Political observers view the
Smith-Talmadge-Liberty League
attempt to block President Roose
velt’s re-nomination and to repu
diate the record of the Democratic
Party, as a possibly. successful
move to drive the Democratic Par
tv itself from control of the feder-’
al government. ° ¢ [
‘While the Smith-Talmadge~- |
liberty League campaign applaud- |
c¢d by Republicans from the side- |
lines, ostensibly is a fight againstl
Roosevelt axd the ‘New Deal” in |
the last analysis it is an attempt |
to diseredit the Dewmocratic Pa’rty's’
record since it came to power in
March, 1933. Only two classes Ofl
people could enthusiastically sup
port such an undertaking: ,thosel
‘who are innocent of the irrerpara- |
ble damage that will be suffered |
by the Democratic Party if its rec
ord is repudiated and those who‘
hope tl;e Party will be defeated at,
the polls next November. l
€ Site History
Persons conversant with politx’-l
cal history, point out that mo poli
tical Party has ever. yet voluntar
ily kicked itself in the pauts, and
no Party in this country has yet
gone before the nation admitting
that when the people granted it
power, it did not have sense enough
to earry out the mandate. Yet, if
the Philadelphia convention should
follow the adyice of the Smith-
Talmadge-Liberty League group |
denounge the record of the Demo- |
cratie Party in the last three years
aud refuse t. rTe-nominate Presi
dentew dosevel, it would, by such
action, be c%&% to the nationl
that it is uhworthy to exercise
power. and unfit.to govern the na-,
tion. Even ~‘th9 ‘fla t sscandals
of the -Grant a&mim were
not. sufficient to cause the Repub
lican Party to deny him a second
nomination—and there is no men
tion of Harding ineptiture of
ke thievery which went on in the
govarnment during his occupancy
of the White House in the Re
publican Party’s plaform of 1924.
If Republicans *had followed suc
a course in either instance, , it
would'" have been wreckegde jts|

anc such a thing.. ' |
1f the significance o™the Smith-
MTalmadge-Liberty League efforts
to repudiate the record of the
Democratic Party since 1933 is to
be properly appraised, it becomes
necessary to picture what the sit
uation would be if their efforts
are successful. If the aims of this
group are realized, it means that
not only must the Democratic Par
tv in national convention refuse
to re-nominate Mr. Roosevelt, but

FD.R ENDORSED BY
MINERS CONVENTION
Precedent Broken as Unit
ed Mine Workers Join
With Democrats
'By EDWARD J. DUFFY
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON.—(#)—The cam
paign-year congress ended its first
month Saturday largely engulfed
in the national political vortex and
mystified over how decisively party
lines might become disrupted by
November.
The possibility of party upheav
als was freshly illuttrated.
The United Mine Workers con
vention unanimously endorsed
President Roosevelt for reelection
and promised financial support
from the $2,000,000 reported in its
treasury—the first such action the
union ever took.
“Against us,” the U. M. W.
resolution said, *“are the Chambers
of Commerce, the Manufacturers
Association, the Liberty League‘
and the representative of special
interests.”
President John L. Lewis, a nom
inal republican, said the election
result would be assured if the Am
erican federation of labor would
follow suit.
President William Green of the
federation, however, said it would
adhere to its traditional policy of
merely publicizing the labor rec
ords of all candidates.
On the other side, John J. Ras
kob—former democratic chairman
—had just appealed to 150,000
business, industrial and civic lead
ers to rally behind the Liberty
League campaign against Roose
velt.
Although formal declarations of
candidacy still were deferred, the

U. S. Supreme Court to
Enter Second Half of
Term This Week
By JAMES W. DOUTHAT
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON —(#)— The Su
preme Court will enter the second
half of its term Monday with a
decision on the constitutionality of
the New Deal's power program
one of its first likely pronounce
ments, |
This verdict, in a case challeng
ing the Tennessee Valley Authnr-‘
ity’s right to compete with private
utilities in the sale of surplusl
power, generally had been expect
ed January 20.
When it was not forthcom’ng,
there wwas immediate speculation
whether the breach in viewpoint
among the nine justices which was
emphasized in invalidation of the
Roosevelt farm program had xmtl
widened. |
Other New Deal cases this term
have been decided from 20 to 34
days after argument. Forty-sixl
days will have elapsed Monday |
since TVA was debated. ’
The justices held their usual
Saturday afternoon conference LO-i
day, but there was nothing to indi
cate outwardly whether the TVA |
jssue had been settled—or even
discussed at the meeting. |
The TVA ruling may have 1)0-I
tential far-reaching cnn'sc-quences!
to both the power industry and
consumers- Its reverberations a]s(};
may influence—in one direction or
another—the drive of some mom-i
