Political Brink

CT. summed up the white collar resentment against Roosevelt In tnl9 manner: aNew England resenfs the fiippancy with which the president piles up unconstitutional laws to be used as Exhibits A, B, and c in his case for constitutional amend ment. The reaction here is that Of hard working, thrifty, patriotic people against the things they think are unsound, beginning with the attack on the constitution and ending with the extravagances Of relief.
 sThis turn against Roosevelt in New England is not Q partisan turn. We are not merely turning republican. The old 6 republican party is as much a thing of the past in New England as the old democratic party is, let us say, m Ohio. What is going on is Q re- action against the policies and principles which are . part Of the New Deal, and the too fippaut way in which official Washington is thumbing it's nose at some of the things that New England thinks are fundamental.
 we are not for Hoover or Hoover policies-nor are we for Borah. Perhaps Col. Knox best expresses what New England has in mind when it thinks of . re- publican candidate If Roose- welt ran today he could not car- " single New England state. Forty miles away in Providence. Rhode Island, busy as a hive of hungry bees just turned out in a clover field, Horace Reviere, 8 fight ing vice president of the Textile Workers of America, pounded his fist in the palm of his left hand :: Its going to be walk-away. Ar we got to do is to refresh the mem ory fthe common people every where. Just remind them what they were facing when Roosevelt was elected. You can't beat that guy, no matter what happens"
 Maybe it's all bit bewildering. Certainly it is not easy to weigh accurately the hundreds O. reac- tions have recorded throughout Industrial America. But at least one stands out clearly: despite an unquestioned swing against Roose- welt I see but small chance at the moment of his defeat in 1886. | TOMORROW: HOW STEEL WORKERS FROM CHICAGO TO PTTTSBURG FEEL ABOUT THE NEW DEAL.

We're beginning to make money and it looks to me as if it's only fair to give Roosevelt second term. Why take a chance?-and I used to be republican, too"

Here are my conclusions:
 At the present moment Roosevelt is at his lowest ebb On the surface there is strong outside run ming against him. but underneath there is stiIl a powerful Roosevelt current that can easily sweep him to victory.
 Millions of people critical of the adrni1isra- tion but opposition has crystalized neither in a definite program leader. No single name in the republican directory evnces the slightest enthusiasm from the average anti-Rosevelt voter
 Feeling against Hoover is little less bitter but it takes most sensitive listening device to record it. Such names as Col Knox, Col Roosevelt Sena- tors B0rah and Vandenberg, and even Governor Landon utterly fail to spark the battery of the average citizen.
 Roosevelt resentment seems to center around lack of economy and an. increase in the cost of living coupled with a blind demand for change.

Hayes Vs. Have Nots,

The threat of high taxes at pres ent is driving many Little Hayes into an anti-R Roosevelt alliance with Big Hayes"
 The coming election might cas- fly become 8 straight arithmetic problem: Can the sum total of the Little Hayes and the Big Hayes equal the Have Nots plus the mid- west farmers? My own motor ambling observations force me to give it to the Have Nots and the farmers by three to two. Huey Longs death removes the greatest single menace to Roose- velt,s return. Yet, strangely enough, the constant pressure for more and mor eradical legislation that was forced by Huey built up a vast loyal legion of F. D. R. supporters among the lowly mil lions. A turn to the right by Roose- welt can do him incredible harm among these same millions.
 Father Coughlin can assure the election of Roosevelt. His defection would seriously embarrass the pres ident but probably not defeat him The radio priests strength is Jess than half what it was year ago
 Except for California the prom. ise that was Dr. Townsend ha. largely disappeared.
 The six million members of tn, A. F. of L. are at least 75 per cen for Roosevelt.
 The 500,000 members of thu United Mine Workers - and theil wives and sweethearts and fathers and mothers and sisters and aunts -are 90 per cent for F. D. R. Roosevelt's threat against the constitution makes poor republican campaign material.

Roosevelt Slips

ASVV0@NSAS AJAAR0
 Recovering some of the same ground I studied in my survey five months ago (Yhen I wrote without apology that my belief was that Roosevelt was in the bag and would carry from 36 to 40 states) find
 that in the middle west there is 8 considerable turning. of the white collared ''Little Hayes" from F. D. R. There is growing desire for change.
 A Chicago business man, who
 five months ago was less positive
 in his opinions, put it this way to me: "Over America there are mill
 lions of more or less independent middle-class citizens. They vot- ed for Wilson in 1916 and for Roosevelt in 19S2. This group is now turning from Roosevelt. They
 know they will have to pay the bills for his orgy of spending by higher and higher taxes. They are against the whole relief pro- gram. This feeling started almost
 a year ago but 1t has gained its real
 momentum during the past ninety
 days."
 Down in the rich corn belt of middle Illinois talked with a
 normally republican farmer whom
 had interviewed in early June. He
 was then a little skeptical about the AAA. He felt that the drouth
 had been the true. cause of in- creased prices. Now he said to me:
 Most farmers are slowly gettlng around to the belief that we must
 have some sort of crop control

New England Balks

The biggest defection from Roose- welt has been in the six New Eng land states. They feel F. D. R. has cut them of in favor of the south midwest and far west. They are likewise bitter against the cotton processing tax.
 Roosevelt has excellent chances of carrying Pennsylvania which he lost to Hoover in 1892. The Keystone states 38 electoral votes more than balance the total 37 votes of the six New England states Ohio, Michigan and Indiana are decidedly in the doubtful list = Ohio the least of the three. The Legion's bonus bitterness may be smoothed over by some com promise during the coming session of congress.
 There is considerable wide spread feeling against Politician Jim Far ley.
 The split among the democrats fails to interest the rank and file
 It would be easy to give too much weight to the surface criticism against Roosevelt. If the republicans could by magic produce a strong, picturesque leader who by sheer personality would satisfy the hun dred and one divergent interests and classes and emotions of this vast land they might seriously challenge the rule of Roosevelt. But there is no such figure in sight, and consequently no such threat.
