The world Ii now so sadly muddled by the plots of dema gogue and dictators, the gen ulna pessimists feel if they had their lives to life over again, they wouldn't do it. There seems to have been considerable sentiment in the sister state of California for the recent democratic burlesque at Chicago to nominate their Gov ernor for the vice presidency. This neck of the woods once had a politician, they wanted to send to Congress, for the same reason. ...

Editorial Correspondence Chicago. July 19. It looked though the Democrats, in spite of everythin jr. would end up in a blaze of glory, put on one of their super-shows, for which they are so justly famous, and indulge in what most delights the true Democratic heart, a good old rough-and-tumble, bare knurkle fight. But it was not to be I What started aa tha greatest the history of American party polities, ended aa one, on a note of sordid sadness at 2 o'clock thia rooming! From the standpoint of genuine showmanship and true drama, the Demo cratic convention of 1910, therefore, goes down in history as a dud and a wash-out t a Tes, it waa a one-man show by remote control throughout. Not only did that one man determine his own nomination, but the nomination of his running mate, the temporary chair man, the permanent chairman, tha platform and everything else, including what tha speakers should ay and what they should not, as far aa the main roles were concerned. But Democrats are not only natural showmen, they are natural rebels. Many were irked by these steam-roller tactics, which nominated their leader for a third term, and refused to give a respectful hearing to his opponents. As a whole, however, they meekly and uncomplainingly swallowed THAT. After a troubled night's sleep, and. thinking it all over they were not so disposed to swallow. Mr. Henry Wallace! So all during the day there were sub-rosa very largely grans-root Democrats of the oiu, declamatory school, damned if they were goflig to submit to thia latest ukase from the White House. No Sirl The Democratic party waa at least deserving of a DEMOCRAT, not a back-sliding Republican, to complete the party ticket, and they positively refused to submit to it I But like so many rebels within the Democratic ranks since that partv became a One-Man party, they FAILED to RECKON WITH TIIE POWER and the political skill of their party chief. For that is what defeated them, not what appeared to do so, the Bteam roller as manipulated by Messrs. Uarkley, Kelly and Hopkins. No, just before midnight triumvirate in the convention cred and thrown out in the snow! The administration machine had shot its bolt, had been brought to a complete and amazing stop, it was not certain who would win, but it was certain, AS SL'CH THINGS GO, that tha unpopular Secretary of Agricul ture would NOT. ' Then "foxv Grandpa" (we disrespectful, for the President IS started in to work I And HOW he did it! He could say nothing publicly, course, it was bad enough to have one vice presidential candi date after another admit over the air, so all the world could hear, that HE waa aubmitting to presidential dictatorship, But Mrs. Roosevelt, the deservedly popular, sincere, com pletely simple and completely COULD, and at PRECISELY Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt D1D1 Oh, not a word about the vice presidency.

Just that and nothing more, head bowed reverently aa if listening to prayer from on high, and Secretary Robert, in the limelight on the other aide, a soulful expression on his handsome, histrionic features, like the faithful Moslem turning his eyes We sa!d there was no showmanship, no drama.

And did it workt Don't ask silly questions, it. mind, at the other end of the House, KNEW it would work. . . ' And here ia how sweetly it worked.

It was largely because of this that states like Ohio, Texas and Massachusetts passed, Rparred for time in a desperate effort see the bandwagon before they But how was it AFTERWARD" There waa not a "boo in a car load" when the Wallace name was mentioned, from the basement bar of the stadium to the roof, NOT ONE1 Either all the booera left the building, or that picture of a fine, unselfish, devoted first lady of the land, pleading for unity and support with an earnestness and sincerity that could not be feigned, kept them silent. We doubt if a more startling and complete psychological flip-flop haa ever been witnessed in party politics than what transpired just after the stroke of twelve last night, and Mm. Eleanor Roosevelt was solely responsible for it. (And if she is really aa simple and ingenuous as she appears, she never realised it, for while others may shadow box and fake, put this down in your note book, the wife of Franklin Delano Roosevelt DOESN'T!) Yes, it wss an exhibition of consummate political skill, great political showmanship. the master mind at work. And then to make the One-Man performance complete, the ONE Man closed the four-day endurance contest, as only he could do it, with a fire-side chat to "my KR1ES-N-DS," which will go down in history as another of his great POLITICAL masterpieces. (We would underline ths political, because in pontics it is not what is TRUE, but what the people can be made to BELIEVE ia true that counts.) And unless we know very little about popular psychology at least 95" of the people who listened to that speech, believed every word of it, and said as he concluded: "There are the great and stirring words of a very great and self-sacrificing President" Now we shall not deny the "greatness," for that is, and for many years hss been, the present writer's belief. (Nor shall we deny any such question is primarily a matter of opinion and, therefore, subject to debate.) But we WILL deny, that last night's speech, rrinwng and inspiring as it was. represented the truth, the whole truth, and nothing BVT t truth. No, not THATl Take ths President's rationalization of his own silence these msny, msny months, for just one example That silence, according to bis own thesis, had no selfish personal or political aspects. none whteer He wished to step out. he intended fully to step out.

