Delegates to the democratic
convention early today, voted a
third term, in violation of Amer
ican traditions, to the White
House incumbent, and, for
themselves four years mora as
postmaster, or whatever posi
tion they now have at the fed
eral pie-counter. They were not
thinking of the nation, or the
once-great political party, but
their place on the payroll. When
they hysterically boondoogled,
cheered unders orders from
their brazen masters, and show
ed all the sterling qualities of a
rubberstamp, or a hunk of put
ty, when it came to honesty in
thinking. The convention start
ed as a fizzle, and finished as
farce, and the wrath of the
people, for their weakness, and
the ambitious impudence of
their choice, will be upon them
In November.

on the drowned man. One of
the local ambulances was sup
posed to have been called, but
so far as the two funeral homes
knew neither ambulance had
left the garage. The boy that
was supposed to have been
drowned was riding his bicycle
on the streets most of the dav.
But the calls came In to the
Chronicle office, the funeral
homes, the city hall and other
places. So If any of you were
drowned Saturday, wish you
would call in so we could tell
the people about It." (Canby.

Editorial Correspondence
Chicago, July 16. "One-Eyed" Connolly must be slipping.
He and hi navy-blue beret erashed the gate at the convention
last night, after a great deal of maneuvering. Why anyone
should try to crash the gate at THIS convention passeth all
understanding.
It's different with tha press that is paid to attend, and those
who have tickets and feel an obligation to use them. But no
such obligation rested on the heavy shoulders of "One-Eyed,"
he could have stayed in the bar and had good time, instead
of going to all that work and trouble to hear Speaker Bankhead
deliver his keynote, in the most devout Alabama camp-meeting
style. Perhaps "One-Eyed" thought it was going to be
TAL.LULAHI
Moreover, while the crowd was better than in the afternoon,
there were scores of vacant seats, and tha ushers were not all
averse to seeing them occupied. In fact an official ukase has
gone out, instructing those who have tickets but don't intend to
use them, to deliver same to the Democratic headquarters on
the 4th floor of the Stevens hotel, to the auditorium can be
filled at any and all times.
For this lack of interest, of cou.-.s, President Roosevelt
can be blamed. We sympathized with the President for not
showing his hand several months ago when to do so would have
weakened his position with his party, and the world, but there
ia no such excuse today. If ever a convention was killed by its
nominee, that is true about this one, and we fear it's never going
to be revived now, no matter what ia done. (Unless, of course,
the President should decide to commit party hari-kari and at
this lata date refuse to run !)
From the riewg standpoint there ia only one redeeming fea
ture, nothing like it hat happened before, and very likely will
never happen again.
The nearest approach to it goes back to another Roosevelt,
the late T. R., when in this same city he chose to jump on the
Bull Moose band wagon. That, too, was a one-man convention,
nothing being said and nothing being done without Teddy's
first okaying it.
But Teddy was here in Chicago, and that fact alone gave life
and color to the proceedings.
These goings-on, however, are by remote control. There was
plenty of hocus pocus and show window camouflage at Phila
delphia, when the real work was being done in various and
sundry hotel conference rooms,
hocus-pocus and show-window. There is nothing but make
believe and mumbo-jumbo out at the convention hall.
The band blares, the organ peals, there are a few cheers and
