McNutt's Presidential Drive
Security Chief May Have Too Much
Political 1t for His Own Good

tor of the Roosevelt policies, as one
who can be depended upon to ad-
minister them efficiently, and, at the
same time, as a stanch guardian of
our present economic system and
hence disinclined toward further
drastic experimentation. Holding
this philosophy-or at least acting
upon it-he is inevitably being at
tackled by his opponents as trying to
be "all things to all men," 1t does
not necessarily put one on Mr.. Nc
Nuts side to say that If this is true,
he is following course not unknown
in previous presidential campaigns.
Much has been said about the
palpable efforts of Mr.. McNutt to
win over the New Dealers around
the President. He has had some
success, but by no means the sue
cess for which he had hoped-and
still hopes. There is a fear of Mr..
McNutt in New Deal circles which
he is finding hard to down.
Talk With Ardent New Dealer.
The writer recalls a talk he had
with an ardent New Deal Repre-
sentative long before Mr.. McNutt
had begun to be seriously talked
about as presidential candidate.
This Representative knew of the
work Mr.. McNutt had done as Gov
ernor of Indiana and admired it.
He praised Mr.. McNutt's general
ability to the skies and particularly
his administrative ability. He an
alyzed the availability" of all the
Democratic candidates and possible
candidates and dismissed them all
except Mr.. Roosevelt, who, he
thought, would not run and Mr..
McNutt. He wound up by express
ing the fear" that Mr.. McNutt
would be nominated. He said that
if Mr.. McNutt were the Democratic
choice, he would have trouble despite
his great admiration Of Mr.. McNutts
ability, In making up his mind how
to vote in the election.
II have never had any fear of
the great power in Mr.. Roosevelts
hands" he said, "but would fear
great power in Mr.. McNutt's hands.
He likes power too we'll for its own
sake"
This view of Mr.. McNutt is quoted
here because it Is typical of one large
obstacle he has run up against in
his wooing of the New Dealers. JUS
titled or not. the fear of him, as a
possible man on horseback" exists
and 1t is something that he is exert
ing himself to the utmost to over
come. The man who could quiet
the fear-or quiet it enough for
practical political purposes-is the
President, and nobody knows what
the President is going to do.
