MUSICAL POLITICS
Time was when a man scarce-
ly dared run for president un-
less he’d been born in a log
cabin. The horny hand of toil
was good for an extra parcel of
votes, and addiction to such
roughly masculine habits as
chawin’ tobacco or eating with
the knife were positive assets in
the frontier regions.
But that time is long since de-
parted. Instead, the rough-and-
tumble of the quadrennial elec-
tion is beginning to show some
esthetic symptoms. In fact, 1944
may go down in our history as
the year in which culture and
politics joined hands, and music
really came into its own.
There is ample evidence to
back this assertion. Scarcely had
the cheers from the Democratic
convention died down when the
papers came out with a picture
of vice presidential candidate
Harry Truman seated at the pi-
ano. Next day the Republicans
countered with a photograph of
Mrs. Thomas E. Dewey at the
keyboard.
Now these were no “they
laughed when I sat down at the
piano” pictures. Both perform-
ers looked competent and at ease.
It was significant that the mu-
sic on Senator Truman’s piano
was dog-eared, proving that it
was no prop, but a well-used
volume.
Mrs. Dewey, as you probably
know, was a singer who appear-
ed professionally in musical stage
productions. She probably plays
the piano as well as most sing-
ers. And this talent, coupled
with her husband's well-known
musical attainments, would seem
to put the Republicans ahead in
the musico-political field.
On the other hand, there’s
Democratic Gov. Jimmie Davis
of Louisiana, who hasn’t let af-
fairs of state interfere with his
former profession of singer, com-

voice in song.
But that doesn’t mean that a
large part of his popularity isn’t
vocal. Through three terms of
office, his fireside chats have won
him a following of unprecedent-
ed enthusiasm. He is, we might
respectfully suggest, a sort of Si-
natra of the spoken word. If
anybody can beat him, it will
probably have to be a singer.—

Who knows, perhaps the de-
ciding factor in the Democrats’
choice of Mr. Roosevelt’s run-
ning mate was the fact that Sen-
ator Truman was the only pros-
pect who could slug it out, note
for note, with the Deweys. For
the President, though reputedly
a better than passable tenor in
an impromptu quarter, has been
