Not Disloyai for Any
Democrat to Make the Race

why shouldn't any Democrat run
for the nomination" one Of them
demanded of the writer. Roosevelt
has not said one word to indicate
that he intends to run. But even if
he did tomorrow. does that mean
that it is disloyal for any other
Democrat to have aspirations? And
dlsloyal to whom? They talk about
Gamers pledging himself for the
duration at the Philadelphia con-

Roosevelt doesn't own the Demo-

disloyal, to the party or to anybody,

Danger of an Incident
That Might Lead 10 Uar

Senator'S in this group. insist that
the danger Of an incident is Just
as great-just as apt to inflame the
people of this country to a stage
where war might result-if a ship
flying the American flag and
manned by United States seamen
were torpedoed as though United
States nationals also owned the
cargo she was carrying.
They do not see any difference in
the possible effects. They do not
think that the shipment of NUM-
tons to belligerents should be per-
mitted at all, and would like to pre-
vent the shipment of all war sup
plies, but recognize that the opposi-
ton to them is too strong to permit
their going this far.
But in the amendment of the pres
ent neutrality act they are sure they
can work up enough popular senti-
ment on their side to prevent ships
flying the United States flag from
sailing with loads of foreign owned
munitions-though produced in the
United States and sold by United
States nationals = to belliperent
ports.
bitterness against Jones
Something TO Hrife 4boun
Developments in the Roosevelt
Garner-F arley-McNutt presidential
sparring are as thick md furious as
though this were next spring in
stead of the Democratic National
convention being a full year off
Within the last week bitterness of
many of the New Dealers against
Garner has reached the danger
stage, all OF it resulting from what
the New Dealers assumed to be a
Garner-inspired story which stated
that the vice president would stick
to the end, regardless OF any other
development, in his fight for the
nomination.
As a matter of fact, Garner did
not know about this story before il
was printed. But it so happens that
1t was written by the Washington
correspondent of a Texas newspa
per owned by Jesse Fl. Jones'
Hence bitterness against Jones is
something to write home about. The
New Dealers are calling him ev-
erything from an migrate up and
down.
Moreover, they are trying to cut
in on Gamers Texas strength now
by flirting with Sam Rayburn,
Democratic leader of the house, on
the notion that Rayburn may be
nominated for vice president, with
Roosevelt as head of the ticket, next
year. This same hope is being held
out to a number of other Democrats
who they have reason to fear might

forces-otherWise-at the conven-
