Washington, April 8.—John L Lewis' third party threat is taker : more seriously by practical politi cians in Washington than by th< press generally. Th< ' —.... .. —* editorial v i e v eems, in the main to be that a thirc p arty wouldn' stand a chance o sleeting an inde pendent president ial candidate. His torical precedent i cited to the eft'ec that none ever ha: succeeded in doinj >o. Politicians don' dispute that this i: true. What the] John L. Lewis clo say is mai < thud ticket might so disturb th< ' ' ■ lar.ce ; uv en ihe two major par ties' respective votes as to changi the result a. between tho.e two. To be sure, John Lewi.- didn* , specifically say that he'd launch ; third party. What he did say was ' that he didn't "expect anything" . from the Republican:;. And he add ,: ed that, if the Democrats' platform • land nominee don't suit him either, he'll call a convention of his own. ■ I It seemed hard to interpret such a ' promise as meaning otherwise than , a third ticket's nomination—or how I could his independent convention t j have any significance at all? It | might not imply the creation ol' an | out-and-out new party as a perman • ; ency. It might be only an attempt ■ i to assimilate certain groups of both >} Republicans and Democrats into his t J new alignment, leaving the remain ; ing Republicans and Democrats, !! each "out on a limb". And then, pre t1 sumably, his bunch presently would >1 become the Democratic party, the r i others amalgamating as Republicans.
