THRD PARTES GBT “NO ENCOURAGEMENT IN THIS CAMPAIGN Warning for 1940 Contained in Lession of 1936 Says A. P. Observer By BYRON PRICE. (Chief of Bureau, the Associated Th ho heres y jose who are of building Niew political parties for 1940 will find cause for serious reflection in the les- ae of 1936, nly @ few months ago things were so badly mixed, and signs of revolt were so widespread and convincing within both of the old parties, that one experienced political leader pre- dicted five or six presidential tickets Would divide this year’s electoral vote amongst them. Figuring that the established order of alignments was definitely on the rocks, leaders of the Farmer-Labor party in Minnesota and of the Pro- gressive party in Wisconsin devoted many intensive hours to considering What they milghe do on a@ national scale, Preparations & @ brand new coali- tion party, to include conservative Democrats and Republicans, reached ® stage where serious thought was given to methods of selecting a can- * didate. The Socialists, Communists and other perennial “also rans" thought they saw a golden ‘opportunity to strengthen their positions. A group of labor leaders pondered formation of a labor party. The Townsend, Long and Coughlin organizations caused & lot of genuine worry among the old- liners; Yet what did it all amount to 2 terms of votes? None Got Far Just one newcomer, the Union par- ty, finally got onthe ballot in an ap- preciable number of states, but before the campaign was well under way it settled back into the ranks where voting strength is computed in minor percentages. Some of other lesser parties decided not to put up tickets of their own. Others nominated presidential candi- , Gates who spent much of their time advising the voters how to choose be- tween Roosevelt and Landon. . Apparently not one of these groups except the Union party benefited in the least from the wholesale bolting from the old parties. And even the Union party failed to attract out- standing bolters, Every prominent Democrat who walked away headed straight for the Republican corral, and vice versa. Nor did the Union party fail to ex- perience all of the troubles which set similar new organizations in or- dinary years. Many believed that had Huey Long lived, a highly powerful third-party Movement might have been developed around him, Since his departure things seem to have been shifting steadily back’ toward the ‘old two- party basis. x oe Oe 5 Labor May Be Exception The one possible exception, as mat- ters stand today, lies in the atill nebulous plans of some of Mr. Roose- velt’s labor supporters to launch a party of their own four years hence. The leaders of this movement point out that they already have a nation- wide union labor organization through which to work, and that. they. might not encounter, therefore, the usual new party handicaps. But experience indicates that far more is necessary. Dr. Townsend and Father Coughlin also had nation-wide organizations which functioned quite smoothly until they got into politics, Nor will any wise aspirant to new party leadership forget that the Re- publican and Democratic parties have one reliable and much-needed asset, namely, votes. Each has a constituency of millions who have stood by in thick and thin, in majority years and minority years, providing always enough strength to keep their respective organizations in the rank of the major parties, If there is any doubt about that, see the election returns for this unusually Uquid year of 1936.
