BENSENVILLE, ILLINOIS FRIDAY, JULY 11,. 1952 3 SECTIONS 22 PAGES 4.00 PER YEAR lOc PER COPY OFF THE Register RECORD With both great political parties meeting this month in Chi cago in a momentous political year, it might be wen for all good party people to examine their heritage and particularly to ask whether their way of thinking, if it were made to prevail, would be good for the country. Conviction is the dynamic Ingredient that makes individuals and combinations of auch as political parties, vital forces, when those convJctlonj ring true to the facts of life tho individual or party never dies.

The POWM of Iht conviction is transmitted to others who carry on. Conviction mar told Io "soul" of political party and when ihe soul it lott everything is lost. The "convktioa" of both major political parties, Republican and Democratic, is imbedded in the Declaration of Independence, made articulate in the one by Abraham Lincoln and in the other by Thomas Jefferson. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat you can be proud of thu spiritual genesis of your party and if you are the 100 per cent American that you claim you are you will realize that the founding fathers, all, subscribed to the same set of political principles. Differences arose in the practical application of those principles to the affairs of government, industry, and growing society generally.

Thoreau, one of the greatest American thinkers, wrote: "When We grow old we relax a little in our discipline and cease to obey our finer instincts." This also happens to political parties. As they grow older and as their leaders grow older, the allegiance to principle, to "conviction," relaxes and political parties "cease to obey" the great beliefs on which they were founded. Democratic party It more than hundred ytart old and ihe OOP Is approaching century mark, A "return io principle" not mean io go backward. It io renew kism, renew vigor, and reaffirm basic conviction in llghi of ot ilw present day. Because if the party is to Justify support it must demonstrate it can and will solve the need of the hour.

This requires a leadership whose feet are In the present and whose hopes look to the future. In a more homely vernacular, this is just another way of say- Ing that when you run out of gas you've got to refuel--if you want to continue on your way. This is what has been happening at the Republican convention in Chicago. Adversity Is the test ot greatness and invincibility. Split asunder as it may appear to be, the Republican party is after 40 years of "struggle with its conscience" at last getting a hold of Itself.

Its founder taldt "I am not bound to win, bui I am bound io be I am not bound to succeed, bui I am bound to live up io what light I have. I must stand with anybody who ttandi right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when goei wrong." That was Abraham Lincoln's creed and should be the creed of every true Republican. The only thing required to make it your own is courage and conviction. The first job of the Republican Vparty today is not to win, but the first job is to stand right with party principles with the philosophy of Its founder. Before it is fit to clean out the Aegean stables of the Democrats, it must see that its own are above reproach.

The metamorphosis now taking place in Chicago began in 1912 when Teddy Roosevelt bolted the party which had given him the highest honor it could accord by nominating him and electing him president, Here's what Teddy told a mass meeting In Chicago in 1912 when he was engaging in his life and death struggle with William Taft, father of the present candidate. Said Teddy: "The party belongs to the millions of the rank and file a period of change is upon us. Our opponents, the men of reaction, ask us to stand still. But we could not stanc still if we would. We must either go forward or go backward Disaster is ahead of us if we trust to the leadership 01 men whose souls are seared and whose eyes are blinded, men of cold heart and narrow mind who believe we can find safety In dull timidity and dull in action." Taft's "steamroller" of 191S was too much for Roosevelt who charged that over 80 delegates had been fraudulently seated Including the key Texas delegation.

The GOP nominated Taft Bui Teddy, IllltB with "conviction," formed hli Bull party and in November election polled than Tail, bui lost to Wilson, Demo- cral. Bui attempt io make Republican Party ihe parly of progress failed.

Even so Republicans like Borah, Norris, Johnson, LaFollette and others carried on pretty much in the Bull Moose tradition up to the time of the New Deal in 1932, which absorbed the entire progressive movement in this country, and then some, But the fact remains that in 1932 there was a political vacuum and the Democrats grasped the opportunity. Today the Republican party appeals to be moving, under a younger and fresher leadership, into new offensive positions.

We may be again approaching a political vacuum, where direct action is needed but none forthcoming, to meet the new require ments. Many progressive minded people feel that the Democrats are running out of magic. They believe that the Dems are getting their act too far off the ground and are getting tangled up in their own paraphernalia. This is beginning to frighten many in their audience. A new Republican leadership a new idea.
