Burglars Raid Brewery,

BALT LAKE CITY. July 16.—(XP>—
E irglars who raided a brewery ware-

a section of heavy wire door and ob-

probably are still thirsty.

corrupt local politico-criminal machine in the United States. It
would have been unfair to such zealous and accomplished crooka
as the Louisiana mob. ►’
But of course, when a mob of
thieves is broken up and its best
crooks are sent to prison it automatic-
ally loses its standing in the league.
That has happened to the New Or-
leans crooks, and so at the present
time there is none to dispute the city
government of Chicago, which is the
local union, so to speak, of the na-
tional Democratic party.
This organisation is beyond chal-

time and historic judgment, may
prove to have been the most diagrace-

pHICAGO, July 15.—This lent n-
V' actly a convention—for virtual-
ly everything has been decided al-
ready by a certain man of rare charm
and political magnetism who Ilves in
the national capital. It’s really a re-
union of the first 60 families of Amer-
ican politics—the families of admin-
istrative title and new deal fame. It
Is difficult to see any resemblance be-
tween this and any other convention
held by the Democratic party or any
other party
Nearly all the members of the cab-
inet are here—that is. the Demo-
cratic members and the former Re-
publicans like Wallace and Ickes. A
number of the assistant secretaries
are conspicuous as are also plenty of
administration senators and represen-
ful offense against decency and the
prestige of popular government in the
entire life of the United States
In most crooked political organisa-
tions there are some departmenu in
which the corruption is negligible or
timid. But in Chicago there is no
such flaw. Most of the local courts
are beneath a pickpocket’s contempt,
the school system has been looted,
gorillas of the old hootch and prosti-
tution racketa now run labor unions
under charters from William Green’s
American Federation of Labor, and
the underworld is the dominant ele-
ment of society, with acknowledged
rights of representation in the city
government.
The national Democratic party
needs the support of the Chicago
gang, and thus this week the conven-
tion meets, unashamed, as the guest
of the most loatheaome and defiant
alliance of crime and politics in the
United States at present and possibly

But what is the convention about9
Strangely enough, one hears very lit-
tle about the third term. It seems to
have vanished from the minds of the
delegates. It has been obliterated by -
self-hypnotism or something.
Yet it would be a mistake to give
the Impression that the third term
isn’t a bit of a worry. This comes
out when delegates, conversing with
newspaper folks, ask opinions about |
the outcome. Will the third term is- i

wise-cracking too much? Is the coun- ------—-----—------• —- — -----

\J about in the hotel corridors as the
politicians gather for the quad-
rennial conclave. And fundamentally
these queries are answered by the new
dealers with a feeling of confidence.
They are somewhat eoncemd about
the outcome, but they honestlv believe

The hand-picked administration
delegates are for Mr Rooeevelt for a
third term or a fourth term. They
want him continued in power because
it means they themselves will be con-
tinued in power. But the independent
delegates wonder if this kind of a
convention will keep the Democratic

▼T wouldn't be at all surprising to the

to have it materialise, for they believe
neither Gamer nor Farley will stand
by their principles or convictions but
will reverse their stand of these last
few months in a grand flourish of
statements about the war having
created a new emergency. But in and
around the town here are many ob-

Panic Is Seen as Evidence
Roosevelt Misplayed Cards

pHICAOO, July 15.—The panicky situation of the admlnlstra-

cards. »----------—————
dealers have ignored Farley. Still, the
president and his intimates realise
Farley is the best man to manage the
campaign and now they are begging
him to stay on. Such handling of
such an essential man as Farley
seems incredible stupidity.
Third, Secretary Hull has been so
mishandled, has been so often short-
circuited around the state depart-
ment. has been so uncertain of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's support of him, that
he turns up now highly suspicious
and feeling Undoubtedly that an at-
tempt is being made to get him out
of the state department by promot-
ing him upstairs. J ,
President Rooeevelt has been a
great popular leader in this period. He
has held democracy together in
America. He has responded to the
needs of his time often with the
traits of genius. Nobody can take
that away frofn him.
But he also has serious defects and
they have led him into this incredible
bungling of the third-term affair.
