It is the common experience of those who have worked with the foreign-born voter that he usually is responsive to this kind of appeal. Is it not really a tribute to ourselves, as well as an index of his own idea of what “America” stands for, that he acts at the ballot box as if he would like to see these things incarnated in the life of his adopted country? Mr. Bennet went on to say that “we learn, certainly, concerning our most recent citizens, from the Hearst vote”: 1. They are independent voters. 2. They are not constrained to remain in the party in power nationally. 3. Nor do they remain with a party simply because it is usually dominant locally. 4. They are not afraid to sacrifice immediate possible benefit by attaching themselves to a lesser party and temporary movement. 5. They are moved by appeals to good citizenship. 6. They are quite certain to range themselves on the right side of a question of morals. 7. A certain proportion of them are moved by direct appeals, based on alleged class distinctions. 8. The thinly veiled policy of license advanced by the Tammany candidate did not draw them from Mr. Hearst, though he vigorously condemned license and its advocacy. And Mr. Bennet added, “these things have been proved concerning the immigrant. Without going into specifications, which are, however, well understood locally, these things are _not_ proved”: 1. That he always votes for a fellow countryman or a coreligionist. 2. That he can be invariably stampeded by a race or religious issue. 3. That he votes blindly. SOME RESULTS FROM CLEVELAND It is impossible to forecast the working out in our politics of the passions aroused by the World War among the various racial groups by the relations and enmities of their respective fatherlands in that vast turmoil, and the effects of the behavior of native-American elements toward particular races, and even toward “foreigners” generally. It is evident that for any intelligent understanding of what, in the long run and under approximately normal conditions, are the political attitudes and activities, we must derive our facts largely from an earlier period--at least antedating the armistice and the bitter conflicts growing out of the Peace Treaty and the partisanship characterizing the controversy about the League of Nations which so greatly confused the issues in the presidential election of 1920.
