Anti-Roosevelt Democrats Offer j
Greatest Difficulties Convention
___i
By Byron Price
(Chief Bureau, Associated Press,
Washington, D. C.)
Administration political
leaders, whose first job is to
get Mr. Roosevelt renomin
ated in June with the least
possible friction, are find
ing plenty to think about.
The most conspicuous of
their difficulties arises, of
course, from the activities
of the anti-Roosevelt Dem
ocrats. Expectations of a
perfectly harmonious re
nomination have about dis
appeared. A dispute of
greater or lesser magnitude
over the platform likewise
has come to be regarded as
inevitable.
It is not the dissenters
from the Roosevelt polic
ies, however, who are re
ceiving first attention in the
present cogitations of the
convention planners. They
are faced with a less publi
cized, but possibly more
hazardous situation within
their own ranks.
In several states very
troublesome tangles have
risen between rival factions
which are all friendly to
the President, but cannot
agree among themselves.
Usually these schisms go
far back into local politics,
but they headup nationally
in quarrels over the selec
tion of convention delegat
es and state management
of the Presidential cam
paign.
‘Localizing the Conflict'
So far as the anti-Roose
velt movement is concern
ed, the effort of the admin
istration leaders is, as they
say in diplomacy, “to local
ize the conflict.”
Skirmishing at some
points is expected, but the
Roosevelt managers are pre
dieting that it will be con
fined to a very few states.
They hope that in far more
than enough states to nom
inate, solid Roosevelt dele
gations will be chosen with
out a contest.
In four or five places on
ly has there appeared, thus
far, any organized attempt
to send anti-Roosevelt dele
gates to the Philadelphia
convention. There is oppo
sition elsewhere, of course,
but adverse sentiment and
actual pre-convention or
ganization work are two
quite different things.

er Governor Ely has an
nounced he would work
for an anti-Roosevelt dele
gation. Governor Talmadge
is definitely seeking a sim
ilar delegation from Geor
gia.
Less definite movements
are under consideration in
Wisconsin and one or two
other states. In New York
it appears that A1 Smith
and some of his associates
will become delegates in op
position to a renomination.
Such movements may ap
pear later over a wider ter
ritory, notably in the east,
but few anti-Roosevelt men
predict that the total num
ber of delegates against
the President will be more
than a small minority.
Delicate Job for Fixers
One way of keeping this
total down is for the nation
al Democratic organization
to promote harmony in the
various state organizations.
Every campaign year, many
an incipient insurgent has
been mollified and quieted
oy recognition in tne state
campaign setup, and a place
on the delegation.
In this effort, the admini
stration has one advantage.
Three-fourths of the states
elect governors in 1936.
Each rival candidate for
governor hopes to be nom
inated, and neither he nor
his faction is anxious, in
case he is nominated to be
openly at odds with the
head of the national ticket.
The natural inclination is
to “go along” nationally.
Nevertheless, set ious diff
erences persist. In Califor
nia the Sinclair Epic faction
and the old McAdoo fac
tion have been battling ov
er the make-up of the dele
gation to Philadelphia, and
in Ohio the friends and op
ponents of Gov. Davey are
in similar difficulties. There
are less open complications
in other states among fac
tions all of whom favor a
Roosevelt renomination.
To have things as har
monious as possible after
the convention, the admin
istration political “fixers”
have had to step in. It is
probably their most deli
cate and dangerous duty.
They are learning from
bitter experience the poli
tical aptness of the old ad
age, “I can take care of my
enemies, but God save me
from my friends.”

Persia Angered
News Articles
Arrest Minister
(By The Associated Press)
Washington, March 31,
—Anger which has smould
ered in Persia since two
Maryland traffic policemen
arrested the Iranian Mini
ster, burst into the open at
Iran, which Persia closed
to Americans. The legation
and consulates there have
been ordered to pack up
and leave for home.
Some sources said that
Persia was hurt because cer
tain newspaper articles last
October were considered
discourteous to the Shah
and his country.
It was in October that
Minister Chaffer Djalal
was arrested and his chau
ffuer was charged with
speeding. Djala] was hand
cuffed, at which procedure
he objected. The officers
lost their jobs.
Secretary of State Hull
apologized but hinted that
foreign diplomats should
observe more strictly, Am
erican laws.
Djalal was recalled and
no minister has been sent
to replace him. This is not
considered as a diplomatic
break, as the American le
gation is still open at Te
heran, the capital of Persia.
