a Now Democratic Deal.

IF either Champ Clark or Claude Kitchin
l had been regular" during the period of
the war; if either Of them had given the Pres
ident that character of support which he had
right to expect from the leadership Of the
House, and il either were known to BIO i'll
sympathy with the great policies which the
administration goes before the country and the
world with. then there could be no question
concerning the fitness Of either to stand forth
as the spokesman OF the minority in the next
Congress. There might be competition be-
tween them, but there could be no deep-seat
opposition 10 either.
But these two men preferred to pursue a
course of independence" during the prosccu-
ton OF the war. They preferred to revolt,
from time to time as reminder to the Presi-
dent that he did not and could not control
their voice vote. They preferred to fight
their own party and their own administration
upon vital issues They preferred to lend aid
and comfort to the Republican opposition In
other words, neither of them kept the faith
And the result was that Clark and Kitchin
were more Of an issue in the last congress
sonal campaign than was the Presi-
dent himself. From end to end Of the coun-
try these two figures were cited by the Re-
publicans as horrible examples" and they
undoubtedly cost their party many seats in
the present House. Mr.. Clark saved his own
scat only by margin so narrow that a week
was needed to determine whether or not he
had actually been elected.
: 1t is not unnatural, therefore, that there
should be body OF Democratic Congrcssmen
who oppose bitterly the elevation Of either OF
these two gentlemen to the position OF mi
nority leader. 1t is not unnatural that they
should desire now deal and should turn
in some other direction for the man who is
for bnir ty,e
the great contests which must be waged dur
ing the coming two years. Mr.. Clark is a
veteran legislator and has warm admirers
both in Congress and out, but this alone
does not entite him to resume his old station
upon the floor. Mr.. Kitchin is a brilliant
dcbater and man Of well-tcsted courage
but he needs more than that to overcome tho
| feeling that he has been unfathful TO his
/ party and dtsloyal to his party's chosen chief
tain There would probably be little genuine
regret if both stepped back into the
| ranks.
