...Carpenters' Republican Bill Hurcheson, the little photo-engraving union's tiny Republican Matt Woll, the Bricklayers' rich, potent Harry Bates. The man most likely to lead the new forces, when and if they break into power, is smart, Democratic Dan Tobin. It was open talk around the convention that he would go after Bill Green's job in 1940, striking a strategic bargain meanwhile with Hutcheson & Co., who are none too pleased with wishywashy Mr. Green...
