"Roosevelt Era Is Dead
/#
The traditional ferment of a naUonal political convention ha. long
been noted as a lot of wasted motion. Energy and thought designed
to favorably present various candidates or to effecUvely present pol
itical ideas for Inclusion in the literary document known a. The
platform’ seem like a large order of unnecessary exercise For the
candidate and the platform, when finally selected, are designed for
a single purpose the winning or securing of political patronage, ad
vantage and position.
. .
The Republican convention is an example that might be used in
measure
Before, during and after the political deliberations, from which
Dewey and Warren came forth as the winning candidates, hours ot
radio time dissected, scrutinised and surmised the goings-on. Blan
ket coverage of all stations except the smaller ones replaced pro
grams which radio addicts sorely missed. And the sum of influence
that the network splurge occasioned seemed to be, mostly, that people
other than Republican partisans realised there was a lot of noise
to herald the fact that a couple of candidates were being selected.
But what contrast the current Democratic convention!
There are many sidelights to the doings at the 1948 convention
city, Philadelphia. And many a repercussion will be felt between now
and November, because of these doings.
The determined talk of replacing President Truman as a party
standard-bearer has succeeded in widely disrupting once bold ranks
of Democrats. That it was talk is highlighted by the fact that per
sistent attempts to “draft” an opposition candidate only brought
forth refusals by such wanted men as Elsenhower and Douglas and
only the tiny voice of Senator Claude Pepper saying, “O. K„ I'll run.
You talked me Into it,“after someone reportedly suggested the Florica
firecracker for the Job of stopping Truman.
Pepper was once fondly regarded as a liberal. He was even sug
gested as a running mate for Henry Wallace, in the new party. With
his offer to put his name in the ring, "to keep alive the Roosevelt
tradition", it proves out that the presidential bee did slip under his
bonnet and he was only awaiting the proper circumstances.
The Roosevelt tradition, this year, has come in for quite a belab
oring. One of the Roosevelt sons .assuming an inept role of pres
ident-maker, had spearheaded a drive to boot Truman from his seat
of power and only succeeded in emphasizing his political ineptness
when the dark horse he was grandly grooming thumbed his nose at
the race.
The Republican convention took so many cracks at the Roosevelt
tradition that it seemed FDR was still around, waiting for his turn
at the microphone to blast and level the forbidding bogeymen so
built up, with a few incisive remarks.
The Democrats, with their bickering and disunity, seem a far cry
from the surging strength that so inspired the voters during tne
Roosevelt era. In the uninspired, slogging spirit of its convention,
the difference is shown.
Come what may by the tides of politics before the next presidential
election, one fact is now stratified: "The Roosevelt Era is Dead!”
