has done and is doing a great job"
Farley said "the country will never de-
liberately precipitate itself either into
chaos or into the arms of the old ex-
plotting reactionary group"
THE people have faith In him as
he has faith in them" Farley said of
the Chief"
Then. without mentioning him by
name, Farley ripped into former Pres
ident Hoover and named Ogden Mills,
Senator Dickinson, Republican, Of
Iowa, and Theodore Roosevelt. jr.-
Teddy the Little"-as possible Re
publican white hopes" for 1886.
He did not mention Long by name
either, but referred to tine quacks of
politics and economics who talk about
the redistribution of wealth and seek
to allure the American people into
adopting policies which they promise
would make everybody rich"
After charging Republicans of pre-
Roosevelt regimes with making "a
hash Of their own affairs" and for
standing by for three years after the
initial crash bewildered and
planless," Farley referred to Mr..
Hoover:
Now I am going to let you into an
administration secret. Who is the
man more distressed about the length
of the unemployment rolls, the size OF
the dole account and the vastneSs OF
the relief measures? More concerned

big business, or the political quacks
with their mad schemes for distrib-
uting the wealth of the country? Ill
tell you. 1t is the man who has to
meet the problems and shoulder the
responsibility. Franklin D. Roosevelt
has the Job and, unlike some OF his
predecessors. has no disposition to
shirk it.

Gently issued a message TO the Repub-
licans full of platitudes about the
evils of bureaucracy and the necessity
of a return to normal processes. but
gave no word as to how he would
handle the Job if he had another shot
at it."
Il might refer here likewise to SEN
ator Dickinson of Iowa who, appar-
emily, has the notion that he may be
the Republican white hope in 1886.
He explained the other day to Viz
einia audience that it was an easy
matter to devise a plan that would

was no more informative about what
plan he would suggest than was the
ex-President.
In my opinion the Senator from
Iowa had better look after his present
post rather than to the sterile dis
tinction of being the Republican can
didate for President in 1896. for I
miss my guess if Mr.. Dickinson does
not join the melancholy order of ex-
Senators after November next year"
Farley said that Mills. who is
shocked and grieved at President
RooSevelt's activity" was a worthy
successor to Andrew Mellon as Sec
retary of the Treasury in the last
administration" and should be an
authority on economic catastrophes."
He was a conspicuous part OF the
administration that led us into the
worst depression in our history" Far

ever comes to the political surface
again.
The Postmaster General said Re-
publicans were so enthusiastic" about
Teddy" Roosevelt that they were
willing to nominate him for any,
thing where defeat is a foregone con-
clusion."
