CARLSON TOM EROWN | HOWARD THE DUKE or dramatic Struggle Evolving Between F. D. R. and Senate Washington, Fob. 13. A new and ramatic struggle is fast evolving beween a second term President and he senate, and none can clearly visjn the outcome. President Roosevelt *aid his DemofAi>q in ih*? both CUr.T.ch ?tl behind c--2nstitUi*onai or radii icn&l veto powers, a it ~;ar over leadership of the party in 940. The bitterness of preliminary kirmishes over nominations and reef spending gives only a foretaste of .'hat may come. Republicans largely are leaving the enter of the stage to warring Demoratic factions, just as they did durng the supreme court reorganizalon struggle. And here and there y word or vote they spur on the onflict, with ever-rising hopes of reapturing the White House and confess in 1940. There is nothing unprecedented in 11 this. Every second term President as faced like party revolts. Even arsher shallenges were sounded in he closing terms of Grover Cleveland nd Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Looscvclt's only two Democratic preeccssors in the White House since he 60's. Both times their party ;ent to defeat in the turmoil of inernal dissension engendered by lashes between White House and enate. What is new todav is Franklin toosevelt's aggressive reassertion of sadership despite the second term inndicap. Except for Theodore Rooscelt, one of his two-term or tcrm-amli-f ract ion predecessors reacted gainst that handicap as he has, or o bluntly put his party critics on lotice of his purpose to fight offenively and r.ot defensively. Backed by his great national popuarity, Theodore Roosevelt used the hreat of a third-term candidacy to dub his party in 1908 into naming lis successor the name of his choice, Villiam Howard Taft. Backed by a >ersonal popularity factor still relecting his unprecedented re-election weep in 1936, Franklin Roosevelt nay be moving in the same direction, ir ever, toward a third term. None mows but himself. He has more han once taken a leaf from the Theolore Roosevelt hook of political strategy, including intensive dramatizaion of the incidents of a party conlict. A major question among Demo:ratic politicians at odds with Rooseelt is how far he might go in 1940. Even more than their puzzling over hird-term probabilities, or who might >e the Roosevelt 1940 nomination ihoice, disaffected Democrats are jondering what the President might lo if the convention verdict went -i;.iiil'>l mm. mis every inuvc on cue )arty checker board suggests to poitical veterans that a Democratic epetition of the Republican party ;plit of 1912, centering around anothsr Roosevelt, may be in the making.
