P. leaders are actually reconciled to a continuance of Democratic predominance for at least three more years. Down in their hearts they have very little hope of defeating Roosevelt in 1936, if he lives. They for have no outstanding leader ln mind who might carry their standard of victory two years hence, and they have no particular issue ln mind on which to base the Presidential battle. Half a dozen Important Republicans, talking privately to the writer, several Just before election day, and others as the returns were coming ln, voiced the same idea though, not of course, for quotation in connection with their names. Their logic runs about as follows: The Democrats have had a majority in the house for two years. Largely due to the fact that congress was so completely overshadowed by the executive branch of the government, this did not involve them in the majority troubles which a usually spells for the party having It They are now certain to have that majority for two more years. The extreme probability is that Roosevelt will be overwhelmingly in 1930. That means continuance of y majority for two morn the years, a total of six. Now, these Republicans contend, that is too much for any party to stand without developing rifts which will tear It to pieces. It is the history of elective parliamentary bodies that no party can go ahead without serious internal splits for a long period of time with majorities. deflnlt trip ticket fo' Euphonla Ticket Agent (after tea minute search) Lady, I can't find that St tion; where Is Euphonlat Mrs. Johnslng Settin right erat dere oa dat bench, mister.

Second, was his statement-f- or the first time of what he thought s fair rate of earning for capital ln moderately safe investments. It was 5 per cent True, this applied to first mortgages. But this is much better than business had any reason to expect Because Roosevelt does not apply the banker's percentage of losses to this calculation. He figures that with the New Deal working, losses on first mortgages would be Insignificant. There would be no terrible depressions and much more drastic supervision by the government. So It means very nearly 5 per cent net. Which actually is one of the most important bits of news for business that has come out of Washington for many a day.
