"Gil," with all his faults, was
superb hater. His animosity
for the Anderson administration
was something gorgeous to be-
hold. He blurted out fiat ques-
ton:
eff you are elected, Tom,' he
barked, will you appoint Bill
Meehan as your police chief. !"
The answer snapped back: mo,
I'll not. Meehan won't have a
chance"
cali right said Guilford,
"then, between the three of us
and not for circulation, as /
am familiar with the Corrupt
Practices Act, who do you have
in mind for police chief?" And
right here l want you farmer
labor party members and you
"all party for Latimer for any
Office" chaps to listen in on this
truth:
Latimer spun his hi-ball glass
slowly between steady fingers
and with the smile that has won
him SO many deluded followers
in the last twenty years, replied:
IF I am elected, and l feel
certain I will be, I shall APPOINT
Mike Johannes chief of police.
Is Mike satisfactory to you fel-
lows?'' We both replied in the
affirmative:
| want you farmer-labor
party members to read that
paragraph over once more,
but before you do, go back
to the beginning of this arti-
Gle and read Latimer's state
ment given out through the
Minneapolis Journal, Tyib-
ane and Star to the empha-
tic effect that his first official
act, in the event of his cleo
ton 7MH be to fire Mike TO-
names!
! Yet two years ago, when he
was a candidate for the office of
Mike Johannes zCds his
choice for police chief. Wait a
moment:
A few nights before the pri-
mary election, Tom was a guest
at my three-room fiat home
then on Aldrich avenue North. |
Guilford and his wife were |
there and again the matter of a
police chief came up and again
Tom declared his preference to
be Mike Johannes. He elabo-
rated further by saying that
Mike had the background be-
cause of his excellent service
Nth the department of Justice"
Johannes was no stranger to
Tom Latimer. Mike has been a
member of the police department

SEENsnd HEARD
around the
National Capital
BY CARTER FIELD

Washlngton.-The fact that Senator
Willard E. Tydings of Maryland Is so
far off the Roosevelt reservation Is
of far more political significance than
most persons not interested In figuring
electoral vote tables realize.
The Maryland senator had Just been
successfully called off In his Virgin IS
lands inquiry, and his row with Score
tary OF the Interior Ickes more or less
muzzled, but that is not important,
not to anyone who knows TydIngs. and
Maryland. Washington opinion about
that particular row Ia that the people
Tydlngs wanted to protect will be pro-
tected from the wrath Of Ickes, in re-
turn for Tsdlngs' piping down on his
public utterances.
Maryland has only eight electoral
votes. but is interesting because the
state always goes Democratic In years
when the Democrats win. nationally.
and is as independent as the proverbial
hog on Ice at all times.
For example In Democratic sweep,
In 1884, Maryland elected Republican
governor, the third since the Civil war.
And each OF the others served only
one term. Yet at the same election,
the state elected six Democratic men,
bers OF the house, and Democratic
senator.
To make the situation clear, 1t
should be understood that there were
three or four important reasons why
Albert G. Richie. the Democratic can
didate for a fifth term, was not re-
elected. He had angered the eastern
shore section Of the state by trying to
prosecute leaders Of lynching mob.
He was held responsible, probably un-
justly. for the collapse of several Inn
portant banks. And there was good
deal OF sentiment against continuing
the same man In office so long. No
other governor OF Maryland had ever
been reelected once. He was seeking
fifth term.
But 1t is interesting to note that the
one man who was sure Richie could
not be reelected, and who as q result
tried to get him to run for senator
which would seem at least to indicate
the opposition was not personal-Was
Senator Tydngs.

press conference was shortly after his
tax message. This was far different.
and far more difficult. The President
fenced and PARTED with the newspaper
men. because he had decided 1t was
necessary 70 put over the Idea that the
White House had not changed Its STRAIT
egy In the middle Of the play, but that
two senator's had entirely misunder
stood him.
Roosevelt knew perfectly well. as he
talked with more than a hundred fair
ly sharp newspaper men, that not d
man In the room believed what he was
saying. Every man there believed the
senator's had understood him correctly
and had expressed the White House
views-that the senator's were now
willing to take the blame as politicians
have done from the beginning of time,
on the theory that the king Is always
right.
This destroyed the possibility OF the
normal Roosevelt approach In handling
newspaper men.
Considering the difficulties, Franklin
Roosevelt did an excellent job. He
forced out to the public what he want.

