Current Political Messiahs

Current Political Messiahs
On the theory that it is well
to know your enemy's plans,
personnel and resources, the
book, American Messiahs," just
published by Simon and Schus-
ter, should be required reading
for Bourbons, or just compla-
cent citizens who are not quite
sure as to who is doing what
and to whom, but feel they
ought to find out about it.
The book, written by 1.-THE
Unofficial Observer" who pen
ned 1.-THE New Dealers" of last
year, is a shrewd, good-natured
chronicle of the various fixers
and Utopians, whose voices are
loud in the land, with a canny
appraisal of their political
weight and drift. 1t makes
first class reading for any de-
tached onlooker at the current
battle royal and it surely ought
to be a fine guide book for po-
litically minded persons who are
trying to discover the main con-
fluence of Grant political forces
in 1896.
The writer doesn't get over
heated, and there is a nice cool
feeling about his prose which
makes his subjects stand out in
clear outline. He certainly
makes America look pretty much
like a squirrel cage, rounding
up all these maverick men and
events between two covers.
SELF STARTERS"
Opening with the Kingfish, he
picks up Father Charles E.
Coughlin, Upton Sinclair, DR..
Francis E. Townsend, Floyd
Bjernstjern Olson, Farmer-Labor
Governor of Minnesota: the La
Follettes, Senator Burton K.
Wheeler, Gerald P. Nye, Gen.
Hugh j. Johnson, and a lot of
other such self-starterS.
The writer, while necessarily
dealing with much cratic
opinion, is chivalrous with re-
gard to the ancient American
right to dissent and, in the opin-
ion of this writer, his book is
enhanced by its objective quail
ity. Chiefly, he triangulates
these social and political forces
with regard to FaSciSm, and he
uncoVers the possibility that,
with continued depression and
great social instability, power
full and articulate groups will
take over one or more OF these
skilled rabble rousers.
That consideration is, in fact,
the least common denomination
of his serial recital of the doingS
of the various careeriStS. He
makes it pretty clear that you're
a bad guesSer if you figure
Huey P. Long as just another
Pitchfork Ben Tillman, due for
quick fadeout.
He rates the roaring and
rampant Senator high in brains
and ability, and credits him
with a sincere social viewpoint,
blanked somewhat by his "abys-
nal ignorance"
He finds no evidence that

Under the chapter heading,
THE Microphone Messiah"
Father Coughlin is analysed
mainly with regard to his rela-
lions with the Catholic heir
archy. While he is weighed in
as a possibly formidable politi-
cal force in 1886, the writer
finds that his radio teachings
are pretty closely in accord with
the great Papal encyclicals, and
the conclusion is that 'he has
a pretty free voice so long as
he does not try to project him.
self as a candidate for office or
as the leader of a political
party"
Upton Sinclair, the "Tarzan
of the Epic" is put down as a
gadfly which may yet harry
Roosevelt considerably unless he
shifts pretty far to the left. DR..
Townsend has started something
for his plan which will not stop
until the American people get
their hearts desire, or unless
they are so apathetic as to
accept perjury in a land OF
plenty. The La Follettes are

"They are pivot men in poll
tics, sitting securely on the
hinges which link the Swaying
left-wingerS with the stable
Fasteners. They are the only
men who can make the New
Deal seem revolutionary to the
WesternerS, and they are the
only men who can make revOlu-
ton seem respectable to the New
Dealers"
LONG-RANGE GUESS
It is too soon after the SUI
preme Court decision against the
NRA for anyone to make any
definite conjectures as to what
this Furnishing blow to the New
Deal will do to left wing move
mentS. Just a long-range guess
would be that it would be an
added excitation, and that it
might have the effect of sharp
ening the lines between dissent
ers and conformers, and increas-
ing solidarity in both groups.
This might clarity many cloudy
issues, but, incidentally, would
mean rising clamor and still
more significance for the sub
jectS of the above breezy chron-
icle.
So the book is timely and in
teresting, and if it happens that
you are a bit fed up with heavy
hitting in politics and economics
