Barkley made himself the popu
lar favorite for second place- on
the ticket with a hard-swinging
keynote speech to the convention
last night. Tonight he turned over
to Rayburn the presiding officer's
gavel and the cudgel he used on
the republicans.
And Rayburn flailed away with
both.
He called the republican party
one . of "privilege and depression,
of boom and -bust.-'The American
people know their real friends and
enemies, he said, and:
"They know which party, is al

best for them whatever its mis-

never does anything for them un
less by its mistake."
With impartial vigor, the Texan
punched at Henry A. Wallace's
third party as "the pied piper of
Politburo, as "the front which
masks the communist party."
But the democrats, he said
theirs is a party of
imagination" j

Both Mr. Truman and Barkley
were getting a clearer and clearer
