Political Following
Might Cause Clash

A real assistant president would
have to develop a certain follow
ing. That following could not help
but take on the color of political
entity and, therefore, by its very
nature, run head-on against the
presidential authority itself.
Warren was generally considered
a wise choice as candidate and a
strong one. A leader in his own
right. Many Democrats, thinking
with the natural wishfulness to be
expected, predicted that if he were
elected vice president, the tail
might wag the dog-or, at least,
might be inclined to register ap-
proval at it's end of the avenue
while the head was growing at the
other end of the avenue-or vice
versa.
Garner broke with Roosevelt,
not merely because he disap-
proved of the third term, but
because he was fundamentally
opposed to many of the Presi-
dents policies, if not to his ba-
sic political philosophy.
In the chamber of the upper
house, Garner breathed far more
conservative air than that which
circulated through the study and
executive offices at 1900 Pennsyl-
vania avenue. And it was more
congenial to him.
But-when a vice presidents po-
litical theories don't coincide with
those of his boss in the White
House, administrative bills are not
likely to become laws.
However, no such differences Of
opinion are likely to harass the
Truman-Barkley team. The two
men see pretty much eye-to-eye
politically at least. And their re-
spective jobs will be made easier
by the fact that they have such
tremendous Democratic backing in
house and senate for the policies,
both domestic and foreign, that
they wish to promote.
And although it may be hard for
Barkley to accustom himself to the
relative tranquility of the vice pres
idential job, he doesn't have to
worry about being lost in the
shuttle.
Not many former vice presi-
dents are remembered for
craftsmanship - Calhoun is re-
called mainly because he quit
the job after quarreling with
President Jackson, and Thom-
as r. Marshall for his clever
crack that what this country
needs is good five-cent ci-
gar" Charles G. Dawes for his
pipe, and so on.
But Barkley has already made
his mark. He deserves a pleasant
four-year sojourn presiding over
the upper house which he has
served 50 long and well.

Garner Didn't Get
Far Out of Touch

When Garner heard Mr.. Dewey'S
statement regarding his conception
of his running mate if he were elect
ed, the sage Of Uvalde said some
thing to the effect that most Of the
time when he was vice president
he was so worried that the Repub-
ican senators would put something
over on him in case of a tie vote
that he never dared to get more
than a block away from the Capitol
steps.
While it is quite true that the vice
president is a member of the exec
utive branch of the government, his
chief function is presiding over the
senate and casting vote like any
other member of the upper house in
case of tie.
If he were too closely associated
with the executive branch Of the
government he might fail in his
really important role, that of rally
ing support for administra alton
measures in his own party and do
ing what he can to keep the ma
jority party as favorably inclined
to the White House as possible.
Most vice-presidents with
sense of humOr have been care
full not to take themselves too
seriously. Vice President Mar
shall (under WILSON, made q
considerable contribution to the
climate of Washington by in
dulging in wisecracks and offer
ing a sharp contrast to Wilson's
less frivolous utterances.
Mr.. Garner took somewhat SIM
ilar line when he said at the end
Of his first term: "The job is de-
Nghtful. / like it. But 1t 10 en-
Grely unimportant."
