IN TINS category there may be
listed from the West Senators
Charles r. McNary. Senate minority
leader, and Frederick Steiwer, both
Of Oregon, and Lester j. Dickinson
of Iowa, one-time House farm bloc
leader.
OF the three mentioned as pos
Sible dark horses" Mr.. Dickinson
Of Iowa would best suit, the Old
Guard Of the East because Of his
unrelenting warfare against the
New Deal up and down the line. The
Iowan is stanchly conservative,
and yields barely anything to the
Roosevelt regime.
Very different is the record of
Senator AfcNary, who has supported
the New Deal on many measures.
Last session he voted for the S4,-
$50, 000,00 work relief bill, the Wag-
ner labor bill, the AAA amendments,
was for the social security program,
and supported the Administrations
two major power regulation bills
the holding company measure and
the amendments broadening and
strengthening IVA.
The slender minority leader, who
makes few speeches but it very eff
fectiyc behind the scenes, has been
criticized by G. o. P. conservatives
for his refusal to wage war along
the whole New Deal front. The
only speech of any length he made
last session-and that lasted only
about Is minutes-was to advocate
social security. And he would have
preferred to go further on that line
than Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr. McNary agrees with Senator
Borah that the party must shake

itself free from reactionary leader
ship if it expects to regain the con-
fldence of the people.
The Oregon senator was boy
hood friend Of Herbert Hoover when
the latter lived for time with an
uncle in Salem. Mr.. McNary's home
town. Like Hoover, he went to
Stanford University. 1t was Mr..
McNary who acted as President
Hoover's intermediary in the Senate
when the Old Guard, under the
leadership of Senator James E. Wat
son of Indiana, was quietly con-
doning, if not actually encouraging,
rebellion against the White House.
But Mr.. McNary, like most other
party veterans, regards Hoover now
as a back number politically and
will throw his influence against any
attempt to renominate the ex-
President.
Mr.. McNary does not take very
seriously the talk of his possible
nomination. He is 81, is not a
colorful nor a dynamic figure and is
not favored geographically by his
residence in a state which is a bit
too far west and has too few elector-
al votes to recommend it.
The same geographical infelicity,
of course, applies to Senator Steiwer,
who stands about half way between
the moderate progressivism Of Mr..
McNary and the conservatism of the
party's Eastern wing, and who fol-
lowed the New Deal on the labor
bill, IVA and AA last session.
