Roosevelt Speaks

Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York is definitely committed to campaign for the presidential nomination. In permit ting his name to be used in the North Da- kota primaries the governor broke silence with regard to his nomination aspirations that was almost as significant as that of his predecessor in the gubernatorial chair, AL fred E. Smith. However, 1t was as clearly understood that Mir Roosevelt was eandi- date as it was uncertain what Smith could or will do next June. To date there are two avowed candidates for the democratic nomination both governors - Roosevelt and Ritche.
 One factor that is apparently injuring rather than improving Roosevelts chances IS the continuous reference of his campaign managers to the number of votes that he commands at present among the delegates to the national convention. It is foolish to make such computations, for not one state has as yet chosen its delegates or signified in what manner it will do SO. For example, recent tabulation places ten of the sixteen Connecticut votes in the Roosevelt column. The remainder are doubtful, so we are in- formed.
 Perhaps it might interest the Roosevelt strategists to know that in all likelihood Connecticut democrats will name far more than sixteen delegates to the convention, ex- elusive of the alternates. Each delegate will have not full vote, but fraction of vote. This custom is followed in many states and was even used in Connecticut. It permits state where the delegation IS not so large and there are many aspirants to the few seats to satisfy every section and faction. While delegate may complain at not hav- ing one entire vote, he or she actually has complete vote in his or her own delegation. It amounts to one full vote in the delega- ton of another state.
 The New York Times in Sundays issue printed tabulation in which Roosevelt is given 678 votes, just 100 short of the two- thifds necessary for nomination. There are 286 listed as doubtful. Other candidates are allotted l90. That isn't conservative esti- mate by any reckoning. But when the Times says. Tn Connecticut a majority of the delegation is claimed for Mir Roosevelt and the remainder is listed as doubtful. .' then we conclude that the article is mere con- lecture. It seems to us that the entire Con- neetieut delegation might just as we'll be credited to Roosevelt as only part of it. We imagine that if the local delegates support any candidate it will be the New York gov ernor, provided, of course, that ex-Governor Smith does not enter the fray or declare himself for some other candidate. And there's the rub.

Twenty Years of Jiggs

George MoManus creator of the classic comic strip. Bringing Up Father, is being congratulated today. Jiggs and Maggie are just twenty years old yet continue along the self-sam route on which MoManus placed them twenty years ago when he con- ceived the idea of drawing comic strip around the lovable characters. The Water bury Democrat is proud to be able to say that it has had Bringing Up Father in it's columns for more than ten of these twenty years The strip first made its appearance in the Democrat on Monday, March 7, 1921. We don't think it has missed one night ever since.
 The world of comic strips has been revo- lutionized since those days when McManus, Tad. Blosser. Hrshfield. and host of other youngsters were gaining name and fame as the first comic cartoonists of American newspapers. Continuity has made its ap- pearance in the interim. But Jiggs and Maggie still remain true to their first love. No continuity of them. Just the same in- cidents in the lives of this couple, the down. trodden Jiggs and the bellgerent Maggie. Is it any wonder that their popularity has d ous feat for any cartoonist to continue one comic strip through twenty years of chang ing life. Yet MeManus has somehow magically done this very thing.
 He is certainly entitled to the praise that is being heaped upon him these days and to the nice things that will be said about him at banquet in his honor tonight. He will be congratulated by men from every walk of life, from the humblest up to the noblest. Statesmen of every description. bankers. clergymen, teachers. doctors, lawyers, mer- chants. .. name any calling. they all have succumbed at some time or other to Bringing Up Father When all other comic strips will have died out and have been forgotten, Jiggs and Maggie will still be as fresh and vivid in the memory of those who have grown to love the characters.

At The National Capitol
A Digest of Who's Who and Whats What
 By RODNEY BUTCHER
DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington. Two armies of the unemployed already have marched on the capital this win ter and there probably will be more. There is, in fact, no telling how many such movements may develop as congress beings to take up measures for unemployment relief.
 | The situation is likely to be- come painful here if the habit be- comes too prevalent. The city and it's police has adopted policy of welcoming, feeding and bar racking the marchers, but how long this policy wuold be continued | in the face of repeated visits is speculative. The 10000 men in the Father Cox "Jobless March" re- ceived nowhere near the attention and service accorded the 1,5O0 original Communist-nurse Hun ger Marchers' or a month before. Generally and comparatively speaking, the town was polite but somewhat bored.
 Lately there have been advance reports of an other Hunger March, early in February by the same singing, yelling, radical crew that came here in December, its numbers to be augmented by as many of the unemployed as can be induced to come. Although it seems only fitting that the snug and prosperous District of Colum- bia should hand out soup and sandwiches to visiting unfortunates, question doubtless will be raised as to how many receptions single group of demonstrators has com ing to 1t in the same season. In the case of this particular group the chances are bright that the march, CTS will be more militant and the police less patient.
 Nevertheless, the publicity pos abilities of these marches to Washington present a strong temp tation not only to the agitators and the rattle-brained, but also to such honest, serious social welfare workers as Father Cox. The two marches to date probably have done little toward swaying con- gress, but the more thousands stream into town for that pur- pose the more likely is that sort of thing to have effect.
 Demonstrators arrive quicker these days than in the General Coxey period because there are good roads, automobiles and trucks. Nevertheless one misses the rather spectacular habit of steal ing railroad trains which the job less armies of the '90s acquired. In some towns you never knew whether the next incoming train would be old Number IT bearing your Aunt Minnie or some purloin- ed fast express carrying few hun dred hungry men who would pile off and demand chow. Sometimes when a jobless army had no train the authorities would help them filch one in order to get the boys out of town.
 The Father Cox boys from Pittsburgh and vicinity made more of an impression here than the Hunger Marchers" because they were quiet and demonstra- lively patriotic. Whereas the lat ter were beliggerent and included a large proportion of professional malcontents, the Pennsylvanians had many artisans and white collar men in the ranks. They looked like real American voters, which was why Senator Jim Davis of Pennsylvania fell all over him. self in an effort to please. why several Pennsylvania congressman were attnetive and possibly why

 He said: "Her Trotzky twice declared in open discussion that our government has no other basis than force. The Bolsheviki main- tain themselves by brutal force; their arguments are cannon and machine guns. The Bolsheviki preach beautifully, but practice otherwise.

But I remember foolish words That you have said to me, And just how white a moon can look Above a wild plum tree.

even President Hoover received Father Cox, whereas he had ignor- ed the jeering radicals.
 
 Nevertheless, all jobless march, CTS, insofar as any legislation likely to pass congress is concerned, are alike in delivering demands as rad- ical as those of "GeneraP Coxey, who came 3S years ago, with the motto: Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards Men. but Death to Inter- est Bearing Bonds" The radical marchers of December demanded prompt cash relief, with $50 for everyone, and unemployment in- surance which would fully replace wages. And the mild Father Cox asked not only $5,000,000,0 ,000 public works relief bond issue, im- mediate federal relief appropria- tions and enough loan money (more billions) to "re-establish the farmer" but also a 60 per cent surtax on big incomes and a 70 per cent inheritance tax.
