FORECAST FOR
PRESIDENCY
Chiefs of Both Parties
Plan 'SIambang'
Campaign
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
International News Service

Democratic and Republican
chieftains here today revealed they
have completed the groundwork
for a slam-bang presidential cam
paign designed to bring out the
biggest vote in history next No
vember.
For the moment intense activity
at headquarters of the two parties
was below the surface, but soon
it will emerge to the surface. The
machinery was ready, idling. Soon
it will slip into high gear, and the
presidential race will be off at !
furious pace.
Republicans were today still
scanning the Democrats platform
and examining the acceptance
speech of President Roosevelt.
Plan Speaking Drive
In the Democratic camp activ-
ity conferred on plans for the
speaking drive.
At the same time Republicans
formally announced the opening
of a movement designed to enlist
thousands of Republican women
in a drive for election of Governor
Alfred M. Landon, of Kansas. Mrs.
William D. Hoyal, assistant chair,
man Of the Republican National
Committee, headed this activity.
Apparently, the Democrats will
apply heaviest pressure in the Cen
trail Valley States of the Middle
West.
Approximately 5000 volunteers
were on the roll of the Democratic
National Committee speaking bu
reau. The bureaus acting head
Paul Aiken, said the party would
use as many as are necessary to
cover the country from coast to
coast.
Farley Plans Speeches

National Chairman and PoStmaS

the speaking burden for the Cabi
net. Farley will operate on
national basis. He intends, ten
tatively, to spend considerable

country.
Secretary Of the Interior Har
old L. Ickes also will be an active
factor in the speaking drive. he
tentatively agreed to go into
Texas, which the Democrats con

Roosevelt, but where they intend
to send speakers any way.

they listened to their sons en-
thuSiaStic speech. They had raised
their boy to be a Communist, and
he was making good.
Three years later the same Mar

'"The old man Is disguised
with socialism. and as you know,
my mother has been for q long
time, and 80: We viii be back

At the close of the meeting on
the Harding collection was taken
up for political prisoners in Amer

to suggest that the Communists

There was among the pilgrims
a certain comrade "RuSsen" from
Flint, Mich. He had been black
listed in American factories for his
radical activities. When he and
his fellow-travelers came within
sight of Leningrad, he could re-
strain himself no longer.

from the boat to the Russians

response from the bedraggled
crowd. But comrade ".RuSSen"

Shocking Revelation
A few weeks later, after seeing
the plight of the Russian workers,
his enthusiasm turned into diSmay.
All he tried to do was to get out
of Soviet Russia as quickly as
possible.
How excited this man, who Is
now back in America, was together

ticipation of sharing with the
Russian workers the reputed own

They were Jealous readers Of
