I ism or liberalism In Washington.
Already org .nized among the Roose-
welt army corps OF last Tuesday
were brigades Of independents and
radicals who marched with the
winner because II seemed wisest,
safest and most desirable at that
time TO do 30.
The national scene Is one OF po-
litical turmoil, party realignments
and uncertainty, all possibly COM
prising the hrst act Of drama In
which one OF the old major parties
will become the haven Of compare
lively conservative men and worn-
en- and the other the base OF oper-
atoms for o newer or more radical
kind OF thought.

tional amendment which eliminate
cd "lame duck" sessions OF congress
and advanced the inaugural from
March 4. His early January mos
sage to congress on the state OF the
nation and his inaugural address
will begin TO unfold the nature Of
the policies no will follow during
the ensuing four years and the ex-
tent TO which IN avalanche OF votes
has forced the new deal from what
MFR. Roosevelt has termed Its "left
OF center" policies.

Authority Division
Overwhelming these and other Is.
sues likely to arise In 1887, Is the
fundamental question raised by Mr.,
Roosevelt's first new deal that Of
the proper division OF authority
over human relations and business
between the states and the federal
government and how the president
Intends TO accelerate the pace OF o
"horse and buggy" supreme court.
There Is speculation about cabinet
changes, O further advance In the
tax"on-wea program and the
probability that Mr.. Roosevelt will
extend his crusade against holding
companies To industry other than
public utilities.
But the issue most clearly drawn
between the president and his po-
li.ical opponents In his first term
dealt with new deal efforts to
stretch the constitution TO cover
an area OF authority heretofore &C.
knowledged to belong to the states.
