in politics to get the start on his op-
ponents. He also Is firm believer
in attending to the contact and mis-
sionery work well in advance Of the
actual campaigning, and during his
talk here he dropped hint or two,
despite his expression Of optimism and
confidence, that he Is convinced some
early missionary and contact work Is
imperative. Therefore, it Is believed

soon will relinquish the Postmaster
Generalship.
Farley said politics was not dis
cussed during the Hyde Park session.
1t was obvious he was taking his cue
from the President, who early In the
day told newspaper men politics was
not to be discussed.
That's My Story"
When the laughs Of the newspaper
men died down. Farley grinned and
said: That's my story and I am going
to stick 70 it."
What did you find the condition
Of the country to be on your trip"
came the query
The country's all right, no matter
what they say" he retorted.
You mean politically"
"Yes, mean politically"
Did you discuss the Presidents
trip to the coast?"
Yes. We discussed It,"
"Hows California;"
Farley discoursed freely on the sub
ject and reached the conclusion that
California was 'all right"
How about New York;"
Vincent Daley and Bob jackson
(who attended the conference at the
Presidents home also) tell me it's
all right, too"
Sees No Money Problems.
Mr.. Farley said that the Democratic
party would have no dificulty raising
money enough to pay for the kind Of
campaign that would be necessary to
re-elect President Roosevelt and that
no matter how large war chest the
Republicans solicited it would do them
no good.
All this Is Just about what Mr.
Farley might have been expected to
say in any event.
At any rate, Mr. Farley did discuss
with the President the latter's forth
coming trip to the West Coast.
In answer to question as to the
number of speeches the President
would make on the journey. Mr.. Farley
said he did not know, but quickly
added that he urged the President
to deliver q speech at some point ir
the Midwest. He would not say what
the Presidents reaction was.
Farley apparently does not look
upon the Presidents forthcoming TRIP
to the West Coast as being political
or else he forgot he had Just said
politics was not discussed.
Four or More Talks Expected.
Although the President has an
nounced that only two speeches had
been decided upon, 1t Is known that
he has received scores Of requests
for speeches from Democratic leaders
in sections through which the presi-
dental train will pass. The impress
sion Is that the President probably
will make at least three or four
major speeches, besides q number Of
xkr,> +oI from fha train
and that he may make one or two
major ones before he arrives in the
East.
With Farley during his Hyde Park
visit were Mayor Kelly Of Chicago,
Charles e. Broughton, Democratic
national committeeman from Wis
consin; Vincent Daley, Farley's sec.
ond in command in the Democratic
leadership in New York State, and
Robert H. jackson, general counsel
for the Bureau Of Internal Revenue
and recognized as . political power
in the western part Of New York.
Strangely enough, following his
conference with these politically mind
ed gentlemen, President Roosevelt to-
day conferred with others recognized
as being familiar with politics, espe-
cially in New York State. On the
Presidents engagement list today were
James Townsend, Democratic leader
Of Duchess County, the President.

during President Roosevelt,s second
term as Governor at Albany, was

States district Judge in the south
ern district of New York and q
former president Of the Board OF
Alderman in New York City, and
Representative Sirovich. As in yes
terday's case, Mr.. Roosevelt wanted
