Cl. (). P. LEADERS DISAGREE ON PROSPECTS
FOR PARTY
By Byron Price
What are the republicans throughout the country think
ing todav? That is a prime political question, for several
reasons.
The republican leaders very much want to know, for
the natural reason that the\ want guidance foi 1936. The
democratic leaders are interested tor the unusual reason that
Mr. Roosevelt had important republican support in 1932.
and apparently counts on having it again next year.
There is no intention to answer the question in these
columns. What is presented below may or may not be re
presentative of republican thoughts generally. It consists of
excerpts from letters received recently from various repub
licans, and it is interesting for variety and for its many ex
pressions of uncertainty.
From a westerner who held high office under a former
administration: “There is an undercurrent among republi
cans that the next republican candidate for President should
be a safe and sane compromise between the old-fashioned
stand-patter and the extreme liberal of the Borah or Norris
type. The new deal does not seem to be very popular in
this state. However, it is too soon to assume that President
Roosevelt has lost the major part of his following here."
From a mid-western defeated nominee for governor: "It
is my opinion that in the last two or three months especially
the thinking people have become far more conservative,
while those at the more extreme have drifted far away from
Roosevelt and have become more radical as followers of men
like Long and Coughlin. To some extent the same situation
can be found in the republican party. Most republicans in
the state believe the republican party must not attempt any
cheap imitation of the new deal; that it must be the conserva
tive party.”
From a far western congressman: “It is clear that an
awful mess is brewing. Roosevelt is losing ground rap
idly.”
From a north-western editor: “The 1936 republican
presidential candidate must be of the Nye-Norris type of
mind to carry this state. He need not be a Roosevelt, for
the state as a whole undoubtedly thinks less of Roosevelt to
day than it did even a year ago. On the other hand, many
feel the very food they are eating comes from Roosevelt.’

From a one-time cabinet member: “Since last year’s
congressional election, when the republicans made such a
pitiful showing, nothing has been done by the organization
leaders (in this state) so far as I know, to arouse the leth
argy or quicken the spirit of their followers. One particul
arly discouraging feature is the fact that many former re
publicans have registered as democrats in the hope of being
permitted to benefit in some manner from the relief funds.”
From a west coast business man: “The republicans, so
far as I can find out, are doing nothing in this state. There
is a general feeling that the party should have a more liberal
progressive and aggressive leadership, but I cannot see that
anybody is developing this.”
From another northwestern editor: “My guess is that
unless the progressively inclined voters are alienated by the
Roosevelt leadership, the alignment will continue about as it
is. The governor has gone along in some ways very definite
ly with the President and, while in other ways he is a con
servative, his identification with the Roosevelt administra
tion was enough to put him over again.”
Finally, from a once highly prominent old guard sena
tor: “I am entirely out of politics and have not even attend
ed a meeting for a year.”
I)II) YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Continual striving, pounding away and keep going are
the things that eventually win.
I always pays to read the advertisements. They tell
of merchandise or ervice that is really better.
It seems there is no longer anything holy about New
Dealers and Brain Trusters.
Good roads mean so much to a community; they are
worth every effort that is put forth to get them.
