It is plain that the politicians who manage and manipulate these sordid affairs were guilty of a horrible blunder when they set the precedent of permitting them to be broadcast, and they will doubtless answer for it on that last dreadful day when the troops battle vainly to defend some convention hail against hordes of infuriated Americans armed with axes, pitchforks, and legs wrenched violently from their radio cabinets. Heretofore each major crisis in American history has produced leaders of sufficient intelligence to understand it and ample courage to cope with it.
