In his The United States News, David
Lawrence suggests the formation of a coali-
tion of democrats and republicans to elect
in 1938 a congress composed of men who
will “be pledged to the restoration of con-
stitutional government.” He would organ-
ize the Committee for Constitutional Gov-
ernmen—CCG—and raise a fund of $10,000,-
- 000 for the purpose of electing these men
on a non-partisan basis. Contributions would
be limited to not more than $500 from any
one individual.
Forgetting, for the moment, that Mr.
Lawrence always has bden pretty much
against Franklin D. Roosevelt and all his
works, his suggestion carries curious im-
plications. If carried out, his plan would
array one coalition of democrats and repub-
licans against another coalition of demo-
crats and republicans; for FDR has follow-
ers from both parties in congress and in
other walks of life.
Perhaps Mr. Lawrence would have been
wiser to have drawn the battle line along
liberal and conservative lines. He might
have had he enough nerve. To call the pro-
posed coalition of anti-Rooseveltites "con-
servatives" would be to damn it instant-
ly for the word conservative carries an un-
healthy connotation in this country. Every
time the average American hears it he con-
jures up visions of bossism, old guard ism,
die-hards and others who have stood in
the way of progresa in liberal government.
His feeling in the matter may be. and pos-
sibly is, utterly wrong; but it is ineradica-
ble.
Mr. Lawrence and other Roosevelt-baiters
would be wise to sing low and let events
take their course. In this country we have
a habit of swinging from one extreme to
the other quite without rhyme or reason;
and in he natural course of events the anti-
administration crowd is scheduled to whittle
down the democratie majority in the house
next year, maybe—who knows!—to wipe
it out altogether. The only way to head
- ' off this normal swing would be for men
of Mr. Lawrence’s type to beat their breasts
in anguish, call upon high heaven to wit-
ness the justness of their views, and smite
the administration hip and thjgh. They tried
it in 1936 and got their fingers scorched.
If they pursue the same tactics in 1938
they’ll get their fingers scorched again.
As a means of turning the Roosevelt
democrats out of congress. Mr. Lawrence’s
suggestion strikes us as a new all-time low
in political strategy.

From the Waco News- Tribune:
The sit-down strike of Cactus Jack Gar-
ner has left the tussle on the Potomac pretty
much unchanged.
This is shown by the failure of any visi-
ble results to follow his walk-out.
Mr. Garner, attending to an overdue fish- l
ing spell, probably reads the daily doings
in the senate, the daily activities of the pres-
ident and congress. If so, he finds they're I
still talking about the compromise court
plan, still passing appropriation bills, still
wondering whether congress can adjourn in
July or August.
After so many years, Vice President Gar-
ner probably does not read the stenographic
transcript of proceedings. If he should turn
through the Congressional Record he would
find this much notice given his departure;
"Mr. Robinson: I ask unanimous consent
that during the recess or adjournment to
follow today ’s session the president pro tem-
pore be authorized to sign bills.
"The president pro tempore: Without
objection, it is so ordered.”
This perfected proceedings in the vice
president’s absence; the rest of his burden
had been shifted temporarily onto other I
shoulders when he left.
It is to be hoped Mr. Garner will not feel
disappointed that the ripple of comment has
died out over the possibility of some break
between him and the president, or that spec-
ulation dribbled as to his reasons for going
away abruptly during the session.
After all, the fishing should be pretty
good in Texas now.

"shall.”
Should those officials follow the
constitutional mandate, they would
join, at least for those portions of
the year when the legislature was
in session, the lieutenant-governor
and the speaker of the house. The
former, as president of the senate;
resides at the rear of that legisla-
tive body * meeting place, and tne
latter has an apartment at the rear
of the house chamber.
They would, in fact, have better
reason to live in the state house
than the lieutenant-governor and
the speaker, because those two have
only the authority of the legisla-
lature as a basis for the privilege.
The legislature has jurisdiction
over that part of the capitol which
it uses and house and senate have
delegated part of that space to
their presiding offices for living
quarters.
The peculiar provision affecting
the comptroller, land commission-
er and treasurer was, of course,
the result of someone's bad spell-
ing. As anyone in doubt can verify
by consulting a dictionary, there
is a difference between "capitol”
and "capital." Whover typed the
