~ CAtC OcAdIe lOI lung ago. a reSOlO-
ton was called up by Senator Fess of
. Ohio to authorize the expenditure of
$50 on the part of the Senate out of
its contingent fund to match a like
sum on the part of the House to pur-
chase a wreath to place at the birth
place Of George Washington. Senator
Thomas of Oklahoma called attention
to the fact that the only way the
money could be provided was for
the Federal Government to borrow it,
since there is big deficit in the
Treasury now. A hundred and forty
three years after the birth of the
Nation which he founded the Govern
ment of that Nation did not have $100
to buy a wreath to honor Washington
two hundred years after Washington's
birth.
A straw vote taken by the Des
Moines Register and Tribune in Iowa
and reports from Michigan by political
observers and by political leaders are
giving the Republicans something to
think about. In rock-ribbed Repub-
lican Iowa the poll showed 18,764 vot-
ing for the reelection of President
Hoover, while 1887 favored the elec-
tion of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who may
be President Hoover's Democratic op-
ponent next November. But that Is not
ALL Alfalfa Bill' Murray of Okla
homa had 16,5O8 votes cast for him;
Smith, 1888; Baker. 4,201; Ritchie,
3,67o, and Young, 1,145. On the Re-
publican side, outside of the Hoover
vote Dawes had 1,498. This shows
more than a two-to-one vote cast for
Democratic candidates as compared to
those cast for Republicans.
The Republicans in Michigan are
fearful that unless there is big change
in business and employment conditions
there may be complete overturn in
that State. But to Offset these doleful
Republican representations there is a
belief on the part OF some Of the Pro-
