...President have since differed. He began to talk of trimming New Deal expenditures. Last summer he answered Secretary Wallace's Whose Constitution? in a speech called Our Constitution. Last August in mid-campaign he resigned from the Democratic National Committee. His reason presumably was the nomination of wild Terry Carpenter for the Senate on the Democratic ticket, but his letter to Chairman Farley had a two-edged paragraph: "I cannot work for the election of any candidate masquerading as a Democrat who is a Democrat in name only and who neither understands nor cares at all for the fundamental...
