Abstract

The Rout of Republicanism

The U.S. Republicans bitterly regret that they are not proving to be the party of business, receiving the active support of just ordinary business men. Local communities want so much from the U.S. Congress and the Administration in the way of help and cooperation that organizations of local business men are supporting the Democratic candidate for Congress. They do this frankly on the ground that a Democrat can get more out of Washington than a Republican. The real motive behind the formation of the American Liberty League was not to influence the present campaign, but to make certain that the Republican Party for the next two years would remain under reactionary control. The league is attempting to determine the issue on which the next Presidential election will be fought.
