N IS YERY cONFUsINa

The newspapers carried dispatches
a few days ago saying that Postmas-
ter-General Farley, chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee, had
requested number Of p0stmasteFs
In Missouri to head committees to
raise campaign funds. The story
sounded so improbable that the ex-
PLANTATION issued at Democratic head
quarters in New York by a spokes-
man for Mr.. Farley was readily ac-
cepted. The statement said that
"chairmen of these committees were
selected from names of prominent
Democrats all over the country and
IL postmasters we're found to be in
cluded they would be replaced"
This seemed entirely plausible,
but what is the explanation of state
ments made by Missouri post
masters? Alexander w. Graham,
postmaster of Kansas City, Mo-, is
quoted as saying that he had been
called on the telephone by the Demo-
cratic National Committee and asked
TO serve as chairman of a finance
committee. He declined. Leslie L.
Travis, postmaster Of Joplin. Mo-, is
quoted as saying that he had been
requested by Farley ito head a fin
ance committee" but refused to
serve because to do so would lay
him open to fine and imprisonment
for political activities" Another
postmaster, saying that he had been
asked by Farley to do the work, was
assured that his being postmaster
would not lin any way interfere"
Others make similar statements, |
bringing the matter directly home to |
the Postmaster-G General.
While it is not easy to believe that |
Mr.. Farley would commit such a |

Missouri postmasters would delib-

THE HORNETS NAME is
JOHN HAMILTON

Mr.. John Hamilton thinks like
chain lightning, says the right thing
at the right time and he is not going
to let the political mOuthpiece of the
New Deal get away with rabble-rOus-
ing statements that sneer at the Kan
sas governor, his stand on the issues
or the chances Governor Landon has
for winning the election.
Mr.. Farley certainly made no
friends for his cause when he styled
Governor Landon as a synthetic can
didate running on a counterfeit plat
form. The postmaster general-na-
tional chairman-New York State
chairman is so east seacoast in his
views he thinks nothing good can
originate in the West.
Mr.. HamiltOn's reply to the Farley
Outburst leaves the thTee-jOb cam
paign manager as the loser of round
one with the young. red-haired fell
low from Kansas.
At Cleveland the delegates we're
hopeful Mr.. Farley would keep right
on making his vote-losing statements
and it appears he will accommodate

MIR. FARLEY'S COMMENT

Big Jim Farley says that Landon
and Knox make up a synthetic ticket
for the National Republican Party.
He says something about a counter
felt platform.
Mr.. Farley should know that there
is nothing synthetic about the Post
Office deficits since he has been Post
master General.
He should know that there has
been nothing counterfeit about the
New Deals disregard of the National
Democratic platform adopted four
years ago
The American dollar under the
New Deal may be somewhat syn
thetic. having lost 40 of its cents and
having lost its gold standing.

cuss synthetic tickets and counter
felt platforms.-Ch Charleston. S. c..

What Democratic Editors Are Saying
MOMENTARY LAPSE AT G. H. Q


The functloning Of the Democratic
National Committees machinery
usually is without flaw or friction,
but there we're all the symptoms Of
crossed wires when Missouri post
masters began receiving appoint
ments as local chairmen of the
Roosevelt Nominators," a dollar
raising organization to benefit the
party chest, and several Of them de-
cIined TO serve. Postmaster Leslie
l.. Travis Of Joplin, for instance, said
he was too busy with other duties"
These refusaIs may have reminded
Chairman-P -Postmaster-G General Farley
that although postmasters get their
appointments in the spoils-system
manner, they are technically sup
posed to run their pOstoffices and
not party errands. and some Of them
are individualistic enough to say so.
Or 1t may have been decided that the
spectacle of pOstmasters selling tick
cts to help finance the campaign
would have given too much ammu-
milton to those troublesome people
who are forever insisting upon the
merit system.
At any rate, it develops it was all
a misunderstanding. Leading Demo-
Gratis in the communities are being
chosen, party headquarters explains,
and some postmasters may by chance
be among them. Whenever such an
error as this is discovered, the post
master is asked to name someone |
else to do the work. Quite under

generally supposed to have files of |

BACK, CRAZY
SONG SHOWS

CHICAGO, Jan. 9. U.R) - The
music has been going round no
no no for four years now but it
didn't come out here until 1896
and so Red Hodgson figures this is
a good sign that prosperity is back.
1t is indeed a good sign that
prosperity is here for Hodgson,
VINO wrote the dizzy piece-"The
Music Goes Round and Around"
His theory of musical economics,
as propounded today, is that the
opulent twenties we're noted for
such ditties as Yes, We have No
Bananas Barney Google" and
1T Amt Gonna Rain No More"
Hence" he said, lit follows that
we are now entering upon a period
of industrial expansion which will
put the tWenties to shame, since
my song makes less sense than
any heretofore devised for human
consumption.
Mr.. Hoover recognized this
principle when he was president
for he asked Rudy Vallee to write
a song to end the depression. The
trouble was that President Hoover
asked the wrong guy"
Three Valves
Nobody asked him to write about
the music going round and around
no no no, Hodgson admitted. 1t
resulted he said, from too close
application to the mellophone. an
instrument he was playing with a
band in Galesburg, Ill, four years
ago.
The mellophone looks something
like French horn but sounds diff
ferent. 1t has three valves.
81 push the first valve down."
Hodgson explained, "the music goes
round and around, no no no no.
and it comes up here"
He went on to tell about the
middle valve and the third valve.
The result, no matter which you
push, is always the same.
Made Little Stir
Hodgson sang the song around
the middle west without creating
any particular excitement until
four months ago when Ruth Lee,
who had been in an orchestra
with him, went to New York and
sang it at the Onyx club. Mike
Riley and Ed Farley OF the clubs
orchestra decided 10 have it pub
lished. Hodgson agreed to take a
third interest The piece hit the
nation between the eyes on New
Years eve.
A lot of folks have consoled
themselves with the thought that
well, anyhow, Yes, We Have No
Bananas" was at the peak of its
popularity for only six months OF
1923 and songs don't last SO long
nowadays.
Hodgson is ready for that. He's
writing another song based, 1t is
said, on the saxophone which has
many, many more valves than the
mellophone.
