2d-Term Candidates Don't
Usually Embark on
Stamping Tours
By Alexander R. George

President Humans campaign
may turn out to be the most ex-
tensive and "f1ghtingest" - ever
waged for a second term.
During the past half century of
Republican Democratic struggle
every President except Harding has
been nominated for second term.
He died in his first term.
Only three of the pre-Truman
second term candidates-William H.
Taft, Herbert Hoover and Franklin
D. Roosevelt-made regular stump
ing tours. And those tours were
launched late in the campaign sea-
son.
Got an Early Start
President Roosevelt made So
called "nonpolitical" inspection trip
to the dust bowl in the summer of
1886 that Republicans said was a
bid for reelection. He and Repub-
lican Candidate Alfred M. Landon
met and exchanged compliments at
q drought conference in Des Moines.
President Truman got an early
start with political speaking trip
to the West Coast before the Re-
publicans had. chosen their presi-
Dental candidate. Democratic plans
call for more vote-seeking trips by
the President to all parts of the
country.
Mr.. Truman, "a, is the second old
est candidate to campaign for a
second term. Andrew Jackson was IS

election in 1882. Senator Alban w.

Iof the dissident groups. How long
such a mixture can hold together as
national political party is an
other matter.
Principal among the groups sup
porting the new Progressive Party
are Negroes, Jews, Communists, COL
lege students and their fellow trav-
elers, radical professional people and
left-wing labor. They, OF course,
overlap. None likes President Tru-
man and his administration. 1t goes
without saying that none likes the
Republican Dewey-Warren ticket.
The Progressives, however, may be
particularly effective against Mr..
Truman, because what strength they
show at the polls in November will
be drawn, not from Republican
ranks, but from hitherto potential
supporters of the Democratic ma
tional ticket.
Tries for Big Labor Vote
The Communist and fellow-trav
eler support of the Wallace ticket is
at once its weakness and its
strength. It weakens the ticket be-
cause of the hostile attitude of a
great majority of Americans to
Communist Russia and communism
in general. 1t strengthens the ticket
because it brings to it driving,
hard listed, fanatical group for the
all-important task of organization,
group that knows how and that
never for one moment lets up in its
march toward its aims.
The lett-wing labor group at Phil
adelphia hailed the new Progressive
Party as labor's own political party
It means to keep it that way. 1t
means to do all in its power to get
large vote from labor's ranks in
November. The left-wingers, in this
campaign, are at odds with the most
prominent leaders of organized labor
among them Philip Murray, head
of the CLIO, and William Green
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, who refused to go
along with the third party, con-
tending this was a sure way to bring
about the election of a Republican
administration.

By Gould Lincoln


The Progressive Party of 1913,
organized at its founding conven-
ton" in Philadelphia, has as pri-
mary objective the final dissolution
of the old Democratic Party-with
the Progressive Party taking over
the role of principal liberal party in
the United States.
Theodore Roosevelt, with his
Progressive Party of 1912, under
took similar operation against
the Republican Party and failed.
Within a couple of years the Roose-
welt party disintegrated and Theo-
dore Roosevelt never made another
bid for the presidency.
The effect of the Roosevelt break
away from the Republican Party So
years ago was very real in one re-
spect. It brought about the dis
astrous defeat Of the Republican
presidential ticket, headed by Presi-
dent William Howard Taft. The
count of the electoral college vote
(by which Presidents are elected
gave Woodrow Wilson, Democrat,
435 votes; Roosevelt S8 and Taft
only s. For eight years thereafter
the Democrats remained in power.
During that period the Progressive
Party disappeared and the COP re-
builded.
Future Another Matter
The effect of the Wallace Pro-
gressive Party on the political sit
uation may provide parallel to
1912, with the Democratic ticket,
headed by President Harry S. Tru-
man, suffering as did the Repub-
lican ticket headed by Taft. Indeed,
that is the probable outcome in
November. That Wallace, however,
will win any electoral votes, there
by carrying any State, is unlikely.
The future of the Wallace Pro-
gressives is another matter. The
party is made up of large number
Of racial and economic groups, each
with a special interest. Some Of
these interests overlap. The party's
platform, with its more than $500
words, contains planks on an in
finite variety of subjects-dealing
with the particular gripes of each

form, for an end of the arms en-
barge to the State of Israel. It can
be accomplished, they say, without
congressional action, and by the
President himself. So far, Mr.. Tru-
man has avoided this hoop.
Remarkable Demonstration
The demonstration Of the Wallace
following in Philadelphia was re-
markable. Actually upward OF 3,24o
delegates and alternates were ac-
credited by the credentials commit
tee of the convention. These dele
gates came from every State in the
Union, and from the District of Co.
lumbia, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
About 10000 people gathered in
Shibe Park to hear Wallace accept
the nomination. In some quarters
it has been held that this convention
strength was the whole strength OF
the Wallace movement; that when
the showdown comes in November,
Mr.. Wallace will be found with an
immaterial number of votes.
Many Sympathizers
This sounds like whistling in the
dark. The convention of the Progress
sives was made up of men and
women who had paid their own way
from far and near corners OF the
country. They came to represent
thousands who had signed the nee
essary petitions to have Henry Wal
lace's name entered on the ballots
IN many States. The number of
visitors who came to Philadelphia
to attend the Wallace convention
most of them sympathetic-was
in excess of those who came for the
Democratic convention the week
before, and rivaled the number who
came for the Republican conven-
ton.
It is the careful estimate of Pro-
gressive Party officials that Mr..
Wallace's name will be on the bal
lot in more than 40 Of the 48
States. c. B. Baldwin, Mr.. Wal
lace's campaign manager, fixes
the number at A. But whether 1t
is finally 30 or 40, 1t is a fact
that the Progressive ticket will be
voted upon in all the big industrial

ordered the $500 affected employees
to report to work in the six plants.
He said the strikers voted, 4,051 to
1,085, to accept the latest company
proposal. This brings the weekly
wage for breWhouse. malthouse, Gel

workers to $63,80.
The union originally had asked a
$12 weekly boost and the breweries

