IN the predicament Of explaining why it was he
picked the workingmen as the ones to look after.
So, as means of Showing his ambidexterity he
got the brilliant idea the other afternoon of pre-
pairing petition which implied that Congress
would come back in mid-October if the Senate
Agriculture Committee would have bill ready.
He wasn't Intentionally putting the Agricultural
Committee Senators on the spot. He was simply
watching out for Hugo. We sat in the gallery and
watched him pass the petition around OF the
five we saw sign it, not single one read it,
Ready to Help Hugo
They figured it was something to help Hugo
and let it go at that. You can imagine our amaze
ment when we saw the thing develop into an extra
session boom. What would bea splendid outcome
would be just to have an extra session of Hugo
let him be the only one to come back
On that petition are such agriculturally minded
Senators as Wagner and Guffey. Now neither one
is interested in the farmers, but they were very
much interested at that time in helping Hugo or
anybody else who would help them Wagner's
housing bill was being riddled by the stubborn
logic Of those Senators whose hearts don't beat
day and night for the underdog as Wagners does.
And although this housing bill is being described
as the browning event Of Wagner's humanitarian
life, it is not generally known, but fact that it
ranks pretty high up in Guffeys career The
tongue Of his Pennsylvania political machine is
hanging out for some of that money to spend

half Of their book at the same time and the com.
mttee which raised the hard cash to pay for the
whoop-teedoo in Cleveland which ended with the
GROWING of Kansas ALI, kicked in with the same
guarantee.
The Republicans arrangements with Gallagher
were under the control of former Representative
Chester c. Bolton, Of Ohio. Unfortunately for Gal
lagher, the Republican book lacked literary ap
peal or something, and his high pressure boys
were unable to needle the suckers and melt sales
resistance as easily as they did with the literary
output of Farley, Charles Michaelson and the
other Democratic Hterateurs.
Also, when it came to the de luxe editions, the
Republicans had nothing to match the Democratic
$3.50 number embellished with that effective one
line contribution from the PreSident-the anthem
tic signature Franklin D. Roosevelt"
Both Sides of the Street
It was the discovery that $3.50" Gallagher had
been working both the Democratic and Republican
sides Of the streets in effort to bring campaign
literature within the reach of all that caused the
broad grin in the Capital.
Only fortnight ago G. o. P. House Leader
Smell, in a burst of honest Indignation, called
upon the Congress and the Attorney Generals Of
flee to probe this nefariouS custom of Sknning fat
cats with fountain pen and subscription blank.
Later Smell wrote Indignantly to the Attorney
General, Homer s. Cummings. Thursday the At
torney General advised Smell that the department
would be charmed if Smell would add to the evi.
dence already on hand.
The Democratic House Rules Committee, with
suspicious eagerness, announced its intention to
inquire into the Smell charges Of Irregularities Of
the sale Of campaign books.
Now comes the revelation that both outfits re-
tanned 5000" Gallagher. You won't hear much
more about campaign book scandals. Both crowds
feel trifle silly.

lation Of his State. All Of sudden he woke up to
the fact that farm organizations in his State were
resoluting against him and it behooved the Sen
ator to do something and to do it quick.
Runs Again Next Year
He comes up for reelection next year and the
reports are that he has hard fight ahead, but
we put no stock in these as yet, because reports
purporting to tell what is to happen to Senator
the following year are more apt to be case of
the wish being father to the thought.
But there is no doubt that the Senator was
perturbed when he woke up to the fact that he
had neglected the farmers. He had a right to
assume of course that somebody else was looking
after them. He can't do it all, but he is caught

But the outsider finds it hard to combat their

Everything, literally everything in Salt Lake
City centers about the visible and the invisible
signs Of the Mormon faith. Temple Square
where the Temple, the Tabernacle and other
church buildings are located-is the center Of
the city. The streets Of the city are named be-
cause of their position in regard to the Temple.

The city is divided into four sections-North,

BAKER PLEDGES
DRIVE BY U.F.W.

A promise to drive for sweeping
reforms in personnel administra-
ton of the Government service
was the keynote of a talk last
night by Jacob Baker, president
Of the United Federal Workers of
America, in his first radio speech
since assuming leadership of the
c. I. o. organization.
Baker, former assistant admins
traitor of the Works Progress Ad-
ministration, strongly reiterated
his previous stand against strikes
and picketing by Government en-
ployes, but declared Federal per-
sonnet must have more adequate
salaries, decent hours, and hu-
name working conditions" if mo-
rale is to continue at high level.
Baker outlined his unions inten-
ton to seek beneficial legislation
for employees, adjust administra-
ton inequities and sponsor a con-
tinuous educational program to
make members better Govern
ment servants and better citizens. :"