Stesl Industry Shift.

The geographic center of ingot ca
paclty OF the steel industry In the
United States Is In Crawford coun-
ty. Ohio, north and west of the town
of Crestline, 80 miles west of Pitts
burgh, according to calculation
made by the American Iron and Steel
institute. Crestline has only two
small Iron fonndries.
The great concentration of capac-
lty In Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio
Is balanced by the capacity on the
Pacific coast, some o,5D0 miles west
ward, and by the mills In the Chi
cage district.
Since 1874, the earliest year for
which the institute finds records
available, the center of the steel In
dustry has moved steadily toward
the West, Sixty years ago 1t was
30 miles northwest of Harrisburg,
Pa.-Kansas City Star.

Brings Up Borah

Talk OF William f. Borah for the
Republican nomination against Frank
lin d. Roosevelt next year Is one OF
the most interesting political and eco
nomlc developments since 1892. Not
that there Is actually very much OF a
possibility that the seventy-year-old
senator will be nominated. but because
OF the various developments and roper
cussIons which started the talk.
What 1t really means Is that for the
first time since the Republicans lost
all but six states, In 1892, they are be-
ginning to chirp up. They are begin
ming to think that there may be pos
slbllIty of winning In 1896. Until the
last few weeks-in fact. right up to
the tax message-tnry had been say.
Ing privately that 1896 was too soon
to hope for. that 1910 would be their
red letter day.
The whole psychology at the present
moment Is based Oh taxes. The Amer
lean people are becoming tax con-
scious-federali as well as by counties
and townships. When Clemenceau re-
marked to Woodrow Wilson that the
average Frenchman would gladly die
for his country, but he would not pay
taxes to support 1t, his very accurate
comment appealed to the American
sense OF humor. But not any more.
The average American also Is begin
ming to figure that It may be very glor-
ious to 30 out and die for ones coun-

try on the battlefield. put ft's tough
to have to do without this or that or
the other thing he wants. or his wife
wants. just because taxes take so much
of his total income.
Curiously enough this tax conscious
ness, though 1t may have been In incu-
bation for some time past, did not
hatch out until the President sent his
tax message to congress. 1t was dis
cusslon Of the amounts the various
levies would raise, on top Of all the
fuss about processing taxes making the
cost Of bread and bacon and shirts and
underwear and what not higher. that
started folks talking out loud. 1t was
the realization that sooner or later 1t
was old John Taxpayer, In the middle
walks OF life. who would have to foot
the bin for all these New Deal expert
ments.

He's Top Dog in Maryland

Tydings very early In the game
picked George L. Radcliffe for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
Later on compromise, Radcliffe ran
for senator and was elected
All Of which means that Tydings is
by way OF being the top dog In Demo-
cratic politics In Maryland at the mo-
ment Moreover. he Is not worried
about the immediate future, for he
does not come up for reelection until
1888, two years after the Presidential
election. And Maryland has habit
OF always going Democratic In OFF
years.
1t so happens that Maryland is al
most the most conservative state In
the Union. Five of her six districts

rather conservative men to the house
She once elected a practically I'M
known figure, Senator Joseph /.

she was voting against man she re-
garded as radlcal-DavId ]. Lewis.
The chief charge against Lewis was
that he was sociallstieally Inclined
he had fathered the parcel post bill
Maryland, border state. always
went Democratic In national elections
until the free silver issue. She voted
for Mckinley In 1896 and 1900, split
her electoral vote In 1904, voted for
Wilson In both 1912 and 1916. and
then voted for Harding, Coolidge and
Hoover
There Is little doubt that the state
does not like the New Deal. II the
election were held today, and any fair
~ unobjectionable Republican opposed
Roosevelt. there Is little doubt he
would get Maryland's eight votes.
There Is something ultra conserva-
tive about both Maryland and vir-
ginia. 1t Is rather interesting that
Carter Glass, Henry +. Byrd, and Tyd-
ings are always found voting together.
The other Maryland senator. Radcliffe,
happens to be close personal friend
OF Roosevelt, but, as pointed out, he
was put In the senate by Tydings. and
has yet to demonstrate either real pow
er in the state or political sagaclty.
