MAD CAMPAIGN "MAY RESULT IN SANER AMERICA

(Techniques ‘to Improve on Democracy Have Been High-lighted.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY | Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 4—With the return of post-election sanity, some improvement to democratic processes may be developed by the experiences. of this mad campaign, many observers here believe. They are techniques which have been thought about enough to have been incorporated into Congres- - sional bills, but about which sufficient public interest never has been aroused to cause Congress to consider them seriously. One of them has been dramatized no end, of course, and that is the third term. [Nearly every Congress has proposals’ made to amend the Constitution to limit

the Presidential terms to two of

four years each, or to create a single six-year term. [So far noth-

ing has ever come of them. There Are Other Programs

But there are other programs for making majority rule| more effective which have been touched on but not developed in this campaign. One is the matter of the party conventions in ‘which the people, as such, have had littie to say. - Republicans claim that the Ehi-

cago Democratic convention was a].

“machine-made” set-up for F. D. R. Democrats retort that Wendell L. Willkie’s name never was entered in a single G. O. P. primary and that packed galleries and a deluge of telegrams “hi-jacked” the nomination for him at Philadelphia. - On June 5, 1939, Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont), introduced a joint resolution which would have eliminated such| debate. It provides that the Constitution be amended to require party convention delegates to cast /their ballots for nominees for President and Vice President as instructed by special State primaries and that the majority rule prevail. - In case of a tie, the convention would then be permitted to select one of the two. Should the election tomorrow turn out to be as close 4s some polls predict, there is the possibility that the winner of the majority vote in the Electoral College would not have a majority of the popular vote.

Similar Plan Beaten

Rep. Clarence FP. Lea (D. Cal) has a joint resolution pending which would make such a result impossible. It provides for the abolition of the electoral college system of electing ‘President and [Vice President and substitutes direct election by states. Thus whichever ticket gets the most votes wins. Senator George Norris (Ind. Neb.) obtained| Senate ‘approval of the direct Presidential election plan in the Seventy-third Congress back in 1934 by a vote of 42 to 24, but twothirds is necessary for a Constitutional amendment. A similar plan ‘was defeated 52 to 29 in 1932. Sixty-four votes are necessary for passage in the Senate. Since [the campaign! which is about to close pointed up these issues so sharply they may receive serious consideration by [the Seven-ty-seventh Congress which convenes in January, it is predicted.

'On the Spot’

Being right on the spot when his draft number was drawn and not even noticing it was the unique experience of Robert M., Menaugh, Salem, Ind. As Buperintendent of the House

Radio Gallery, Mr. Menaugh was on -N,

the stage when the drawing was ' inaugurated by President Roosevelt and other officials. He was there to take care of the broadcasting. He was busily engaged in a conversation with one of the Army officers, however, when the 1518th number was drawn. That number was 4410. Soon Mrs. Menaugh, who had been sitting in the Auditorium watching, was by his side. She interrupted the conversation with: “Bob! They got your number!”

HELP BY STAYING ouT, WELLS ADVISES U. S.

LOS ANGELES, Nov.4¢ (U.P.).— H. G. Wells, British author, said today he would “like to see America conduct her affairs so that she can participate in the post-war settlement to come as a power for peace.” Here on a lecture tour, the 74-year-old novelist believed the United States could best aid England in the European war by staying out of it.

‘BREAKS’ LIKELY TO DETERMINE VOTES OF MANY

Both Willkie and Roosevelt, Expected to Suffer From Missteps.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—~—When historians come to write the story of the 1940 Presidential campaign they will need to weigh the part that “breaks” have had in influencing votes. The good effects of months of campaigning and buildup, history shows, can be wiped out in a minute with an unfortunate phrase or a political ' misstep. There was the “Rum, Romanism and Rebellion” remark by the Rev. Mr. Burchard, which boomeranged to help defeat James G. Blaine. In 1916 Charles Evans Hughes’ failure to pay his respects to Senator Hiram Johnson cost him California and the Presidency. ; None of the breaks of the current campaign may be in a class with these, but in traveling with each of the candidates this, reporter has surmised from the reactions of crowds that some of them have cut deeply. Beginning at Elwood

They began the day Wendell Willkie stood in the broiling sun at Elwood to deliver his acceptance speech. Perspiration befogged his glasses and hindered his reading— which may have had much to do with the fact that this speech was regarded widely as a flop. Mr. Willkie moved on to Illinois for the beginning of his tour of the West, and there blurted lout his “To Hell with Chicago” crack. He floundered again the next day in a clumsy allegation that President Roosevelt had helped sell Czechoslovakia “down the river’’ at Munich. But his control improved, and soon the breaks were going the other way. President Roosevelt, . disdaining avowed campaigning, but finding it convenient to make “military inspection trips,” made the mistake of letting local politics board his train on these excursions. Most of his “inspections” were of the most casual sort. Most of them were in politically doubtful states. Mr, Willkie’'s audiences laughed and cheered as he talked about the “make-believe” trips.

LaGuardia Loses Temper

“I want to be a captain, too,” was a sign that floated over hundreds of Republican parades and rallies after Elliott Roosevelt, the President’s son, was given an Air Corps captaincy. The captain's attempt to resign later didn’t help. Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia went to Detroit for a speech, and when someone taunted him for his campaign relationship with Ed Flynn, New York Democratic boss, he went for the man’s neck. The Little Flower didn’t do Mr. Roosevelt any good there, either. Eggs, vegetables and wastebaskets were tossed at Mr. Willkie all over the country, and finally politicians began to see that it was not Mr. Willkie's candidacy but Mr. Roosevelt’s that was being hurt by such tactics. Once or twice an object struck Mrs. Willkie. The Negro division of the Democratic National Co ttee published a pamphlet in which Mr. Willkie’s German background was attacked. That very night the G. O. P. nominee, speaking in Albany, met the smear head-on and he referred to it a number of times later in his campaign. It almost unquestionably made him votes.

Farley Affects Irish

Near the end of the campaign, Stephen Early, secretary: to the President, had an altercation with a Negro policeman as he was about to hoard Mr. Roosevelt's train in New York City. The incident may have resulted in a serious defection of Negro votes—just as the President’s Virginia “dagger -in -theback” speech cut into his strength among Italian-Americans. In his Boston speech the President called Joseph P. Kennedy “my ambassador”—an allusion that quickly drew fire from Republicans. Another factor which may have weighed against the President was the departure of James A. Farley as national chairman. Not only has Mr. Farley’s political acumen been missed by the Derhocrats, but the widely held belief that he was treated unfairly is thought to have lost Mr. Roosevelt thousands of Irish votes. Politicians have been baffled In their attempts to say how deeply the third-term issue has cut. Similarly, the draft is believed to be weighing against Mr. Roosevelt, but no one can measure its effect Jac curately.

VETERAN DISAPPOINTED

What do people think of Willkie? And how do people expect to vote? “Here is how public opinion divided on the question: ‘Which one of these four statements comes closest to expressing our own views about the coming election?’

BURGLAR SLAIN FROM AMBUSH

A Negro, fatally shot last night at the William Rubly Plumbing & Supply Co., 121 S. East St., today was identified by fingerprints as James Montgomery, 21, of 614 E. Miami St., a parolee, police said: Ambushed by Charles Rubly, 34, and John Rubly, 25, both of 5911 Madison Road, who were attempting to solve a series of recent thefts from the plant, the Negro died a half hour after he was shot. The Rubly men, sons of the com= pany owner, told police the company warehouse had been entered several times and bags full of supplies stolen. Since these burglaries happened generally on Sunday the men said they armed themselves and waited for the prowler last night.
