods in the East
a few years ago." he said, land we
found that the New Deal vote rose
In direct proportion with the amount
OF relief in the community. The
people were grateful for the help
they got and gave Roosevelt the
credit; they forgot that it was the
peoples money they were spending.
When they are able to pay their own
bills, earn enough for what they
need, they want to be independent
They want to shake off government
control and regulation.
Mr.. Spangler and his associates
believe that the Republican party
will win--hrst, because of the ener-
getic response Of people which has
made the rebuilding Of an effective
political organization possible; Sec
ond, because they consider trends
already evident are factual indi-
cation of a turn of the tide.
Mr. Spangler did not attempt to
argue the case OF the Republican
party, nor are these columns a place
for such a political debate, but any
one can see that he and his staff be-
lieve that they share a popular feel
ing that "the times have changed"
"et nos mutamur ills" (and we are
changed with them). The eve"
meaning voting majority of the
American people.
OF such is the optimism which fills
the workshop on Connecticut avenue
where the one concern is the practi-
cal side Of politics--there, where the
shadow Of the Blue Eagle once fell
I across the portals. not even the fut-
ter of a ghostly feather can now be
detected.

Washington. d. G.
On 4 recent sunshiny Washington
afternoon. made a pilgrimage to
the Republican National committee
headquarters. As entered the
white-pillared portal Of the modest
little house they have rented on Con-
nectcut avenue, a number OF
thoughts, which may be omens of
good or Ill in the coming election,
doated into my ken.
The house was once private
home but now 1t Is situated amidst
shops and restaurants and looks
across the avenue toward towering
apartment house taken over by the
Civilian Defense administration.
A I assembled the stairway to the
second floor office Of Chairman Har-
Eison Spangler. memories rushed
about me and I was transported
back to the days when the Republi-
can party was suffering in the slough
of its deepest despond. The rooms
about me then housed one Of the
many trade organizations created by
that wonderful and awful National
Recovery administration presided
over by the late and stormy Gen.
eral Iron Pants johnson.
And later, as / chatted with Mr..
Spangler. was reminded Of another
circumstance. gently symbolic OF
the days when the elephant sulked,
impotent and neglected, in his tent
the Republican committee was
forced to move some two years ago
from its snappier. modern quarters
on Lafayette Square where it could
gaze longingly at the White House
on the right hand, and not too hope
fully at the United States Chamber
Of Commerce on the other. The
reason the committee had to move
was because it was only tenant on
Lafayette Square and the CIO
(Which had tossed a million into the
Democratic electioneering fund.- was
the landlord.
Temporal mutantur.
But II the times and the quarters
have changed, SO have Republican
spirits. Roosevelt won't carry two
states Cor was it five?)," ! was con-
rG6ant Ally informed by one Of the
modest laborers in the COP Vine
yard.
Harrison Spangler made no tall
predictions TO me. He made no pre-
dictions at all. He simply told me
about what he is doing, the results
so far obtained. He has simple
faith that results already achieved
are the precursors of victory.

chicago, Nov. 9.-Evangelization through Christian teaching of chil- dren, youth and adults by teachers of American Sunday schools is be- ing emphasized through the Ma tionaI Mission to Christian Teachers program now in it's sixth week in B key cities of 26 states, according to Ehe Rev. Dr. Harry c. Munro of the International Council of Religi- ous Education, joint sponsor of the Mission with the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in Amer ica. ~ e"& '-@ ',~,s
 The 100000 Sunday school teach CTS and officers are being called to cooperate with their pastors in winning boys and girls to Christ" and in reaching the unchurched with Christian teaching" through the follow-up program of the Ma tional Mission. City and county councils of churches and religious education are planning similar meetings to ''inspire and vitalize the lay teacher-evangelist of local con- gregations."
 Begun early in October, the Na- tional Missions series of three-day meetings will close December. 1. Protestant leaders who have formed the teams of speakers for the meet ings have reported enthusiastic" responses from the hundreds of key teachers and pastors attending, Dr. Munro declared.
 "A world at war confronts the churches with heavy responsibilities. but they dare not make secondary their chief job of winning people to Christ" stated the Rev. Dr. Jesse M. Bader. secretary of evangelism for the Federal Council of Churches. The long-term program begun in the National Mission to Christian Teachers must involve relationships of parent-teacher, pastor teacher, leader-child and parent-child until millions of new disciples are won for Christ and the Church
 'The follow-up program of the Mission meetings aims to bring to every Sunday school teacher that deep spiritual preparation which will make his teaching truly representa- tive of the Great Teacher" Dr. Bader said. "This effort is 8 call to 8 Christian educational program which is deeply and vitally evan gelistic and to an evangelism which is soundly educational"

 eve are now in the midst of the Sixth War Loan Campaign wnereln Connecticut's quota has been set at S375. .0OO 900. Of that amount, Con" necticut industry is called upon 10 buy $3O,OO0, 900 in E Bonds of the e5i .OOO, ,0OO quota for the State. TO reach this high goal during the hoi- iday season, amid all the urges TOT gift-spending, will be no easy task. .. AS a special campaign booster heartily recommend that at least a portion of all Christmas or year. end bonuses gven this year be paid in War Bonds. (Amendment 70 WTR Order No. 10 provides that Christmas or year-end bonuses or $25 or less may be paid without WLB approval.) If every company in the state giving year-end or Christmas bonuses gave portion of it in War Bonds, the campaign would be thousands of dollars nearer its goal"
