Lesson to Parties Predicts a Victory in War Declares Roosevelt Eliminated
A Washington Post dispatch from Louisville notes Roosevelt’s elimination as a political force after 1912, with Democrats riding a minority surge to a national majority. The piece argues Republicans may recover by abandoning Trumplike excess while Democrats gain through constructive legislation. It predicts tariffs in 1316 and a postwar business mood improving as Europe settles. The column critiques Roosevelt’s tactics, lauds Wilson’s leadership, and warns Republicans to avoid overreaching while Democrats pursue steady reform.
