EYES TURNED ON 1886
CONGRESSIONAL RACES
Roosevelt Will Make Cabinet Sc
lections During Georgia Visit
Late Next Month.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Democratic national organiza-
ton. having elected Franklin D. Roose-
velt President. must soon tackle the job
of. helping to make the Roosevelt ad-
miristration success. This is just
another way of saying it must lay the
ground for another Democratic victory
in the congressional campaign of 1884
and Democratic victory in 1886 when
a President is chosen.
James A. Farley. chairman of the
eralissimo of the Roosevelt campaign
which ended so successfully November
8, is to come to Washington. according
to reports, soon after the first of the
year He will hold down his job of
national chairman in the headquarters
maintained during the last four years
in this city. The campaign headquar-
tiers was located in New York City.
With Mr. Farley's advent to Washing
ton, it IS expected that such part of the
headquarters as still remains in oper-
alton there will be discontinued or
moved to this city.
Faces Difficult Job.
When Chairman Farley comes to
Washington he will have a man-sized
job on his hands. Next to Gov Roose-
welt himself. the national chairman
is the most sought after man in the
country today: The answer is jobs;
jobs. great and small. While it is per-

The building process, from the cabinet
down, is now in process.
Mr. Farley is not the only leading
Democrat who is besieged for appoint
ments. Democratic Senators and men,
bers of the House are being swamped
with requests for positions. The re-
quests. always numerous when one
political party goes out and another
comes into office, are vastly increased
because of the lack of all kinds of en-
ployment owing to the depression.
Every Senator and every Representative
literally receives hundreds of letters,
asking for appointment. The DEM
ccrats receive naturally far more such
requests than the Republicans, since
they will soon be in a position to deal
out the patronage.
Roosevelt to Go South.
Gov Roosevelt, after the New Year,
is to go South. probably about January
18- In a measure the President-elect
will be less accessible to the job hunters
tran Chairman Farley. Certainly that
will be true in Georgia, and visitors, it
is understood will be welcomed only
when and if the President-elect invites
them to come to see him. 1t is there
that Gov. Roosevelt will get down TO
tie business of picking his cabinet. This
does not mean that he has not given
thought to the selection of his official
family already. But those who are close
to the Governor insist he has made no
commitments regarding the cabinet
posts. and that he has still to make the
actual selections and invitations For
this reason his visitors at Warm
Springs on his next visit to that place
will be scanned eagerly. in an effort
