THE DEFENDER OF
THE CONSTITUTION

| SSN0 " iON
A good Democrat recently asked
how one could have the audacity to
vote the Democratic ticket so near
the sacred birthplace OF the Re-
publican party.
There Is very little that re-
gard as sacred-certainly nothing
OF a supernatural nature. But were
/ TO list anything in that category
II would be four documents the
Declaration OF independence. the
Constitution, Lincoln's Second In
augural, and the Gettysburg Ad-
dress. Just for good measure let
me add Mark Twain's immortal
"Huck Finn" anu TON Sawyer.
There are, think. many OF us
who are proud OF the fact that the
Republican party was formally Gre
ated In Michigan because we can
never forget that 1t was this great
party which, under Lincoln. de.
Tended the Constitution, preserved
the Union, and liberated three mil
lion human beings from slavery. II
put human, rights above property
rights in the grand manner-and
law and order above them all. But
that was long ago, and this is 1914.
am aware that there are many
people. intelligent and otherwise,
who regard Mr.. Roosevelt as
great President. In fact, among
the majority Of my own genera
ton, he and his underlings are
looking upon not only as great men.
but as a sort OF political re-incarna-
ton of Christ and his disciples.

is labeled in terms most OF which
are unprintable. Strange, too, be-
cause when Hoover was president
we were children. Yet l am one
OF those naive souls who believes
that sooner or later everything
comes out in the wash. including
presidents. And l am convinced
that the day will come when this
much abused man will emerge for
what he is and always has been-a
splendid American of the highest
type whose misfortune IL was to be
president during a world depres-
sion which Jupiter himself would
have been powerless to prevent.
Hoover. moreover, was educated as

the brand OF politics such as we
have witnessed for the last IL
years this defect is fatal.
Niccolo Machiavelli, you may re-
r-ember, was the Renaissance
statesman who promoted the theory
that the achievement OF a noble
objective is justified by ignoble
means, including murder. Yet II

who, when il came TO putting his
own ideas into practice. simply
couldn't stomach them. But unfor-

Department with the help of rural

question OF multiplication.
The Department doesn't stop

which turned the tide. Yet Mr..
Roosevelt has succeeded In getting
himself labeled The indispensable
Man. This. OF course, Is sheer
nonsense. But the fact that a
great many people have swallowed
II hook, line, and sinker is reason
enough why it's time for a change.
There are millions of Americans
who, although they nave been con.
WINGED by now that Mr.. Roosevelt
leaves much TO be desired, are
loath TO vote him down because of
one argument which the Democrats
keep hammering away at. Unable
to dent Dewey's record, they have
leveled their guns at the little
man who isn't there-yet. They
tell us II would be unwise to m.
iect an inexperienced novice into
a world crisis. II this charge OF
inexperience were followed to Its
logical conclusion, no man could
be elected president for a first
time including even Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t is specious because 1t Is based
on the assumption that We are
faced with crisis. We're not. But
the Germans and Japs are. Every
one knows we will win this war re.
CARELESS OF the election The charge
that Dewey might precipitate dis
sension among the Allies Is DOGGY
one. The Russians and English
have lived much longer as nations
than we have and are much more
familiar with the facts Of life.
They are realists. And they will
stick by us in war and in peace
just as long as 1t pays and not
day longer.
Much has been said and written
about foreign policy. But II we are
honest with ourselves we must ad-
NIT we know little about It. The
reason Is simple enough. We can't
see into the future. AS individuals
we adjust our conduct to meet ex.
ingencies as they arise and so
must nations. True, We have our
time-tested general principles
which help guide us, but these are
not the private property OF the
Democratic party.
What is reliable criterion or
choosing men capable of intelligent
leadership not only in foreign poll

to see him as he is with all his
shortcomings and to formulate

believe, fits this requirement like
a glove.
What Is the REAL issue in this
election? Just this: whether we
are going back TO constitutional
government and the genuine steady
progress 1t makes possible, or
whether we are going to continue
to drift away from II and court the
evils inherent in such a policy.
I think I'll vote for Dewey be.
