POLITICS ARE
REVIVED AGAIN;
CONTEST AHEAD
VARIOUS FORCES BEGIN LIN
ING UP FOR CoNGREssIoN-
AL ELECTIONS TO BE HELD
DURING COMING YEAR
By HERBERT PLUMMER
(Ry Associated Preasl

WASHINGTON, July 81. -
Aside from the fact that congress
sional elections of next year will
be highly significant because all
the new crop of democratic rep
resentatives must run again, the
senate side of the political picture
must come in for consideration.
In the tidal wave of votes that
swept Franklin Roosevelt into the
presidency in 1882, the republic
can Old Guard of the senate was
all but engulfed.
That the old wheelhorse of re-
publicanism, Jim Watson of In
diana, was shunted from a place
in the national spotlight that
dates back as far as 1894. Reed
Smoot, dean of the senate and
epitome of the G. o. P. went down
in defeat before a young profess
sor in Utah, novice at politics.
And George Moses, the scintil-
lating wit and satirist of the Old
Guard, fell before the attact of
a newcomer in national politics in
New Hampshire by the name of
Fred Brown.
Hors De Combat
These were the major casual
ties the Old Guard suffered in the
fall of 1882. There were others,
such as Glenn of Illinois, Bingham
of Connecticut and Thomas of
Idaho. all republican stalwarts.
Nexe year, another section of
the Old Guard must face the cleo
torate. What will happen to them?
Glance down the list of those
that are up for reelection in 1884.
There are II republicans, Ia dem
ocrats and one farmer-laborite.
Heading the list is Austin of
Vermont, as solid in his republi-
canism as the granite for which his
state is famed. There's Fess of
Ohio, republican keynoter at the
Kansas City convention in 1928.
Hale of Maine, who occupies the
seat in the senate his father once
had, is another. DR.. Hatfield of
West Virginia must run.
Then there's Hebert of Rhode
Island, eastern campaign, to say
nothing of Dave Reed of Pennsyl-
vania.
There are others such as Kean
of New Jersey, Patterson of Mis-
souri,. Townsend of Delaware,
Vandenberg of Michigan and Wal
colt of Connecticut whose poll
ties are as regularly republican as
the clock.
As 1884 Approaches
How will the "new deal' affect
the political figures of these sem
ators? What will happen be-
tween now and the nominating
and election campaign of 1884?
They all admit at the present
that the great game of politics is
suffering from the doldrums. The
wisest of them are waiting for the
breaks. Some, of course, already
have started campaigning, but it
consists for the most part in
mending political fences in an UNI
obtrusive sort of way.
But 1884, after all, is not so
far away. They must get under
way soon and make up for lost
time.

SWANSON MUCH
LIKED AS HEAD
OF NAVY UNIT
EXPERIENCE BEHIND vETER-
AN SENATOR REFERRED TO
BY FOLKS AT CAPITAL
WHEN HE is SELECTED
By HERBERT PLUMMER
(By Associated Pres1b

| WASHINGTON, July 81
When President Roosevelt reach
| ed into the senate and named that
veteran of politics, Claude Angus
tus Swanson of Virginia, as his
secretary of the navy, his an
| nouncement accompanying his
selection was.
81 like the cut of his jibs."
Washington political observers,
however, professed to have an
| other explanation for Swanson's
induction into the Roosevelt cab
met. They limited that Harry
Flood Byrd, admittedly power in
Virginia politics, was anxious to
get to the senate.
Virginia's other senator, Car
ter Glass, had rejected the offer
to become secretary of the treas
ury. An offer was made to Swan
!, son. He accepted and Byrd took
his place in the senate.
Whatever went on backstage,
the fact remains that at the age
of II, and with 40 years of public
service behind him, Swanson is
running Uncle Sans navy and
drawing much commentator for
his work.
Lets Others Pilot
The courtly, dignified Virgin
ian, unlike his predecessor, Secre-
tary Adams, is not "sea-going
, man." He likes to sail and be
on the water. but he wants some
one else to do the plotting.
But in every other respect he
+, is "sea-going." He knows the
needs of the navy and what is
perhaps more satisfying to the adj
mirals and others in the navy
high command-he has a pride in
| the fleet.
For years he was member and
] for a time chairman of the sem
ate committee on naval affairs.
There he received his knowledge
of ships and the sea.
It was while he was serving as
chairman of the naval affairs COM
mittee that he came i'm intimate
contact with President Roosevelt,
who was then assistant secretary
of the navy. That association
doubtless had a large part in de-
Itermining Roosevelt's selecting him
for the navy portfolio.
They say down at the navy that
Secretary Swanson's methods of
administering affairs of his de-
partment are different from those
! of his predecessors and are pecu-
liarly his own.
Details to Others
He is content to define broad
policies. He leaves the job of
working out the details to Henry
L. Roosevelt, the assistant secre-
tary, and the admirals.
He sees a lot of people every
day. Also much of his work is
done on the outside.
He has been in congress too
long to be content to remain at
his desk at the navy department.
When congress was in session he
liked to frequent his old haunts at
the capitol and seek out old cron-
les.
This trait should stand him in
good stead when congress gets
around to providing for the future
of the navy. Those cabinetecrs
who have served "on the Hill"
somehow have the knack of talk
ing to senators and representa-
tives about the problems of their
departments in language they can
understand.
