Show THE OGDEN SUNDAY MORNING DECEMBER 24 1939 LJL7EL1 GMT ON GOV BRICKER C FOR PRESIDENT Here's Other Side of Picture Of 'Possible Candidate For White House By WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Staff COLUMBUS O — Ohio's dark horse In the 1940 presidential race who up' to now has stayed quietly in his stall munching gubernatorial oats has been goaded by criticism of his policies in the relief situation into taking a slight canter into the national limelight Bricker John William C'Gov more sincere than most higherups in his repeated assertion that he "is not a presidential candidate" He has no Warwick or Farley or McHale grooming him He has no machine and no money behind him In fact he Is rather a lonely figure under the gay dome of the state capitol whose front and top are decked with red and green Christmas lights despite the famed Bricker economy program Vie With Davey McNutt a Looks disBricker Ls a quiet-spoke- n handsome man of 46 con- tinctly ly dressed in blue serge

straight in the face not without humor Given a high collar and 40 Bricker pounds of extra weight would however have a Jaint resemblance to Herbert Hoover He has been kidded about it more than once For the present Bricker is content to defend himself against what he interprets rather bitterly as an attempt to put him in a false position in the relief situation "Some of the insinuations £hat have been made about me id my administration are unfair ld immoral" he says "There is no truth in the sug gestions that we are unsympathetic to the needs of relief We instance for Cleveland said could find the money needed in and it did Our savings in running the state government of Ohio have not come out of relief We have actually spent more for old age pensions for In- - stance and for schools while reducing the cost of running the state by $10000000 as compared to last year's costs For one thing between 3000 and 4000 fewer people are working for the state than a year ago without materially curtailing services" - No Speedy Escort For Bricker For another thing there ls less rushing about the state in cars with screaming motorcop escorts Bricker hates that sort of thing He would not even wear a high hat at his inauguration He had told his state committee that there were to be high-power- ed no elaborate ceremonies Despite this several of his adherents staged an elaborate breakfast and later the bill was brought to Bricker — $220 Bricker went to a bank borrowed the money and paid the bill himself When this became known within a week 100 old friends around the city had paid 22 apiece in a 22 Club" move settled the note at the bank and sent it canceled to Bricker There are no 2 per cent clubs doing business in Ohio and build"If I ing up a campaign fund ever hear of any of that around here Til stop it very quickly" says the governor his normally voice rising "And furthermore people having business with the state today do it with the proper officials direct We've got a new
