Dewey is the only Republican with a [far as the Swedish border where they! west coast, having exhausted its gas here think they see signs that it is waning. The best opinion among Washing ton soothsayers today is that Mr. Farley and Mr. Garner have succeed ed in demonstrating to the president’s satisfaction that it vvould be. ruinous to his party for him to run for a third to himself, term. The same prophets are predicting that Mr. Roosevelt’s influence will be thrown to Secretary of State Hull for the presidency and Attorney General Robert H. Jackson for second place on the ticket. Such a ticket would go far to avert a serious split in the party, since both Mr. Hull and Mr. "T^sbh are Wetl-ttlRsranff- by almost .all factions of Democrats. Eligibiltty Increased Mr. Hull’s eligibility is regarded as having been increased by his victory In ’congress in obtaining a majority vote in both houses for the extension for three years of executive author ity to continue to negotiate recipro cal trade agreements with other na tions without having to submit themi to the senate for confirmation. It hadi a close squeeze in the senate, several Democratic senators from the agri cultural states voting against it. j The belief here is that the-Repub- licans will make these trade agree-[ ments a major campaign issue in the agricultural regions of the Mississippi valley. The farm vote may easily de cide next fall’s election, and there is a strong element of farmers wlio be lieve that Mr. Hull’s trade agiw-| ments opened the door to foreign; competition with American fann pro ducts. District Attorney Thomas E. Dew ey of New York made himself many friends in the agricultural states of the Middle West by his speeches on the farm situation, in which he took exception to the Hull policies. But Mr. Dewey did more than that, He ga\’e the leaders of his party the surprise of their lives by his success in the primary elections oT delegates to the Republican national conven tion. E\erybody in Washington almost was certain that Senator Vandenberg would get at least two-thirds of the Wisconsin voters. But Mr. Dewey got the whole twenty-four of them. This clean sweep was the most convincing demonstration Washin^bn has had yet of young Mr. Dewey’s popularity with the voters of his own party. Added to his other primary victories, it has given his party leaders some thing to think about seriously. - Regarded As Outsider In Washington where Senators Vandenberg and Taft are familiar figures the tendency has been to re gard Mr. Dewey as an outsider who might be good enough for second place but whose youth — he is 38 — and alleged inexperience in the ad ministration of public affairs ruled him out as the nominee for the head of the ticket. But political leaders in presidential years are prone to take a realistic view of circumstances as they are. The realistic view in this case is that the Republicans, facing the handicap of being opfiosed to a party which has been in power for eight years, must nominate the best vote-getter they have, regardless of other con- "siderations. And so far as tests of vote-getting power have gone, Mr. Dewey has demonstrated that he has more of it than either of his two chief rivals. ' . So the Republican leaders are be ginning to study Mr. Dewey’s other qualifications much more seriously. In international affairs he recently talked like an isolationist, but he still believes that congress was right in repealing the arms embargo.

Mr. Dewey’s friends are vigorously promoting the proposition that when it comes to administrative experience, neither Mr, Taff nor Mr, Vandenberg 'has anji*' record to compare with that of Mr. Dewey in administering the office of district attorney in the na tion’s largest and most corrupt city and winning his war against politi cally protected crime. Democrats Active It is significant that some promi nent Democrats, as well as Republi can backers, of other candidate^, are taking a more or less active part in the effort to “stop Dewey.” Whether he is regarded as the most dangerous opponent, from the Democratic point of view, is not quite clear.
