Alben Barkley
Spoken of For
President 1940
By Preston Grover •
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, — The
political dopesters are giving
■some attention these days to
President Roosevelt’s “good pal"
Senator Alben W. Barkley of
Xentucky as a likely candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
The floor leader of the Demo
crats in the senate has not indi
cated definitely that he is nur
turing any hopes of moving from
capitol hill to America’s No. 1
residence at 1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue, but several veteran pol
iticos here are betting that the
Kentuckian will be in the intra
party derby of 1940.
They point out that Barkley
as senate leader for the admini
stration will be a party ‘Big shot’
has name appearing regularly in
the newspaper headlines during
the next two years. If he hangs
Up 9 good record and watches his
political P's and Q’s he should
be in a strong position when the
time comes to choose the head
of the next national Democratic
ticket.
Season Always Open
All this presidential speculating
is pretty long-range, but the can
didate guessing season is seldom
closed in Washington. Of course,
the outlook for Barkley or any
other potential Democratic presi
dential nominee is contingent up
on whether President Roosevelt
himself is “drafted” for a third
term.
The Kentucky senator has been
a staunch Rooseveltian, with a
reputed talent for keeping on
good terms with anti-administ
ration Democrats even during
the fiercest stages of the battle
over the President’s Supreme
Court enlargement bill.
He was quoted recently in an
interview as being for ‘“the ad
vancement of liberalism" as a
Democratic party objetive. That
wos no radical bombshell for ev
en the most conservative <£Miti
cians. When was there a Demo
cratic, or for that matter, a Re
publican aspirant for the presi
dency who didn’t contend he was
a liberal, notwithstanding the
thousand and one definitions of
the term?
A Barkley candidacy for the
nomination Would face a tradi

tional politico-geographic handi
cap. Kentucky has only a hand
ful of electoral votes, and the
prospect of capturing a big block
of electoral votes—predicated on
native-son support by the home
folks—is the chief reason why
the Democrats have so often
picked a New Yorker for stand
ard bearing honors.
Furthermore, the party hasn’t
gone as far south as Kentucky
to choose a standard bearer sin
ce long before the Civil war.
Woodrow Wilson was a native of
Virginia and for that reason was
hailed by some good Democrats
as a southerner, but he was a
resident of New Jersey when
nominated.
The South could be counted up
on to be solidly Democratic; so
it was not considered necessary

tc have a candidate with particu
lar vote-gitting power in that re
gion. Nominees generally have
been chosen with an eye to their
sectional appeal in New York
state or the strategic agricultur
al Middle West.
There has been talk from time
to time that Senator Bennett
Champ Clark of Missouri might
fit the Middle West specification
for Democratic ticket heading
in 1940, but administration men
say he now carries what they
call the “liability” of being on
the other side in the court fight.
Almost anything can happen
between now and the opening of'
the next national convention of
the party. Yet none of the pract
ical politicians is saying that the j
Roosevelt loyalists won’t have a
large voice in that gathering.
