to me when I heard the President say two words that marked the obit- YTNU of uary career The was long terse made reply a presidential conwhen a at ference asked reporter If Truman Mr he cared to say anything about the senatorial rfZ'' J I In primary tana in Mon- which Burton K Wheeler was defeated by Leif Erickson There was nothing more that the could President say He already had endorsed Wheeler with that remarkable loyalty that he has for his friends— a virtue which easily may go down in history as one of his faults Wheeler gave the freshman senahis first opportor Harry Truman tunity to show his mettle by letting him bat for him as chairman of the Commerce Interstate important committee Truman made good and a warm friendship developed aid couldn’t But even presidential save Wheeler The other day I was looking over with the autographed photographs McGrath Harold which superintendent of the senate radio gallery It was the walls had decorated just about the time that things began to look bad for the senator We on the senators we had commented known who had ended long careers "53 defeat course Sen George Norria Five the classic example terms Then he was replaced by an man Sen

other views most thoroughly But there are many even among his detractors who respect him for his a for as his legisability integrity which perhaps is lator something In understood better Washington and also because than elsewhere they consider his pacifism sincere I remember a conversation I had former repwith Jerry O'Connell resentative who tried to take Wheeler's leat In a campaign somewhat similar to the one which brought victory to Erickson Jerry was pretHe had a copy of the Anaty sore conda Standard In his hand as well as a clipping The clipping was a report of one of Senator Wheeler’s made early in speeches campaign his career can't remember the but the general idea phraseology (expressed by Wheeler) was that if which was the Anaconda Standard to represent the sentisupposed ments of the big copper Interests ever praised Wheeler it would be a sign that he was no longer worthy f the support of the people of Montana O'Connell read that to me Then he picked up his copy of the Standard and read from It some very kind words for Senator Wheeler I think it would be However grossly unfair to say that Senator Wheeler ever "sold out" even to any Interests As far as I know he la as sincere today as he was when he made his first fight on whatever issue had a aide anpopular enough to attract him In February of 1935 I had a long Interview with Senator Wheeler
