KEEPS EYE ON
VOTERS

President Roosevelt is taking an
active interest in politics. He is
keeping "hands off," but anyone
with half an eye around the White
House can see that he is getting
grass-root reports from some of
the States where a dash of wis.
dom will do the most good for a
Democratic candidate.
He has been seeing people OF
Importance in politics. Mayor Ed
Kelly, of Chicago. has been in the
White House twice within the past
few days-and Chicago itself is
a big factor in the coming presi-
Dental campaign.
Mayor Kelly received a Demo
cratic majority when elected last
time, which was counted as the
largest majority ever given any
city candidate at any time in
American history.
That majority, If it can be held
for Roosevelt, will be more than
enough to offset a normal down.
state Republican majority, so po-
htical observers say.
Machine Working Well
The Chicago Democratic ma
chine appears to be working well.
and this has been duly reported
to the President through the
proper channels.
oscar Chapman, Assistant Sec
retary of the Interior Department,
who has received a leave of alb
sence without pay, and will go
West, intends to devote his time
to some intensive campaigning
and fence building.
AS far as Colorado is concerned,
1t is understood he is going to
pull a strong oar for Roosevelt
and for Senator CoStigan who
will have opposition in the Colo
RADIO primary in September.
Mr.. Chapman intended to re-
sign, but it is understood that the
President induced him to take a
leave of absence instead.
Bitter Fight Possible
There may be a hot fight in
Colorado. Gov. Edwin c. John
son is expected to contest with
Senator Costigan in the primary.
Senator Costigan has been
strong Roosevelt supporter; but
President Roosevelt probably will
not interfere in an inside party
fight there. 1t is reported he has
smoothed down the Governor in
several matters which had ruffled
him.
However, there are possibilities
of bitter party fight out there
in the Mountain State, and if the
White TIouse keeps out of it it will
not be because both sides did not
try to drag Administration influ
ence into Colorado.

tile experts have been brought
into consultation to prove that
no pair of socks of American
make could last beyond the Col

perately working at a national
plan to offset the terrific impact
of the Garner propaganda.

GARNER'S SOCK
TALE EXCITES

There is considerable fear
among the insiders of the Admin

ner's baldfaced admission that he
wore only one pair of socks on
his trip half way round the world
will lead to political-and possibly
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
It is probably the only time
that Cactus Jack" has ever got

as he is generally understood to

excited over the Importance OF
taking a Panama hat to the Presl.
dent that he made the misStep
which may lead to several dozen
undoingS.
Recall 'SOckleSS Jerry
In the first place, conservatives
are inclined to believe that Vice
President Garner's recital of the
one-pair.of-socks regime is notice
that he is going way over to the
left; to join with the Tugwell or
Townsend element in public life.
They base this on the fact that
not since the days of Representa-
tive jeremiah Simpson, VIII o
sraced the halls of Congress as
q Populist from Kansas in 1891
1895, has there been any such
lack of hosiery on a well-known
statesman.
Representative Simpson, C a m
paigning in the wheat fields, was
literally standing on a stump
making a speech when an ad-
mirer hoisted UP one leg of Simp-
sons trousers and exposed Sev.
eral inches of bare and sockleSs
Shin-the episode which gave
deathless fame to Sockless Jerry
=. the name by which Simpson
Is recalled.
The absence of socks in tn e
gay nineties was then looked on
as dangerous as a. Red Flag to-
day; and furthermore Vice Pres
ident Garner gets close to the
edge when he defies the tradi-
tion of all Democrats from his
part of the country, where they
are said to be equipped with
hosiery made of the sort Of goat
fur on which Mr.. Garner, as a
Representative, always managed
to keep a stiff tar1ff-even in the
face of the free trade yelpings Of
his colleagues.
BIuffing Suspected
Other complications facing the
Administration over this one-pair
policy is the whisper that Vice
President Garner is bluffing when
he says he wore one pair of socks
around the world and that Mrs.
Garner darned them twice. Tex

NEW ACTS NEAR
HIGHEST COURT
SHOWDOWN
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
international News Service

The Supreme Court battle over
constitutionality of vital Roose.
welt administration laws moved
toward a showdown today.
The nine justices of the court
met behind closed doors in con-
ference today at which validity Of
the farm and power programs Of
the Administration may be de-
bated.
Suspending arguments until
January 6, the court planned to
devote its whole time to preparing
decisions in important cases be-
fore it.
Jan. 6, "Fateful Day"
While the court will meet for a
decision day on Monday, the ses-
sion of January 6 loomed as one
which may either rock or fortify
the Administration.
Not only will the courts opir.
ions affect the Administrations
acts, but they may either prolong
or shorten the session of Congress
which begins January 3.
After closing argument in the
TVA case yesterday, the court had
under adviSement:
Constitutionality of original
processing taxes, raised in the
HooSic Mills case; Validity of the
amended AAA, including the re-
fund provisions enacted by Con.
gresS; constitutionality of the
Bankhead cotton law, and validity
Of the Tennessee Valley Authority.
so Suits Pending
Many court observers predicted
the Bankhead law would be held
invalid, and iva would be up
held: opinion was about evenly
divided on the courts ruling on
AAA.
A strong possibility existed that
the court might restrict its rulings
in the Bankhead and amended
AAA case to jurisdictional ques.
tions, and limit its decision on .
IVA to Wilson Dam at Muscle
Shoals.
Meanwhile. the Government
moved for an early decision on
validity of the Guffey coal act.
Pointing out that more than 81
injunction suits are pending, Soil
citor-General Reed asked the
court to decide constitutionality
of the law in the Carter Coal case.

COTTON ERASES
MOST OF GAIN

NEW YORK, Oct. 4 G.N.SO.
After climbing about go cents a
bale in early dealings the cotton
market settled back on renewed
profit taking, to steady at about
IS cents bale advance. The re-
newed rise reflected the better
technical situation of the market
following yesterdays shakeout and
further heavy buying by the trade
and foreign connections. The
latter as consequence of the war
situation. Strength in the Liver
pool market was also a factor in
early price improvement. An in
crease in hedging as well as real
ization checked the rise.
In addition to the trade, Liver
pool, the Far East, Bombay and
the continent were buying. Locals
were apparently on both sides of
the market. The south sold as
did New Orleans, commission
houses, and wire houses. Much of
the hedging was absorbed by
domestic price fixing. The mar
ket was moderately active.
