of what is going on politically these
days"
Senator Capper need not be so
modest. He is not only amy judge
OF what is going on politically" He
is one of the very best judges. Few
exceed him in ability to judge the
trends, and he has long record OF
reflections to prove it. They say
in Kansas, with entirely friendly hu-
NOR, that Senator Capper's ears have
been kept to the grass roots 50 long
that the grasshoppers have chewed
fringes in them. They say he Is the
only man in the State who can at
one and the same time sit on the
fence and keep both ears on the
ground. What the Senator says about
the situation in the Democratic party
can be accepted as accurate. There IS
under way struggle for control Of
the Democratic party.
Conflict Described.
Another observer states the situa-
ton in slightly greater detail. Mr.
Turner Catledge of the New York
Times, an especially diligent and ac-
curate reporter, describes the conflict
between the President and some of
his leaders in Congress thus:
There are those among his [Presi-
dent Roosevelt'sl advisers who insist
that he should = use the present
opportunity to separate the sheep
frorn fha CoofS apd rrapo 20 Iie no ~ u,
to carry on the New Deal after 1910,
under him or some one else Their
proposal is that instead of throwing
overheard the controversial items in
his legislative program as recon-
mended by his congressional helms
men. he jettison the helmsmen them
selves. And one of the greatest of
the troubles between the President
and Congress is the growing belief
among some Of the leaders, particular
~ in the Senate, that the President is
veering toward this advice"
For the President to jettison Sena-
tor Robinson and his other leaders in
the Senate and House would be sensa-
tional. Presumably he would choose
other leaders or SpokeSmen. and pre-
sumably the new men chosen by him
would come from the more radical
wing Of the party. The mere fact Of
new presidential spokesmanship in
Congress would be startling enough.
The fact that it was picked by the
President himself would be even more
sensational. For ordinarily, indeed al
ways without exception, the leaders
OF party in Congress are chosen by
the members. They are elected by
party caucus. For Mr.. Roosevelt to
scuttle that custom would be an i'm
mense enlargement of the already
huge scrap heap Of Democratic tradi-
tions and principles. Yet some OBJ
servers think Mr.. Roosevelt will do it.
He will hardly be deferred by the
fact that it would be unprecedented
and startling. The unprece dented and
