heen handed out by no less person

rotary of the Treasury, though oh.
viously not intended for the public

than receptive candidate for the

serving second term and that all

with n strict view to securing dele

Further than this, the Secretary OF
the Treasury Is said to have bluntly
stated that any senator. representa-

not. who has control of local machin.
cry must submit to the Roosevelt
yoke or have all his adherents sepa.
rated from public office. In other
words, whoever is for anybody else
than Roosevelt might as well quit his
job as let the fact be known.
President Roosevelt would not run
for third term. but, according to
