Sprague Road
Fund Slated
... WASHINGTON, June 11 (JPl
Rep. Stockman (R-Ore) says the
Interior department bill now before
a senate appropriations subcommit
tee contains $150,000 for the Sprague
River road on the Klamath Indian
reservation in Oregon.
The committee put the amount in
the bill, he said, on agreement of
the state to match the amount. The
road would run from Cave mountain
to the Klamath Falls-Lakeview
highway.
Stockman said he also had
persuaded the house to earmark
$350,000 in the bill for the Ochoco
dam, a part of the Deschutes project
for which the bill contains SaSO.OTO.
Stockman said the condition of
the old dam threatens Prineville,
Ore.
Both have to be approved by the
senate.
Sponges are a low form of animal
life, with power to eat and digest.
press and radio. The deals of the
nartv bosses are reported to what
ever estent they can be learned and
exitoeed.
Next Important business Is for
the permanent chairman to take
over. He also makes a speech that
nobody pays any attention to, and
then wields the gavel for the rest of
the convention, standing front and
center on the platform with the
national committee, the party big
shots and distinguished guests be
hind him. the press at benches on
each s'de of hm and the delegates
out front on the floor.
The permanent chairman Is a
really Important gent. He Is hand
picked by the party bosses. They
want somebody who Is safe some
body who can be relied on to do the
right th'ng at the right time and
not let the situation on the floor get
out of hand. For the republicans
the permanent chairman this year
Is Rep. Joseoh W. Martin, speaker
of the house and himself a dark
horse hopeful. For the democrats,
the Hon. Sum Raybum. of Texas,
former speaker and now minority
leader of the house.
Many Committees
There are various committees. The
national committee is of course tops.
It consists of one man and one
woman the party chairman and
vice chairman for each state, terri
tory, possession and the District
of Columbia.
Election of the national chairman
for each partv is the principal func
tion of the national committee that
and raising money and handl'ng
patronage and trying to keep the
partv alive between conventions, for
which they are general committees
on arrangements.
Within each national committee,
however, are the party big wigs who
reallv pull the strings and have the
control.
Bryan, at the 11S convention of
the democrats, charged that the
convention was controlled by the
national committee, that the na
tional committee was controlled b a
sub-committee of 16. that the 16
were dominated by eight, and the
eight by Bow Murithv, and Boss
Murphy bv Thomas Fortune Ryan.
Rlrh Easterners
The so-called bosses of the 1948
conventions are the rich easterners
who are said to control republican
national committeemen from New
York, Pennsylvania and the heads
ot the big suite delegations. For the
democrats It's the bosses of the New
York. Chicago and other big city
machines. All the candidates and
their managers play a part, plus the
party leaders in congress. It is this
play of forces which really makes
Important convention decisions.
Functioning for the convention
alone there are several important
committees made up of one or two
delegates from each state.
The committee on credentials has
the Job of seeing that only duly
elected delegates and alternates are
seated and entitled to vote. If a eon
test arises within any state delega
tion, over whether one group of
delegates should be seated or an
other, the credentials committee
must settle it. A common solution
Is to seat both delegations and split
the vol between them.
Write Platform
Then there Is the resolutions com.
mlttee. Its Job Is to write the party
platform. Membership of this com
mittee is usuall7 announced In ad
vance ot the convention so that It
can meet, hold hearings, allow in
terested pressure groups to testify
on what they want In or out of the
platform, and so do a real Job ot
preparing what should be an Im
portant document.
The first partv platform was writ
ten In 1640. It was only a few hun
dred words lone. Todav platforms
run S0OO to 10.000 words. In prac
tice, the nlatform Is nsuslly a w'shv
washv document aimed to please
everybody, but realty satisfying no
body. Like the keynote speech. It Is
usually forgotten as soon as written,
and It Is a perfectly meaningless
document.
There have been few times when
the platform as written bv the reso
lutions comm'ttee has not been ac
eeotable to the convention or the
winning candidate.
Demo Fight
In 1924 th democrats had a fi?ht
over whether or not to denounce the
Ku Klux Klan bv name. The vote
was 543 720 for naming it, 543 3 30
for not naming It In the camonlgn.
however. Cand'dnte John W. Davis
denounced the Klan bv name, so the
fight was all for nothing.
In 1930 the republicans had a
similar fight over endorsing or con
demning the League of Nations. It
was solved bv a compromise which
meant nothing because in the cam
paign Warren O. Harding came out
openly against the league.
The theory Is that the platform
must be written and adopted before
the candidate Is named, and It
usually works that way.
Tomorrow: Fleeting the
candidate.
