This was political smog; the voters would have to locate their own course through it. Most would grant that Republicans generally are good administrators. Most would grant that Republicans feel a full measure of responsibility. The real measure of the party is whether it realizes its sense of duty to all the people (and not just to the few, as in its high tariff days) and whether it has grown apace with a nation which has become so much larger and complex since the days of McKinley, or even the days of Herbert Hoover and Mr. A. W. Mellon.
