The Massachusetts senator probably feels this way himself, or else he might have accepted the vice-presidential candidacy behind Hubert Humphrey. On the surface, it would seem that Kennedy has increased his legislative power considerably. According to fellow senators, however, the whip joh is not all that influential. They -claim that the "real" work is done in committees controlled by domineering chairmen. Important Whip What importance the whip job may assume in the hands of a Kennedy, though, is a point of conjecture, of course.

One has to admit that his challenge and quick defeat of Long were impressive, to say the least. Other surprises the Kennedy may pull will be almost anti-climactic to this first one. A lot of speculation has arisen as to what Kennedy's motives for opposing Long were. Newsmen and others repeatedly have asked the young senator if his victory- signals an early bid for the 1972 presidential nomination. Kennedy hedges somewhat in answering By saying that the whip job carries with it a lot of time-consuming responsibility.

Every Knows everyone his eyes knows on the Meanwhile, Kennedy has White House. Still, the presidential aspirations aspec 4 of the victory over Long is not the most hopeful sign (though, indeed, it is exciting to think of another Kennedy president). What is really encouraging about Kennedy's move is that it seems that the Democratic party has learned a bitter lesson. If anything should have become obvious to the Democrats after the November election defeat, it is that the very coalition of Southern conservatives, long-time party regulars and Daley-like bosses which assured Humphrey of nomination cost him the presidency. Except for their allegiance to "party loyalty," Democratic politicians did not particularly care whether Nixon or Humphrey came out on top.

In fact, many probably wished that the Republicans would win nationally, just as long as the local Democratic machine could maintain its solid hold on power. These Politicians And at the very least, these politicians did not go out of their way step to help Humphrey's slow- starting campaign. Already a few of these Demos are hinting that they might leave the if liberals like Kennedy succeed in taking control. These threats mean little, if anything. NI one cares what such politicians say.

Indeed, as in Humphrey's loss, these persons hindered more than they helped. And they have been doing just that for years, by supporting national Republican policy while hiding behind a local Democratic label. It will be interesting to see, then, if the time for "purge" has arrived. Men such as Mansfield, Kennedy, Ed Muskie and George McGovern could use their great influence over policy to make it uncomfortable, if not unbearable. for those "false" Democrats who have restrained the party from progress.

These liberal leaders just might reach the conclusion that it would be advantageous in the long run to tell such old-liners to "like it or leave it, or else."

29 Jan. 29 Jan. 29 Eugene McCarthy's refusal to back Ted Kennedy's fight for Senate majority whip may have been either bad or good. Only time will tell. If McCarthy voted for Long, a person opposed to most reforms the Minnesota senator supports, because he a prudpe a- the Kennedys, the move was pettiness.

But if McCarthy voted against Kennedy because he truly believes, as some sources say, that "Kennedy's election would only give a semblance of party reform and the effect therefore would be retard actual reforms," he may have been right. After all, McCarthy in the past has been correct when others, including Kennedys, have thought him slightly crazy..
