constant annoyance 10 Farley because
of the enmities he st!rs up among
Democratic leaders and party friends.
Roosevelt Is bordering over him.
Harry Hopkins is closer to Roose-
welt than he has ever been. Both are
spenders and both speak the same
language. For the job he is the best
man in the United States. Homer S.
Cummings, Attorney General, has lost
his rating, and Roosevelt runs both
the Navy and the Army absolutely.
The one woman on the list Is
Countess Court Haugwitz- Reventlow,
the former Barbara Hutton Mdivani,
the American l0-cent store heireSs,
whose distribution OF wealth in Eu-
rope has stimulated public sentiment
in favor Of greatly increased inner
itance taxes.
she has had in the news columns Of
wealthy publishers has had more eff
feet on the American voters than can
be Offset by editorials in the same
newspapers against higher income
and higher death taxes. Roosevelt
senses this and it will be a campaign
issue.
Elderly People Organized.
One Of the largest minorities in the
United States Is represented by those
who favor the Townsend plan or some
compromise offering more than SIS
a month. The elderly people are or
gained in every city and hamlet
west of the Mississippi, to say nothing
Of the advocates in the East, and they
have but one objective, and this is
living pension. TownSend's huke in
Washington has not routed them.
There are millions who will vote for
the party that promises them the
most.
The complete list of so persons
does not include bankers or indus
trialists or big business men. The
lineup is almost wholly political. with
an array Of publishers who are max
ing the fight of their lives to main
tain the power of the press.
There are some in the list of so
whose influence will have the effect of
hberalizing the party platform or in
further frightening the reactionaries
into concessions. There are those
who are SOLDERING others who at heart
are Conservatives, and then there are
also those who are fighting frantically
for the public moneys, which they
know cannot hold out indefinitely, or
for special advantages for organized
groups.
