Reelection of Roosevelt
Next Year Seems Certain
(Special To The Press-Maconian)
WASHINGTON, May IS. -The
great game of politics, which is al
ways going on behind the scenes
in Washington, is being played
more and more in the open now,
as the lines begin to form for the
election battle of 1936. There is a
great deal more frankness on the
part of the players, more open ad
mission that they are concerned
with their own reelection as much
as they are with solving the per
plexing problems of the nation in
the most effective way.
This is especially notable in the
Senate, onerthird of whose mem
bers come up fof re-election next
year, and another third in 1938. It
is not yet so iqarked among mem
bers of the House of Representa
tives, all at whose terms expire
next year; but in the lower house,
also, many members who have been
counted as loyal supporters of the
Administration are beginning to
echo the remark of one eminent
Senator, who expressed a growing
feeling when he said: "Roosevelt
is going to need us next year quite
as much as we need him. We
don't have to cling so tight to his
coat-tails as in the past."
Every fellow for himself
The reason for this state of af
fairs is that Senators and Repre
sentatives are hearing from back
home, and the message they get is
that there is a growing coolness
among the people toward some of
the New Deal measures. How ex
tensive and how serious this is,
none of them is quite sure. There
are a good many Congress districts
and several states in which a
switch of only a few thousand
votes from one side to the other
would make a decided difference in
the political complexion of the next
Congress.
There is not much doubt in Wash
ington, so far that President Roos
evelt will be re-elected. All the
odds are in his favor. But it would
be entirely possible for the Presi
dent to be re-elected by the pow
er of the electoral votes of the
larger states, even though he car
ried each of them by a narrow
margin, arid still leave a large batch
of Congressmen and Senators of
his own party out on a limb.
That is what is worrying the boys
on Capitol Hill. They want to save
their own skins, and so they are
showing their independence by
balking at such parts of the Presi
dent's program as they think
might not set well with the folks
back home. It is not quite fair to
regard this as a cowardly and
selfish attitude. Some of them
have never relished taking orders
from the White House, having in
dependent ideas of their own and
feeling that it is their function,
rather than that of the Executive,
to draft and enact legislation.
They went along with the Presi
dent, not only for the sake of par
ty harmony but because there
didn't seem to be any other way to
get started toward the goal of eco
nomic recovery. As long as there
was a practically unanimous senti
ment throughout the nation, that
was the sound and politic thing for
them to do. Now, however, they
feel that public sentiment is not
so one-sided.
The Chamber's Objection
The attitude of some members of
the President's own party in oppo
sition to some parts of his pro
gram was strengthened by the rep
resentations made by the delegates
to the annual convention of the
Chamber of Commerce of the Unit
ed States.
This organization is composed of
nrartieallv all of the chambers of
commerce and boards of trade in
the United States. It is, there
fore, a representative cross-section
of the average business men- of
the nation. Therefore, when its
convention adopted resolutions ask
ing for the postponement of the
Social Security plan, the ending of
NRA, opposing the President's plan
for regulation of public utilities
and suppression of holding com
panies, against the plan for Federal
control of bank credit, the pro
posed strengthening of AaA and
the Wagner industrial relations bill,
the Chamber's utterances were
taken seriously.
Administration supporters pub
licly tried to "laugh them off." The
President himself expressed dis
belief that business men generally
felt the way the convention did;
but there is no denying that this
first important organized expres
sion of disagreement with the New
Deal has had a serious effect, al
though naturally it does not rep
resent unanimity on the part of
business interests.
Another Meeting
Almost at the same time that the
Chamber of Commerce was meet
ing, there was another meeting of
even greater significance being held
in the White House. This was be
tween the President and a group
of Democratic Senators, who served
notice on the Executive that they
would not go along with him on
all of the legislation which , he has
ear-marked as "must." Those who
profess to know what took place at
this meeting report that the atti
tude of these recalcitrant Senators
was very definite.
Therefore, because of all that has
just been set down, what may fair
ly be expected between now and
the adjournment of Congress is a
few compromise measures, which
will not suit anybody, much, and
the shelving of several items which
the Administration earnestly wants.
Congress is definitely much less
interested in social reforms than is
the White House. It is definitely
much more inflation-minded than
the President. Mr. Roosevelt is
bent upon checking the movement
toward currency inflation, but to
avert it he will have to accept the
verdict of Congress on some of his
reform plans.
It's anybody's guess, this week,
when Congress will adjourn.
