Buzzing as Various
Holes Being Chinked

WASHINGTON, July %. = The
departure of Postmaster General
Farley on leave to conduct the
campaign was only the beginning
of migration of New Deal officials
from Government jobs to key posi-
lions in the headquarters set up.
The full list is not known at
present, and probably will not be
known until campaign when
an actual counting of noses may
disclose it. But they have been
drifting from Washington to New
York in ones, twos and threes for
some time.
A goodly number of them knew
long in advance just what holes
they would fill. They were part
of the headquarters organization
set up by the late Louis McHenry
Howe, long time No. l secretary
and counsellor to President Roose-
welt.
Howe left his place beside Roose-
welt in Albany early in 1882 to act
as the nominees voice at Demo-
cratic headquarters in New York.

Spotlight Plays on State
Campaigns as Parties Seek
to Bolster Up Their Ranks
By BYRON PRICE
(Chief OF Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington

Special measures to buttress the
Democratic ticket in New York and
Michigan serve as a reminder that
state as we'll as national politics
is having field day 1896.
Thirty-six of the 48 states choose
Governors. Elections to State Leg
islatures and to local office are
legion. One-third of the states
will vote for United States Senator,
and a Representative in Congress
is to be elected in every Congress
sional district.
While, for understandable rea-
sons, popular interest focuses
chiefly on the Presidential cam
paign, there are reasons why the
politicians are deeply interested
also in all classes of local polit-
cal battles.
Because the National House of
Representatives is the point of Or
igin of money bills = measures
dealing with taxation and spending
it is a matter Of more than or
binary interest just now whether
the nominee who is elected Presi-
dent shall have a House of his
own political faith.
An extraordinary situation also
exists from the Democratic view
point, in the purely state elections.
Many of the Roosevelt policies de-
pend on a measure of state CO.
operation. Naturally the Demo-
cratic National Administration is
interested in having as many Dem
ocratic State administrations as
possible.
STRENGTHENING THE PARTY
No one doubts, of course, that the
Presidential campaign was the
thing foremost in the minds OF
the Roosevelt managers, when they
persuaded Governor Lehman to
run again in New York, and Frank
Murphy to become candidate
for Governor in Michigan.
There was no secret that the
fContinifed IN papa FiVal

financial condition will not mako them eligible for relief.
 Mrs. Margaret Verdon, head of tho local department of welfare, is oul of town at the present and no def. mite information as to the exact procedure here in the city could be obtained this morning.
 Action Suggested
 If the city of Waterbury, however, follows in general the plans which have been suggested by WPA and Emergency Relief Commission of- ficials, and is likely that t will, there will be, besides the benefits resulting from weeding out of Ali persons no longer qualified Tor re- lief, several disadvantages.
 There is the possibility of Q whole- sale influx of persons desirious ok obtaining jobs descending on the welfare department. Another prob- lem will be that of securing investi- ggtors to aid in the reclassificatioil work. Tn the main, however, 1t is expected that the advantages of bringing about an ultimate saving for the city, if large number Of persons on direct relief can be put to work on the WPA, will outweigh the disadvantages.
 Survey t0 Start J
 No announcement was made as to the time when re-irIvestigation of the relief status of all WPA employ. es would start.
 With the exception of . few prc- jectS, which will not start In again until Monday, ali WPA workers win return to work tomorrow morning, the start of Q new 60 hour work period. The traffic survey, according to the last report released ct the office of Congressman J. Joseph Smith early this week, is also stip- posed to be reopened tomorrow, afe ter four week period of inactivity.
