Abstract

The Republican Party-A Stricken Mob
Hard, William | February 13, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

The Republican Party seems to be suffering from a violent attack of panic in the legislative branch, complicated by an almost equally violent attack of obstinacy in the executive branch. Both ailments go back to the same cause. They go back to the present modernistic decline and decay and, one might almost say, demise of effective party organization. This situation indeed exists almost equally in both parties. In 1920, when the Democrats were getting pounded, and when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson had fallen ill and was unable to take the field against his accusers, there was no Democratic party organization effective enough to present a really coherent and coordinated defense to the Republican attack.
