DIES ON OHIO VISIT
Former President of Tuscu-

the followers of Father Coughlin and
the miscellaneous radicals who will go
to the Lemke- Coughlin third party.
Substantially all these will be a
subtraction from Mr.. Roosevelt. Just
how many there will be is question
which will be largely answered by
Mr.. Roosevelt's strategy in the cam
paign. That he will try to hold as
many Of the radicals as he can goes
without saying.
Left Wing Wide.
The left wing as whole covers a
broad gamut of degrees Of radicalism.
Those at the extreme left will follow
the Lemke- -Coughlin party infallibly.
They are set. In the middle of the
gamut is a fluid group, indeterminate

welt can hold by being sufficiently
radical in the campaign. This he will
do. In the campaign, he must forget
the conservatives, for they are gone;
he must hold as many of the radicals
as he can keep by means of more and

more radical promises and intimations.
With his right wing gone and much
Of his left wing. consider What COM
poses his remaining body Of supporters.
First, the oficeholders. They are
formidable army, and their power is
not limited to their numbers, for the
officeholders are the workers who get
voters to the polls. And Mr.. Roose-
velt has far the largest number OF
officeholders that any party ever had.
At the Democratic convention l was
told that some one who had made a
careful investigation found that "a
per cent of the delegates were office
holders.
The Federal officeholders have been
enormously increased by the new agen-
cies of Government, set UP by the
New Deal One whole new army OF
officeholders consists of those in
charge of relief. But 1t Is not merely
the Federal oficeholders. In addi-
ton to these, the number OF Demo-
cratic offceholders in States, cities,
counties and smaller units of Gov
10 bll0h CitliCt paw
ever had before. The Democrats won
so many local elections in 1882 and
1884 that perhaps four-fifths Of all
local oficeholders everywhere are
Democrats.
All these, Federal officeholders and
local ones, will be hard at work to
re-elect Mr.. Roosevelt. To this state
ment there Is one possible exception
that may arise. Local oficeholders in
cities and counties are concerned with
holding their own local jobs. They
are not directly interested in Wash
ington or In Mr.. Roosevelt, except as
Mr.. Roosevelt Is a good vote-getting
symbol. If during the campaign. In
any given community, it becomes
doubtful whether Mr.. Roosevelt Is
strong, the local Democratic Office
holders will cease to work for him
and devote themselves to local sue
cess. Such conditions arise in many
campaigns, and it is not infrequent
for local officeholders to LAY down
on" the presidential candidate, or
even trade him out.
Representative Shorts Advice.
Mr.. Roosevelt's body Of support in
cludes also the beneficiaries Of the
billions and billions of relief money.
It is commonly assumed that these
will vote for Mr.. Roosevelt. Yet Is
that sure? There is Missouri Re-
publican Representative who has hope.
Representative Dewey Short has a
republican campaign speech which he
makes to beneficiaries of relief: Take
the money" he tells them. TITS pub
lie money; it's meant for you: take
as much as you can get Of 1t from
the Democrats. But when you go
to vote In November, show 'em you
can't be bribed."
The advice may appeal to many.
To a great extent. the beneficiaries
of relief may at the polls this year
divide in whatever proportions they
would divide normally.
In practically all discussions. the
relief vote as a Democrat asset is
seriously exaggerated. To estimate the
number on relief and say this figure
is an addition to Mr.. Roosevelt's
strength, is misleading. Many of
those on relief were already Demo-
Gratis; in all elections they overlap
upon that body Of voters in great
cities who are herded to the polls by
the machines.

influence of liquor, brought against
Thomas L. Dawson, Maryland Secre-
tary of State. after a triple collision
on the Rockville Pike, April 26, was
dismissed by Judge Harold c. Smith
in Police Court here today.
Dawson was found guilty, however,
of reckless driving and was fined S..
His attorneys requested that the fine
be raised to $l1 to permit an appeal
to the Circuit Court and their plea
was granted and the appeal to the
higher tribunal was filed Immediately.
Virginian Swore Warrant.
The warrant for driving while un-
der the influence of liquor was sworn
out by c. J. Gentzler of 4505 Key
Boulevard, Clarendon, Va, who told
the court that while he could not de-
tect any odor of alcohol on Dawson's
breath after the crash, the latter's
speech and appearance led him to be-
lieve the secretary of State was in
toxicated.
1t was for this reason, he testified,
that he swore out the warrant for
Dawson's arrest after Dawsons ma
chine had careened across the road,
side swiped another car and then hit
his automobile.
Returning From Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Maggie Diehl, Gentzler's sister,
said she and her brother were return
ing from Pennsylvania at the time of
the mishap. She declared the aeci-
dent took place so quickly that she
was unable to declare just how it
happened.
Testifying in his own defense, Daw-
son declared the return of an ankle
injury was responsible for his losing
control of his machine and piling into
the two cars that were proceeding to-
ward Washington. The secretary of
State, who is local attorney, was
driving toward his home at the time.

On board the ship, she meets
handsome Dirk Strom, expert ski

Jane is flattered by the attentions