some scattering applause, but it fools no one. Everyone knows,
or think they know which amounts to the same thing, that it's
an cut ana cinea, that at the proper psychological moment the
signal will be given and F.D.R.
also know he will choose his running mate and write the platform.
If Roosevelt were here, and
ment appear, there would be a
nere ana no one expects him.
All he has here are three or
manipulated from Washington on various levers, wires and
strings, Ickes, Hopkins, Farley, Barkley, et al, the whole
performance as lacking in spark and life and vitality as a punch
ana juuy snow.
So on this, the second day, it's even more a "wash-out" than
on Day No. 1, scalpers tickets to the Big Show have de
clined from ten dollars per to a dime!
e
The usual reception to the press was held last night, the only
UNustml feature being that the bartenders also got plastered,
and the donkey frozen in the cake of ice melted down to a
sacred cow. Oh, yes, the turkey that looked so inviting proved
to be only papier mache, which isn't particularly adapted to
one-handed carving! (Lest friends, relatives and subscribers
become alarmed, let the undersigned hasten to add this is en
tirely hearsay, ye editor did not go.)
The visiting delegates are finding considerable consolation
in the fact that the Cubs are playing the Giants, and Al Jolson
opened with Ruby Keoler last night in a new show entitled
Jiang Onto lour Hat which,
report isn t bad, or isn't so good either.
No, Al and Ruby have not become reconciled, they sav.
Here ia a striking and perhaps a significant feature: no
one as yet has instructed the
Here Again, which at the. two
was the theme song. Perhaps it
the close of the show, in a final
things, but we doubt it.
For nothing could be more
visiting delegates are concerned, happy days ARE NOT here
here again. And unless we are much mistaken this goes for the
entire Democratic party, from the President down.
Yes. aa we see it. here is a
all signs fail this convention is going to end in practically every
one doing what they don't want to do, but because of certain
fundamental forces at work, which can t be resisted, are going
to do.
For example. President Roosevelt really doesn t want to run
for a third term, and personally would feel like a liberated soul
if he could get out of it. Hut he feels it his duty to his party
to run. for if he refused he would be letting the party down
that had so greatly honored him. That can't be done.
The same way with the delegates. at least most of them.
Certainly with those whose jobs don't depend upon the con
tinuation of the Democratic regime.
They don't like a third term and don't want one. But they
are convinced that if they don't try for that they won't get
any term at all, and they prefer any outcome to that.
So with many a wry grimace, and secret revulsion, they are
preparing to swallow the third term dose and like it, for they
are convinced that President Roosevelt is the only man in the
party who can beat Wendell Willkiel
There is a lot of loud talk about the world crisis and the need
of not changing horses in the middle of the stream, but it's only
talk. sales talk, and rationalizing the party's serious dilemma
(.iet any delegate alone and he will admit lie doesn't like the
idea of a third term, but he prefers that to Democratic defeat
and Republican victory in November.
So small wonder that this is a convention. to date, at
least, completely and entirely without even a suggestion of
spontaneous enthusiasm.
Incidentally they have an escalator leading up to the plat
form, all ready to go. if and when the President DOF.S come.
Hut the wise hoy a claim that means nothing, at these conven
tions they must prepare for EVERYTHING '. R.W.R.

