KEYSTONE STATE DEMOCRAT- HOPE Pennsylvania Seen Slipping From Old Republican Moorings. BY TOM WALLACE, Editor of the Louisville Times PHILADELPHIA, June 26 (N.AN.A). —The Keystone State will be, as never before, a Democratic hope this year. As New Dealers see it, Penn- sylvania is slipping from its Republic- an moorings, and was slipping in 1932 far enough to indicate a Democratic victory in 1936. ‘The 1928 Republican majority of 1,000,000 was recorded when Alfred E. Smith was opposing Herbert Hoover; a wet Roman Catholic oppos- ing a dry Protestant. Rural Pennsyl- vania then was not as wet as it is now, in sentiment, although Phila- delphia was Republicans Won Kentucky. Even Kentucky that year went Re- publican by a huge majority. a startling event in the State's history, although, in State races, Kentucky had long since ceased being a Gibral- tar of Democracy. It had elected this convention that a committee should be appointed by the Congress | of the United States to make a study | of and report on the granting to the | residents of the District of Columbia ! the right of suffrage.” | The motion was carried without | debate. As soon as it had become | known that the Platform Committee | would not refer to the plea of voteless ‘Washington in its report to the con- | vention, Secretary of Commerce Dan- | jel C. Roper, who was the District’s member on the Platform Committee, | announced that the local delegation | would continue its efforts to obtain some separate expression of opinion | from the convention on the question. | After conference with District Com- missioner George C. Allen, Mr. Mar- | shall was designated to present the subject to the convention. The action of the convention was the sequel to a vigorous campaign car- | ried on by the District "delegation during the past four days to impress on the visiting celegates and on their people back home that more than 560,000 Americans at the seat of Gov- ernment have no voice in Congress and no vote for Presdent and Vice President The delegation. which is headed by United States Marshal John B. Col- | poys. selected Commissioner Allen to direct the national representation demonstration, and he did it in a big way. Another Tea Party. Bringing to the convention city a band of 25 real Indians, who have been camping recently on the banks of the Potomac, the Commissioner siaged another Boston tea party to emphasize the fact that taxation without representation still prevails in Washington, 160 years after the colonists rebelled against the same condition Instead of dumping tea overboard, | however, the Indians distributed it to the delegates and visitors in small packages bearing a brief appeal for nationel representation for District residents. By staging a war dance on the streets and in hotel lobbies the Indians carried Washington's appeal | to all of the thousands of visitors | from the four corners of the country. 1 The question also went out to the | country by radio when Commissioner | Allen and Representative Norton of | New Jersey presented the arguments | in support of national representation to the Platform Committee Wednes- day. Mrs. Norton is chairman of the | House District Committee and co-au- | thor of the joint resolution for consti- | tutional amendment that would em- power Congress to grant the District | voting representation in the House and | Eenate and the right to ballot for President and Vice President. .

Senator Robinson, Arkansas, majority He con- Democrat, of leader of the additional duties of chairman of the convention, arrives on the platform, takes one look around the crowded galleries and without delay pounds the gavel for order. It is 12:56—the con- | vention opens just 26 minutes behind | schedule. Now the daily prayer, this time by a Philadelphia rabbi, Inglestein, and some announcements by Secretary Morgan. Senator Rob- inson urges the delegates milling around the aisles to take their seats. Mack is now introduced by Senator Robinson as a lifetime friend of Presi- dent Roosevelt. A wave of cheers rolls through the hall. There's a little commotion now in one corner of the platform. Postmaster General Farley is up there, talking to a group of $1,000-a-seat boxholders. The ever alert photcgraphers go into action and another convention picture is made. Mack gets a cheer and another one, as he touches on some of the higi lights of President Roosevelt's eariy political career. It's getting increasingly warm in the Auditorium. Many newspapar men take off their coats and scme delzgates from the Southern States take the cue and follow their lead. Just two days ago the delegates in warm weather clothing were shivering. More cheers and scattered applause for Mack as he points out some of the achievements of the New Deal rion McDonaugh, petite niece and secretary to Representative Mary T. Norton of New Jersey, chairman of the House District Committee, passes the press stand and waves to a busy scribe Mack nominates President Roose- velt. There's a deafening din of cheers, applause. The Texas delega- tion rushes from its front-row seats ‘to the platform carrying a massive flag of the Lone Star State. The band plays “Happy Days Are Here Again.” The organist joins in, but the music can hardly be heard for the noise. Shouting, cheering delegates pour into the aisles and another demon- stration for President Roosevelt is under way.

Her political activities are confined mainly, it seems, to being an admirable hostess and mixer. Her attractive personality helps. Mrs. Earle is a native of Bowling Green, capital of Warren County, Ky. Within a few minutes’ drive from Bowling Green the cotton belt begins, in a few small manifestations. Some cotton, not a great deal, is grown all along the Tennessee-Kentucky border on the Kentucky side. Mrs. Earle is of pioneer and planter stock, was “bawn an’ raised” where there isn't any “r” in the alphabet, even in 1936, and only her Eastern education prevents, if it does prevent, her saying “you-all” ‘Therefore, nobody in Pennsylvania can say that being a Democrat does not proceed, in her case, naturally, from birth and early environment. The Earle-Earle partnership is therefore a rather unusual and po- tentially powerful one, not because women vote nowadays, but because women influence political history from time to time, and here and there, as the world goes 'round.
