about the election of jackson t tt it was futile for men of the old school to protest and misfortune for the coun try under its new rulers the people bad had spoken and this time the peoples people a will was not to be denied so in 1033 the kmer american ican people face the future under a new administration not only in their national capital but in many state capi atals as well they have been promised a 4 new deal for such was the slogan of the winning presidential candidate whether or not he will be able to carry out that promise with all its implication implications to their satisfaction remains to be seen for granting him the utmer in sincerity and honesty of purpose the fact remains reni alna that factors over which he will have no control will shape the destiny of the nation during the next third of the century and those factors rather than the actions of one man or croup group ot of men will make the new deal whatever it turns out to be there can be no doubt alit the principles of which andrew jackson was tie exponent profoundly influenced the history of the united state states during th tb third of the lie century followed 1823 1833 dot but they were merely political principles and their influence on our history was negligible compared to the influence of the so caal and economic forces which were set in motion durar durins that time it was this decade which raw a
