Biz Business Backs G. o. P.

On one side the chief protagonists will be the industrialists of the state--whose leader Is Joseph R. Grundy, the great tariff lobbyist; the Melons and their vast holdings in coal, aluminium, oil, banks, and public utilities--represented politi- cally and legally by ex-senator Dav- i'd A. Reed; the Pew oil family, which Is spending money as if in Q holy war; and Q host of well-to-do con- servatives to whom the New Deal Is anathema.
 The outstanding single factor on the other side Is President John l.. Lewis of the United Mine Work CTS of America, who COncelvably can deliver 36O,00O votes and who is battling aggresslvely for Roose- welt.
 Pennsylvania labor as Q whole will be overwhelmingly for R0Ose- welt, if It's leaders are to be bee lieved, but already there Is evl. dence of Q grim effort by large em- pIoyers to steer their workers into the republican column.
 The supreme courts recent deci- sions against the Guffey coal act and the New York minimum wage law are said to have solidified labor sen- timent behind Roosevelt.

Democrats Fooled Twice

It was Guffey, then only q demo- cratic leader in western Pennsyl- vania, who in 1928 persuaded the politically naive John Raskob that Al Smith could snt,tch this state from Herbert Hoover. Raskob sent in half a million dollars on that sayso.
 The records all say that Hoover beat Smith by a million votes. Four years later Farley believed the same story, spent plenty of money here, and Roosevelt lost by only I67,000.
 Politically, it is very important tO know whether Guffey, Farley, and Roosevelt have been fooled once more.
 PennSylvanla's S6 electoral votes are second In number only to New York's 46. She may properly bc cOnlsedered q doubtful state, ale though some republicans den ythis.
 Her pivotal character is obvious.
 Inquiry on the scene reveals that if there is any area where the cam paign will take on the aspects of what some politicians have referred to as "class war;" 1t will be in Penn- sylvania.

Democratic Machine Strong

The democratic state machine is far stronger than ever before, since all. the federal patronage and about 30,000 state jobs are now in demo- cratic hands-to say nothing of the WPA organization, which democratic politicians have 1lursed carefully.
 In 1884 GufRey and George Earle upset decades of republican rule and were elected senator and gov- ernOr by respective ma ajorlties of 12S.0O0 and 25,OOO.
 The key to the Pennsylvania situation is In Philadelphia and surrounding counties. Guffey may exaggerate privately when he promises to run up . majority of l5O,OOO In western Pennsylvania, but political writers agree that Roosevelt will come east with an edge and that his victory or de- feat will depend on the size of the adverse majority he finds in Phil- adelphia.
 Much has happened in the Quaker metropolis since the days when the late. Boss Bill Ware held undisputetl political sway in the city. The old Ware wards no longer produce the almost fantastic majcrities which he was able to deliver and two years ago Guffey lost Philadelphia coun- ty by only 5000 votes.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-06-25

All the ballyhoo out of Philadel- phia is aimed at the nation in gen. eral, but specifically at Philadelphia and the eastern part of the state, where Landon will run strongest.
 Roosevelt and Farley decided the Quaker City should have the conven- ton because, as Guffey said, Q rip- roaring democratic show here might well pep up the morale of the cit- izens and the party workers of this area to the point where victory would be probable.

Among the recent works that
have been shelvcd at the City Ii

In an address to the Friends of

declared: 81 fear that the writing
of biography and indeed of all

the character of a pastime, and

all the longer histories and bioe-
raphics in America have been the
work Of men who had appreciate
means and decent leisure-or else
purchased at the greatest sacri-
flee the hours required for their
research"
The enormity of this task is
seen by the fact that its compile
ton required all of Mr.. Freeman's
leisure moments for twenty years
and cost him thousands of dol.
lars in investigation and research.
He declares that the preparation

Nicholson Gives
Advice To COP.

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 81. (UP)---
Charles Nicholson, director OF
publicity for the Democratic ma
tional committee, who is vacation
ing here, yesterday had a word
of advice for the Republican par
ty.
"The best bet for the Republi-
cans lies now in building up a
strong conservative party. They
found in the last election that you
can't ride two horscs-conserva-
tism and liberalism"
He predicted that of the states
that still have Republican govern
ors. New Jersey, Maryland and
California will swing into the
Democratic column in the next
election.
"But politics are adjourned for
q while now" he said, land I'm
interested only in loafing." He

He place-kicked two extra points

Captain Stewart played a bang

several nice gains on offensive. No
