NEW YORK, Aug. ~2.-President
Roosevelt's maneuvers TO prevent
development Of a third party move
ment seem doomed to failure.
The presidents position is be-
coming increasingly untenable.
Riding on the waves OF an econo-
mic evolution, he tried to steer the
ship alternately to the right bank
and TO the left bank.
He has rescued" neither the
conservatives on the right bank
nor the ~progressives on the left
bank
Both sides have. in fact, devolved
themselves into two bitterly antag-
onistic groupS-and IL the rising
waters force them to board the
same boat, there will be q battle
70 the finish as to who shall guide
he craft.
Who VIII Be Pilot?
III workers and farmers should
unite. the choice probably would be
Senator Gerald =. Nye OF North
Dakota, a republican progressive,
or Senator Robert M. LaFollette II
Wisconsin, a progressive.
Those names are widely discuss
cd today in the interior Of the
United States .
Nye has cultivated the Coughlin-
Long-Milo Reno following. LaFol-
lette Is admired by labor. And he
Is expected to make a strong fight
for sfa linz tho rfrh
Republican Possibilities
Or the republicans may absorb
the third party movement-in their
bitter determination to beat Pres.
Roosevelt.
The republicans may even men,
ton a Knox or q Vandenberg or q
Landon or a Borah up TO the last
minute, and then nominate Nye-
as a candidate with genuine posi-
bilitieS of victory.
The republicans may eve de
fend" the constitution TO the last
minute-then urge a constitution
al convention TO put a stop to
"piecemeal economic changes, dis
turbing 10 business"
The republicans may even advo-
cate high income taxes, TO prevent
initiation. to preserve property and
property rights.
The republicans may even lower
tariffs In order TO stimulate inter-
change of trade-if. In return. sub
ventions TO farmers and processing
taxes r. removed.
In brief. the republicans. in order
to regain control OF the ship Of
state. may bring into force every
possible expedient.
And-to frightened property in
tereStS-the men who plot the
course may exclaim: We take this
radical pilot, we adopt this radical
course, 70 prevent your being
swept over Niagara"

100000 men in the field for Ethiopia,
Premier Mussolini today dispatched
$4,000 more troops to augment the
Italian army in East Africa.
1t was estimated that about 250,000
italians with another quarter million
native troops would be ready for the
Ethiopian campaign when the dry
season begins within two weeks.
SeIassie Awaits Geneva Word.
Emperor Halle Selassie awaited a
final word from his delegation in
Geneva before going ahead with mob
ilization plans, an adviser saying that
the Italians had crushing surprises
coming" if they invaded the black en-
pire.
Meanwhile the French and British
governments were in close consulta-
tion as to what the League of Nations
should do to prevent hostilities, while
diplomats at Geneva suggested that
probably nothing would be done until
fighting actually broke out Objec-
tions were voiced there to trying to
put out the fire before it really starts"
Sanctions Discussed.
The chief subject of discussion in
London was sanctions" with the
major political parties treating the
question Of penalties against aggressors
as Of primary importance.
Great Britain remained firm in it's
stand that all members of the League
should work together in the applica-
ton of sanctions or any other means
of averting an East African war which
might spread to Europe.

ployes flooded Congress with kilograms

by improper methods, some aliegedly
being signed with names taken from
tombstones and others with names
