bother much about that either Mr..
Roosevelt says do it" and Mr.. Farley
says, "Okay, chief"
We could pass by Mr.. Farley's
statement if the sentiment came only
from him. But we know the senti-
ment comes also from Mr.. Roosevelt
The atmosphere Of the White House
is charged with 1t. Mr.. Roosevelt
says the equivalent OF it repeatedly
at mis- press conferences. About one
measure after another Of his legisla-
tive program during the recent ses-
sion OF Congress he has said the
people" want it, or the country"
wants 1t.
Mr.. Roosevelt seems to hold this view
with special conviction since the de-
feat Of his court measure in the Sen
ate. A fair summary of the admin
lstratlon view about the court pro-
posal would picture Mr. Roosevelt as
holding that the people wanted 1t;
that the people wanted it solely be-
cause Mr.. Roosevelt wanted 1.-THE
people did not know what 1t was and
never heard of it until Mr.. Roosevelt
said he wanted it. Such a summary
OF the present administration atti-
tude would go on to say that the Sen
ators who opposed the court measure
failed to express the peoples wish;
that the people will therefore defeat
these Senator's for reelection: that
the first defeats will come next Spring:
and that with this lesson before Con-
gress Mr. Roosevelt will thereupon
get his court measure.
Reputation of Representation.
The administration repudiates the
notion that Nebraska elected Edward
r. Burke to the Senate in order that
he might Hse his best Judgment on
legislative proposals, or that Wyoming
elected Joseph O'Mahoney for the
same purpose. And in repudiatine
that notion the administration re-
pudiates the whole notion Of repre-
sentative government.
About this view the administration
makes no concealment. Its spokes-
men proclaim the doctrine. Openly
they declare that the duty of a Sena-
tor elected on the same ticket with
Mr.. Roosevelt is to do what Mr.. Roose-
welt wants.
Throughout the Senate debate on
the court measure the argument in
favor of it, by the late Senator Rob-
inson. Senator Logan, Senator Guf1ey
and others. was that Senators elected
on the same ticket with Mr.. Roosevelt
were under an obligation to vote As
Mr.. Roosevelt wants. These Senators
were described by phrase: They
rode into Office on Mr.. Rooseyelt's
coat tails and therefore were under
obligation to do what Mr.. Roosevelt
wants. For doing otherwise they were
"ingrates was Senator Guffey's
word. The word of another admins
tration Senator was "betrayer.
Kept Idea In Dark.
Senators elected on the same ticket
with Mr.. Roosevelt must vote for what
he wants-even though. in the case
OF the court measure, Mr.. Roosevelt
during the campaign did not reveal
what he wanted, kept 1t concealed un.

eager to exploit this sympathy in
