President Roosevelt If he justifles
their fears by calling the extra ses-
sion they do not want.
With Congress in session the cam
paign to which they have been look
ing forward with such pleasure
would cease to be pleasant pros
pect. That goes not only for those
candidates, such as Senators Taft
and Vandenberg and House
Speaker Martin, who are members
of Congress-, but likewise for those,
such as Gov. Dewey, Mr.. Stassen and
Gov. Warren, who are not.
If one of the first group should
be nominated he would have to
spend some of the summer on the
job in Washington-time he could
spend better selling his wares to
the voters. Not only that, but he
would be under the necessity Of
campaigning with deeds as well as
words. He would have to perform
as well as promise. And performing
isn't easy, as the three candidates
named know all too we'll.
Truman Position Different.
If one of the second group should
be made the standard bearer, his
lot would be little, If any, more COM
Portable. He never would know
what Congress was going to do next;
he never could be sure which OF his
solemn promises Congress might be
kicking in the teeth even as he
spoke.
In brief, the candidates lot will
not be a happy one if President
Truman exercises his authority and
reassembles the lawmakers after the
conventions have done their busi-
ness.
The same will not apply to Candi-
date misunderstanding that the
Democratic convention does what 1t
Is expected to do. He could make
the no-longer-nonpolitical tour he
has been planning, free Of the wor-
ries that would beset his rival. In
deed, his only real worry would be
that Congress might suddenly
undergo a startling metamorphosis
and turn into something much bet
ter than "the second worst Congress
in history"
Taft Opposes Extra Session.
That might upset his calculations
if it should happen, but all the
rumors out Of Washington indicate
he is prepared to take that chance
Congress having put him back in
the race by its unfortunate be-
havior, he has reason to believe that
