With the mighty fanfare of the Democrat! on inauguration day a fading memory and even the brave words of the Republicans on Lincoln Day less than a whisper out of the past, the pracical politicians on both sides of the aisles in the house and senate are hard at their practical politicking. of Governor Dewey on the political scene The sudden was something that took many of his fellow Republicans by surprise. Nevertheless, it would aeem that many who don't like him because he lost last November and other who didnt like him enough to help him win last November, are willing to change their minds and reaUy work for his election to the aenate In 1030. They think h$ has a chance tor the seat which Senator Wagner has held o long. There is a tendency on the part of Democrats to shrug off this dia To take on Sen ator Wagner in his prime would have 4f V been no small A venture. But since Senator t1 6,n a from New York has been ill for such a long period It is taken for granted that he will not run again in 1930. It is suggested that per haps his son, an up and coming young tant possibility with "Dewey cant do that' either I" man in his own right, might attempt to fill his fathers shoes. That Is always good political practice, for more than one candidate with a former heres name, has been swept Into of flee by voters who either didnt knew their Idol had do parted or else thought a candidate by any other name couldnt smell aa sweet. It was often declared that n number of had a vague feeling that FDR and TR were, if not the the same, at least approximately the same person. Meanwhile the Republicans are rapidly solidifying their forces for a concentrated battle over the rebill, and peal of the the way the atmosphere feels at this writing, Republican senators are offering the nearest thing to a fillibuster that can be offered without actually being labelled one. April Is contract day for a good many unions and the race is to get the act off the books before then. If the Republicans can keep on amending and arguing past that date, it will be a distinct, If only temporlry, victory for them. It must have been quite a shock for the labor leaders to learn that the administration didnt think that labor won the election. Labor did a tremendous Job for Truman, put in a lot of hard, fast cooperative work, dovetailing their programs with the efforts ot the regular party workers. But one Harry Truman did a lot of work, all by himself. When the A F. of L. and CIO heads came down to Washington early In Jan- - yy v old-Ume- rs Taft-Hartle- Taft-Hartle- y y Hits Shake-U- p Probe Committn One of the interesting changes wrought by the election was the reorganization of the activities committee. This strange child, born of a desire of one Democratic congressman to check Nazi and activity in this country back in the days of Hitler had become a problem child for the administration. The father of the Idea (it was a New York congressman), saw his offspring kidnapped at birth. It was seized by Republican Hamilton Fish of New York and later by Rep. Martin Dies of Texas and brought up in quite a different manner from what was Intended. The Democrats were pretty embarrased with the committee before Dies was through with li, and when he decided te with- - ' draw from the Washington 'scene they tried to squelch It but failed. It had proved too for Its good a headline-gettmembers. Then along came the Republicans In 1946 and grabbed It, making It one of the administrations number one headaches. . As soon as Democrats returned to power they saw to it that the committee, now an accepted Institution, was cleaned up. By one twist and another, they managed to eliminate all of the old members but one, Representative Wood, who is chairman. Membership was limited to lawyers, which was logical enough, for its faults were those which no honest lawyer would .condone, and it was reformed to recognize civil rights and to conform to some of the fundamental principles of justice and civil rights with which the original organization scorned to bother. Witnesses are now permitted to give their side of the case, be represented by counsel if they desire. Nothing has been done to hamper Its effectiveness, and It should be able to render a real service from now on. As Rep. John McSweeny (D., Ohio) one of the new members, said: "The spy hunt should be carried to a logical conclusion, but I will not permit innocent men and women to have their names and characters besmirched by unfounded and unsupported accusations. The activities committee, as it was run before it was cleaned up was an institution which simply could not continue to exist In America. It used methods which Americans will not tolerate, because if there is one thing an American demands, it is the right to be considered innocent until he is proved guilty.
