Show DID THE PRESIDENT MAKE A MISTAKE did president roosevelt make a mistake in taking a hand in some of the state primaries trying to replace conservative serva tive with liberal democrats his enemies gleefully shout that he did some of his friends fear that he did As you know he lost his men heavily in maryland in georgia and south carolina but there is this important thing to remember in no other way could he so quickly or so forcibly have brought the people to realize the clear cut difference between the conservatives and the liberals and also that the conservatives are fighting to control both parties the contest is now more in the open and this is healthier and the fight is on in the more populous districts of the country what weve had so far are mere skirmishes neither the present primaries nor the election this fall settle it the real fight is between the ahe conservatives and the liberals in the democratic party for the control of the 1940 conventions vent ions not much fight among the republicans about this thing because their leadership is clearly conservative but they are getting a kick out of tormenting the democrats in the primary elections and forcing them in some cases to nominate their weakest candidates mr roosevelt will do his best to keep the democratic party liberal can he do it let us hope he does and and as you figure one state after another this f far ar ahead it looks like he will but the money power has to be reckoned with and it is all powerful because the majority of the people are either blind to their own interests or vulnerable to bribes and patronage and so the fight between right and wrong between selfishness and justice goes on throughout the world with the vested interests still hol holding ding the trump cards i ali A |
