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.

Oh, not a word about the vice presidency. Not a 'suggestion
of partisanship, perish the sordid thought, all praise for that
loyal aervant, Jim Farley (who had just been kicked down
stairs, by express order of the master of the White House) and a
high-minded and disinterested appeal to the people of the
United States, regardlesa of politics, to support their harassed
and patriotic President in bis hour of need and trial.

And here ia how sweetly it worked.
Before Mrs. Roosevelt appeared, the booing which greeted
the mention of Secretary Wallaee'a name was increasing by
the proverbial leaps and bounds. It was largely because of this
that states like Ohio, Texas and Massachusetts passed, Rparred

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

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.

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

convention haa begun the campaign
on an extremely low political level
stone but fools doubt the patriot
Ism of the president. Certainly a deep
sense of responsibility must fill such
a man a Franklin Rooaevelt. at such
s tim aa thts.
Tbu th question really la whether
