of the Long machine, so far as na- tional politics is concerned. Olson and Third Party
 Since the death of Huey Long, who undoubtedly was thinking more of l94O than 1a26 increasing talk is heard about Governor Olson of Min nesota as the possible leader of an .rdependent third-party ticket four years hence. Olson's Farmer-Labor party made it's state campaign in 1884 cn platform sufficiently left wingish ; please some of the most radical.
 Gen. Hugh s. Johnson is reported til flirting with a senatorial candi- dacy in Oklahoma. His intimates say he'sftoe poor financially to make a campaign, but may go in regardless. If he does, the Democratic primary contest should develop lot of verbal straight t-arming, with Senator Gore and Alfalfa Bill' Murray as the oth- CT two candidates.
 Echo answers every reiteration of the question when Democratic Chair man Farley will resign as postmaster general to devote all his time to the Roosevelt reelection campaign. The long expected event seems to have been postponed indefinitely although Farley's friends still believe his days in the cabinet are numbered.
