Those difficulties always have and always will force him to wiggle and squirm and sprout additional gray hairs. The newest problem worrying po liticians la the Townsend old a pension proposal. Promoters of that fantastic scheme are paining such a headway that even James A. Far ley, postmaster general, chairman of the Democratic national commit tee and chairman of the New York utate Democratic committee. Is cur rently reported to be developing frowns on his otherwise smilin face. When Mr. Farley begins to pet worried, there Is cause, Indeed for all of the other poHfelnns. big and little, to get worried. The Re publicans also are concerned about the Townsend plan. Hut It Is not quite as Important to the Republicans as It Is to the Democrats to take a stand on the Townsend plan because the Democrats are In control of the national administration and obviously they are on the defensive. The battle being pressed by Mr. Townsend and his satellites Is no Email concern. Impossible as It Is of Alteration ; doomed to ultimate fall-tiras such a scheme must definitely be. It continues to expand In Its scope of political Influence and has arrived at the point where It constitutes a uiwer that must be reckoned with by all. I inn convinced that anyone who will analyze the Townsend plan cannot help arriving at the conclusion that it Is comparable to the fantasy bubble." When of the "Mlssls-dppthe Mississippi bubble broke, not thousands but millions were If not utterly destroyed, anil their economic future, so glowwas completely ingly painted, wrecked. Washington. A a problem confronting e i The Townsend plan which contemplates payment of two hundred dollars per month Toivnsend to the Indigent Is one those Plan things that develops Invariably In periods of economic distress. It Is distinctly a product of hard times. When people are out of work and without resources: when they are suffering, they are always prey to any and all argument offering them relief.

Idle hnnds will tlnd some-thlnto do and the clever crook will take advantage of the situation. While every one who has talked with Doctor Townsend recognizes liis sincerity, his earnest desire to relief for the aired ami Indigent population. I believe It Is an Indisputable fact that Doctor Townsend's plan would not get to first bae except for the fact that this country now has millions of Citizens who are almost If not quite without food.
