In a Western Newspaper Union column, a veteran observer reflects on how the New York mayoral fight between Tammany backed Copeland and the New Deal aligned Mahoney signals broader 1940 election tensions. The piece compares Senate leadership era acts with current court reform and suggests Roosevelt’s influence faces growing conservative resistance. It notes Copeland’s charge of outside interference, Mahoney’s four boroughs backing, and the risk of a tight race shaping national dynamics.
