control” in a sense means precisely
that he is "o u t of the club.” For it
speaks to his inability to come to
terms with W ashington’ s entren
ched powers, with its congressional
moguls, pundits and tenured
bureaucrats; with, in other words,
the people who can help government
w ork, o f underm ine it w ith em-
brassing leaks, programmed failures
and countervailing loyalities.
I his process is nothing new in the
C apital. M ark Twain mercilessly
lampooned
the
W ashington
establishment and its influence-
mongering 100 years ago in The
Gilded Age. But the Club survived
his satiric thrusts as easily as it sur
vived Grover Cleveland’ s civil ser
vice reforms, which were intended
to make the bureaucracy more
responsive by ending the patronage
system, and wound up only making
it more deeply entrenched.
By the end o f the last century,
Washington King makers like Ohio
Senator M ark Hanna were the
nation's real chief executives. They
would have remained so but for the
assassin's bullet which put Teddy
Roosevelt in the Oval Office. Less
than 20 years later, the Club reasser
ted its power w ith a vengeance,
when Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
led the congressional drive to
humble an independent-m inded
Woodrow Wilson.
A fte rw a rd came the weakling
presidents Harding and Coolidge,
and then a nearly continuous stream
of more forceful executives, drawn
directly from the ranks o f the Club.

The Club changed in composition
and character over those years,
grow ing vastly under F ranklin
Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson,
and gradually assuming basic
allegiance to the concept o f the
w elfare state. But it remained a
club, making decisions which affec
ted everyone, based on its own rules
and relationships. The campaign
against Carter demonstrates its con
tinuing power.
In the dog days o f August, near
convention time in a political year
full o f acrimony, some sort o f in
fighting was predictable no matter
who sat in the White House. But the
seriousness o f the dump C arter
movement is extraordinary. It has
its roots in a pervasive anxiety in
Washington over what is perceived
to be a general decline o f state
power around the world, the kind of
power that makes Washingtonians
im p o rta n t. In the minds o f
traditional power brokers, Jimmy
C arter is associated w ith that
decline.
Along with John Anderson, if for
d iffe re n t reasons, he also sym
bolizes the waning vita lity o f the
two major parties. As president he
has been neither in control of, nor
controlled by the Democratic Party
structure he ostensibly represents.
To the power brokers, moreover,
the breakdown o f the tw o-party
monopoly on domestic politics is
synonymous with the breakdown o f
a bi polar global political scheme
which
has
dom inated
the
W ashington consciousness since

Billygate, the movement to dump

the President on two grounds: elec-

low standing in the polls, the first
question ought to have been suf
ficiently answered by his siring o f
primary successes. The second may
be no more than a semantic quibble.

World War II. Decisions and allian
ces are far more problematic now
than they were in the days when
Washington and Moscow - or the
Democrats and the G .O .P . —
defined all o f the choices that mat
tered.
Carter has not succeeded in his ef
fo rt to forge an alternative ap
proach,
but
he
long
ago
acknowledged that the old solutions
to Am erica's problems were un
workable.
That, rather than “ Billygate,”
explains the fight over Democratic
Convention rules and the movement
to dump Jimmy Carter in favor o f a
bonafide Washington insider like
Edmund Muskie, Walter Mondale —
or Ted Kennedy. Carter’s cautious
appraisal o f the w orld may be
realistic, but it challenges illusions
about power in which too many
well-placed members o f the
Washington Club have a profound
stake.
