The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-10-03
American Labor Party

Amateur politicians and the public are following Trust-Buster Dewey's New York state fight against Democratic Candidate Bennett, who has served as attorney general under Franklin D. Roosevelt and Herbert Lehman since 1880. The Dewey-Bennett contest att tracts national attention for three req sons. One, of course, is the young ex- prosecutors color. Another is his presidential ambition, and the potential effect of the gubernatorial election upon his 1914 availability for the G. O. P. nomination. The third is the fact that the President tried to keep Bennett from getting the nomination and still has not relented publicly.
 But professional politicians find in the New York race an angle by far more ln- triguing than these Their prime inter- est is in the fortunes of the candidate who cannot win, the American Labor party'S nominee for governor, a Demo- cratic attorney of Greek extraction, Dean Alfange. Although the American Labor party was formed in 1886 and has had candidates in every election since, this IS the first opportunity for politicians to discover whether the unions can deliver the vote.
 1OA d44 SCSc]oAOAAo4 GA" Sembly district, the ALP has clung to the coattails of major party - usually, but not exclusively, the Democratic - and has elected it's own members to office only when they also had the support ot a major party. Four years ago when Dewey lost to Lehman the American Labor party rose to it's zenith. A grand toaal of 42O,0OO persons voted on the ALP IiYse for Governor Lehman. It was the Labor party votes that enabled the Dem- Ocrats to retain control. All this is of import because the American Labor party is . laboratory experiment. The plan was to determine whether union labor was capable of functioning politically in it's own right If the ALP succeeded i'll New York, then it was to be made national party.
 In all this time the ALP never before has tried it's wings all by itself. The entire question whether union labor can and should have it's own national political party. run it's own candidates and func- ton similarly to the British Labor party may hinge upon how many votes the 1r- conspicuous Dean Alfange gets in New York in November. If he cuts as poor figure as many expert observers antlcl- pate, then organized labor is expected to continue politically as pressure group, endeavoring to exercise a balance of power by which it can force the major DartieS to heed it's demands to some extent.
