National Chairman Farley Tells Ney
Jersey Democrats No Discord
i'm Party leadership


Washington - James A. Farley,
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, in his recent address be-
for the New Jersey Democratic State
Committee at Spring Lake made it
clear that if Republican leaders were
relying upon discord or disruption in
the Democratic party, they were rely
ing upon false and futile assump-
ton. He said:
"You know, and | know, the van
ity, the futility, Of any such expecta-
ton. One by one, without exception,
the chiefs of the forces that fought
Franklin Roosevelt's nomination have
come forward and saluted the victor
and pledged themselves to his sup
port"
Referring to the pledge of the New
Jersey organization of whole-hearted
support for the ticket, Chairman
Farley complimented that sports
manlike and patriotic position" and
referred to Mayor Hague, the New
Jersey party leader, az "a clean,
strong, brave fighter at the head of
a militant organization" He said
the Roosevelt forces at the Chicago
Convention recognized the New Jer-
sey contirgent as the "shock battal-
ion of the opposition" and respected
their courage and resourcefulness
1--WE rather glory in your steadfast-
ness, for we anticipated that when
the thing was over, all the courage,
skill and determination that had beer
exerted against Roosevelt would be
translated into equal enthusiasm fol
the candidate of the Convention"
Of Governor Roosevelt's attitude
toward party leaders who favored
some other candidate at the conven-
ton, Chairman Farley announced:
"The Governor (Roosevelt) knows
no foes in the Democratic party
Convention enmities evaporated or
July /, The Governor has no rancol
as to anything that transpired before
the date of his nomination"
Of former National Chairman Johr
J. Raskob and Executive Chairman
Jouett Shouse, Chairman Farley said
Nobody has higher appreciation
than he Governor Roosevelt) of the
work these two Great Democrats die
for the party. The services they rem.
dered in the intervening years be-
tween the campaign of 1928 and that
Of 1912 stand out as one of the

ization and unselfish sacrifice in the
party's history 49,, These men have

Chairman Farley declared:
"There is no basis of fact for any
of these stories. Nobody has been
promised a cabinet position, an am
bassadorship, or anything else of that
sort. The Governor had no necessity
for bargaining
"Our candidate goes into the battle

The story, which is based on the
novel by Faith Baldwin, starts with
Lola and Ken, the two lovers, work
ing for their respective livings in of
fees. When Ken is offered a fine po-
sition in South America, Lola's sister
helps her in tricking Ken into pro-
posal of marriage which, Of course,
keeps him from going to South Amer
lea. But Ken is sincerely in love, and
so is Lola, and in the first flush OF
their married life they are very hap
py, but as they both work and have
their outside interests, the spirit of
competition enters. Through series
of quirks of Fate, it soon develops
that Lola has the better position and
earns the bigger salary-which does
not help the husbands vanity very
much. He turns to another woman. 1t
also serves as the basis for the grad
ual breaking up of their marriage and
the various adventures, misadventurea
and intriguing situations which make
up the balance of the entertaining
plot.

500. ooo,o 600 LEss--MAYRE

The announcement from Washington
that the budget about to be adopted will
show reduction of something like $780,
100000 must be taken with the proverbial
grain of salt.
1t is hardly possible that anything
like such reduction can be made. The
adoption of such a reduced budges would
have two different effects. It would first
seem to be confirmation of the charge
that the Hoover administration was unduly
extravaganza. Secondly, it would give the
Roosevelt administration an insufficient
appropriation for the basic needs of the
government.
The fixed charges of the government,
which include national debt principal and
interest payments, together with the care
of our veterans and other similar arbitrary
charges, are estimated to amount to ST.
600,O00,0O0 and cannot be reduced. This
leaves total of $1,4O0, 100000 of expenses
subject to possible economy out of the
whole expense of $4,000, 100000 of annual
expenditure.
To effect saving of the 500, GOO, 900
proposed would mean that during the first
year of the Roosevelt administration it
would be asked to get along with fifty
cents on the dollar of the former admin
istration's expenditures.
This is manifestly absurd and such a
saving as has been suggested is therefore
impossible.

