PINTER FROM IliW YORK
hr —\
-*• It is always interesting to watc*
New York, and especially so about
election time. New York state has
the greatest representaion in the
electoriai college, haying 48 votes.
For this reason, whichever party
claims New York, and the solid north
or the solid south as the case may be,
don’t have to do much hustling for
loose votes, for the election is pretty
nearly won. New Y T ork is the grand
onxinum gatherum of population,
wealth, power and influence and any
signs that eminate from this source
are regarded as especially significant
and are eagerly grasped by the in
habitants of the “provinces.”
It is then of passing interest
to note thi s juncture the disposition
of the New York Herald to hedge
on the gubernalional election. Gov
ernor Miller for re-election and for
mer Governor A1 Smith. T-he Herald
while a Republican newspaper, has
always taken a poll, on
which have at times been quite ac
curate in indicating the political
trend. The paper’s political corres
pondents are almost unanimously in
dicating it is now up to the City of
New York to say who will be the next
govenor of the state.
The Herald says by way of exten
uation that New York is ‘‘a Demo
cratis city except in National elec
tions, and thihs is not a presidents!
year. It says that Smith wil| have
to meet Miller at the Westchester
border with more than 200,000 plur
ality. Unless this is done the Her
ald declare s that it "is wholly im
probable that he fSmith) will be elec
ited.” The Heraid fails to mention
-the fact in this connection, but it is
' just as well to recall the, fafct that
.1920 was the year of the Republican
.landslide, when almost everybody
: that was elected went on enormous
majorities. But that in that elec
tion Smith received 317,000 more
votes than Miller. Moreover, in that
.same year, Smith ran ai million votes
ahead of the Democratic candidate
tor the presidency. No wonder the
Republicns are having the nightmare
and troubled dreams about whait is
-going to happen in New York on elec
tion day.
SPEAKING FOR BRUNSWICK
Even now- and then some Geor
gian who knoWg of the seaports of
.he state, has something to say of the
stfite- port matter, which as is well
wiiowu is a very live issue fti Geor
gia and which will, very likely be
fought out jn the next legislature.
Those who are impartial in this
matter, which i 3 of much vital inter
est to, the whole people of the state,
hose who have no ulterior motives,
save the common good of the state,
md who 'favor the creation of a
.;reat stake port, must confess tlia.
Brunswick, js after all, only rea,
latural seaport in Georgia! That ba
ng trim, there can be no question of
Jie fitness of Brunswick for the site
if the proposed stake port! • Her
natural advantages aS a port and a
harbor, the great river systems trib
utary to her niagniiictent land-locltetl
harbor, her reasonable costs in the
matter of maintaining depths and
hundreds of other things make this
fact so plain that all sue a bias
mind must see it! ,
However, yhat w e started out to
do, was to calf the attention of tin
public of the following, which p-.
pealed in the Macon Tclgraph of
yesterday, which in itself is worthy
if serious consideration in favor of
Brunswick, as the site for the state
pork
To the editor of the Telegraph:
Regarding the state port and why
Brunswick should'have it: Take
a, steamer down the Savannah
„to the sea,, atnd then take one
down the .Brunswick river to sea.
If you are a good judge, you will
come to .this conclusion; th;(t
God made Brunswick a harbor
for a real port. Brunswick does
not have to have a waving girl
to keep yuu from going down
tile wrong creek. Brunswick lias

THE VICTORY LOOMS BIGGER
AND BIGGER.
One week ago today, the people of
the nation marched, to the polls from
one end of America to the other
and repudiated the Republican party,
as it is at present represesnted in
Washington. When the reports
first began to come in, they did not
Indicate tb e extent of the victory,
but from day to day, up to last Sat
under every close state, every
close district, confirmed ihe truth of
one of the most remarkable politi-'
cal triumphs in in the whole history
of the Democratic party.
Even in Deleware, wher-e tho re
sult was close between Bayard and
DuPont for the United States sena
torship, Barard, Democrat, has won
away Washington where Poindexter,
Republican, has been defeated by Dill
Democrat!
What is the lesson to be learned j
from tiils victory?
The esteemed Macon Telegraph, a j
few mornings ago, expressed a very:
wholesome opinion of the situation, ■
w((ich we are inclined to think comes i
pretty near refleetng the case, as it i
is with the people of the United j
States.
Here it what theTelegra'ph says 1
about it:
Ail too often, the temptation
of the politician is to take advan
tage of confused and rcastionary
hours to ride into office. If the
confusion and reaction are not
sufficiently pronounced to pro
duce a political victory, the poli
tician goes to work and malices
them pronounced enough. There
is nothing permanent, however,
about either reaction of revolu
tion; neither can last very- long;
ajnd the man who attaches his
wagon to such a steed, will soon
er or I later find himself off the
main (highway and in the ditch.
When the spirit 'hat won the
World Wajr for America subsid
ed, there was a throwback. A
little body of men, members of
the Republican Old Guard, meet
ing around a table and reviewing
mentally the eight years of
American political life that had
gone before —eight years of De
mocracy—and considering the
strength that the ideaS s of the
wgr had given the Democrats,
considered this national throw
back with a keen sense of de-
Sight, in the anticipation of in
creasing this reactionary trend
of public thought and utilizing it
to their advantage. And never,
it would seein, j/i(the history of
politics has the deliberate ex
ploitation of popular reaction
been so definite, determined and
far-reaching, or so successful.
The Democratic party went down
as a martyr to the cause of con
tinued progress. , A large part
of the public wanted a rest from
thipking ii: terni B of moving for
“C’MGN, SI—’SALL OVER—LET’S GET BACK TO OUR OLD GAME AGAIN!”
i
ward, aiid .-the Republican party
offered a mental vacation to this
element. Mountain travel was
begining to vex, and the travel
ers wanted to turn back into the
lowlands whore the rivers ran
lazily in the sun, and where
they could put out trot-lines and
go to sleep in the shade.
On the other hand, there were
quite a number of Republicans
who opposed any letting down in
th c forward movement, but being
members of the Republican party,
naturally they would take a pride
in their own party achieved on
the high, forward road as well as
the Democratic. Those were
led to believe that a‘ Republican
victory wonkt not mean that the
American government yotild
would shoot-thechuto into tile
r valley. However, from the day
the Republicans took ever affairs
at Washington, government 'be
gun a downgrade jon.uey; and
not until it the move
ment in that direction c-cased.
But. no more than tins' was to be
expected. A politi nl platform'
based on reaction is not a ve
hicle that is destined to carry
one upwards. At best, it ties
one’s bauds, and even his feet.
There is very fittie running to be
done, even when fast movement
is not in demand. This explains
why the present regime at Wash
ington is in. such a bald fix to
day—and why the elections of
last week were so advert ed to the
Republican party. Already Presi
dent Heading stands facing his
Waterloo—his retirement in
1924. His party/dare not re-uomi
nate him two years hon.ee. The
old guard has been struck such
■a J Mow as to render the meaning
of the handwriting on the wall
unmistakF.'ile. Thc wing of the
party that presided over the de
cisions and Ff'tiona of the little
group of men that met around a
table, the men who went over to
the senate and gaHherhig up one
of its quietest; and most inactive'
members placed him jn the
White House—this clique lias
been rebuked and rejected by
the country aft the polls, and with
its downfall has come the repu
diation of the party that for tde
last two years it was guided.
Great is the fall of the old guard,
and it will take more than Trojan
horses to carry it Ua-k into the
realm of influence aid power.
