POLITICAL GOSSIP

The latest purely political gossip
fearing on this years Presidential
campaign is the suggestion that the
conservative Democrats may put a
third-party ticket into the field for
the purpose of slicing off a lot of
President Roosevelt's support
among the rock-ribed artisans of
his own party who nevertheless
don't like the New Deal. If they
could induce AL Smith to head up
such a ticket, some of the smart
ones here think, the scheme might
work. Mr.. Smith is to speak in
Washington on January rs under
the auspices Of the American Liber-
ty League. He is expected to ex-
press himself very vigorously, but
whether anything will come of the
idea of having him head a third
ticket is rather doubtful.
Third-party talk at the opposite
extreme is also heard in many cir
cles. The Townsend threat Of a
radical third-party movement with
old age pensions for everybody as
its main plank is beginning to be
taken more seriously. 1t is far too
early to be definite about its pros
poets of getting anywhere.
1t is hardly necessary to add that
the Republican leaders are watching
with great interest, if lot actually
encouraging, both of these potential
third-party movements. And
numerous leading Republicans were
observed to be giving three rousing
cheers when the news Of the Su-
preme Court decisions came down.
Again, however, it is too early to
estimate what effect that may have
on MI. Roosevelt's chances for
reelection.

two million.
In one sense, of course, all the
persons on relief are unemployed.
But it does not follow that all of
them were employed before they
went on relief. In the best of
times there have always been five or
six million persons without jobs,
either because they preferred not to
work or were unable, for various
reasons to attach themselves to pay
rolls. A large proportion of these
have always been recipients of char
liable relief, and it is impossible to
imagine a situation in which there
will not be a very large number of
people who will depend for subsis-
tence upon the generosity of public
or private relief organizations.
In the meantime, however, more
people are going back to work every
day and the outlook is hopeful for
a job within a year or SO for every
body who is willing and able to
work.

POLITICAL EDUCATION

A careful statistician has figured
out that it would cost eighty mil
lion dollars to conduct a nation
wide campaign of political educa-
ton that would reach every voter
in the United States. Nothing like
that amount is likely to be spent
this year, but the indications are
that both major parties will spend
more money than ever before, be-
tween now and November g.
The largest amount of money
ever spent in a political campaign
in America was in 1928. The
Democrats spent a shade over seven
million dollars that year and the
Republicans about nine and a half
millions. This included both the
national and state campaigns and
those conducted by independent
groups.
There were 36,772,695 votes cast
in that year, so the average amount
spent on each voters political edu-
cation was something under so
cents. That was not, of course,
taking into account the thousands
of meetings, debating groups, and
gatherings which were addressed ty
volunteer, unpaid speakers on be-
half or n party or another.
The United States spends about
three thousand million dollars a
year on its educational system. If
one-hundredth of that amount were
spent on political education it
would cost but 80 million dollars a
year.
Someone has put forward the
brilliant suggestion that the cost of
political campaigns ought to be
borne by Government appropria-
lions, state and Federal, apportioned
among the parties in proportion to
the number of their voters of the
last previous election. In some re-
spects that might be an improve
ment over the present system of
raising funds by private contribu-
lions. That will not happen this
year, but it is apparent hat the
voters of the nation are going to b
exposed to a more intensive cam
paign of education than ever before
