It is never too early for politi
cians to begin talking about the
next presidential election, and just
now there is a surprising amount
of speculation over award of the
republican nomination in 1936.
Strangely enough, few of the
party leaders have anyone to sug
gest. The tone is one of lament
that so many of the strong men
of yesteryear either have fallen
from prestige or are passing bey
ond the eligible age, with no com
parable group of successors in
sight.
It really is a remarkable situa
tion for a party which but rec
ently boasted so rich a coterie of
outstanding Americans.
Within the memories of even
the younger voters the vast maj
ority of the concededly “great”
of the land were republicans—
using the term “great” in its ord
inary sense to denote those who !
have shown by experience the
highest qualities of leadership.
Where are they now?
President Hoover, of course, re
mains a conspicuous figure, but
the present discussions do not in
clude him prominently among ;
those who will aspire to lead in!
1936.
Supposing the traditions rule,
and Mr. Hoover is out, who re
mains among all of the republi
cans, of all factions, upon whom
the present generation has looked
as possible presidential material?
Charles G. Dawes, Dwight Mor
row, William E. Borah, George W.
Norris. Counting Hoover, here are
names to conjure with.
And in 1936 Lowden wall be 75
years old; Johnson 70; DawTes 71;
Borah 71, Norris 75, Hoover him
self 62.
Who among them will be in
the running in a country which
has formed a habit of choosing
its presidents from among men in
their early 50’s?
What of the younger genera
tion? Some thirty men have sat
in the cabinets of Harding, Cool
idge and Hoover, yet w7hat one am
