and substance the president’s message unquestionably disappointed Republican strategists A veto even though it probably could not have been beaten in the senate would have provided them with campaign ammunition They could have thundered charges of political coercion of fedeial workers or relief beneficiaries Assumed Credit Mr Roosevelt Avoided that not only by signing the bill but by pointing out that he had specifically recommended action to attain Its avowed objectives And there is a broad hint in his message that he will be back next session with the actual 1940 primaries Imminent pounding for extension of the nonpohtics principle to cover "the multitude of state and local (government) employes who greatly outnumber federal employes” "This is at least worth the study of the congress at Its next session and therefore before the next federal election" the president added Therejs a difference of opinion even among supporters of the act as to its probable effect on the 1940 campaign Federal employes are barred from service as delegates at party conventions but not their relatives or friends The president’s interpretation of the bill leaves wide opportunity for such federal workers to express themselves on Issues or candidates so long as they avoid formal participation In nomination or election campaigns Short of some court test which changed his advance rulings the president's view will govern And such a test seems improbable before the 1940 election since there will be no formal campaigning for federal office until the spring primaries open CHECK THESE FINE
