WASHINGTON Letter
By " NDaley

Washington, September 16-Real
political economy is forecast for the
Presidential campaign of 1882. Re-
publican and Democratic leaders pre-
dict the smallest outlay of money in
recent years, due to the business de-
preston, which has made for slim
pickings among formerly generous
campaign contributors. During pros
porous days when the tills of either
political party neared the point of de-
flation a call on some of the so-called
party angels" was sufficient to bring
forth the needed funds. The financial
statements of both parties now tell sad
stories. The quarterly report of the
Republican National Committee to the
Clerk of the House Of Representatives
disclosed that the G. o. p. is scraping
the bottom of it's war chest, while the
latest Democratic National Committee
report shows large deficit.
Administration leaders are casting
an anxious eye at the activities of the
American Legion and other soldier
organizations. There is every indica-
ton that the veterans will present a
united front next December in de-
handing instant liquidation of the re-
naming two billion dollars due on
the bonus. The Veterans of Foreign
Wars already have adopted such
plank, despite Administration plead
ings. and it seems probable the Amer

left Monday morning for Des Moines,
Iowa, in his auto. After a short stay
there he expects to go to Washington,
D. c., New York City, and other points
to confer with Democratic leaders,
and will likely be very active in the
campaign of 1892. During the past
year or two Mr.. Justesen has devoted
much of his time to writing in Wal
lace's Farmer of Des Moines, and 9TH
er publications. He has read much, is
a student of affairs, and as such is
in a position to do much good to those
whom he campaigns for, and for the
furtherance of principles he upholds.
He was a delegate from the Tenth
Minnesota district to the national
Democratic convention in Houston,
Texas, in 1928.

supporters in Congress are preparing
for bitter fight, but leaders of SOL
der organizations seem bent on the
slogan of bonus for Christmas"
Politicians friendly to William M.
Butler, Republican National Chair
man during the Coolidge Administra-
tion. have started rumor that Butler
will be the next chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee. Repub-
licans in general have not given the
story much credence, though here and
there is found a Republican who de-
clares that Mr.. Butler made a good
chairman when he was in command.
In the meantime Senator Simeon D.
Fess of Ohio, the present national
chairman has given no indication Of
vacating his present job and will no
doubt hold on until the next Repub-
lican national convention.
Republican and Democratic national
committee headquarters continue to
receive communi atoms and represen-
tatives from the principal cities of the
country extolling the advantages of
holding the national conventions of
1882 in their cities. Cleveland will
no doubt make a strong plea for the

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

Despite the fact that a decrease in
the Swedish-born population of San
Francisco and Oakland, CAL, had been
looked for, an analysis of the recently
published census tables shows that
there are 1,204 more Swedes in the
two cities than at the time of the
1920 census. In San francisco there
are 1852 persons born in Sweden; in
Oakland, 1854; the corresponding
figures for 1920 were: San Francisco,
6,469; Oakland, 1853.