RoosEvELT's TERM

It would be safe bet that Franklin
D. Roosevelt will not serve four years as
president on the strength of his election
on November g. And there is no catch
in this statement.
BY the terms of the lame duck"
amendment to the Constitution, which will
certainly be ratified by the required num-
Der of states, the administration OF MIR.
Roosevelt will end January 20, 1897, is
stead of March 4, as has been the custom
in the past.
Thereby he will have the distinction
of serving shorter entire term than any
other president, past or future. Beginning
January 20, 1887, the president will again
serve four full years
Members of congress will lose even
more days at the expiration of their cur
rent terms, as the new amendment pro-
vides that in future new congress shall
take office on January 8, instead of March
A., Thus future congresses will meet II
days before the new president is in
augurated.
There is no doubt that the change
provided by the new amendment is desir-
able. Heretofore members of congress or
dinarily waited about 13 months after cleo
ton before assuming their duties. In the
meantime many who had been defeated
continued to serve, these being called the
lame ducks. Hereafter members elected
in November will take office in January,
and no member will continue to serve after
his defeat at the polls.
The new amendment has been ratified
already by the legislatures of II states,
these representing all that have been in
session since it was submitted. Practically
all the remaining legislatures will meet in
January, 1888, and prompt ratification by
the additional 10 required is confidently
expected. In fact, it is doubtful that any
state legislature will reject this sensible
amendment.

THE STORY OF GAS

The history Of gas is, to great de-
gree, the history of industrial civilization
in the last century.
A little more than hundred years
ago the first gas company was organized
in Baltimore. II served small number of
homes with product which was often
viewed with suspicion at the time.
Today gas companies have l6,S0O,0O0
customers and serve population esti-
mated, in 1881. at S5,000,000.
Gas is major industry. It consists
of more than COO companies, operating in
1900 communities All but about so are
owned aud operated privately. In prac-
tically every year since the industry's in
ception sales have increased. To produce
present output, close to I0.000,000 tons of
bituminous coal. 400, 900 tons of anthracite.
1000. 900 tons Of coke and 960.000,000
gallons of oil are required. Where. in
1905, manufactured gas consumption was
1l2,444, 900. 900 cubic feet. it reached
$40. goo. 100000 in 1929. The natural gas
industry has likewise made amazing
strides.

eat again Reddy wriggled forward a
little. He was no longer in the black
shadows, but out in the moonlight and
he didn't expect to get very near to
Peter without being seen. He would
get as far as he could and then rush
for Peter. He felt sure that he could
run faster than Peter could.
Twice more Peter, sat up and saw
nothing. Each time when he dropped
down Reddy crept just a wee bit
nearer. The third time Peter sat up
he saw Reddy. That is he saw a dark
mass in the grass where there had been
nothing of the kind before. Instantly
he was suspicious. He gave a thump
of alarm and bounded of to one side,
where he sat up again to stare back at
Reddy.
Reddy knew that it was useless to
try to steal any nearer. He leaped to
his feet and was after Peter like a
flash. He was between Peter and the
stone wall, so he expected Peter to head
straight for the distant dear old Brair-
Patch, and he knew that before he
could reach it the race would be ended.
Peter lodged in that sudden way he
has, but Reddy was prepared for that
trick. He wasn't going to let him get
past back to that stone wall.
Instead Of heading toward the dear
old Brair-patch Peter turned in quite
another direction, his funny, little
white tail bobbing up and down in the
moonlight as he raced ipperty, lip
perty lip and gained a little. Once
more he lodged and then did a most
surprising thing He stopped. Yes,
sir, he stopped. And even as he stopped
there arose in the grass between Reddy
and Peter familiar form in a coat OF
black with a broad white stripe. II
was Jimmy Skunk who, having eaten
his fill of white grubs, had been lying
down in the grass and so had not been
seen by Reddy.
Reddy was running fast. very fast,
but he managed to stop with a sud-
denness that almost upset him. "EX-
cuse me, Neighbor," said he. II didn't
see you at all. hadn't the least idea
that you were anywhere about"
Jimmy said nothing. He didn't need
to. His tail spoke for him. That big
plumey tail was raised straight up in
the air It was a signal. Reddy knew
the signal. 1t meant stop! Don't
come any nearer!"
Reddy began to edge around as II
to pass Jimmy. Jimmy shuffied along
so as to keep between Reddy and Peter
Rabbit. Reddy is quick on his feet,
while Jimmy is slow. Reddy darted
around Jimmy at safe distance. But
that did him no good. At the same
time Peter had darted around Jimmy
the other way so that Jimmy was still
between the two. Reddy understood
now why Peter had been so seemingly
careless as to go out in the bright
moonlight to the patch of sweet clover.
He grinned, for Reddy is a good loser
