CIRCLE SWING
:: PR0P0SEDBY
ROOSEVELT
BY EARL GOODWIN

While the Republican party is
choosing a candidate to run
against President Roosevelt for
reelection, and formulating a
platform on which that candi.
date shall run, it seems likely
that President Roosevelt himself
will be taking a fairly good-Sized
swing around the circle, hitting
the Solid South and ending up in
the Middle West.
The Presidents travel plans
hinge somewhat on Congress, but
he has been informed that Con-
gress probably will adjourn in
the first week of June. If so, the
President will board special
train for Arkansas, make one or
two speeches there, then head for
Dallas, Tex, and wind up in Vim
cenneS, Ind.
Return by June Is
If Congress does not adjourn
soon enough, he will not make
this trip until later in the year,
for he has said he must be back
in washington on June Is, al
though he has not specified the
reason why.
Should he be travelling and
speaking on June 9, and the few
days thereafter, he will be COM
peting for public attention, in a
sense, with the whirlwind Of
news from Cleveland where the
G. o. P. orators will be pouring
the heat" on the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. 1t does not seem
likely that a trained campaigner
like President Roosevelt will try
to make any major political
speeches at such time.
The occasions for his visits to
Arkansas, Texas and Indiana are
all local historical events. Ar
kansas is celebrating the centen-
NAL of its admission into the
Union; Texas is celebrating its
one hundredth anniversary of
freedom from Mexico; and at
VincenneS, Ind, there is sched-
uled the dedication Of a memo
rial to George Rogers Clarke, a
midwest revolutionary hero,
known as "the George Washing
ton Of the West"
All of these speaking dates
have been on the Presidents pad
for several months, always being
changed with reference to the
adjournment of Congress.
May Divide Attention
President Roosevelt may divide
public attention with the Republi-
can national convention by these
speeches, but there seems to be no
organized effort to make them fall
on any particular dates with ref
erence to the Republicans gath
ering.
In fact, Mr.. Roosevelt's cam
paign speeches are yet to be writ
ten. It is a fact that he has soft
pedaled political effort for long
time past. Neither he nor his
aides in Congress have unleaShed
the fiery oratory that may be ex-
pected later in the year.
This is true to such an extent
that, from a news standpoint, the
White House has been fairly dull
for several weeks past. The PreSi-
dent has consistently refrained
from making statements that could
be construed as prophetic of fu-
ture policies; he has shown only
the mildest of reaction to the Su-
preme Courts action on AAA and
on the Guffey bill.
There seems to be general opin-
ion that he will have new pro-
gram to offer the country. It is
believed that it will include ma
tion-wide housing plan, strong
Federal control Of agriculture,
improvements in the social secu-
rity act, and an attempt to solve
the unemployment problem by a
planned job program.
