Trouble Ahead For FD R?
JOHNNY KELLY, the Oregonian's Washington correspon.lent,
sees trouble ahead for President Roosevelt.
In his column this morning, Johnny takes a squint at the
crystal ball, and sees the Democratic party, disintegrating into
two warring factions, over the political spoils of the recent
landslide.
The young Democrats, he says, will soon be fighting the Old
Democrats; Southern Democrats
of the north; there will be a wide
and the conservative Democratic
cilible Republicans, in opposing the administration.
Thus Johnny reaches his final conclusion as follows:
"Long before President Roosevelt completes his second term,
bis present orgsnlratlon wUI be a house divided against Itself,
and there will be a new alignment In 1040."
Essentially we believe Johnny is right.
' The political revolution which started with the inauguration
of President Roosevelt in March 1933, was only halted tempor
arily by the recent election, and with the victory won, the forces
working toward a new alignment will go on.
HAD Governor Landon, as the representative of tbe western
and progressive element in the Republican party, stuck
to his guns, and refused to abdicate to the eastern Old Guard
control, the result on November 3d, might well have been, what
most political observers forecasted after the Cleveland conven
tion, a real hoss race, with Roosevelt winning, but only by a
nose.
But he lacked either the stamina, or the political vision, to
do this. . As a result lie was maneuvered into the Old Guard
camp, the two factions within the Democratio party were there
fore united, for the duration of the campaign against him, and
the resulting massacre was unavoidable.
With that pressure removed, and such an overwhelming
landslide behind them, the pro-Roosevelt supporters will now
naturally enjoy a breathing spell during which the various
selfish and conflicting factional interests will assert themselves.
'
DUT there is nothing unusual in this. .
It merely brings into shurper relief, what has been taking
place politically in this country the past three or four years,
and which has frequently been commented upon in this column.
Two new national political,
while they may or may not retain their old titles, they will
finally be entirely new in purposes and principles, one being
essentially conservative in character and the other liberal.
During the next four years,
ing in the Democratic party, will
Democrats like John W. Davis,
awl Al Smith and leave the party; while true liberals, who
remained with the Republican party in the recent campaign
there are probably precious few of them, will as the issues be
come still clearer, go over to the Roosevelt party where THEY
belong.
In other words, disintegration and integration, politically,
with the campaign over, will lie resumed. This docs mean a
now alignment in W40 perhaps in 1938. But it DOESN'T
mean, as some readers of Johnny Kelly's column may con
clude, that the now Liberal party, at- either time, will meet
defeat.
IN fact with such leadership as President Roosevelt, nationally
and internationally, can supply, this natural sloughing off
of that support given him during the recent campaign, which
was based not upon conviction, but merely partisan adherence,
will, eventually benefit both him and his party. For it will
produce a party, carrying no dead weight, but united behind
their leadership, upon the solid foundation of common aims and
identical beliefs. It will be a coherent, organic, a ooustant and
enthusiastic support.
The dilemma facing Uie new Liberal party in 1940, will be
that of a new party without the leader who has made that
party in short the- liberals will face the diffiuult problem of
finding a candidate, qualified to take President Roosevelt's
place.
A S we sec it, therefore, the close of Franklin Roosevelt's sec-
mid term, will place him in much the same position as that
occupied by his famous Roosevelt predecessor, Theodore the 1st,
when his second terra ended.
IF as now seems inevitable, Franklin D., does do well in his
second term, the man to be nominated by his party in 3940,
will bo the candidate he solccts. Tho immediate future of tho
Liberal party, will depend upon the type of man then chosen.
T. R. chose Taft. President Andrew Jackson, 100 years ago,
under similar conditions, chose an equally unfortunate successor,
and also failed to keep his own ideals dominant in' the party
after his own retirement.
In short precedent and tradition are against success of the
Liberal party, after President Roosevelt has retired from active
politics. But no one can he sure. This much is certain,
throughout his administration Franklin Roosovelt has mads an
extraordinary record of overturning tradition and precedent,
with sensational success.
Ho may avoid the errors of his predecessors when it conies
to choosing the member of the new Liberal party, who is best
fitted to carry on where he left off, and the rarty he has formed
may continue to control the government of this country, after
1940.

RICKETS, GOUT A

rickets in the

which waa pro

examination dis
closes incontro

of rlokets in

petent physicians today deem It a
duty to prescribe for every Infant a

prevent rickets. Indeed, moat phy
sicians now see to It that the pros
pective mother shall have an ade
quate dally ration of vitamin D so
that her baby shall not be born with
rickets.
Laymen and perhaps some doctors
are inclined to think of rickets merely
as deformity. While it Is true that
temporary or permanent deformities
commonly occur ..during the active
stage and afterward, rickets la in
truth a constitutional condition, a
nutritional deficiency involving the
blood, nerves, muscles, and organs
as well as teeth, spine, skull and
skeleton. (Those interested will find

It Is rather clear now that this is

But when the question of how it
can be accomplished la raised, they

AFTER all the bloody and brutal
fighting In Spain, It would be
fine If we could say that some good
will come of the victory but from
this distance It is hard to see where
the good will come from. About all
that can happen Is that the people

promises of what it will do for Eu

exchange the fairly democratic gov

that are nearly as absolute in their

An Applcgnto Post-Mortoin
To tha Editor:
Election Is over and tho results In
all but a very few Instances are ex
tremely gratifying. What a relief to
be able now to listen In on a radio
program without having our ears be
fouled by the Inane platitudes of tha
G. O. P. office-seeking orators and
the absurd twaddle of Priest Cough
lln. If the last mentioned gent
knows no more about the business
of saving souls than he does of poli
tics. It would hardly be worth any
one's time to bother with him.
Aa champion mud simmers the R
publlcans distinguished themselves in
this campaign as never before. Th
epithets . they directed at Roosevelt
and the N. R-. A. completely comprise
everything In the catalogue listed un
der the heading of dirt and filth,
though by so doing they cut their
own throats, as all fair-minded

clples of campaigning.
uoy Day nicy were simply playing
politics and the whole thing should
be quickly forgotten. In fact, they
would be terribly surprised If the
president should be small enough to
retaliate for the slurs cast upon hlm.
It really ahould not annoy a man to
be called a crook, liar. thug, com
munist, traitor, numbskull, hypocrite,
wlfe-beater, kidnaper, horsethief, pan
handler, public enemy and similar
pet nnmes. .
However, as It happens, we are very
fond of our plroto-chlettaln and back

ury and bankrupt the government,
aa well as In all of his other mean
nesses. Now a question or two encerning
the Constitution of tiie United States.
If this la as wonderful a document
aa so many assert, why do so many
amendments have to be added to It
to make It work?
If this constitution Is a true cri
terion to abide by. how doea It come
so many diverse interpretations are
rendered by our supreme court Judgef
ln defining its Intent?
If these Judges had to decide a
problem In arithmetic, there could
be but one answer.
But the Interpretation of a prob
lem of law Is so ewfused by the
wording of the constitution, that
never have all the Judftes been able
to view It in the same light Which
shows there is a acrew of two loose In
the machinery somewhere.
The constitution Is lndevd a mar
velous document and at Its inception
came as near to covering all the
ground as It was pos5lbie for an in
strument to do.
But the truth Is. that no one man
nor group of mm, no m.itt?r how

formulating a set of laws that can
be depended on to rcculnte the af
