The campaign is certainly degenerating. This Is

there were also groups of New Deal "bobby sock"

squeels at appropriate intervals.

Yes, no matter what the speaker said, a pause was
enough that was the agreed signal for another dem
onstration of overwhelming vocal enthusiasm and re
vivalist campmeeting fervor.
UAD the speakers talked Chinese we doubt if the
outbursts of applause could have been more deaf
ening. In fact one of the most popular statements by Sen
ator Truman last night as far as the response was con
erned, SHOULD have been in Chinese, for it was
nothing more than a Democratic endorsement of the
basic philosophy of that ancient and crumbling Celes
tial Kingdom.
Believe it or not, the Senator from Missouri soberly
and emphatically stated, that even if Governor Dewey
WERE a more ABLE man than franklin Delano
Roosevelt a fact the speaker, of course, would be
the last to admit! that would be no excuse for choos
ing the former over the latter, because of Governor
Dewey's inexcuseable youth and lack of experience.

of the chief reasons for the largest nation in the world
being one of the most backward and the weakest.
It is also the basis of the
Senate which may be where Senator Truman picked
it up.
At any rate that rule ha3 been more responsible for
the reactionary unprogressive acts of the Upper House
than any other one factor.
Yet the Democratic candidate for Vice-President
would have the American people adopt that rule, and
apply it for the election of their President in such a
critical time as the present!

re-elect, and re-elect the man of the greater years and
the greater experience!
A more completely absurd,
iijctivaii aikiuiiiiii. iui
dent in this Democracy, has never been offered as
far as this department can recall. That reasoning
would have eliminated practically every able Presi
dent the country ever had. Yet those Los Angeleans
packed in the Shrine auditorium last night, cheered
that pronouncement to the echo as they did every
other the speaker offered
Yes, the campaign has surely fallen to a new low,
when a candidate for Vice-President who might
well be President before his term expires delib
erately urges the electorate to eliminate all considera
tions of superior ability from the qualifications of

is, is best, and change of any kind is the one unpar

Mr. Dewey Should Be Pleased
Governor Dewey really should feel complimented.
For thus far there has not been one Democratic
criticism of the man's record as a public officer, either
as District Attorney of New York City or as Governor
of the state, nor of his personal character or his high
administrative qualifications.
Not ONE.
Senator Truman, like Secretary Ickes, lambasted
all the G. 0. P. straw men, even dragging in the aging
and inconspicious William Randolph Hearst presum

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington. Oct. 17 -Good
old Dan Tobin's gentlemen of
the teamsters' union are pre-
nmori in hav
n become so ef
fulgent at the
f , opportunity of
H becoming the
e d by Mr.
Roosevelt 1 n
opening his
campaign 1 n
the usual par
tisan sense
that they beat
Paul Mallon
up a couple of
naval officers who had straggled
Into the Statler hotel here after
the speech.
The officers were looking for
a dance to which they had been
invited, tha beating being ad
ministered because they did not
have politics on their minds and
declined to answer courteously
the Inquiries of the teamsters
as to whether, as navy men,
they Intended to vote for Roose
velt. That Is the way It has been
presented to the public, but that
is not the way it happened.
"THE teamsters did not assem-
ble here for union business
purposes of their own, nor did
they come voluntarily to cheer
Mr. Roosevelt. They were or
dered to Washington by Mr.
Tobin for the special and sole
purpose of becoming a back
ground for the president's "first"
partisan effort.
Many of them were drafted
all the way across the country
by their union boss, and did not
like it. Aside from the tribula
tions of travel these days, a
few of the oast unions actually
did not have the cash in the
till to make the trip and sold
government bonds from their
treasuries to get the funds.
These especially did not care
for the honor. They cheered,
as required, but the way they
talked when they returned home
(my information comes from
union sources), Indicates not
only that L'Affalre Tobine was
less of the gala political festival
than advertised, but that there
Is a dark partisan unrest with.
in the labor crowd that has been
assumed to be wholeheartedly

