Abstract

Editorial Paragraphs

The article presents information on various political developments. In the dual between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover it is but the truth that the Governor of New York has forced the fighting and taken the lead, as almost every newspaper poll shows. The defeat of Senator James Gillespie Blaine and Governor Philip La Follette in the Wisconsin Republican primary is a hard blow to liberals everywhere, even if one finds the explanation in the great increase in the Democratic primary balloting. Nicholas Murray Butler is entitled to credit for having proposed a plan for State liquor-traffic control, following the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Undoubtedly some will sneer at him for assuming that the Eighteenth Amendment is within reasonable sight of being repealed.
