‘ By THOMAS. Le STOKES - Times Special Writer

J | WASHINGTON, March 6.—There| | are two theories: about national political conventions, how they: should;

be constituted, how they should operate. Each aspirant, every four years, leans toward the theory that will ‘advance his. own interests. One theory is that delegates should be - elected without instruc- |

{| tions and come to the. conventions

as free agents, to select the man’ in the party best fitted to oocupy the| White House. The other is that delegates should come instructed—presumably. after the candidates have showed themselves and their wares to the people, entering state primaries where ‘possible—to the end that the convention will be a place: for expressing the public will.

ol Inconsistencies Appoa

A mixture of these procedures| usually results. This year the probability. is that the bosses will do the choosing in the end at Philadelphia and Chicago. - The average. voter will have little to say. ‘The usual. inconsistencies. are developing, most glaringly so among the Democrats. ~ In 1932, when seeking the Democratic nomination, . Franklin Roosevelt came out for oi delegations, whieh he viewed as the way for an expression of the public will and as a way to keep the convention from becoming “merely a trading post for a handful of powerful leaders.” His - statement. was in answer ‘to one by Jouett Shouse, supporter of Al Smith, who. viewed with alarm the success of Jim Farley in lining up delegates for Mr. Roosevelt, and deplored the instruction of: delegates, except where state primaries were held. Today, while President Roosevelt keeps. it a secret whether he intends to seek reriomination, the New Deal political strategists have adopted tactics which seem to run contrary, in some respects. to Mr. Rogsevely's previous position.

They Started the Bandwagon

To translate inspired third-term “demands” into = actuality, they started the bandwagon rolling with practical moves by big bosses, Frank Hague in Jersey City, Mayor Ed Kelly in Chicago, and the Pennsylvania - leaders, and then filed the President’s name in states. where Vice President John .N. Garner had éntered the primaries. The result was to scare off other prospective candidates. Elsewhere, the strategy has been to seek “uninstructed” delegations so constituted as to be under the President’s control, or to hold the delegations with favorite sons. Nominal “uninstructed” delegation will be plentiful also at the Republican- convention, it appears now, with no ‘conclusive tests scheduled for the: primaries. a That was the surface appearance, too, at the 1936 Republican conven-| tion, with few primary tests, but there were understandings and commitments among the leaders, reached - either before or after the convention assembled, so that Governor Alfred Landon was swept over ‘on the first ballot; though he had won only. 83 delegates in the primaries. Seek Popular Favor

‘The openly avowed candidates now’ in the field, Senators Arthur Vandenberg . (Mich.), Robkert Taft (0. ‘and Bridges (N.: H.) and District Attorney - Thomas E.. Dewey (N. Y) are fulfilling part of the procedure by explaining their views and seeking popular. favor. But most important is something that does not show-—the staffs maintained in headquarters. offices and the traveling representatives who are performing the really important Job of talking with state leaders and seeking to line up the delgations. They. work quietly and privately while the candidates do their barking in front of the tent. : The trading is going on for “favorite son” delegations. - While 16 states have primaries scheduled for selection of delegates (in some of which, none of the candidates are entered), ‘delegates in the other states are: chose. by state conventions, except in four cases where the state committee does the choosing, and these conventions will be boss-controlled. ;

The Hugh I Baker Co. of Indianapolis today held a contraet for: installing ‘an acoustical ceiling at Shortridge High School, although its bid for the work ‘was not the lowest one.
