Barkley Probable Chairman.
Unless present plans are changed
Senator Barkley of Kentucky. the
majority leader, will have the post
OF permanent chairman. He served
as keynote speaker in the national
Conventions of 1882 and 1886.
. Several members of the Committee
on Arrangements have been opposed
to a third term nomination for
President Roosevelt-among them
Chairman Farley. Mr.. Farley has
never said SO publicly, however.
Indeed, he has always left a loop
hole, whereby he could support a
third term nomination if an en-
ergency confronted the country. Mr..
master General. has been in the
West in recent weeks, working for
the nomination of Mr. Farley.
The overwhelming insistence by
the great majority of the Democrats
on the denomination of the Presi-
dent appears to have worn down the
opponents Of third term-coupled
with present rumOrs that the Presi-
dent will accept with a proviso that
he may retire when the emergency"
is over.
