In this, Mr.. Wallace can be counted
upon fully to cooperate. His routine
Job as Secretary of Commerce will
leave him free to make speeches and
write articles. The radicals will blow
the trumpets and beat their drums
while he promulgates the plans" for
"cradle-to-grave" security and a great
new governmental spending program.
1t will be quite a show but that it will
get Mr.. Wallace the next Democratic
Presidential nomination is exceeding
ly doubtful For one thing, without
power to act, Mr. Wallace can do little
save talk in the next three years. And
his kind of talk has slight appea! eX
cept to the following" But there are
other things which loom in the Wal
lace way. One is the obvious fact that
the Wallace following" would be
powcrless to control the Democratic
convention. So far as the party is
concerned it is in a completely futile
minority To put Mr.. Wallace over
would require, in addition, all the
force Mr.. Roosevelt has.
But there are several reasons to
think that in 1913, if Mr. Roosevelt
himself is not a candidate, he could
not put Mr. Wallace over. One is the
way he personally turned Mr.. Wallace
down as his running mate because of
the assertion of his supporting city
bosses that Mr.. Wallace would "cost
the ticket a million votes" Since then,
the Democratic Senate, which person
ally knows him well, has voiced its
profound distrust and made clear its
convictions of his incompetency This
would seem enough to preclude him as
= candidate. but there is more. There
is great doubt that Mr.. Roosevelt
could. even if he wanted, bring about
bis nomination. As an outgoing Presi-
dent. the Roosevelt influence inevita-

sides. there is the basic political aXi
ON that popular strength never can be
transferred from one man to another
Finally. there is the surety that a
Wallace nomination would create 50
bitter a party split as to insure the
election Of Republican. Most of these
things are so clear that there is little
room for dispute.
However, they will not diminish the
&rdor of those who direct the Wallace
campaign. One group dwells loudly
upon the likeness of their hero to Lin
coin; another favorably compares him
to Woodrow Wilson. Both join in de-
picting him as the champion of the
common man" the Symbol Of the
plain people," which, incidentally, does
not particularly please the President S
CLOSE friends" who think that no
one compares to him, either as cham
pion or symbol, and that all Mr.. Wal
lace has and is, politically, is due to
him.
1t is all rather pathetic, because it
seems to spell series of headaches

But the clements behind Mr. Wal
lace, as is their custom, will ignore
the facts that conflict with their the
Dry. These elements include primarily
the Clio leaders, but also Mr. Hill
mans American Labor party and the
so-callcd Liberal party in New York,
the Communists (who are for Mr..
Wallace as they were for Mr. Roosc-
velD plus the radical daily and weekly
press. This is the pro- Wallace cOmbi-
nation. This is the Wallace follow
ing" upon which his journalistic
friends dwell, ignoring the fact that
all the Wallace following" is just a
part of the Roosevelt following. AS
suming that Mr.. Roosevelt does not
run again, there is no secret Of the
purpose Of this part of his following
to urge the Wallace nomination in
1913. 1t has been widely proclaimed
and is generally accepted-certainly
accepted by Mr.. Wallace. With his
confirmation, the l94S campaign for
him is expected really to begin. The
concentration of his following"
which is equipped with great propa
ganda facilities, will be upon the
"buiId-up."

WALLACE AND 194S

Washington, Feb. 10.
Assuming. as it is safe to do, that
after Mr.. Roosevelt signs the George
bill. and Mr.. Wallace is confirmed
rs Secretary of Commerce, his Left
Wing supporters are "all set" to claim
a great victory over the forces of
evil and for the Common man."
Mr.. Wallace will get the job after
an overwhelming vote of no conf
dence; after the office is stripped of the
great money powers which he sought
and after having been saved from re-
lection by the votes of nine Republi-
cans in body where the Democrats
have clear majority of "a. 1t re-
