Of 1924 will expand his scope and upon

full-hedged major Lacquer this season
the Nationals will be in position to
place on the field six regulars Of bet
ter-than-average speed.
Four of them-Hill, Miles, Buddy
Myer and Jake Powell-will be excep-
tional in their ability to pick 'em up
and put 'em down. Hill and Miles
rank high among such base ball speed
sters as Ben Chapman, Wally Moses
and Red Rolfe. In Buddy Lewis and
Joe Kuhel the Griffmen have base
runners Of much better than so-so
speed. Cecil Travis Is average as a
runner, leaving only Cliff Bolton and
the pitcher as minor threats on the
sacks.
OF course. regardless Of the fondest
hopes for Miles, there are a couple
good ball players to contend with. It

MILES has two fielding weaknesses.
AVA He Is not adept at going to his

drives. and he Is not much on ground
balls. At bat he Is inclined to swing
too rashly at doubtful pitches and his
bunting Is not what 1t could be.
But the youngsters earnestness,
coupled with McNeely's coaching and
the hopes Of Harris AMI 0riff, promise
to overcome these fiawt. Miles prac-

plan to get around the Constitu-
ton in one way or another, es-
tablish what amounts to die
tatorship of the Federal bureau
cracy. Taxes will be another
the Republicans will say initiation
impends, and that the country
goes toward bankruptcy. Relief
will be another-the Republicans
will claim that Administration re-
lief plans have been wasteeul and
socially and economically menac-
ing, that more distress could have
been alleviated with less spending.
that the spoils system prevails.
Public policy toward industry will
be another-the Republicans will
claim that Administration tax and
regulatory policies have barred
the way OF greater industrial re-
covery. And so It will go. The
accent laid on these various points
will vary with the candidate. If.
for instance, Senator Borah were
nominated, he would probably lay
greatest stress on the Constitu-
ton, while Governor Landon
would be expected to talk most
about taxation and fiscal policies.
But all the planks will be used.
The Democratic campaign must,
of course, be based on the Presi-
dents record. 1t will be held that
he was responsible for the re-
covery we have aehieved-that his
mistakes were inevitable in an
emergency where speed was es-
sential, that he has no idea OF
tampering with the Constitution
or the Supreme Court, that his
program, by and large, has sue
ceeded and earned him the right
to go back and finish the job.
1t is widely believed that the
President will stress economy in
the campaign-declare that his
vast expenditures were unavoid-
able and saved US from ruin, that
wherever possible he cut expense.
In line with this, he recently ap-
pointed a committee of three ex-
perts in public administration to
survey the government and pre-
pare a plan for reorganization and
consolidation of bureaus in the
interest of economy and eff
cheney. In his letter to the men,
-bers he intimated that some of the
new agencies he created were
justified by emergency, will be
dropped with recovery. that others
will be curtailed in their opera
tons.
So the political war is getting
underway, even though, theo-
retically. the opening gun viii

ventions. Get your radio in shane

MOTORISTS OF FLORIDA, AL
so VISITORS FROM OTHER
SECTIONS, TO BE GUIDED
BY PROGRAM OUTLINED

TALLAHASSEE, April s.
Motorists o. Florida, as well as
motoring visitors from other
states soon will be able to travel
the state with the guidance of
road maps prepared by the state
road department, Chairman c. b.
Treadway of the department said.
The state highway body is now
preparing its own road maps,
which will be copyrighted.
In the past, the department has
not owned the patent of its Off
cial map, which has been reissued
periodically. The procedure has
been to call for bids from print
ing firms asked to furnish the
maps.
The new maps will show all
roads, streams. towns and cities,
as well as points OF interest. The
entire border of the new map will
be sketched by an artist. with ar
tistic and realistic effect. The
beauty of Florida's beaches, bird
and animal life, fishing, golfing
hunting, boating and many other
sports and recreational advantages
will be shown.
"The map will picture Florida
for what it is and show what is
happening, and where" Chairman
Treadway said. Its completion
will supply not only an accurate
guide to Florida's miles of high
way. but will give as well a beau
tiful picture of the state, its
growth and development, and its
many attractions and advan
tages."

1t might also be said that moth

But there is great activity beneath
the surface, and the political pic
ture for 1886 is gradually taking
form.
Main political interest naturally
focuses on the Republican
party-everyone knows that, bar
ring the grim reaper or a grade A
miracle, the Democratic candi-
dates for the highest elective
positions in the country will be
Franklin Delano Roosevelt of
New York, and John Nance Gar
ner of Texas. And, within the
Republican party, the battle lines
are firmly fixed. One strong
wing of the party. led by Herbert
Hoover, wants a highly conserva.
tive candidate, such as, for ex-
ample, Colonel Knox, publisher Of
the Chicago News. Another strong
wing, led by Senator Borah, and
generally believed to have the sup
port of such potent figures as
Senate Minority Leader McNary
of Oregon, wants a liberal candi-
date. Still another strong wing
wants a middle-of-the-road candi-
date, such as Governor Landon of
Kansas. At this writing, the best
bet for the nomination would be
Governor Landon, and most pub
lie polls show that he is more
popular with the people than other
leading Republicans. But it must
not be forgotten that prominent
commentators seem to believe
that neither Senator Borah nor
Ex-President Hoover are in favor
Of Landon-and those two men,
standing poles apart in their view
points, having little in common
save sincerity, can sway a great
number of delegates at the con-
vention. Such commentators are
tending toward the belief that
the big figures in the party may
offset each other with their op.
posed strength-may indirectly
bring about the nomination of a
dark horse.
That remains to be seen. But
