The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-09

4WuAAN0HC CkSCOCA AAAAAAoGA oAAu Mrs. Susan T. Moore, one of his followers, to the national commit- tee.
 Under party rules only the 11a- tional committee itself has the power to elect or remove members of the body. Ordinarily, however, when a state committee desig- mates a successor to Q deceased member, the national committee approves his credentials as 8 routine matter.
 But with Talmadge and Mrs. Moore, the situation is different. The red-gallused flre-eater of Georgia is one of Rooseyelt's bite terest foes. Among organization democrats he is anathenla.
 Ever since TaImadge set him. self up as national committee man, certain adrninistratlOnites have been devising schemes to crack down on him.
 Their most favored plan is this: When Talmadge presents his credentials, they would be re- ferred to 8 credentials committee which would promptly bury them on the excuse of giving careful consideration" By this strategy TaImadge would be legally" barred from admittance to the present meeting.
 Doubtful
 While eager to strafe Talmadge, some of the democratic inoguls on whom the proposed plan has been strongly pressed are doubt full of it's wisdom. They say the spanking would be too obvious, would enable Gene to raise the cry of persecution"
 What the party chiefs want to avoid above all is the note of dis harmony. As much as they hate Talmadge, they prefer to seat him and Mrs. More now, wait for a more opportu1e occasion to "give him the works"
 Election Bet
 President Roosevelt and Senator Bill Borah have entered into g solemn agreement to take each other for Q ride.
 It happened this way: Borah, sat one seat from the president at @ recent White House dinner. Roosevelt leaned over and joshed the senator about his campaign. ''T1I tell you what HI do, sem ator," said Roosevelt. "Tf you are elected president you take me for a ride on the Potomac (the new presidential yacht). If I am reelected I promise to take you on a ride" 'Tts Q deal, Mir. President" said BOrah, "only don't forget YOUR part of the bargain" No Walk Out
 Senator Bill Borah's fiourishing presidential boom is headed for stormy weather. Far from being dismayed by the seeming tidal wave of rank-and-f1le enthusiasm for Borah, stand pat republican leaders are planning to give him e determined battle in every i'm portant primary.
 At Q secret conference held in New York last week, a complete list was drawn up of "favorite son" candidates who could be put into the field with a fair chance against Borah.
 Tn other words, if Borah can't be licked outright, the aim will be to split the delegation, taking as many from him as can be won. by this strategy the anti -Borah- ites, in addition to holding down his popular support, would be in a position to "bore from within" his delegations during the con- vention.
 The Lineup
 Tn past conventions this boring has frequently been successful. Delegates come to Q convention pledged to a certain candidate and wind up voting for someone else. M
 Under the projected plan. Borah would be opposed in New York state by Representative James Wadsworth, in New Jer- scy by Governor Hoffman, In Maryland by Governor Nice. and In Pennsylvania by OK. Senator David Reed.
 Wadsworth, incidentally, is be- ing privately favored by those asound Governor Ali Landon. Coming from New York, . con- servative, a militant wet in con- trast to the dry Kansan, they view Wadsworth as a perfect vice presidential running-mate on Q Landon ticket.
 It is even reported that feelers have been put out to Wadsworth and that lie has indicated ap- proval.
 Much Nicer
 Senator Garter Glass and his one-time Virginia colleague, Claude Swanson, now secretary of the navy, were reminiscing about campaign experiences.
