The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-10-26

more master minds guiding the campaign than you could shake a stick at--Louey Howe, Jim Far ley, Professor Moley, Rex Tugweli, Charles Nicholson, and so on- far into the night.
 This year there is only one generalissimo. HIS NAME IS FARLEY,
 Jim was titular commander in 1882, but actually he was only one of a large-sized general staff. This year he is boss in actuality as well as in name. There are nurnr erous minor caliphs, but Jim is chief potentate.
 He never makes Q move until he has discussed 1t with Rooses velt-this always has been fixed rule with Jim-but the Roosevelt OIxay is the only one he now bOfhers with. Four years ago he had to deal with Tom, Dick and Harry.
 This standardization of command is making 8 lot of difference in the efficiency of the democratic machine. There is much less of the confusion and tension so ap- parent in 1882.
 Of course, other factors also are partly responsible for this. In 1882 the democrats were the challengers: their combat ma chine and chief manipulatorS were new at the game of running a national campaign. This year they are the INS with all the accompanying prestige and power. COP Vs. DING
 There is lot of difference be- tween COP and democratic headquarters.
 The republican CHG in Chi cago occupies three and half floors in 8, Michigan avenue office building. The democratic command is on two floors of the Biltmore hotel, opposite the Grand Central station, New York. The democrats had the 7 same quarters in 1882. Hoover's, campaign that year was run from Washington with branch offices in New York and Chi cago. The republicans have branch office in New York this year. The democrats have no branch headquarters.
 Because of the hotel surround ings, carpet-covered corridors and pictures on the walls, democratic headquarters have an atmosphere of ornate luxury. The rival camp in Chicago is plain, though not threadbare.
 Farley's personal offices consist of suite of rooms he has used as national chairman ever since his elevation to that job four years ago. There is no gaudy fur niture. One room, locked off from the rest, is Jim's "hide-aHay." Here he holds secret conferences or dodges the horde of politicos always clamoring to see him. Foreign Appeal
 Outstanding at the Biltmore headquarters is the number of foreign language and racial des- ignations.
 Two whole corridors are lined with signs bearing these leg ends: Russian American sec- tion, Scandinavian American section, Hungarian American, secti0n,, Italian American sec ton, German American sec tion. There is even a Chinese American section.
 All are headed by prominent men and women of each particu- lar national group, each puts out literature in it's own language. CThe Chinese pamphlet is a mu- scum piece) Each has its shock troop of campaigners. The entire division is headed by Lawrence ("Chip'') Robert, former assis- tant tant secretary of the trea- sury, now secretary of the democratic national committee.
 Active director in charge of the foreign group is Ralph Steinberg, radio transcription expert and man who has contributed ma terially to Roosevelt's ra dio technique.
 Also scattered about the Bilt-
 more are divisions for labor,
 negroes, veterans, first voters, , Absentee Voters, etc.
 The staff of the Democratic command is 580; the Republicans, TIC.
 One-Speech Garner
 One man you don't see around Democratic headquarters is Vice. President Garner.
 When Governor Landon sprang his surprise announcement of a campaign foray into California, some of the Democratic strateg- ists thought a big shot of the party ought to be rushed out on his trail. Checking over the list of who might be desirable for this job, they hit on Jack Garner.
 A long distance call was put in for him at his home in Uvalde, Texas, and Garner was asked to go. His reaction was prompt and emphatic. Said he:
 Say, I've made he one cam
 paign speech I promised and I am. making no more. You don't
 need to send anyone out to
 California. The state is safe and
