on that program, the
Guffey coal bill, had been driven
through the house by orders from
above and threats Of a strike, mi
when 1t was taken up by the senate
every effort to kill 1t. by eliminating
the tax feature, was defeated. Dur
ing the debate Senator Walter f.
George of Georgia. Democrat, created a
sensation by %denouncing the bill In
these words:
"Outside Of political circles, it Is
questionable whether there are five
reputable lawyers in the United States
who would declare this measure con-
stitutional. However, that Is not the
worst feature Of the bill. The worst
feature is the defect and infirmity in
the legislative program that we are
developing. This nation cannot re-
main free and happy. If we are to
legislate for groups. and beyond all
of that, II groups are to legislate for
themselves the end of things Is not
very far distant.
'That is the situation we have con-
fronting us. And to this kipd Of: pro-
gram the Democratic party is willing
to commit itself!"
Senator George was assailing the
proposal to set up district boards In
the coal industry, which would make
their own laws as to trade practices
and regulate wages and hours, allo-
cate tonnages and fix prices, with re-
gard only for their own interests.
"This Is the type of absolutism from
which we revolted to establish this Re-
public" he declared.
The house gave. up the fight against
the death sentence" In the utilities
bill and instructed conferees to
accept a compromise" that was pretty
much one-sided. This a that all
holding companies beyond the second
degree are to be sentenced to death
by the SEC promptly after January
I. 1888. Even a holding company in
the second degree would not escape
unless its operations were confined to
a single i~ntegrated system within a
state or within contiguous states.
Both senate and house adopted a

Observation-Disclosures Hoover is not
going to say anything about his pos.
stble candidacy for the Republican
nomination next year for some time
to come. That may be accepted as a
fact, regardless Of various stories to
the contrary. This statement Is based
on the Impressions obtained from the
former President by mi Of his close
friends, who had a long talk with him.
While no single word can be put In
quotation marks Of what Mr.. Hoover
said to this friend, the Impressions the
friend obtained are highly significant.
In a word they are:
/. That Mr.. Hoover Graves a vindica:
tion.
2. That he therefore wants the nomi.
nation very badly.
3. That he would prefer to have the
nomination come to him without effort,
either on his own part or that of his
friends.
4. But that If 1t becomes apparent
that the nomination will not come that
way. very little .coaxing would be re-
CURED to induce him to get out active
ly for it.
AS this is written-anything can hap
pen to change 1.-THE famous public
utility holding company legislation
seems destined to die, so far as this
session is concerned. Strangely enough,
a mere lifting of a hand by the Presi-
dent would result in Mr.. Roosevelt's
getting more than half a loaf-really
nine-tenths of a loaf. Even without
the death sentence the bill is terrifi-
cally drastic. There would be no trcu-
Bile putting the measure through both
houses of congress if the conferees of
the two houses should report the bill
back without the death sentence.

All this talk about Huey Long is
food and drink to conservative critics
of the administration. There is moth
ing they would like better than for
Huey to be an Independent candidate
for President. and to run in as many
states as possible. They figure he
would not get any electoral votes. save
possibly these of Louisiana, where his
machine controls the election machin-
cry. But they also figure that in GER
tain radical states, particularly in the
West, every vote he would draw would
come from Roosevelt's strength, thus
aiding In the election of the Republican
nominee.
No one takes seriously Huey's al.
legged statement that he would support
the Republican ticket If Borah we're
the candidate. Politicians think this
would never happen. Long before cleo
ton day the Kingfish would discover
certain issues on which he could not