THE best possible nonpartisan
authority recently has made
a check of Inner union campaign
irenas ana returned here with
doubts that put even California
and Washington in unsure cate
gories. Mr. Roosevelt is holding
a good portion of the C. I. O.
satisfactorily, but the A. F. of
L. Is pretty well split. To hold
the coast he must keep the A. F.
of L.
The diverging elements are
not running off haphazardly
but are moving deliberately and
solely on the question of what
Is best for their own unions.
The Hillman leadership Is di
rectly unpopular among all A.
F. of L. people, even those union
eers who intend to vote for Mr
R. They forsee Hillman and his
associates gathering from a
Roosevelt victory Increasing
power over all the labor move
ment, possibly absorbing It if he
can muster the power.
THE old Gompers political
leadership was unquestionably
the wisest union labor has en
Joyed in all iu history in this
country. His counsel was to
make both Republicans and
Democrats equally amenable to
labor Influence. He refused to
Indorse fully even such a purely
labor third party attempt as the
elder late Senator LaFollette
made In 1924.
The wisdom of his course lay
in the odds that sooner or later,
by strictly partisan political
alignments, labor would one
day suffer political defeat and
do its major Interest irreparable
damage. Even as far as matters
have gone in this campaign, it
is evident that A. F. of L. will
have Washington backing to as
sume leadership In labor to the
detriment of C. I. O., if Dewey
wins.
Personally. I do not fully ac
cept the evidence that the
strongest class support Mr.
Roosevelt enjoys is critically
breaking up, hut certainly the
evidence is sufficient to warn
of the possibilities of a Novem
ber 7 surprise.

Roosevelt Failures Due to
Internal Dissension Says
Republican Candidate.
Aboard Dewey Campaign
Train, Oct. 17 U.R) Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey added today
to his charge of Roosevelt ad
ministration failures at home
an accusation that its conduct
of foreign affairs' also suffers
from "constant bickering, quar
reling and back-biting" and in
ternal dissension.
The republican presidential
nominee, speaking last night on
a nationwide radio hookup from
St. Louis, said the failures he
complained of abroad could be
traced to the same conditions
which has made Roosevelt ad
ministration's record at home
"one long chapter of failure."
12 Years of It
'Tor 12 years the New Deal
has treated us to constant bick
ering, quarreling and back-biting
by the most spectacular col
lection of incompetent people
who ever held office," Dewey
charged.
"We must not trust our future
to such people as Harry Hop
kins, Madame Perkins, and Han
old L. Ickes. Certainly America
can do better. I propose that we
will do better."
It was a fighting speech with
which the New York governor
made his bid for the support of
border-state Missouri-home of
nprnnrratio. v . nr..i.ni.i
Nominee Harry S. Truman-in
; the November eloct nn
He charged that "the New
Deal has been taken over by the
combination of corrupt big city
bosses, communists and fellow
travelers." He renewed and
elaborated his charge that "the
New Deal has been afraid all
along that when the time to let
men out of the army there
would be no jobs for them."
Roosevelt Report
This response to the White
House disavowal as "unauthori
tative" his previous quotation
of Selective Service Director
MaJ. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey on
the subject of demobilization,
Dewey contended Hershey got
the idea from "a report made
public last year by Mr. Roose
velt himself." Dewey Identified
it as the report of a conference
on post war readjustment of ci
vilian and military personnel,
said I was "submitted by Mr.
Roosevelt's own uncle Frederick
A. Delano," and quoted it as
saying:
"Despite compelling reasons
for rapid military demobiliza
tion, the prospects of economic
and Industrial dislocation at the
close of the war are so grave
and the social COnseauenr n
far-reaching that a policy of or-
aeny, gradual, and if necessary,
delayed military demobilization
has been strongly advocated."
The crowd estimated at 13,
000 which packed Kiel auditor
ium loved it. When he asked
whether postwar period must
bring a return of "leaf raking
and doles," and the W.P.A. his
audience shouted a vehement
"No." They booed the mention
of Hopkins, Perkins and Ickes.
