 There is now in process of creation a great Liberal Party made up of all persons of all shades of political belief" said the Democratic National chairman. We are making political history these days under the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt"
 Of course supstanJially the same thing has been said on numerous other occasions when nothing came of it. But in this instance the Democratic chairman cited chap ter and verse to show on what his expectations were based; and whether his conclusions were jus tified or not, he at least was de- scribing a set of circumstances full of dramatic interest.

 Governor Roosevelt allotted three full weeks to his western trip at crowded period of the campaign, and in every speech he invited in- surgent Republicans to his stand ard.
 Tn California he praised public ly the Insurgent Republican Sen- ator, Hiram Johnson. and was an- swered by a statement of apprec- iation in which Johnson contrast ed Roosevelt with Hoover.
 In New Mexico he invited to the platform with him the Repub- lican Insurgent Senator Bronson Cutting. In Nebraska he was intro duced by the Irisurgent Republi- can Senator George w. Norris. and the expressions of regard and confidence were mutual.
 During most of this time Chair man Farley let other problems accumulate on his desk in New York while he joined in the west