Radio Leaders Agree
Te|eyision Won't Ruin
Broadcasting Industry
Sy the Assoeiofed Press

LOS ANGELES, May 1s.-Top-
flight radio executives were in agree
ment today that television won't
ruin radio as commercial medium.
A two-hour panel discussion at
the National Association of Broad
casters Convention yesterday con-
sidered the relative advantages of
AM amplitude modulation), .FM
Frequency modulationD and Tele-
vision.
About rs delegates indicated, in
reply to a question, that their sta
tionS were equipped for both AM
and FIN operations, but only Is per
cent of these were willing to con-
cede that FIN eventually would sup
plant AM broadcasting.
Mark Woods, American Broad
casting president, characterized AM
as "a vigorous adult" assured of
long life. Television, he said, will
stand on its own merits without
destroying any other system.
Concurring in this view, Frank
Stanton, president of Columbia
Broadcasting System, pointed out
that the established income of AM
FIN radio is necessary to support
the new medium of television.
Mr.. Stanton said television Of
fers a specialized field to adver-
tisers whose products are best pre-
sented pictorially.
Lewis Allen Weiss Mutual Broad
casting System board chairman, de-
clared that FM-AM stations will
have to do better job to maintain
prestige as televisiOn becomes in
creasingly important.
Norman Kersta, National Broad
casting Co. television director, said
"television can start a new gold
rush like that of a century ago"
Wayne Coy, Federal Communlca-
tions chairman, told 1000 conven-
ton delegates that the future of
American radio must be planned
within the formula of private op-
erations.
"I know of no responsible person
in the Government, including the
FEC, who favors Government op-
Grafton of broadcasting. he said.

One of his oldest track expert
ences was in the broad jump in
the 1908 New England intercol-
legiate meet at M. I. T. There
was a spread of only inches be-
tween the winning leap and
fourth-place man. Johnny May
hew of Brown won with % feet
10 inches; Hubbard of Dartmouth
was second with % feet 8 inches;
Kent third with % feet inches,
and HoraX of Williams fourth
with % feet 4 inches.
Kent played in the second game
of the lengthy Central Tech
series and remembers that Clar-
ence Hecox, Tech coach, argued
Arba vTyndal, Central mentor,
into playing 35-minute halves.
High school elevens ordinarily
played 25-minute halves, but
Hecox produced the rules book
and asked to be shown a 25-min-
ute rule, which wasn't in there,
of course.
"We had some mighty good
athletes in those days and I'll tell
you something else-they didn't
tumble as much as teams do now
adays. We were taught to hold
on to the ball"
Kent succeeded to Paul Mag
gie) Magoffln's shoes at Central
and played with such worthless
as Block" Kipp, Logan Cunning

Burton and Mcdonald. "Korty"
Church and Bryan Morse were
the big guns at Western and the

think about Techs roster.

silver-knobbed walking stick to
go. But I've needed it since I
fell and broke a couple of verte-
brae a couple of years ago.

Wesleyan a good write-up. Any

out losing a game deserves rec
ognition."
No argument about that.

Sidney E. Kent, settling into a

if they realize how much more
they have than we had years
ago."
The stocky, silver haired old
Central High School alumnus was
on a goodwill mission for Wes-

naturally drifted back to the
early days Of high school sports
in Washington. He's graduate
of the Connecticut university and
thinks its current winning streak
deserves wider recognition.
Haven't lost a game since No
vember, 1912, when Williams
beat us" he said proudly. But
we took 'em for the third
straight time last week. and if
we get by Trinity and Rochester
it'll be a seven-year winning
streak. That's about the longest
on record"
He explained, Of course, that
Wesleyan didn't play football a
couple of years while the war
was on. but the fact that it
hasn't lost since 1912 is some
sort Of mark. Twenty-one con-
secutive victories over that span
is something more to crow
about.

Ten Eyek Of Syracuse
Is Reported Retiring
Nv the Assoeioted Press

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Nov. 1O.-Ed-
ward Hanlan CNed) Ten Eyck, the
first American to win the diamond
sculls at the Royal Henley in Eng
land, will retire as Syracuse Uni
versity rowing coach in June, it
was reported reliably today.
Ten Eyck, who succeeded his
father, James A. Ten Eyck, as
Syracuse's rowing coach in 1898,
reached the university retirement
age of 65 few years ago. It is
understood he continued coaching
ct his own request.
Named after the famous Canadian
sculler, Edward Hanlan, Ten Eyck
himself became an outstanding
competitor. He won the diamond
sculls in 1897 at the age Of II, and
was national singles champion from
1898 to 1901 and also shared the
doubles title.
During his 45-year coaching
career Ten Eyck served with the
Philadelphia Barge Club, Wisconsin
University, the Vedada Club of
Havana, Cuba, and Rutgers Univer-
sity.
He came to Syracuse in 1887 to
assist his father, who was the only
other rowing coach the university
ever employed