I proposed the
term "Dentor," not In place of
"Doctor" to distinguish the prac

have never addressed a prac

polite title for any man or wom

I have always endeavored to
Impress upon the public the
importance of dentistry in every
body's hygiene, care and main
tenance of health, prevention of
disease. For example, some
years ago the title of my health
talk was "The Dentist. Dispen
ser of Health," and described
the case of a man who suffered
with digestive disturbance which
bothered him more and more
until his health became rerious
ly undermined. He had vari
ous laboratory tests, x-ray stu
dies, blood counts, in fact the
works, which threw no light

dental practitioner, findnig the
patient's mouth in bad condi

septic stumps extracted. The
patient consented, the dentist
extracted the infected stumps,
and presently the stomach ceas

recovered a fair appetite and
began to gain weight and lived
happily for years afterward.
As an indication of the great
value of dentistry in building,
maintaining and restoring
health, I state as a sound max

SECRETARY HOPKINS was
one of the inner circle who
encouraged Mr. Roosevelt to at
tempt to purge those Demo
craiic senators who refused to
support the court bill, the first
major political blunder of Mr.
Roosevelt. It was Hopkins him
self who undertook to tell
the Democratic voters of Iowa
to defeat Senator Guy Gillette.
The senator was re-iiected. It
was at this point that the po
litical advice of Hopkins was
taken rather than that of the
practical Jim Farley, because
the latter did not believe in
punishing Democratic senators
who disagreed with the Presi
dent. Failure of the purge fail
ed to impair Hopkins' standing
as a political strategist at the
White House, but the star of
Farley began to wane.
This week at Chicago, Farley
and Hopkins are scarcely on
speaking terms, and Hopkins is
performing for Mr. Roosevelt
what three years ago it had
been planned for Mr. Roosevelt
to be doing for Hopkins get
ting him the presidential nom
ination. INSOFAR as Oregon Is con

has treated the state well and

IF people REALLY BELIEVE

due to the Republican partv,
and that now, DUE TO THE

free to sit across a table from
its employer on terms of eaual

wages, hours and working con
ditions"; THAT '
'The American farmer has

me American people has DE
CREASED (under the New

THAT
"Our national debt Increased
by 22 billions but our other
debts decreased by 30 billions"
and (under the New Deal) "our
income increased four times as
much";
THAT
"Our national Hcf mti Via

things that Senator Barkley said

Chicago can't be blamed if they
refuse to have anything further
to do with the Republican par
ty and vote back Into power

convention, even if so doing
involves throwing overboard
our unwritten law that there
shall be no third term for ANY
PRESIDENT.
The picture he paints. fF
TRUE, is too convincing to be
disregarded.

British Make Use

London. July 18 '.-Pi The

At Chicago
(Continued from Pmsrp On
as he went because the mili
tary situation made It almost
impossible that the allies would
ever need more than naval and
air aid. Throughout the winter,
in the entire circle of American
policy-makers, the proposition
was always calmly accepted
that if the allies should need
help by methods no longer
short of war, the help would
be forthcoming from the
United States if it was within
our power.
NOW, if England should hold
out until the time when the
United States can offer effective
aid, the president may have to
explain away his sentence con
ceded to the isolationists before
he can carry his policy Into ef
fect. He felt this danger strong
ly. In the 48 hours before the
foreign relations plank was
adopted, he told one man, urg
ing him to resist the isolation
ists, that he would not run if
the platform should include a
straight pledge to peace-at-any-price.
To another he said "no
red-blooded man" could run on
such a platform. The pledge
was slightly modified to read
"peace-at-any-price except in
case of attack."
The president no doubt now
believes he can make an argu
ment that an attack has oc
curred whenever he wishes to
act decisively in the foreign
field. But the delight of the
isolationists and the plain Eng
lish of the platform both test
ify that, for the period of the
campaign at least, the president
has been committed to the pure
ly defensive policy which has
already had such sad results
abroad.
TH White House explanation of
the platform waa eomewhat
delphlc. The platform may not have
changed the presidents policy be
cause the president plana to Jettison
the platform. Jut conceivably, the
platform may not have changed the
president's policy because he plans
to reject renomlnatlon. Meanwhile,
however, the foreign policy plank
stands as another specimen of the
Incredible bungling which haa mark
ed the whole conduct of this con
vention. Three accidents largely explain It.
The first waa the assumption of the
main authority to ak for the
president by Secretary of Commerce
Harry L. Hopkins, a compromiser by
nature, and neither a wise nor an
experienced politician. The second
waa the fact that auch leading Iso
lationists aa Senator Burton K.
wheeler. Bennett Champ Clark and
Pat McCarran were also leading antl
third termers. And thethlrd waa the
selection for membership on the res
olutions committee of a large num
ber of leaders of Isolationist cast of
mind. The convention as a whole la
not Isolationist, aa a careful poll of
the delegates showed. But the reso
lutions committee waa packed, chief
ly by pure happenstance.
BECAUSE of the three aeddenta.
the problem of the foreign rela
tions plank was probably hopelesa
from the start. Senator Robest Wag
ner, chairman of the resolutlona
committee, came to Chicago with a
foreign relations plank written at the
White House, which already repre
sented a compromise on the presi
dent's part. Senators Wheeler. Clark
and othera wanted much more than
the compromise offered them. Hop