Jit impossible for him to as DECLARE, until the permanent organization of bia party convention bad been perfected. Now, we submit that juat ISN'T correct I Had tha President's intention been to retire, and refuse a third term, TES. Both from the standpoint of tha world situation and his country's part in it, aueh an announcement would have thrown the fat into the fire with a vengeance. the President would have virtually abdicated, and set the ahip of state adrift on tha aeaa of violence and disorder without a rud der, and with ro one in the pilot house. That no' RIGHT THINKINO President could do, nnder conditions which had coma to pass. But that, aa ha now admits, waa NOT his Intention, and since the outbreak of tha war, became less and leu hia intention. He came to feel, and wa DON'T doubt hia sincerity in this, that regardleaa of hia personal desire for a change and a rest it waa hia patriotic duty not only to atick to hia post for the remainder of hia term but for four years longer, that the wel fare of hia country and the world demanded it. Thoae who do doubt the President's sincerity in this fail to appreciate, we believe, that F.D.R. ia a ROOSEVELT, and just what it means to BE, a Roosevelt. T. R, waa the same. It waa often said of him he never really enjoyed a funeral because he couldn't be the corpse. It wasn't so much megalomania or egotism, in the common accepted aense, aa a very deep and sincere conviction that no one could do the job as it should be done, but a Roosevelt. That was the reason T. R. broke with his party and launched a new one, the Bull Moose. That is also the reason today that F.D.R. breaks with the long-established third term tradition, and starts out on his solo course. the first President in 150 years TO ASK a CONTINUOUS TENURE of a decade and one fifth. Now, it isn't true that he alone ean properly do this job, it is true fat least as we see it) that i man who ISN'T tired out, who ISN'T disposed to megalomania, who ISN'T bound to any traditional policy or party, is better qualified to do it. But that isn't Franklin Delano Roosevelt's view, and we re peat the President ia entirely sincere, and for that matter, en tirely disinterested, regarding it. He HONESTLY believes not only that no one else can do the job as he can do it, but that if Mr. Willkie and the Republi can party should be chosen for the task, it would be a calamity for the country and the world, and so in the spirit of the mos't exalted self-sacrifice, he is wilVing, himself, to essay it. It is called the Messiah complex, and every 100 Roose velt has it. Whe-e-e-w, it's hot, and, Thia has developed into terribly long-winded discourse! But that was a long-winded session last night and the night before. Didn't get back to the lake front until pretty close to 3 o'clock, in fact had to ring for the night watchman" to get into our room in both instances. But all in all it was worth it, an experience we shall not soon forget. Certain other reactions, pro and con, will have to wait for our next. R.W.R. Personal Health Service By William - .

THE CAPITAL PARADE Br JOSEPH ALSO? aa ROBCIIT KINTNER RslMSd by tha North American Nawsaapat Alliance. Inc. Washington, July 22. The President has accepted renoml nation. He now facea tha neces sity of attempting simultan eously to carry on a national po litical campaign, and to manage tha affaire of the country in a time likely to be as critical as any in our history. For any man not wholly superhuman, the prospect must be little less than appalling. For the pressure of a campaign ia always constant and grinding, while the pressure of business will be vastly in creased by the tendency of the campaign to infect with politics every move and every measure. Men who blindly detest the president, of course, assume that in his vanity and hia hunger-for power, he hoped from the start to be renominated, and always planned to run again if he could. Men close to him, how ever, have a different and a much more tenable theory. Th. problem of th. prealdnt'a be havior la to reconcile hia repeated and seemingly slncrr. aaacrtlona that h did not want a third term with th. fact that h. la now a candidate for a third term. Benalbla obaervers will grant th. president's alnoer. da sir, not to be a candidate. If only because, aa h. told Col. Prank Knoi. he thtnka ha cannot atand the strain of another four years In the White House. However grat hia ambition, no man on earth willingly ahouldera auch a burden as th president haa now shouldered. The solution of the problem, ac cording to th theory above-mentioned, la to b found in th pres ident's only serious miscalculation In th. field of foreign affairs. His en tire foreign policy, unfortunately, waa grounded In thia miscalculation. He asaumed. with all the apparently reliable vldenc on ht. Sid., that th. Oermana could not win a quick and total victory. H. auppoaed. therefor., that th. erlaia period of th war would not com. until th Industrial production of th United States had been or ganised to glv greater aid to tha atllea. until th United States was at least partly rearmtd, and above all until the election waa over. Th Battl of Flanders and the Battl of France proved the mletak. In th. president's assumption. Be cause th United State had not re armed and waa not ready to glv mora substantial aid to th allies. th.y seriously upset his foreign pol icy. They also knocked hia domestic political strategy Into s cocked hat. Hia domestic political strategy had been two-fold. First, he did not wish to commit himself not to run again because, by so doing, he feared that hia vole would lose authority In world affairs. Second, h also wished to be able to dictate his party'a platform and candidate, to tnsur that hi. policy would b continued. Unfortunately, sine h could only attain thes obectlve by paaslvely allowing hia henchmen to go delegate-hunting, his own candidacy aoon completely overshadowed th. candi date of lesser men In hia party, from s practical standpoint, the other leaders whom th Democrat might have ehoan could not attain the statur of "th champ." Then, at Philadelphia, his mistaken aaaumptlon about th course of world vent caused a sudden deviation In the course of domestic political event. Aa his leading rival himself admitted. Wendell Wlllkle waa given th Republican nomination because he had spoken frankly and boldly on th. terrible question presented by th Battl of Franc. tn winkle, the president found himself confronted with a competitor of a typ he bad not even dreamed of. The Democrat, ivarful of losing their Jobs, euddenly set up th cry that If th president did not run after cutting down every other possi bility, he would be a traitor to his party. Th president waa "damned If h. did, but worse damned If h. didn't." as one man un-frlndly to him gleefully put It. And so th president did. What tha result may be. it la lm possible to foretell. Ther are bad signs to be acen tn many place. For on thing, the president's cloaeat counsellor i. now Harry L. Hopkins, the apostl of compromise and op portunism. For another, the presi dent 1 obviously tired.
