TheGreat GameofPOlitics
Democratic Convention to Be 'Bossed'
From the White House, Writer Asserts

ana somewhat inconsistent Repub-
lican document.
Under the circumstances, there
seems every reason to believe the
Democrats, as they assert, will pro-
duce platform that will compare
very favorably with the Republi-
cans. 1t ought to be q model.
But when 1t comes to getting en-
thusiastic about it the difnculty Is
that that will at once recall to the
Republicans-and to q considerable
part of the country-what Mr.
Roosevelt did in 1882 to one Of the
best platforms upon which any cans
didate ever ran.
Eighteen months after he took
ONCE he threw that platform "out
the window" and started in exactly
the opposite direction. In face OF
his record in the matter Of platform
promises 1t might be made embar-
RAISING If the fourth termers too
greatly stress the superiority Of their
1914 platform, even II such should
be clear.
The sounder claim is that the
platform is subordinate to the can
didate and that the latter, unless
completely colorless, makes, or is,
his own platform. Certainly that
has been true Of Mr.. Roosevelt
And there are reasons to think It
Will be true Of Mr.. Dewey, too.

the party until the nomination was
made-and then it was over. The
position of Mr.. Dewey that he would
accept but not seek the nomination
made 1t impossible for him to take
any part in the convention COM
mittee organization or in the mold
ing Of the platform.
There was no commanding figure
in the convention who could speak
with the voice of authority-no
recognized leader. Harmony on the
platform came, but it was har-
mony secured through compromise
and concessions, and, therefore, at
the expense of the product.
Boss" to Be on Phone.
It will be very different with the
Democrats. Already the boss has
been designated. Chairman Robert
E. Hannegan of the national COM
mittee is to run the show with the
full weight of the White House be-
hind him.
This means that. like Mr. Hopkins
four years ago. he will be in con-
slant telephone touch with Mr.
Roosevelt, able to say what the
President wants or does not want
on every detail and issue. And that
will be enough to give him complete
control of the two vital committees
credentials and resolutions.
This means that the chairman Of
each of these committees, as also
the temporary and permanent
chairmen of the convention, will be
men selected. with Mr.. Roosevelt's
approval, long before the conven-
tion meets. 1t means, too, that the
White House platform, now in
process of preparation by the presi-
Dental literary aides. will be handed
to the chairman of the Resolutions
Committee and adopted without
change.
There may be revolt and protest,
but these will not affect the result.
As the recognized representative of
the President, who has his conf
dence and is in close personal touch
with him, Mr.. Hannegan is in posi-
ton to dominate all down the line
and undoubtedly will.
He will be aided, of course, by
various members of the President S
cabinet, by the more ubiquitous
New Deal Senators and by several
of the anonymous White House Sec
retaries, such as Mr.. David Niles.
But the White House wishes will be
transmitted firsthand through Mr.
Hannegan. That has been an
nounced and that is enough to in
sure convention control at all stages
Of the game.
Platform Should Be Model.
Though there is more Democratic
opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
nomination than there was Repub-
lican opposition to Mr.. Dewey, it
will be completely futile. Particu-
larly is this true so far as the plat
form is concerned 1t may seem
advisable to make a concession here
or there. but the concessions will
only be those approved by the White
House
Though there will be the usual
closed committee sessions and the
hearings of the special interest
groups. there is no chance of any
real departure from the White
House draft previously approved by
the President. 1t is already being
forecast here that this will be brief
simple and concrete and that every
advantage will be taken of the op-
portunities afforded by the overlong
