over the radio. Mrs. Hard, as l un-

who have TO work, but would prefer
to stay at home, as much as they
would make if employed and let
them stay at home, although she

The three leading contenders-
Landon, Knox, Borah-all are
from the Middle West, and if one
of them is nominated for first
place, second place is likely to go
to an Fastener.

Wadsworth would be a front rank
contender for the nomination ex-

oppose Roosevelt.
For strategical purposes the Re-
publicanS must nominate a West
erner, in the hope of offsetting the
Presidents strength in that area.

G. o. P. master minds are
counting heavily on carrying the
conservative East this year, and
Wadsworth fits perfectly into this
picture. A former Senator, good
campaigner and one of the ablest
conservatives in the Republican
Party, his appeal would oe
strong all along the Atlantic sea-
board, especially in New York
State, one of the major battle
grounds of the campaign.
The Landon camp looks with
warm favor on Wadsworth, and,
for that matter. so do the Knox
ties. In fact, Wadsworth is the
logical teammate for any Western
candidate the convention might
choose except Borah.

WAsH1NGToN, May r.
w Like football, presidential
politics has it's array of hopeful
bench warmers, watchfully wait
ing on the sidelines for the
break" that will send them into
the game.
In 1882, with Hoover pre-empt-
ing the Republican field and the
Democratic race wide open, the
squad of second -stringers clut-
tered up the Democratic side.
This year, with the situation re-
versed, the would-bes are on the
G. o. P. bench.
Without exception every one of
the group is q long-odds entry.
What they are really shooting
for is second, and not first, place.
But this does not mean that they
have abandoned all hope of grab
bling off the stellar role.
In 1920, after Senator Hiram
johnson, Gov. Frank Lowden and
Gen. Leonard Wood had fought
one another to a standstill, War
rem G. Harding stepped in and
walked off with the Republican
nomination. In 1924, when Al
Smith and William Gibbs Nc
Adoo deadlocked the Democratic
convention for interminable days,
the exhausted delegates finally
turned to John w. Davis, rank
outsider,
It is possible--though not prob
able-that the Cleveland conven-
ton this year may get into q
hopeless tangle over the leading
runners and have to turn to
bench-warmer. On the chance
that the lightning-in one form
or another--may strike in their
particular direction, the follow
ing aspirsnts are champing rest
lessly in the Republican paddock:
Senator Lester j. Dickinson,
Iowa. Rep. James w. Wadsworth,
New York, Rep. Hamilton Fish,
New York and Gov. Frank F.
Merriam, California.
TWO factors distinguish the
l. candidacy of "Hell-roaring
Dick Dickinson:
]. Among Republican politicos
he is considered Flowers secret
choice-that is, Foover's choice
after himself.
2. Securing place or the presi-
Dental ticket is q matter of al
most urgent necessity with Dick
inson: for he probably will not be
reelected to the Senate.
To what extent there Is an
agreement between the Iowa Sem
ator and the ex-PreSident is not
known. But. privately, Hoover
has displayed marked cordiality
toward Dickinson-Something he
has not shown toward any of the
other candidates.
The two men have much in
common. Both are Iowans, they
see eye to eye for q high tariff,
against Federal relief expendi-
lures, and on other major issues.
Also, with Dickinson the party
nominee, Hoover would be q DOM
mating influence m his counsels.
If this fails. Dickinson's sem
atorial situation is precarious.
Even If he should scrape through
the Republican senatorial pri-
mary. he would face an uphill
fight in the election.

these indicate the diverse fields
with which this agency is con-
cerned.
A THOUGH much of the pro-
IA gram is experimental and
only small beginnings of what
might be a, 20 or 30-year process if
carried on, Administrator Tugwell
says it all adds up to an effort to
permanently strengthen the props
under our economic and social
structure" ....
The programs three major
phases are:
l. Purchase of millions of acres
of poor land and conversion to
proper usage-parks, forests, graz
ing land and wildlife conservation.
2. Transfer of thousands of
families from bad land to good
land and experiments in transfer
ring urban families to suburban
communities.
3. Rehabilitation of hundreds of
thousands of farmers by loans and
farm and home management ad-
vice, thereby reducing relief rolls.
For this program, Resettlement
Administration has been allocated
about $275 100000 from the four
billion dollar work relief fund.
The largest single item of ex-
penditure will be for loans to
farmers who have so little that
they can't borrow elsewhere. More
than a million farm families have
gone on relief in the last few
years.
Resettlement Administrative
now has $3.50 employees in Wash

total of 1851. Average salary is
$1407 year.
