Churchill has an individual

Adlai Stevenson Is not, OF

writes his own, which. as you
know, is rare among politi-
clans. The nearest parallel In
our times to Adlai Stevenson
was woodrow Wilson, q gifted
writer who also wrote his own.
Very likely the people can
detect the difference In the
man who writes his own. He
speaks with unity, for the
speech is himself. Maybe that
was why. despite the spoilers
about "eggheads,' there were
some ~ million persons who
voted for Adlai Stevenson in
1852. Apparently they could

The Geneva Conference Is
ending with the usual diplo-
matte bromides. The spirit
Of Geneva has eyaporated as
did It's post-World War I
predecessor, the spirit of
Locarno."
It would be uncharitable to
blame the Western foreign
ministers. But human beings
can do little in the struggle
with destiny. The unpleasant
truth is that we are In the
midst Of a great war whose
termination cannot be fore
seen.
AS IN the 100 Years War and
the 80 Years War Of past CEN
tuiies. humanity finds itself
once more In the midst OF q
savage turmoil.
Those two gigantic conflicts
Of the past did not continue
uninterruptedly. There were
periods Of relative peace-we
now call them cold war-dur-
ing which new alignments were
made Now, Just as then, the
enemies Of yesterday become
the allies Of today and vice
versa.
Only 10 years ago, Germany,
Japan and Italy were our ere-
mics. while the USSR was our
ally. Today the nations we
regarded as our bitter enemies
have become our welcomed al
lies while the Soviet Union and
her captive allies have become
our bitter foes.
The present conflict started
Al years ago last summer when
an unknown young Croatian
student named GavriIo Princip
at SaraJevo fired the shots
which killed the heir to the

vious experiences In presidential
years. But, while the Republic
can vote In the House was 22i.
1t wasn't very different from
their 222 vote in 1912, 10 years
before. AS for the Democrats.
their 213 in 1852 was about the
same as they got 20 years be-
fore, in 1880, when they won
2l4 seats and then took con-
troll Of the House by reason of
deaths
Coming up to 1954-another
off-year election-the Demo-
Gratis made a gain from 2l3
to 232 and got control Of
the House Of Representatives.
That's the party division to-
day but, going back to 1882
when the New Deal Democrats
came into power. 1t will be
found that the Democrats ex-
ceeded that number Of seats
in 1898. 1870. 1914, 1948 and
1850. Also during every elec-
ton from 1882 to 1862 they
had the political power Of the
White House.
Enough data have been
recorded here TO show how
utterly impossible it Is to de-
tect a national trend In con-
gressional elections in of
years. So. when it comes to
drawing national conclusions
from elections Of mayors. gov
ernors. county supervisors and
State legislators In q hand
full Of States, one wonders
what research. II any, into
past records the political au-
thorities of today are doing
when they come forward with
claims about a national
trend
About all that can be de-
duced Is that the two major
parties are about equally di-
yided. There were more reg
istered Republicans than
Democrats in the Nation In
1882. but q Democratic Presi-
dent was elected. There were
more registered Democrats
than Republicans In the coun-
try in 1852. but a Republican
President was elected. More
and more voters show an IN
dependence of party afiilia-
ton in presidential elections.

A lot Of bunkum Is being ut
tered by some politicians who
ought to know better as to the
trend, Of the country after
an on year election. There Is
not a single indicator Of value
TO tell which party win win In
1856 If mere vote records are
taken as q etrend." "
The best politician Of the
century--the late Franklin D.
Roosevelt-was the most ar
ticulate exponent Of the idea
that off-year elections are To-
cal. and not national.
Mr. Roosevelt contended that
what happens when q presi-
dental contest Is on differs
materially from what happens
In any other elections In be-
tween. The lack Of conclusive
ness is apparent when one
looks solely, for instance, at
elections for the House Of Rep
resentatives.
Thus, examining the trend"
Of the minority party-the
party out Of power in Congress
and beginning with 1886,
which was the peak year OF
Democratic Party strength, the
total number Of Republicans
elected to the House was SO.
But the next year. 1888,
when there was no presidential
campaign, the Republicans In
creased their strength In the
House to 169. This was almost
q 100 per cent gain and there
were Republicans then who.
doubtless for propaganda rea-
sons, cheered the result and
called it a trend" Yet In
1910, with the popular Wen
dell Willkie on the Republican
ticket. the Republican strength
IN the House actually dimin-
islaed to q total Of 162. AL
the talk Of "trend" In 1888
was negated, and Mr.. Roose-
velt's claim that an off-year
election for Congress was
meaningless was corroborated.
But in 1942 another en-
year - the Republicans made
another gain. They jumped
from 162 TO 400. This was q
stable increase and cause for
