WEDNESDAY, JUNE as. 1953 INSIDE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY: BLYTHEVILLB (ART'.) COURIER What's Inside Democratic Party? Heritage Of FDR, Influence of HST, Hope Despite Ike Bv JOHN GUXTHKR Written (or NEA Service What's inside the Democratic Party? First, (ho heritage of Roosevelt. Second, the paternal influence, whatever it mav be worth, of Truman. Third, rival candidates, none of whom hate each other quite as much as do the. lending Republican candidates.

Fourth, baffling uncertainty who the candidate will be. Fifth, important differences. Sixlh, confusion. Seventh, in of Ike and everything, some modicum of hope. The greatest single, overriding advantage ihe Democrats have in 'he campaign about to be fought.

no holds barred, is the ''act 1 the balance of power between "IP his ihar.ped drastically, ith the i esnli that the Democrats arc now apparently the maiority f'rly in this cojntr, not the Recent Oalltm polls are ilimni- natme. 'rhe Democrats can expect poll 39 per cent the total vote In IS52, and the Republicans 3-1 per cent. nnependents people who say have no party up the remaining 27 per cent and will obviously decide, the issue. In 1918. the independent vote tvent .17 per cent Democratic, 43 per Republican.

But a poll taken March, 1952, lipped the Scpubli- 'ans -independents! to 45 per cent, whiel ihe Democrats'drop- TjV 0 36 pr cc nt, with 19 per cent 81 undecided. Even so, to win the Democrats will need to take only six million ndependent votes on the basis of in estimated total electorate of 55 Tiillion. The Republicans must take Tine million. Figures, like delegates, are not fixed objects. They may Change radically between now and November.

The impact of a fresh, ilowing personality like Eisenhower make millions of voters move ibont. The Democrats don't know their own be md quite possibly he will be some-' very weak.

Another presumptive advantage to the Dcmocrais is that a whole senenHion of voters has fsrown up knowine noihiiiR but Democratic rule. Many slightly older remember as a living, glaring fact the crash and rienression that preceded Roosevelt. That crash can stil be whooped up into a fluorescent topic Next, look at issues. The chief Democratic issue will be the substance of what I have jnsi the under-possessed, good limes for all. the welfare state.

The Democrats will alt.iks the Republicans as "the parly of the rich and the privileged few. who will forset about the working people and bring on another Hoover denression with bread lines and millions of unemployed." Rebutting the Republican charge that they are going to "socialize" America, the Democrats will say that, on the contrary, their reform's will benefit the free enterprise system, and that the net result of the New and Fair Deals lias been to prodtlc the most prodigious national income any country has evr known. On budget, and taxes, the Democratic vicwnoint is defensive. Just let a Republican administration try to run this country without high taxes, they say. Third, communism and foieien policy.

The. Democrats will attempt lo repudiate Ihe Republican accusation that they have been soft, to communism, and will say that contrariwise, they have done a' tremendous job In combatin? world communism.
