City Hall"
Once an ardent warrior
against machine politics, Doug
las is today the Illinois DEMO-
cratic candidate for the us.
Senate, standard bearer of the
party, defender of the Faith.
AS feat in political GYM
nastics, we might examine this
remarkable back-flip and the
making of the man who is ,an-
doubtedly the classic opporbu-
mist in Illinois politics today.
TO SIT with the mighty, 10
hand out bit of patronage, 10
have word to say in making
policy, to be known as a "suc-
cessful politician"-these are
the drives that make Paul
Douglas tick.
Today he feels that position
almost within his grasp.
What it cost him was a COM
plete betrayal of the principles
on which his reputation as a
liberal is based.
FROM a New England child
hood, Paul Douglas landed on
the campus and stayed there
for almost 40 of his 56 years.
However, as early as 1928,
he was dabbling in politics-as
an adherent of Norman Thomas
and the Socialist Party.
In an article in New Repub-
lie on Oct. "a, 1928, Douglas
explained "Why I Am for Nor
man Thomas"
His advice to New Republic
readers was ITO build through
the years an independent and
aggressive political party. and
not to run constantly from one
Of the old parties to the other
for those shorf-run gains which
are generally illusorY."
THE 1929 crash and some
experience as an economist
a dvisor on unemployment
problems enflamed his social
iSt ardor.

tract. Company officials were
charged with:
l. Unreasonable delays in APP
plying arbitration decisions or
their outright rejection.
2. Deliberate rejection of arbi-
traitors decisions as precedents
for settlement in identical cases.
3. Refusal to settle cases at
the shop level throwing an i'm
possible load of cases to arbi-
fration.

Paul Douglas and
the Democrats

By 1882, he was the head of
COMMITTEE Of 100000 for the
Election of Thomas and Mau-
rer."
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1948-03-06

SIX years later, we find
Douglas in the City Council as
alderman from the 5th Ward.
He won that post with quail
fled support from the Demo-
cratic Party.
The machine dealt with him
gingerly as a strange, new kind
of bird elected under the ban
ner of reform"
But his aldermanic career
d939-42) was undistinguished
except for some incidents. that
gave the city a few laughs.
AT one time, the City Coua-
ell was engaged IN an "eeon-
omy" drive. Alderman Doug
las-in all seriousness-brought
in proposal to save the city
money.
Why hire 80 many bridge
tenders. he argued. One man
could hoist a whole series of
bridges by scootiag arouad on
a motorcycle
IN 1912, Douglas had the
itch again. In tn e primary, he
broke party discipline and ran
against Raymond McKeough
for the Democratic nomination
for the US. Senate. He lost
miserably.
But he campaigned hard
and dirty. And the Ratchet job
he did on McKeough-a 100
per cent New Dealer-was at
least partly responsible for the
fact that McKeough was de-
feated in the general election.
McKeough was defeated. in
cidentallY. by C.. WaYland
Brooks. the arch reactionarY
Republican. aginst whom Doug
las will run next November.
THE frustrated Douglas en-
listed in the marines shortly
after the 1912 primary. He re-
burned in November, 1916, a
chastened man.
In a series OF inner-party
sessions, Douglas pledged his
soul to the machine forever
more.
This was a new, different
party from the Roosevelt DEM
ocratic Party. Under Truman,
it had become the kind of
"tweedledummer" organization
that Roosevelt had warned
against.
But it was to this kind of
Democratic Party that Douglas
was able to pledge his full al
legiance and to ask its blessing.
Now the Douglas flip-flop
had become complete.
His reward came at a party
love feast in Springfield IN
January, where the machine
gave him its approval TO run
for the US. Senate.
DO the bosses of the Demo-
cratic machine now consider
Douglas lone of the boys?"
Or do they think, perhaps,
that there is some suspicious
trace left of Douglas past as
a socialist, a liberal, foe of
corrupt machine politics?
That question was best an
swered by Democratic County
Chairman Jacob Arvey:
There was not a murmur of

THE MEANING OF LIFE
Human beings live in the realm of meanings, and, there re many
expressions given to life. Even at it's source our experience is quail
fled by our human purposes.
If we distinguish the mistakes that IRE made from the various
experiences we have, w e can discover what it ii that the better mean
ins share in common, and what it is that the worse meanings lack.
There r. three main ties that usually affect every human being,
the first Of which is that we are living on the planet, earth, and must
develope under the restrictions and with the possibilities which our
place of habitation sets us. The other two are the fact that w are
members of the human race and human beings are living in two sexes.
The problem of love and marriage belongs to the third tie.
There are many ways in which the human being attempts to solve
these problems, but the way can be made so much brighter and easier
if YOU let Prof. Herman help you through the medium of Astrology.
