The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-05-09

This estimate gives to Roo plus Washington and Utah. On the other hand, Dewey forces expect to carry all of New Eng land. most of the middle West, plus Pennsylvania. New York is doubtful.
 However, both Democrats and Republicans frankly admit that California as going to be one of the keyest states in the Union. They remember how 1t was Cali- fOrnia, plus the txRce- jumping of Hiram Johnson, Which reelected Woodrow wilson in 1916 after Charles Hughes went to bed thinking he was President-elect.
 They remember too how Hiram Johnson, . Republican, again helped to throw the election to . Democrat -. Roosevelt - in 1882. They also know that 1t was Q heavy Democratic vote for Repub- Ncan Warren that made him gov- eTnor in loA2. Tn fact, California is the State in the Union that is nearest to being without a two- party system. Candidates run on both tickets and get votes from both parties.
 The Dewey forces know that FDR Is still . powerful figure in California. But they also fig ure that Warren, if on the Re- publican ticket. could carry the state for Dewey. Democratic leaders, on the other hand, say that Governor Warren has lost his popularity, could not deliever for Dewey.
 At any rate, the Far West iS
 being rediscovered by the pON-
 teal East for the first time since
 MArshau struck geld In IS49.
 NOTE: This is the inside rea- son why Californias Democratic Attorney General, Bob Kenny, has sped eastward. Ostensibly. he wants to be heard on the new Q. S.-Mexican treaty. Actually, friends are proposing him as the keynoter at the Chicago Demo- cratic convention. Some even 90 90 far as to propose him as Vice Presidential candidate with FDR-if the latter runs.
 FRANKFURTER OBSERVES
 You won't get any one on the Supreme Court to talk about 1t. but Justice Felix Frankfurter Is in the doghouse with Chief Jus. tice Stone when it comes Co writ ing opinion for the court Frank furter has writetn only five opinions for the court his year, whereas last year he wrote nine. The number of opinions each Jus. tice writes for the court is up to the Chief Justice, and word from the cloistered marble sanc- tuaFy is that Stone thinks Prank. furteT ts too slow. He has been weeks writing several opinions assigned to him.
 However, he seems to have plenty of time to write dissentS. Last year, Yfankfurter's score was had already reached eleven before ten dlssents, while this year it the court met last week.
