| Show Ins ide Stuff V V By PAUL MALLON NEW V YORK Nov Seer 6 Seer Farley Fancy is supposed to have a novel personal diagnosis of the political situation for f r President Roosevelt prior to the elections His scouts are supposed to have reported that tho the country is against a considerable portion of Farley the thc new d deal al but not equally against Mr D' D lag noses Roosevelt Situation That is s the theary Literary Liter Liter- ary any Digest preliminary trend poll may have b been en nearly accurate in sensing tha that the voters are arc roughly 3 to 2 against sonic parts of the new v deal program But the Farl Parley Farley y contention is that Mr M. Roosevelt's personal following is such that Ithe if It he ic had been ru running ning Tuesday against no one in parti particular ular the national re result would have b been en 3 to 2 in his favor Specifically the Farley Parley Farley boys expected expected ex ex- to suffer surfer losses in New York and ind Pennsylvania Tuesday but believed believed be- be they could have carried the states if Mr Roosevelt had been running In other words the consoling official of- of new deal inner viewpoint is that hat the country is now enigmatically cally In a duplex voting humor This is a ponderous thought if it nothing else It may sound offhand offhand off hand like an enigmatic advance excuse for some bad news which Mr Farley Fancy was expecting At the same time there can be no doubt that the tho foremost new deal politicos really believe it Likewise it explains why there has IRS been a lack of political perturbation perturbation bation indian on high lately Mr Hoover has not yet weakened to 0 the demands largely from his adversaries that he ho get on the 36 horse or get off Contrary to general reports he be will vIlI not make known his bis intentions in his speech here 10 Hoover Hoo days hence T The h e Keeps leeps Plans Flans speech will be in the Secret general tone of his Oakland address re re- re It will make specific indictments indictments indictments indict indict- ments against the new deal on specific specific specific points All of oC which indicates that Mr Hoover still knows how to obtain the he widest possible advertising for forlis his lis viewpoint His remarks will continue continue con- con to be on the front page If he ever renounces the G. G O. O P. P leadership leadership leadership leader leader- ship you may look for tor him on the stock market page or farther back Best diplomatic authorities Inthis Inthis in this his country have word that the British are sending two more mill mill- tary ary observers into Ethiopia If you think hink they are going there merely for or observation you are too credulous bus lous ous to be running around loose Top military men have suspected that hat the excellent Ethiopian dc defense defense de- de rense tactics from the start were conceived in British minds although although al- al though hough they have never been able to o find evidence to prove it it Democrats are buzzing among themselves already about taking advantage advantage advantage ad ad- vantage of Mr Farleys Farley's duplex voting voting voting vot vot- ing situation to stop the new deal at the next session of congress In fact the word among them is that a sufficient number of Democratic Democratic Demo Demo- cratic congressmen have already agreed on such a course They arc to stand ag against an any Bourbons Plan Flan more four our billion dol- dol Check heck on 1 I a r appropriations New Deal extreme social legislation legislation legislation legis legis- lation etc They are areo areto areto to o halt the new hew deal in its present tracks The fact tact is a number of congressmen congress congress- men tried it last session but were pushed into reluctant acceptance of most of the new deal You may be certain that whatever understanding exists among them now is purely personal and unofficial Also dont don't forget that White WhiteHouse WhiteHouse House prestige is higher in congress In campaign years The influential Republican ican crowd here seems to like Colonel Knox Ho He has attended some unreported luncheons lately with men of national national national na na- na- na reputation and appears to havo have impressed them What they arc are saying to each other is that he heIs heis heis is energetic willed strong-willed and sound This is not the downtown financial crowd but the midtown business authorities For one very strong reason they are arc not inclined to favor Governor Landon of ot Kansas They suspect him of being a prohibitionist No other Republicans seem to have been considered seriously es especially especially especially es- es not Senator Borah A private survey of state election la laws ws has been made by a well known Republican figure to show tho the futility of trying to organize a coalition ticket against the new deal It indicates that the coalition ticket probably could not even gelon ecton get gel geton on the ballot in 10 states That means the end of the movement Also the idea of nominating Colonel Lindbergh has died a natural natural natural nat nat- ural unnoticed death It is probable that someone hero here will start a movement for tor Babe Ruth next but not much can be expected from either Political lines are getting back on the old track double Democrat anc and Republican system where they were sure to go from the start |
