Want ads 10c per line, first insertion, sub THE NEBRASKA SCENE By the Lowell Service The westward trip of President Roosevelt has made reunion within the ranks of the democratic party an impossibility. So declare a number of the sup posedly well informed democratic partisans who nestle under the dobe of Nebraska’s state capitol. Another angle, which the democra tic chieftains regard with much significance is the classification of Senator Burke as a conservative in the press statement of Senator Norris. Friendship for Senator Burke was expressed by Norris. “Senator Burke," the senior sen ator declared, “is a conservative. He has fought the administration all the way. He has a right to fight the administration, of course, but I think he is wrong about it. We disagree fundamentally.” To this statement Norris asserted that he was personally very friendly with Burke and that they had “got along well together." That healing the political wounds of the party is not contemplated may be inferred from the actions of Mayor Butler of Omaha. Speak ing with what many politicians think was an understanding with Governor Cochran, the Omaha mayor declared that he would not join Senator Burke in welcoming the president. It is reported that the night trip thru Nebraska was specially planned so that Burke could not make an appearance at a Roosevelt meeting, as did Senator O’Mahoney at Cheyenne. There is an admission among politicians that even the federal employees named at the behest of Senator Burke are standing clear of the former pa tron. Regardless of polls, the democratic politicians admit thai Senator Burke has a hard row tc hoe. His first fight will have to be made in the democratic primaries The same machine that aided hin in 1934 will oppose him in the pri mary battles of 1938 and 1940, The question of democratic lead ership is interwoven with the liber al and conservative points of view. Arthur Mullen, who has announced his retirement from law practice, is a firm friend of both President Roosevelt and Jim Farley. Last March Mr. Mullen wrote a letter to Senator Burke and’ announced that hereafter the political ways of the ex-national cnrtimitteeman and the junior senator would lie far apart. While Farley’s retire ment from the cbainet is reported, it is certain that his interest in national politics will continue. In fact it is well known among Wash ington correspondents that Roose velt will not seek a third term. It is believed that the influence of the administration will be exerted to I create a national liberal party. . Farley will be in the fight. « So the question of political lead- | i ership in the democratic party must | ’ be settled in Nebraska before the j 1 primary of 1938. Bidding for this I 1 leadership will be the alleged Coch- | 1 ran-Butler alliance. | According to democrats who come to Lincoln from out of the I 1 state, this tie-up, if such a coalition | exists, is not received with favor, r There is a national disinclination I to consider favorably an Omaha man for the governorship. Third 4 term aspirants are not popular in Nebraska, assert some democratic * chieftains. Many of the governor’s friends v have urged him to take up some j h phase of engineering, retire, per-1 b haps to North Platte, and prepare P for the senatorial battle of 1940. II In opposition to this plan, some of c Cochran’s advisors maintain that j] out of office means out of the spot 0 light of publicity. si ' - p One of the first editors of the nation to take up the cause of h Governor Roosevelt was James E. a Lawrence of the Lincoln Star. His W liberal editorials have attracted at 01 tention everywhere. In the last ** campaign only two metropolitan y. papers in the Missippi \ alley north of Mason’s and Dixon’s line sup oj ported Roosevelt. Last June, Edi cc tor Lawrence appeared at the cc White House and was closeted with a ct the PreaiHent for 45 minutes. Law rence then went to the democratic national convention at Philadelphia where he set the pace for the special correspondents of the coun try in getting out the real dope of the doings of the convention. From the national capitol, it; leaked out that Farley and a num-1 her of advisors of the President; intimated to Mullen early in 19.54 ; that Lawrence would make a; mighty good United States senator. | Mr. Mullen, it is stated by demo-; cratic insiders, had already set up the pins for E. Burke. However,. Mullen, according to the dopsters, suggested to Lawrence that he; would be unopposed for the demo cratic nomination for governor.; However, the editor looked askance at anything political for himself. He entered the fray for the liberals and redoubled his efforts in the campaign of 1936. So political strategists look on Editor Lawrence as a capable lead er. „ He has the warm friendship of the President; he is too far away to arouse jealousy on the part of any of the advisors of the Admin istration at Washington. While he has opposed Mullen and disapprov ed some of the methods of Farley, the exigencies of the political situa tion will, it is believed crowd all three into the same bed in the skirmishing thut must inevitably precede the national demorcratic convention of 1940. Another figure also looms on the Nebraska political scene. This is John Nathan Norton of Polk. He is a close friend of the President and, like Editor Lawrence is a firm friend of Senator Norris. In the national campaign Norton has been on the stump for the demo crats. During the campaign of 1934 he assisted Senator Norris in the campaign for the unicameral legislature. He was the liberal floor leader in the lust legislative session. It is reported that the advocates of the uncameral want Norton to stand for the legislature again in 1938. Norton is a farmer. As a member of the legislature, he must take a decided stand on all the state issues. He is friendly with Lawrence. Among democrats, it is admitted' that the Damon-Pythias bond that formerly united Mullen and Burke may find a counterpart in an alliance of political conveni ence beween Lawrence and Norton. “Darling I Am Growing Old” used to be regarded a pathetic song. But TK>t any more. Now it is an indication that the singer is about to cash in on social security or the old age pension.
