Political rivals Franklin D. Roosevelt may defeat Thomas E. Dewey in the state of Missouri. If he does and at this writing it is by no means certain that he will the victory will be solely that of Roosevelt the commander-in-chief; not that of Roosevelt the Democrat, as it was in 1932, or of Roosevelt the liberal, as it was in 1936. It will not even be that of Roosevelt the international statesman, as it was in 1940. In a contest between Roosevelt, the Democrat and Dewey, the Republican, U.S. President would undoubtedly be defeated, for the Democratic Party in Missouri is in a sorry plight.
